effseesee 101 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 On 9/4/2021 at 1:08 AM, CircleSeven said: They going to say anything to not pay this fine. But if they didn't do anything wrong, why did they later move the CBS over to the LP (K22HN) & have it on the subchannel on KTUU? They could have done this in the first place. It'll be interesting to see whether this $500K+ will stand. We'll see what happens...... I believe the response says that Gray moved CBS to the LD after meeting with FCC staff. It’s close to guaranteed that Gray won’t pay the $500K fine. This will eventually end up in a federal courtroom, where the FCC has a terrible track record. Gray will end up paying nothing or a tiny fraction of the original fined amount. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrschimpf 1298 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 As we discussed the Gray fine...GCI was coming close to their 'drop dead' date of September 3 to light up KTVA again or have the license auto-cancelled. They did; although it's not noted on the network's affiliates list, 11.1 is currently running Rewind TV to keep the license going. Whether this is just for a week to warehouse the license, or just until the sale goes through eventually, is not known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1700 Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 (edited) Big Follow-Up. The FCC is following through with the $518,283K fine. Gray said it will appeal through the courts. Here's the forfeiture paper. Edited November 1 by CircleSeven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megatron81 117 Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 Does that mean Gray can't have CBS in Anchorage anymore and they have to sell it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FCC ordered Gray to just pay that fine. No divestitures. Edited November 7 by CircleSeven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
