My money's on Wrobo, too.

It sure would. Consultants have an expiration date, and Cheatwood's was years ago.

About the only reliable source of income newspapers have these days is public notices.

Cunningham Broadcasting-owned Portland, ME FOX affiliate WPFO expands "Good Day Maine" to the 8AM hour starting today, extending the morning franchise to 4-1/2 hours a day overall (4:30A-9:00A), the first 2-1/2 hours being on Sinclair-owned CBS affiliate WGME, which produces GDM. Of course Cunningham is a Sinclair shell company to get around duopoly rules.

Original post corrected to mention that it's Saturdays only (for now, anyway.)

With the most highly-contested US Senate race in the country underway, WMTW is adding a 7PM Saturday newscast on its CW-affiliated sister station WPXT starting August 31. Gotta grab as many of those sweet 2020 campaign dollars as you can...

It makes a lot of sense. Comcast makes NECN available to competing cable operators in New England, so this isn't unprecedented.

Fun fact - Steve Minich has been here in Portland at WMTW since 1991.
