The last holdout is WFLX (which Scripps actually does the heavy lifting in).

There's technically one holdout left, KNIN, where Scripps also does the heavy lifting, yet, they use the Revrocket platform unlike to other Raycom stations before Gray.

They're probably the only RevRocket holdout, since the other stations that used it were the ones divested to Lockwood, who has since implemented standard websites.

More LP-picking from Gray. 

 

It acquired 17 unbuilt permits from Landover 2, LLC & CTB Spectrum Services Two, LLC for $712K.

WLFM-6 (former Franken-FM at 87.7) in Cleveland has been purchased by Gray.  It will join up with WOIO-19 and WUAB-43.

Hoping they'll turn this into an in-city translator viewers can get, without relying on that problematic VHF signal.

Gray is mandating vaccinations for all new hires. They didn't mention it for existing employees yet. First TV group to do so.

With the delta variant floating around, I'm surprised it took this long for a major media entity to do this. Hopefully, others follow IMO...

Here's a thought...

 

I like the sound of "CBS 6".  It gives them a chance to escape all of the stigma of the years of "19" and their place in the basement.  Since it's a UHF station with the PSIP of 6, it could be a chance of finally rebranding "WOIO".  Almost like WBMA-LP was the source of the programming of ABC 33/40, WOIO's current signal could simply become another repeater of WLFM, just for branding purposes.  WUAB could be as-is, shoehorned onto WOIO's signal with their existing "43" PSIP.  Any other translators would relay like they've always done.

So we now know what they'll be using WLFM-LD for.

 

WOIO will be launching a new Telemundo affiliate for Northeast Ohio with new callsign "WTCL", beginning January 1st.

 

Still hope they can repeat WOIO on a sub (19.10) on that stick for those in-city folk who can't get 19 on RF 10.
