In Chicago, WMEU-CD has an UHF simulcast of WBBM because of the fact CBS knows that some areas of Chicago wasn't able to get the VHF signal.

The only reason they put WLS on UHF (their only one there outside KFSN) was because Chicago is truly OTA heavy and they had to do anything to do so because they were in the same boat as WBBM, and at least as a very last resort you can get WABC/KABC waivered on satellite. As the sign in Wells Fargo Center says, Philadelphia is "Comcast Country" and there's a back-rub relationship to drive viewers there rather than trying to get them to watch over-the-air on that cruddy signal. For now at least you can get it on UHF through ATSC3 through WPSG, and since its in 1080p that's how you should get it anyways. But agreed, the subs they have are just needless noise and ABC should just send Localish to Internet-only at this point and relaunch weather stations.

Here is this, from Crossing Broad: https://www.crossingbroad.com/2024/04/jamie-apody-mystery-employment-status-update-5.html This one offers a little more possible insight: https://www.crossingbroad.com/2024/04/jamie-apody-mystery-employment-status-update-4.html

...all while you have an anchor from "Greensboro" on WXLV bragging on how their news comes from San Antonio! How many other half-news departments are there? WPMI essentially simulcasts WEAR on the weekends. Both stations are worse off now that WEAR has to water down there coverage to cover Mobile as well.

If TNT loses the NBA this is the biggest loss of the entire process Turner being with the NBA for 40 years Inside the NBA ends it will be the biggest mistake in the history of the league

Yea, how much times will they have to mess up their TV stations before the FCC catches the idea? I mean, ending news departments, making KTUL and KOKH's newscast basically almost the same thing. Yet 'PIX is the problem? The Federal Communications Commission, they JUST DELETED LOCAL NEWS at WNWO in Toledo and STILL did nothing about KDNL, is you not understanding what's going on?

What are the chances of NBC getting a piece of the rights?

Are you able to provide some more insight? Story is behind a paywall.

Didn't see the earlier broadcasts, but she was back on for Morning's at 10. She looked so refreshed!

This was bound to happen, especially with the impending collapse of RSNs as we know it.

Yea, it probably should.

Should we move this thread to the Breakroom section? Seems like it fits there.

I’ve always viewed as more ownership based than affiliate based. For instance, KHOU and WFAA are sister stations in Texas despite one being a CBS affiliate and the other being ABC.

Sister stations are stations that are owned by the same company as them. For example WOOD-TV in Grand Rapids is the sister station to WLNS in Lansing -- both are owned by Nexstar. WNBC in NYC is sister to KNBC in LA -- both are owned by NBCUniversal... etc etc etc

It is a bit strange. Different stations have different uses for "sister" stations. Most I hear using it are addressing another O/O, another same-company-owned station, and much more rarely, a fellow network affiliate. More often, I hear "_(network)_ station" or "_(network)_ affiliate" by a station to refer to another same-network station, if the station doesn't say the other station's call letters directly.

They’ve lost their minds at Sinclair.

Assuming AMG itself even cares about This TV anymore. The network has lost a massive chunk of their carriage over the past few years, and I've heard speculation on other forums that it's probably not long for this world. If The CW is truly bound for WDIV, it'll probably replace This TV, even if Graham has to pay off Bryon Allen.

Good to see the site's back, even if it's undergone a few changes in the process. Definitely not the first online community I've been a part of that's undergone changes over the years, and unlikely to be the last. (I'd have chimed in sooner, but I moved from NH to CT and am cheerfully buried in things that need to be done.)

XD Imagine that, "This is The CW Detroit on Channel 4.5" In this case, They can move the classic programs down but NBC, Weigel, and Byron gonna get mad at WDIV, XD Oh also, WADL is less likely to even get The CW now, XD

They're paying the competition for an subchannel XD Poor WPVI, despite the first place rating, people in Philly can't get the station because it's an VHF digital station (on Ch. 6) while it's competitors are Digital UHF stations (Virtual Channels don't particularly count) If Disney just putting an translator on Philly, that'll be better.
