I see a lot of TV station groups dropping what was Dabal yeah, don't need another WB/UPN 90s early 2000s as that seems to be on a lot of networks that those sitcoms air on. Only one that I watched was One On One, never did get into Sister Sister only watched a handful of times when it was on ABC TGIF lineup.
I watched all of em and liked em but One on One, Moesha and The Parkers were the best.

It looks like CW is going to be on WOTV 41.2 according to Rabbitears. I read that on the Discord. Not sure what CW7 will become. Not sure if you meant ABC when you said ARC but ABC will be remaining on WOTV.
No, ARC West Michigan is the brand they'll take once they lose CW. It'll just be an independent. Why they chose that name, I don't know.

I'm just surprised WRBL isn't also getting it.

If I may add to this discussion, I literally make more money as a college student, working a 17-an-hour job than some journalists and meteorologists THAT HAVE degrees too.
One station was trying to hire a meteorologist for eight an hour. A Bakersfield TV station was offering 15 an hour to a reporter who would also have to anchor and sometimes even PRODUCE. What does all this tell you? Oh and the grocery stores and fast food restaurants pay no less than $15 as well without a degree.

The fact that Coastal plays shell for Allen in Tupelo-Columbus gives me hope (and I cannot believe I'm saying that in this context) that Coastal would turn over operations to Forum.
But the higher ups have really cracked down. If Forum had a mind like a few other people around here, they'd have bought the non license assets in Fargo and made WDAZ the Fox station.

That's terrible, terrible news for those stations. Even Byron Allen or Nexstar would have been much better.
This. So much this.

Wendell Edwards out at WFSB... What gets me is he just loves to move all over the country.. I can easily count 6 stations he's been at over the past 20 years...
KOCO was one, WBMA was another.

“Adell told B+C he did not have an affiliation agreement with The CW, but agreed to air the network as an “accommodation” as he awaited the FCC’s signoff on the sale.”
Someone just needs to get this boy away now. If he is “accommodating” them, like he says, he has a contract with them. How is Scripps and WMYD breaking anything? The CW/Nexstar had to go to them, not the other way around.THAT RIGHT THERE. So, let's just say this was all without an affiliation agreement. Well then, at any point, Nexstar themselves could have easily pulled the affiliation. But let's say that Nexstar and Adell had gotten into it after the CW began airing WWE and acquiring whatever other events and then Nexstar had pulled the affiliation and gave it to whoever.
Adell would STILL be crying nonsense. This is the man that had a major network affiliation in 1994 all but handed to him on a gold (never mind silver) platter but managed to mess that up and sent them to a station no one knew existed and is just now relevant. Adell is what would have happened had Weigel been run by wackos and it's an insult to even mention Weigel in this post.

As part of that big switch just over 3 weeks ago, MyNetworkTV moves to WSNN-LD (Suncoast News Network), channel 39, airing it in primetime. WTTA still airs MyNetworkTV during the overnight hours (1:00am to 3:00am to be exact).
I admit I'm surprised more stations don't do this and that this wasn't a thing when UPN and WB were in operation. At least this would have technically been good for ratings.

Byron Allen's Comics Unleashed is
expanding from CBS local (and the rest of first-run syndication) to CBS proper for a limited time only, starting September 18.
https://deadline.com/2023/09/comics-unleashed-with-byron-allen-cbs-late-night-1235543726/
CBS is sorry as hell for this. At this point just do edited versions of past Paramount hits. I wanna know which executive decided that (insert Paramount show here) was not a good idea and this was.
They honestly could just try to temporarily import Clone High (i know its technically on Max but still) and a few other shows to temporarily compete against Fox (if on Sundays or Mondays) or Adult Swim (if in late night) for example, if it's this bad. Do a special late night Drew Barrymore or something. It's one thing to recycle content but at least show something that's relevant.

I was plenty shocked when I first heard him talk. I expected a young anchor out of college or a Latino anchor given the demographics of our area (we just passed 50% Hispanic/Latino in the last census). I bet he has plenty of stories to share from his days of covering Eurovision and his time growing up in England.
*Has there ever been another British lead anchor in a US local news department before? I know we had Jenni Hogan who did traffic in Seattle, mostly KIRO, for a few years, and she's from Australia or New Zealand...and I know KTVV Austin had Anne Fulwood in the 1980s, also from Australia.*
WDEF had a dude that was from Ireland (I think). Don't know if he anchored much though.

They will never sell out in Pittsburgh, that was their second market. Baltimore Pittsburgh and Columbus are where this company started and the success they had in those three markets are what built this company.
Well,they're gonna have to sell at least 15 markets. If they still wanna be a company at all.

I understand Sinclair wants to hoard as many stations as possible but WUTV and WPGH are two stations I could easily see being sold off. In the words of a certain meme, Get somebody else to do it.
They need to sell certain stations while they're ahead. Selling KBSI isn't enough. Some more markets have to go.

And the hammer has dropped at WPMI in Mobile.
https://www.lagniappemobile.com/news/deep-cuts-at-local-tv-station/article_52a2f324-ca89-11ed-accd-17afb130f97d.html (paywalled story)
To sum it up, the 5-7 AM newscast, noon show and lifestyle program Gulf Coast Today will be cancelled. The National Desk will replace the 5-7 newscast with "local cut-ins" beginning on April 17th. The current 5, 6 and 10 newscasts, along with the 5 & 10 weekend newscasts will remain. Around 20 people were laid off.
And yet, WEAR in Pensacola is seemingly unscathed, with no changes on the horizon.
Sad, sad day in Mobile and for any Sinclair station that has gone through this, or is about to go through this.
And as a sidenote, the Lagniappe (where the story came from) is now the only newspaper in Mobile (that still prints one). They have a reverse paywall where the print paper is FREE while the website costs $$$ to access.) The former "newspaper" AL.com ceased printing this past February, but they've been irrelevant since they Tegna-fied themselves a decade ago like most of the other Advance papers. The news void in Alabama continues to grow.....
They probably would have sold it but "Community News Media" or whichever of the ten million interrelated dumb company names they'll use that all lead back to you know who they are, have other things they have to deal with.
All this cutting they're doing and the only thing they were willing to give up was KBSI.
Honestly, WPMI, as well as WPGH, WHP, WXLV, KDSM, everything in Oklahoma and Arkansas, and WUTV would have been the NEXT stations I'd have sent off elsewhere.

Roland Martin = Armstrong Williams.
I'm surprised that he somehow wasn't gifted money to buy WUSA and WXIA........

Exactly. Conflicts are conflicts. Sinclair tried doing this with Tribune and got dragged tremendously, so why should Soo Kim be treated any differently in this bad faith of a deal he's trying to pull off?
I'm gonna even do a "What should have happened" in speculatron

Is he hoping for it to fail so he can litigate and cry that the system is prejudiced against him
You know, I get those vibes myself. And the thing is, this is setting a dangerous precedent if that is indeed the case.
All the man had to do was sell or even TRADE stations and this would have all been settled.

New from the Fox First Run Test Lab: Who The Bleep Is That?, from TMZ. Four-week run in twelve markets starting Monday.
The "three and a half" Nexstar stations in Shreveport (counting KPXJ, since it's affiliated with the CW, although they're not legally or otherwise affiliated with Nexstar in any way, don't come for me
) definitely have room for this if it goes forward.
Same with KCWX and "CW35".

TEGNA has one class of stock, no controlling shareholder, and is much easier to push around. Gray is protected from a takeover by the way its stock is structured, Hearst is a huge private company and doesn't have to sell if they don't want to, and Nexstar is probably in too strong a position to be bullied into selling right now.
I wasn't referring to Kim. I was referring to Roland Martin.

As a sidebar: Remember when I posted about Roland Martin's interview with Soo Kim a few weeks back?
It seems that Roland had more than a journalistic interest. He's advocating for the deal to get FCC-approved because there's a lot at stake for him and, in his words, all POC-owned media concerns.
Okay, but he could have struck this deal with any other group.
Why does he have to do it with Tegna?? Why couldn't he do it with Gray?? Nexstar? Hearst??? Or one of the network groups???
Honestly, I never thought I'd see the day when I would call someone dumber than Chris Ripley and David Smith but here we go. I thought Soo Kim would at least have the sense God gave a fireant. Evidently not. It's so ridiculous until I have to just laugh.
