  1. From the PDF listed above: This section caught my eye. It seems that this is not the the beginning of the end for sidecar companies. This situation seems to have been the FCC closing a loophole from when Nexstar purchased Tribune, divested to Scripps, and the repurchased via Mission.
  2. The link you posted was broken, at least for me. if anyone has the same problem, I found the article after a bit of digging. Next tv probably updated the article (1.8M to 1.2M) https://www.nexttv.com/news/fcc-orders-mission-to-sell-wpix-fines-nexstar-dollar12-million
  3. Rhetorical question: Why am I simultaneously surprised and not surprised about this?
  4. So will Bally Sports be involved with the MLB this year? I know that they are out of the southwest.
  5. From experience living in the south, and the dominance of the SEC, this could certainly hurt viewership on Saturdays. As SEC college football is king in the south. Also, there is a thin possibility that it could help in markets like Atlanta, Austin, Charlotte and Nashville due to the amount of people that are transplants from historical BIG10 territory (Atlanta has a lot from rust belt, Charlotte and Nashville is more from across the country).
  6. Its been mentioned, just not directly, you think we would not notice that! You might have scrolled right past it, happens to us all. The difference between the top live bug and the L3s, makes me wonder if there going to roll out a new (or refreshed) graphics package. I do not when they last got a graphics refresh, would someone be able to tell enlighten us on that?
  7. I was interviewed for one of WUPA's "newscasts" back in December of 2022, with one of their only MMJs. Watched the newscast that evening to see what was what and definitely disappointed. Wasn't surprised, I didn't even know what the local CW affiliate was at the time until that morning, let alone that they had a newscast. I will definitely agree that they were produced like "Spectrum News 1".
  8. Second that, especially with the offer he made in the fall(?).
  9. You can partially give the New World-FOX partnership/merger the blame for all of this too. Additionally, before WAGA was bought by/transferred to FOX in the 1994-96 realignment, it was arguably one of their stronger affiliates. Notably it is also the only station in Atlanta that currently has a chance at surpassing the almighty WSB-TV. Same goes for the prior affiliates in Detroit, Milwaukee, etc. New World must have run their stations well because the majority of them continue to maintain strong viewership. This time period also coincides with when CBS began to see declining ratings as a whole. Also during realignment CBS had to affiliate with small unheard of channels with relatively high channel numbers, and in many cases the news room was built from scratch.
  10. A notable exception is CBS owned KDKA in Pittsburgh, although a lot of it is historical preference hanging on tight.
  11. I was nervous when she said "now some personal news," I thought she was leaving NBC News entirely. Glad to here she is commiting to the successful 'noon'-ish newscast. Her announcement:
  12. Unlikely, as long as football exists there will be people celebrating. Besides, from what I understand the incident last week in Kansas City was born out an argument gone to far.
  13. WEEK made the switch at 5pm today
  14. WAFF did the same for the few months prior the their switch to GrayONE in early December. That doesn't not make sense....
  15. So does this mean that they are effectively 'shutting down' indefinitely?
