Oh my god that's gorgeous.

How is Sinclair supposed to afford the Fox Sports Nets? I have no clue how they can afford any of this. They went from the verge of bankruptcy to a rabid buyer in roughly two years and I don't hear much about that.

Has the WTTV era for CBS gone as badly as the period in the '90s when KSTW was their Seattle affiliate did? KIRO ended up getting CBS back!

Let me just say that the Redstone empire is bound for collapse, as it is based entirely on the whims of a vain egomaniac. (That being Sumner himself!)

Plus, doesn't selling off stations entirely bring in more money?

I mean, Tribune has been working on its own impending demise for the better part of two years now.

I'm thinking nobody else wanted CNHI. I saw that Raycom's site was still up too! Glad to see Gray's was redesigned in its image.

I mean, from the sound of it, those two would really benefit from their incoming Tribune associations.

Sounds like penny wisdom to me!

Do you think they want The CW back? I am kinda baffled at the ease with which Tribune appears to have let these rights go. But I know they've been trying to sell themselves for almost two years and aren't too interested in adding big expenses to their balance sheet.

An in-house firm, huh.

OBP?

Great news for cord-cutters! I am guessing that the drama at Tribune corporate means they didn't do anything to try to get in on Marquee or the rights to the other teams? Forming some sort of big sports network or two that also ensured WGN would keep their rights? Where does WGN go from here? I take it them getting any of these rights back - ever - is out of the question?

CBS's slice of humble pie was coming, honestly. The network had its dominance with total viewers down to a science and that progressed into an over-reliance on the same tired formulas. With Les and his bravado gone they can't pull the wool over people's eyes anymore. That and NBC has managed to develop shows that actually resonate with people and don't just occupy them.

I'm old enough to remember a time when Nick was bigger than Disney...remember how proud Disney was of managing to snatch Doug away from them? Also, these posts about Moonves are weird to see now.
