It wouldn't surprise me to see a primetime newscast or magazine extension (cough cough dateline, 2020, 48 hours mystery) fill some holes in the schedule as well.
Don't Dateline and 20/20 already have two-hour broadcasts?!

I think these games were previously on regional sports networks (re: not on ABC/any ESPN network, including the ACC Network).
This definitely came from the Bally contract they ended up voided earlier this year.

It's 12:43am/ET. And I can't believe that Fox 5 is doing a live late newscast after the All-Star game.
They usually "pre-tape" a one half-hour show after the game when it goes past 11pm.
Are they doing this for sweeps?......

I'm assuming they will be airing the eastern feed "live" and airing the pacific feed at it's normal time (6:30?)
KFSN airs WNT at their normal time @ 5:30 (like KGO).

Well its a dawn of brand new day at WBBH. Hearst completed its acquisition of the station yesterday (6/30).
The now-former owners slipped a goodbye message to its Southwest Florida viewers.
Bye-Bye Waterman. RIP Bernie.

Last month, WAVY demolished their former set (debuted back in 2016). They're currently anchoring from a temp set behind a chroma key.
Let me add this tidbit. Their last two sets debuted on July 21 (2008 & 2016). Could this happen for a third time?.....

Just saw this license to cover, but apparently (since the end of last month) KTUL has lit up RF 14.
The station has reminded viewers to rescan today (6/27). That means that grace period for keeping VHF 10 on will end today.
Staying with Sinclair, Nebraska's KHGI is a step closer to lighting up its UHF 18 signal. They recently installed its new antenna.

Advocacy groups American TV Alliance & NCTA filed an informal objections (not Petitions to Deny) to the FCC over the WADL deal.
They're basically saying Mission is buying the station on behalf of Nexstar. And that (in their eyes) violates the national ownership cap.
Quote“Nexstar and not Mission is the real party in interest here” stated ATVA spokesperson, Cora Mandy in a statement. “In other words, the proposed transaction is a smokescreen. It will allow Nexstar to violate Congress’s national ownership rule. And it will allow Nexstar to continue to inflate retransmission consent prices for consumers in Detroit and elsewhere.”

Y'all don't have to worry about a switch in Atlanta. WANF will stay as a CBS affiliate.
Gray has renewed its CBS deal in all of its 54 markets.

It's been a minute. But two new petitions today.
One, Gray has filed a petition to switch another one of its newly-acquired stations from last year's auction from VHF to UHF.
KWNV in Winnemucca, NV is vacating VHF 7 for UHF 16.
Previously, Gray filed to switch its Yuma signal from VHF 11 to UHF 27.
The other, NPG has filed to switch Idaho Falls station KIFI from VHF 8 to UHF 18.

WKYC is retooling again…silly newscast names remain for the morning, 7pm and 11pm…
And we're going to come back in a few months to do another "retooling"......
How they can maintain stability when they constantly shuffling their on-air talent around?

Big Follow-Up.
The FCC is following through with the $518,283K fine. Gray said it will appeal through the courts.
Here's the forfeiture paper.
And Big Bump.
Gray has now filed that lawsuit to the 11th Circuit over that fine.

I really think Tegna needs to lay low on any future M&A takeovers for a good while.

While one big M&A was terminated last night, another deal is about to reach the finish line......
Nearly seven weeks after filing the paperwork, the FCC has greenlighted this WBBH deal.

From that press release:
QuoteTEGNA is entitled to receive a termination fee of $136 million from Standard General.
Beyond these actions, TEGNA’s Board of Directors and management team are also actively reviewing the return of additional excess capital that accumulated during the pending merger.
That $136M Standard General has to pay up won't be enough. I hope Tegna file suit to get every penny owed.
Shareholders better file their own suit too.

This should also be mentioned that this will be the first time since 1990 that Greg Gumbel will not be a part of the NFL coverage. This was announced back in the spring.
He'll remain the studio host of the NCAA March Madness coverage.
