KFCO was acquired April 5, 2024 by Piller of Fire International from Max Media & switched it's branding from FLO 107.1 to Kingdom 107.1.

Good, WZVN had been using there old package for quite some time.

Reporter Reha Jah formerly of KXRM FOX21 NEWS / KXTU SoCo CW has moved north to Denver and is now a reporter for Denver duopoly KUSA--9NEWS NBC / KTVD--Channel 20. Her first day on air was today 3/29.

A lot of you will disagree with me on this but, I think Scripps should have right of first refusal at WPIX seeing how they once owned it. Or better yet, shake down mission broadcasting & force mission into being it's own company (it will never happen), prohibit Nexstar from doing ANYTHING for Mission stations nationwide (Websites, ad sales, ect). I'm happy that the FCC is finally taking some action against Nexstar & Mission.

Sounds like she will be taking the weekend position for now. I know KMGH / KCDO had a weekend opening for sometime on the scrips employment page. Good for her!!!!!

Comcast no longer carries KPJR-TV here in Denver (Greeley) on it's systems, according to the Channel finder. In northeast Colorado it is over the air only on 38.2, I have never been able to receive 38.1 or 38.2 where I live in Denver County, there transmitter is 38.8 miles northeast of me. I don't see Dr. Phil's cable network surviving, tbh...

CNBC is reporting this evening that ESPN, FOX & Warner Brothers/Discovery are going to launch a yet to be named streaming service for sports, don't know much more than that yet. (Notably absent from this are Comcast's NBC Universal & Capital Amusements CBS). https://www.cnbc.com/2024/02/06/espn-fox-and-warner-bros-discovery-to-launch-joint-sports-streaming-platform-this-year.html

White Knight Broadcasting's 2 stations remain dark on Dish, according to Dish Network. They were pulled the same day as the mission broadcasting stations. Friday January 6, 2023. It must suck to be White Knight.

KDVR / KFCT (FOX31) & KWGN (Colorado's Own Channel 2) employees that work the combined assignment desk & the Nexstar master control hub for a dozen Nexstar TV stations across the country intend to unionize according to an article posted on the station's website yesterday. If this comes to pass they would be the 2nd & 3rd Denver TV stations to Unionize after KCNC "CBS NEWS Colorado" went union in late 1995 after being acquired by Group W/CBS. I also have this up on my blog about Denver TV stations that can be found in my profile. Article here:https://kdvr.com/news/local/nexstar-workers-in-denver-declare-intent-to-unionize/

WBBH has updated it's website (NBC-2.COM) to the Hearst web platform as of today & Hearst Managed--WZVN has followed suite (ABC-7.COM). Both stations dropped the Franke Media powered websites, that had been in use since 2016.

It Seems odd, but what do i know. KKCO has updated it's logo without the NBC Peacock,This is the vertical logo, they have a horizontal logo but I can't capture it.

So has Tegna & DirecTV reached a deal? or have they extended the current agreement, because as of 6:42PM MST KUSA & KTVD are still available. Anyone know??

The 4 O'clock newscast is being done from the stations front lobby. As seen below on the left. We'll see about the 5PM & 6PM/"NEXT" broadcasts. Does anyone know if they are doing maintenance or updating things in studio "A"? The NOON newscast was in studio "A" this afternoon.

At 5:50 PM MDT / 7:50 PM EDT DirecTV has activated the "HD SEVERE WEATHER CHANNEL" & The "SEVERE WEATHER MIX CHANNEL".. Also MYFOXHURRICANE.COM, NBC-2.COM, & FOX13NEWS.COM have live streams going at there respective websites.

Don't know if other Tegna NBC stations are doing this or not, but KUSA is copying the TODAY Show & NBC NIGHTLY NEWS, with a coutdown clock during the first commercial break during the10PM newscast. (It might also be on KTVD but have not watched the 9pm newscast.) They started this Monday 8/13/23..
