Byron Allen has the cleanest sale period. There are no real conflicts and The FCC will clear it fast.

Yes as WBNS is not on NewsOn as well as WTOL too. The only Ohio Tegna station on News ON is WKYC.

Not going to lie here, I low key want Apollo/Cox to get the stations here and bring that COX Stations Streaming App. It is literally the best one out there that I've use!

Well that makes Ohio very interesting!

WBNS's current look is only just 3 years old for them that is young. I think they DON'T want to not break the machine in Columbus. WBNS is a beast in the market but not so much lately with WSYX and WCMH gaining on them fast... If Claps and Boops come to Columbus it will be interesting to say the least with Nexstar might want to do some new graphics for WCMH soon... (RUMOR AND SPECULATION from That source I said earlier. but I discount it hard) and WSYX actually putting up a competent news operation in Columbus. WTHR would probably go before WBNS in a lot of things.

The Dispatch stations will probably be last because word is they are dragging their feet on this for some reason but it will be in before Fall, before they will finally in my prediction.

Well that goodwill he is has is shot to hell now. So if he really banking on that... he better not do it!

Right now, WSYX is the picture of health right now. Stable news team, solid coverage of the news, Somehow with some luck avoid most of Sinclair's BS. The 6/28 team up is paying off for Sinclair to the point it can be seen as a flagship for the company.

And with cause too!

I know for a fact, WBNS and WTHR both run VizRT as the graphics system. I don't know what Tegna runs its graphics system from.

For those saying sale the Radio stations... If you live in Columbus, WBNS is SPORTS RADIO in Columbus. There is Zero Debate about it! iHeart tried and others did as well... They aren't here anymore! The Fan is a Monster Brand in the city that Tegna just got and how they do with tie stuff together here... This could be a major opportunity to them if done right. They own the rights to the major teams of the Buckeyes, Blue Jackets and Crew with other things as well. If you are a sports organization in Columbus you better be airing on The Fan.

Yes, it is that large the morning show "Good Day Columbus" is a large cast.

Damn, they do look alike. My bad!

Not recently, he was a anchor at WTTG FOX 5 DC on their morning show... but I know he left recently.

To be honest, it would of had to be Cox and even in its current form. WHIO is a strong station and WBNS would of been a great fit for them there. I think it fits more with WBNS and WTHR's culture and style more so than TEGNA's Social Media Focus. It's not the best fit in the world.
