  1. Huh, I didn't know that. I guess I was off. Update: The WMEU-CD simulcast is still there.
  2. In Chicago, WMEU-CD has an UHF simulcast of WBBM because of the fact CBS knows that some areas of Chicago wasn't able to get the VHF signal.
  3. Yea, how much times will they have to mess up their TV stations before the FCC catches the idea? I mean, ending news departments, making KTUL and KOKH's newscast basically almost the same thing. Yet 'PIX is the problem? The Federal Communications Commission, they JUST DELETED LOCAL NEWS at WNWO in Toledo and STILL did nothing about KDNL, is you not understanding what's going on?
  4. XD Imagine that, "This is The CW Detroit on Channel 4.5" In this case, They can move the classic programs down but NBC, Weigel, and Byron gonna get mad at WDIV, XD Oh also, WADL is less likely to even get The CW now, XD
  5. They're paying the competition for an subchannel XD Poor WPVI, despite the first place rating, people in Philly can't get the station because it's an VHF digital station (on Ch. 6) while it's competitors are Digital UHF stations (Virtual Channels don't particularly count) If Disney just putting an translator on Philly, that'll be better.
  6. Better yet, just return the license to the FCC and sell the existing programs to WMYD and the E. W. Scripps Company/Scripps Howard Broadcasting. (Does LITERALLY anyone call Scripps by Scripps Howard anymore?) Wait an minute, if WMYD grabs MyNetworkTV, they technically got their former pre-2021 but post-2006 affiliation back. Case solved. (Except it won't help since it has an affiliation with MyNetworkTV but let WJBK grab it, it's Fox Owned anyway.)
  7. $75 DOLLARS?! XD But no seriously, despite all the things there, I'm still thinking WDIV is gonna have the CW Affiliation. One way or another. Also, this is just stupid in its self. Like who would NOT get the facilities? Mission Broadcasting is in some trouble on its own. Update: According to the document, "We further condition our approval of the Application by limiting Nexstar's provision of programming on WADL to no more than 15% of the total programming time aired on the Station, including through any affiliation with The CW Television Network, NewsNation, or any other programming source that is majority-owned or controlled by Nexstar of its affiliates." Yea, WADL is going to be an MyNetworkTV station for the mean time and WDIV gonna grab The CW for Detroit.
  8. Thank God that mostly (See KSHB) didn't happen in Kansas City. Yea, I agree. They could call it 7 News. I mean, come on, it's an DETROIT station.
  9. Huh, so I realized that some people here got confused and that's okay. That was an long reply I said but want I basically said was that it didn't make sense that the FCC is focused a lot on WPIX. I hope this clears it up, I assume.
  10. TL:DR: We ain't in the 1960s anymore Y'all. New York isn't in flames because WPIX isnt sold off yet. Okay, so, I mentioned the Nexstar WPIX type of controversy on April 1st (and no, what I said wasn't a joke) The FCC focusing on WPIX, a station which is only in the crosshair because of an LMA with Nexstar and not focusing on, well, I don't know... LOCAL news being taking AWAY in some rural areas (Wyoming) makes it looks like the broadcasting and ESPECIALLY the Television Broadcasting world seems to be semi-stuck in 1964. its like the ONLY Nexstar can do is to CANCEL the news department and sell it off to Sinclair and not compete in the market. Like, I've heard good stuff about KMBC's owners but not about WDAF? Like, should I explain that KMBC back in the day REMOVED an anchor because of her age in the 1980s under Metromedia ownership, then she sued Channel 9 only to lose after winning once because it's previous ownership was acquired by News Corp.? I said this on the same day: "Oh yea, since everybody is forgetting this, if Nexstar and/or Mission Broadcasting doesn't want to sell WPIX, they can sell any other stations to meet the cap/quota on Television stations." I do think Nexstar knew about this and sold off WJMN to Sullivan's Landing LLC to NOT get in anymore trouble. (Like if that helped). Sometimes, the Broadcasting Universe makes me confused. I'm NOT saying Nexstar is doing an good job, nor is the FCC but focusing on other problems like WPIX's ownership and not on how local news may be affected negatively be ownership changes are stuff that get me confused. As what Megatron did say, it's not the 60s hence why I said that time period. WLBT ain't under investigation in 2024 so why should any one else now? BTW, the length is a bit too much buti just want to say that really I still don't understand.
  11. The thing is that WPLG is no longer owned by Graham Media and its now owned by Berkshire Hathaway since 2014 but Graham does help WPLG with some stuff but it's not an LMA or a JSA. That and also because they no news for WSFL doesn't make it better. Also going back to The Strait* A.K.A. Detroit, Michigan, Adell already has issues with The CW, Nexstar/Mission and The CW (Check September–November 2023) so there's no way that the CW is EVER in the near future gonna end up on Ch. 38. It's gonna end up on Ch. 4 on an subchannel; and forget about WJBK. That Fox O&O Affiliate is NEVER gonna get the CW, so is any of the Canadian stations. (CBET and CHWI) (*In French, Détroit means Strait and the Detroit is named that because the city was situated on an pretty narrow passage of water connecting St. Clair River, Lake St. Clair and the Detroit River, all in Michigan.)
  12. I don't think so, but my resolution? An translator for WPVI.
