isn't a transmitter transmitting from a master feed? if so you can take that, pipe it into ffmpeg and bam a HLS stream. I only know the basics though, for subtitles it's going to be way harder to get that to work.

streaming is killing TV.

The Incredible Hulk rights and everything else Disney wants says hi.

@Weeterssince Bob Iger is back. what would you title this thread now and for the future?

man they should just sell 33% to Fox Corp. and call it a day. much easier than offloading an investment you spent millions of dollars on.

I loved @midnight, I hope to be a part of it's new incarnation as a guest.

that or have a warning post pinned, punish those who are speculating and push the thread on topic. which is about WANF, not WUPA

around the same time Sinclair started to move some affiliations to their primary channels ahead of a theoretical crackdown on shell ownership.

I don't know why people liked Diane Sawyer more than Katie Couric, the CBS Evening News in it's later years shifted to serious news and I thought she did a good job but others were like... eh. plus CBS was trying too hard to look for the next Walker Cronkite when they should of been working on delivering a fine news product. those are my thoughts anyways.

now that is slick.

I blame the treatment of content as disposable as why TV is going down the drain.

that is... unexpected but good news regardless.

I have a feeling they did Wendy Williams' talk show dirty.

this is a joke to those who valued their integrity over the cold hard cash.

I get that not everybody likes what Tegna is doing but I doubt Standard General is going to do a good job at "bringing journalism back" or "making the stations great again", I don't have inside info but I'm on the side of "this is a bad deal" and that Bryon Allen should of gotten these stations. It would of been much more of a story than another hedge fund taking TV stations down a notch. How is WLNE doing anyways?

why did they turn down Bryon Allen, that's what I want to know.

the ABC logo should be in two colors only. black and white

it's not going to collapse at all. there's more of a chance of cable collapsing entirely than streaming. cable is redundant anyways.

I swear the mishandling of Tribune could be it's own documentary. They had no idea what to do with WGN America (when compared to TBS which was a superstation in itself) and the only saving grace they had was that they had an image and namesake stations like WPIX/KTLA/WGN and the like. Ever since Nexstar bought Tribune, it's like Tribune's management has been poisoning the company. To me, Nexstar today feels like what would of happened had Sinclair successfully attempted to acquire Tribune, a total trainwreck that claims to care about locals but only cares about the bottom line. I wouldn't be surprised if many Nexstar stations go right wing in the future if Nexstar's investment in a right-wing NewsNation is successful. Nexstar is essentially Sinclair but better handled in my eyes now. It's not NewsNation related but I posted this because Nexstar's handling of NewsNation could be the future of Nexstar as a whole.

title may not be great, thread might get closed but looking at the number of people who left and the number of controversies that NewsNation is going through. I feel like it's worthy of a thread to discuss in detail the turmoil that's going on at NewsNation. It's amazing how in a few months, NewsNation lost a majority of it's staff and is going far to the right in defiance of it's original mission (which didn't get ratings but they could of tried harder). I'd be surprised if the network didn't shut down at the end of the year, gained a sizable audience and managed to make something for itself in the cable news world.

O&O gravitas doesn't matter anymore. Nobody's buying new stations except for FOX and that's mainly to get more money out of areas where they have NFL rights. If anything, O&O's might be sold off if they're not viable anymore but I don't see Disney selling ABC or FOX selling to Disney and I'll be surprised if they do. Also any talk of WPLG as an ABC O&O is simply pure fantasy. Just because NBC & CBS own O&O's in Miami does not mean that it's an O&O market just like Boston isn't an O&O market. Think of it from a business perspective, not from a "fantasy TV" perspective.

Instead of doing that, we should just ban ABC selling speculation in this thread until there are actual rumors suggesting that ABC might be sold.

I can safely say this with 100% certainty. Nothing radical is going to happen to Disney.
