Until they find a buyer willing to pay what Marks think the stations are worth. Unfortunately for Marks though, the two TV stations are practically worthless.

Salt Lake City is in the running for an NHL team. I could see Gray building out the station and then bidding for the rights to the games.

Me TV at #21 was pretty surprising to me but then then you look at the 18-49 numbers below (and the lack of Me TV) and realize that more than 80% of their audience is over 50 years old.

They will go after LPTV and subchannels yet say nothing about the "sidecar" loop hole.

I wonder how long until the local tv stations end up like the newspapers did with those vulture companies that came in and buy the papers, sell off the real estate, sell off anything else of value, cut the staff to the bone, replace most of the articles with copy and paste AP stories, don't make any effort to improve the product and simply ride out subscriptions until there are none. Costal Television sounds pretty close to this but it can and will get a lot worse.

Their news packages are very odd. I would never watch a newscast that was a string of these packages together spliced with Scripps national stories.

His shows are junk but I have to admire what he has built from those shows. Allen made some of the cheapest shows he could make, package them up, and gave them to stations to air anytime the stations pleased. 2AM? No problem. 4AM? Sure. 9AM on a Saturday surrounded by informercials? Yes! A lot of syndicated shows didn't want to be in those ugly time slots so Allen was abled to get his shows shown practically nationwide by accepting those odd times. He saw the need and filled it. But yeah we are still pretty far from Allen being decently respectable.
