KOLD & KMSB have entered into a Shared Services Agreement for KOLD to produce news for KMSB (Fox 11) which started today. Previously, KMSB aired KTVK's Good Morning Arizona, and a 9pm newscast based mostly in Phoenix.

KOLD has a story on their new website (which changes the address from KOLD.com to TucsonNewsNow.com)
http://www.tucsonnew...tucson-news-now

It looks like graphics and music are pretty much the same.

KOLD is owned by Raycom Media, which also produces Hawaii News Now in Honolulu.

I've seen this film before...and I don't want it. The only way to fix things is to make shared services agreements count against ownership totals AND to not grandfather what's there.

Is KMSB changing news packages from Primetime News? I highly bet they will use the X Package.
Fire the consultants, roll back the clock, and let's make TV news what it should be.

Nailed WFRV's new Nexstar website name three months before it happened.

You're correct according to SouthernMedia NMSA!

I saw that. Boy, am I good at nailing these things. (This time there was precedent: seemingly every Raycom Fox affiliate uses that package.)
