oklahomanewsman 210 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 If the FCC changes the rules for Sinclair those same rule changes apply to other station groups too... Just sayin' before we head down the "CONFLICTS!!!!!!!!!!!11!" path yet again. The ONLY thing I've heard so far from the FCC regarding ownership is the possibility of a repeal of owning Newspapers and Televsion stations in a single market (which has been in effect since 1975)... for now! And what I mean by "for now" I mean the FCC may change ownership rules (that includes raising the cap) and they haven't even started reviewing the national ownership cap as of yet. Stay tuned y'all that's all I have to say about this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Muck 4164 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Quick reminder, Nexstar owns WFLA. So, if there's a Nexstar-Tegna Merger happening (In which I don't see it happening) Nexstar will have to sell 'FLA to another broadcast group. Nah, if NexTEGNAr happens, they'll jettison WTSP as soon as possible if they are told to do so. Nexstar and Tegna have conflicts in Tampa, Portland(OR), Norfolk/Virginia Beach, Buffalo, Little Rock, Grand Rapids/Kalamazoo, Abilene, Knoxville, Austin, Tyler, Waco, and San Angelo. Would a combined company be allowed to keep both WHAG and WUSA? Also are their enough stations in Phoenix for a duopoly between KPNX and KASW? Belo-Gannett tried to use SagermoreHill to create a STL duopoly with KSDK-KMOV and a triopoly in Phoenix with KTVK-KASW-KPHX. There is no doubt in my mind that shells will be used to couch conflicts, and this corrupt FCC will totally look the other way. Count on it.

SagamoreHill was assigned to acquire KASW after Sander spun-off KTVK & KMOV to Meredith (KASW would eventually go to Nexstar). SagamoreHill had nothing to do with St. Louis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SagamoreHill had nothing to do with St. Louis. Crap. I got the names confused. Still, then-Gannett tried the shell game until the Obama administration's DOJ rejected it resoundingly. Expect NexsTEGNAr to do everything possible to skirt any existing regs, retain almost every single station, and for these crooks to sit back and let it happen. Mat the odds be ever in your favor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevCor 344 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 The spin-off of Cars.com is completed. Dave Lougee replaces the retired Gracia Martore as President & CEO of Tegna. Seems to me that with that management change and spinoff, they eliminated are trying to eliminate the "digital" brands they got stuck with in the TEGNA/Gannett spinoff and go straight media. All thats left of the TEGNA Digital (outside of their advertising subs) is CareerBuilder, which they'd be best to get rid of before the Tribune-Sinclair deal becomes final. (Tribune & McClatchy are 1/3 owners with TEGNA). That same fact also bodes well if Nexstar really is trying to buy them. Becoming pure media makes them prime bait for an M&A.

CircleSeven 1944 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 So the Tegna departures just keeps on rolling. Looks like Vanessa Ruiz is not the only one who's leaving KPNX. Scott from FTVLive stated that Investigative reporter Wendy Halloran, Meteorologist Matt Pace, and a producer who've worked at channel 12 for five years also gotten the boot. But the station has hired former KGTV personality Kristen Keogh as their new weather anchor/general assignment reporter. Also Kim Christiansen will replace Adele Arakawa at KUSA's 10pm broadcast when Adele retires. The date of Adele's departure have not been announced yet.

Sad, especially the fact that KUSA has had Adele for many years. When Tegna was Gannett, they were much better. They were a nimble company that cared about what they had been doing. Today, Tegna is nimble and creative, but sometimes they're bad. Chances are Tegna will hire KPNX a younger, cheaper investigative reporter and a producer who isn't so smart. Then people might end up watching more investigative reports on 15 and 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
