    Why haven't they remapped the PSIP to a UHF signal? It's the Deleware Valley for crying out loud and cable is dying. Fewer people will be watching PVI if they aren't subscribed to cable and can't watch OTA. Even Comcast knows this basic.

    KWGN wouldn't have a news department without KDVR. If KDVR is sold, is Nexstar going to establish a news department? That seems unlikely given the cost of living in Denver. Why wouldn't Fox continue an JSA/LMA?

    The design is over simplified big boxes with little detail, 1 font and 3 colors.

    This is such a "Look what we made in PowerPoint" kind of package.

    I think this would put former FOX O&Os in play. KDVR and KTVI, especially. KWGN and KPLR can be run through LMA by Fox, since they rely on the same news department and would satisfy a non-beard spin off.

    This is a long-awaited reversal of Borkian Philosophy outlined in the book The Antitrust Paradox, where he insisted that monopolistic practices that harmed consumers would be sorted out naturally by the Capitalist system.

    The viewers too. Let's be clear. If we see what I hope are many unwinding of side-care LMAs, the viewers will be the winners. This entire mass consolidation of stations has been awful for the viewers of local news. I know that these groups try to sell us synergy, but that doesn't work in local news, unless you are shutting down whole departments and consolidating their operations, but that's never good for local ad sales and local news. You can see this in the grocery industry as well. Kroger's ownership of all of their stores is a disservice to the vendors and consumers. Their stores, regardless of state, look, sound and sell all of the same things. There's nothing local.

    They will lose.

    It looks better for NYC and Raleigh, but not for WLS.

    I still think the KABC package circa ~2012-2013 is great. It could work effectively with the ABC 3 dot redesign. https://hothauscreative.com/kabc-graphics-package

    God, I hope not.

    The former KMGH AND and I speculated that this might be the case.

    Ironically, the Nielsen boxes are only in the city & county of Denver regardless of how much KCNC covers, though CBS knows this. My frustration that the Denver DMA really could and should be split into two markets it's too unwieldy to reasonably be covered by Denver stations.

    WRAL

    And this is still all predicated on if Disney decides to sell ABC within 2 years and what the new owner wants to do with the slot.

    I've always HATED live bug "tabs" on the L3. You can blame TEGNA for originating that crap. In this case, it's redundant and it's somewhat overlapping the time/temp bug.

    Looks like a Raycom graphics throwback.

    Death of cable maybe. Don't know how this will kill off broadcasting though.

    You're bang on!

    This looks better than Scripps, which is saying something about Scripps
  21. ABC 7 Denver
    Not according to my friends at Nexstar.

    Ratings drive ad revenue and that drives profits. They are taking revenue from their local stations, none of which are #1 in any market, and using it to fund NewsNation. I guess, if you don't give a crap about the content, sure, it's successful. By that metric, Scripps using AI and few responding to it could be classified as successful, because it brings in a profit. Who cares if the community is getting anything out of it, right?

    That's pretty damn special. Well deserved, Tom.
  24. ABC 7 Denver
    You could have offered some commentary like, "Looks to be conjecture" or similar.
  25. ABC 7 Denver
    So you're just taking the spin at face value. Remind me to never put you in an investigative role.
