  1. I think an ideal and best fit situation would have been Morgan Murphy. I do wonder how much interest there really was for the stations for them to sell out to Coastal.
  2. That’s exactly what I was thinking
  3. God Speed to the staff https://www.kvrr.com/2023/12/01/coastal-television-reaches-agreement-to-acquire-red-river-broadcast/
  4. KCTV is now using First Warn 5 Weather branding as of yesterday
  5. The deal has fallen through https://inforum.com/business/forum-communications-planned-purchase-of-kvrr-tv-in-fargo-kqds-tv-in-duluth-falls-through?fbclid=IwAR1FO4E8VRwnFGHpD8Itig8SzTiklH6PbJ9CNEpLWABHheHB6-H-2Hbl9tI_aem_th_AYT-VNOjffSwi2wh6P6nXaKGKwZCtz0MhX8d18RDM__eZybQgMnwawLbf-ygLk0qtww&mibextid=Zxz2cZ
  6. Forum Communications to purchase KWSD in Sioux Falls from JF Broadcasting and intend to launch local news casts. KNBN (Rapid City) does not seem to be included in the agreement. https://www.dglobe.com/news/local/globe-parent-company-forum-communications-expands-in-sioux-falls I feel like they missed out on getting KTTW when they had the Fox affiliation and building out a news operation.
  7. KULR 8 in Billings and the ABC Montana cluster is now using the new branding/music as well.
  8. Chris Cuomo just announced on Dan's show (as we suspected) is Joining NewsNation this fall with a primetime show
  9. KMBC schedule change for September 10am The View 11am GMA3 12pm KMBC News at noon also Kelly is moving to Ellen’s old spot at 3pm
  10. https://www.kvrr.com/2022/02/08/fargo-tv-pioneer-entertainment-tonight-co-creator-dies/?fbclid=IwAR2D2ll-bu1iGa-Di7nZ-uMww_95ImvFM7wIQIO-vx2XAp7YxVmhl_4JQBs
  11. Today is the last day for KCTV meteorologist Brett Anthony who is leaving to become Chief Meteorologist at KYTX. Brett previously worked at KSHB and at KJRH in Tulsa before returning to Kansas City.
  12. KMBC will launch a hour long Noon newscast that will air on KCWE on Sept. 21st competing against FOX4 and KCTV5. Steve Wilkos moves to the 10am slot, Judge Jerry is the lead in.
  13. KCTV5 has pulled the plug on BetterKC (KC no longer has a Pay-for-play Lifestyle show) and debuted a 9am hour of KCTV5 News today. I’ve been watching this and it is a nice alternative to not having to listen to Mark Alford on Fox4.
  14. Gray's last ditch attempt for the KCPM license. http://www.northpine.com/blog/2020/05/04/gray-tv-pledges-pandemic-programming-if-fcc-grants-rare-exception-to-restore-sell-grand-forks-license/
  15. The KYUR cluster in Alaska is now "NewsNet Alaska" more news more often but only at 9 and 10 oy vey, nice graphics tho
  16. Not sure if it was mentioned but I noticed KSHB has started a 3pm newscast. Anchored by Kevin Holmes and Cynthia Newsome. I’m guessing it’s either corona related or just a lack of syndicated programming
  17. former WDAZ anchor and current WDAY reporter Matt Henson was charged with Domestic Assault https://www.inforum.com/news/crime-and-courts/4990794-WDAY-reporter-charged-with-domestic-assault
  18. Maybe someone could clarify for me., As part of the agreement for acquisition of KCPM it can not become a top 4 station since KVLY is one, so with that logic would it be possible for it to take the CBS affiliation or could it if it was a sub channel of 27? or could it do CW on 27.1 and CBS on 27.2 since the CW is the lower rated network and not on a full power stick?
  19. Well there is the money to buy WISH
  20. The KX stations in ND have reverted back to their pre-Nexstar domain KXnet.com, myNDnow sounded more like it belonged to a my network tv station.
  21. KVLY/KXJB General Manager and VP Jim Wareham has passed, he was 67
