When Hearst moved into the Rogers facility they tried continuing broadcasting from Fort Smith and Rogers (once they moved out of the Fayetteville space), but that did not last long. I figure Tribune will phase out newscasts from Fort Smith once the new facility is complete and staff can get moved to the area. And it appears you were right. Correct me if I’m wrong, butI don’t think KFSM has any bureau in Ft. Smith anymore, as they have appeared to have completely moved out of the old Carnegie library building. Although Wikipedia says there’s still a newsroom there, Wikipedia isn’t always reliable. They say there’s also bureaus in Ft. Smith for KNWA/KFTA as well but they clearly left the old studios on Kelly Hwy a long time ago as it’s now some other business. There’s no address for KNWA/KFTA listed for the River Valley area other than a possible newsroom for KFTA in Van Buren. Quite frankly I don’t know why they keep the call letters KFSM or why the station is still licensed to Fort Smith? I don’t understand why KHOG is still a satellite station of KHBS, or why the name of the TV market says Ft. Smith first when Fayetteville outgrew Ft. Smith to become the state’s second largest city awhile back. The population of the NWA metro (population 560,709 as of 2021) has also long outgrown Ft. Smith’s metro (which is still below 300k). Fayetteville is on the verge of becoming the second city in the state to have a 100k population. The NWA metro now comes in second to Little Rock in practically everything but media. NWA has the only other minor league baseball team in the state, the only other children’s hospital campus, a national airport, etc.. It has the U of A Main campus, the Razorbacks, its the home to three Fortune 500 companies. I’m not bashing Ft. Smith. It’s a nice city, but it’s not NWA by a long shot. When I first moved to NWA in 1995, Ft. Smith was larger in both city and metro, and I understood why Ft. Smith had the upper hand in the media market, but times have greatly changed in nearly 30 years. Ft. Smith either needs to become its own market, or Ft. Smith should be made second. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrschimpf 1527 Posted Saturday at 12:40 AM Share Posted Saturday at 12:40 AM Considering WLBT's Civil Rights Era history of being unapologetically racist to the point of FCC license revocation threats and an entire housecleaning of management...no sympathy for Barbie here. If this is some other station and an outlier incident, a warning would be fine, but she should know both her station's turbulent history and her own HR issues of the past. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are licensed to Fort Smith because the FCC assigned them that city of license, and they cover that city. That is all that matters. 2) San Jose is has a bigger population than San Francisco, yet SF is listed first. Virginia Beach has a bigger population than Norfolk, yet Norfolk is listed first. Scranton has a bigger population than Wilkes-Barre, yet Wilkes-Barre is listed first. It's not a big deal. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fort Smith and NWA are two different metros. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cg41386 99 Posted yesterday at 03:35 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:35 PM What difference does that make? I'm talking about TV markets, not metros. Anyway, this is getting off-topic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
