Eat News 4738 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 The Department of Justice has filed suit to block Tribune Publishing for acquiring the newspapers owned by Freedom Communications. Tribune Publishing owns the LA Times while Freedom owns Orange County Register & Riverside County Press-Enterprise. Tribune recently won (at a bankruptcy auction) to acquire the remaining assets of Freedom early Thursday Morning, when the DOJ filed suit hours later. The DOJ fear that should the deal go through, Tribune would have a monopoly in print media in the OC & in Riverside. Tribune stated that it will defend the legality of the sale. Freedom previously own several television stations prior to the end of 2011, when it sold its broadcasting arm to Sinclair. God forbid Tribune gets a monopoly on something nobody reads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius22 120 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 CBS 13 News at 6:30 on CW 31 with Adrienne Moore and Dave Baker. This is a regular newscast, not just a temporary thing. KOVR 13 already does 11:00pm news for KMAX 31. It's Dave Bender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasTVNews 1366 Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 It looks like WKBW's Keith Radford isn't going anywhere anytime soon, its because the Buffalo's ABC affiliate has extended his contract. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/it-looks-like-this-buffalo-anchor-is-getting-a-new-contract/166436 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the audience find their way (and where MeTV Boston is) and give it a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkolsen 1675 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Surprising to see a station as strong as WCVB make such a knee-jerk decision. I will add that I'm surprised they did not have a 10pm newscast long before this. Most Hearst stations have had them for ages either on their sister station or subchannel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrabbleship 427 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Surprising to see a station as strong as WCVB make such a knee-jerk decision. The newscast should have been 30 minutes from the start. In a market which already has 3 stations on for a full hour at 10 (plus WBIN), a half hour newscast has its advantages. Also, being on a subchannel has its disadvantages especially in terms of being less visible and lack of carriage on satellite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRolyPoly 1844 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Is it too much to hope they'll get the WTTV graphics? As I predicted before... I have a feeling they will go the WREG way and use WREG graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NewsHound Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 As I predicted before... I have a feeling they will go the WREG way and use WREG graphics. Isn't it the same package though but with more red than orange? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 1844 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Isn't it the same package though but with more red than orange? Yes and without the CBS logo on it, since WREG uses its "3" and not the CBS eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven 1944 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 The Department of Justice has filed suit to block Tribune Publishing for acquiring the newspapers owned by Freedom Communications. So a big follow-up. Since the Feds were recently granted the its request to block the sale, Freedom changed course and accepted a $52M bid from runner-up bidder Digital First Media. The bankrupt court approved that sale on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TVNewsLover 727 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 how come it is just now coming out? It's not. It was out last year. I see you got it from the "On the Move 3/22/16" post. The "On the Move" post tend to sometimes have months old info on there, similar to FTVLive's "Changing Jobs". They must be press releases that are send out by agents on a quarterly basis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
