Meanwhile, sh*t is gonna get real! This time between DirecTV and Viacom: https://deadline.com/2019/03/daily-show-warning-viacom-directv-blackout-comedy-central-neal-brennan-att-1202578873/

* weekday programming.   WTTG airs opinion programming at 7pm and a political show at 11:30pm so its not entirely news in those timeslots.

It is because FX and Disney Channel are both cable networks now owned by The Walt Disney Company. It's that simple. If you started seeing FX stuff at Disney.com that would be weird, but the corporate website has a different audience.

Scranton doesn't deserve Tegna. Perhaps it should be swapped for a station in a market that would appreciate the ooh-aahing.   WNEP for WFXT. Make this happen. Terrier gets a market actually near their stations and Boston gets a company that actually cares about their stations.   The fact that two totally different groups are being forcibly merged together. Anything would've been better than this - Tegna, Scripps, a sale back to Fox, Nexstar, anyone not named Sinclair.   Terrier also has zero path to buy anything in New England or New York except maybe Hubbard. And the stations they have in New York right now are small market trash that fit in better with Gray. It's time to put the puppy down and sell 25 to someone that cares.    Nobody. If I was Apollo I would turn around and give up now since there is nothing to go for. This the worst case scenario for all involved.

One more from my small collection of early 2000s news footage taped off cable on S-VHS...WCMH 5pm show the Monday after the OSU-Michigan riots in 2002 (November 25, to be exact).
