Samantha 2876 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 So it's a TV station and a Church too? I have no idea. It could also have been promotion if they had their services televised on one of the KECY subs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1944 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Or the squarest "O" I've seen in a Fox logo. Someone handdrew that logo. That "9" don't even look right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eat News 4738 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 You should see the Dairy Queen on S.4th Ave. So run down, it looked like something straight out of the 1970s. Everything from the building/windows/screens, very outdated...and dirty. The place looked like it was converted from someone's house. Anyways, I'm curious to know what Entravision plans to do with the Univision newscasts for Palm Springs. Will they still pipe in their regional newscasts to the area or will they have the resources to expand both news departments? I harken back to the KMIR Ron Fortner days.... It was a bad time.. Is Zapalla still there??...Because I sure as hell cannot figure that one out. I was in the Westfield Palm Desert mall a few months ago and there was a giant hanging KMIR News banner in the center court. The mall of course is half empty ...and dying. I honestly like the KESQ /NPG product most the time. The valley is a feisty little market, and KMIR is much, much better then the old days.

Graham Ledger anchored at KECY -9 in 1985/86...back when it was a CBS affil. It was a stand alone operation downtown El Centro, but with a Yuma Bureau. That place was so cheap the engineers couldn't afford duct tape...so they used masking tape for all repairs. yes... Hell Centro is 10 times worse than Yuma is.

Eat News 4738 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 It could qualify as a failing station, right? Really good question you ask... I wonder if one of our resident FCC "reg-heads" could explain the failing station waiver, and what if any actual proof is required in the filing? Just what is considered to be "failing"?

CalItalian2 163 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Nothing will change. Entravision has been involved in English language radio and tv stations for a long time. One of my best friends programmed one of their English language radio stations. They're happy to expand their portfolio with English language stations.

I wonder if one of our resident FCC "reg-heads" could explain the failing station waiver, and what if any actual proof is required in the filing? Just what is considered to be "failing"? Well... these were the criteria under which Blackhawk (KYMA) bought KSWT and which make a good comparison case for the four points of an FSW... 1. Poor audience ratings (4% or fewer share for an entire broadcast day) for one of the stations in the proposed duopoly 2. Poor financial condition (negative cash flow) of one of the stations 3. Blackhawk was "the only reasonable candidate willing and able to acquire and operate KSWT, and a sale to an out-of-market buyer or a buyer who is willing to acquire only one station in the market would result in an artificially depressed price" 4. Permits the facilitation of continued local television service where it might not otherwise exist (production of public interest benefits) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In relation to this, does anyone think some other markets may be next? I.e. Entravision buying english-language stations just to diversify their portfolio. It's a huge jump to assume they'd be buying in hypothetical conflict markets but it would not surprise me for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a huge jump to assume they'd be buying in hypothetical conflict markets but it would not surprise me for some reason. I think only if Entravision has a radio and TV presence. Entravision also owns two radio stations in Palm Springs. I mean, sure they have KFXV and KXOF (and they also operate KCBA under JSA), a couple of CW affiliates (notably Reno), XHDTV and WJAL, but this is their first Big 3 station.

Alternately, In cities where they only have a radio presence, they could maybe branch out into TV there or even in markets where only Telemundo has an affiliate (i.e. New Orleans), Entravision could buy a big 4 station (and possibly a duopoly partner) and keep the English network on analog and add Univision to a dot 2. In addition to that, I see no reason why Entravision can't buy standalone CW/MNT or even Fox stations in markets where they have Univsion stations (and even shared services agreements with the Unimas O&Os). A CW/MNT/Fox affiliate owned by Entravision in tandem with a Univision station could target non-Spanish speaking Hispanics in the newscasts and provide a fresh new option to others as well, at least in the English-speaking community.

Kinda interesting how a network owns a piece of a group that has not only in the past, operated affiliates of Telemundo, Mundomax and currently has a few Azteca affiliates but also a few English-language stations as well (but Univision themselves has been in English for quite some time on KUVI, the Katz subchannels, Fusion etc.) so you never know. I still stand by my statement that English/Spanish combinations will become even more commonplace in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
