SFTV 484 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) 19 minutes ago, Nelson R. said: KRON will probably have to get rid of their 8 and 9pm News unless they can air CW from 7-9pm. WTTA has an 8pm news produced by WALA and Spanish programming from 9-10. Maybe KRON and WTTA could put all that on their .2’s. Or MyNetwork will go to KICU (KTVU Plus) KOFY could’ve waited instead of picking up GritTV im hoping KBCW takes advantage of KRON losing the prime time slot and KBCW will be the KCAL of the Bay Area.

The Frog 392 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 The company’s next distribution challenge comes up in August when Sinclair Broadcast Group’s affiliation agreements are up for renewal. Sinclair has reportedly not been happy with the lack of communication from Nexstar regarding some of its decisions and declined to be interviewed for this story. Another key affiliate, Weigel’s WCIU Chicago, has another year on its affiliation agreement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KICU should’ve really picked up MyNet when Fox made the trade with Cox. KBCW needs to change its call letters now. Is KBAY available?

I suppose WNCN 17.2 could take some of their programming inventory. And WLFL gets MyNet. But Sinclair wouldn’t need both stations. But we’re getting too far into Speculatron territory.

EVVTV12 81 Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 KRON will add a 2pm newscast and will rejoin everyone else at 11pm. Safe to say the 8 and 9 will be axed. https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/kron4-to-become-cw-affiliate-this-fall/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannical bastard 3443 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Should Sinclair drop the CW, they could easily fill the time with TND or one of their diginets. And if Weigel drops WCIU, WGN's the easy choice since primetime doesn't affect their schedule that much. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely, those stations just affiliate with MyNetworkTV or become independent and fill the gaps with extra syndie shows. As for The National Desk, only Pacific and Mountain time zone stations have the option of airing it in prime time by taking the “live” East feed of the show; I don’t doubt Sinclair might attempt to expand the program earlier to act as a optional gap-filler.

mrschimpf 2051 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 It fills two hours and provides a common branding to stations whose creative department simply does not exist any longer and are usually paired with Fox or the CW, or going at it alone. The days of Malrite, Gaylord and Grant's originality are long over. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKA 35 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I’ve noticed the past week or so that KSKN now brands itself on air as “KSKN 22” instead of the “CW 22” moniker they’ve used the past 17 years. Is there trouble in paradise between the network and Tegna over their refusal to air LIV Golf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there trouble in paradise between the network and Tegna over their refusal to air LIV Golf? Tegna's CW agreement runs through the end of August 2026. It does not contain any clauses about removal because the network has bought a station (other affiliation agreements I have read do have such provisions). The CW can only terminate the agreement: If the station's technical parameters change so drastically that "the Affiliate becomes of materially less value to The CW" If the station owner is bankrupt, or if the network is bankrupt In the event of breach of contract If the network announces it is ceasing operations, six months' notice required If the station enters into or terminates an SSA or LMA without network approval I believe it will be three years before KUSI becomes The CW in San Diego, unless the agreement is amended. But you are right to point out that the call letters are newly prominent as of May 24... 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm amazed that Raycom Sports (now part of Gray) will be producing the games. Nexstar and Gray, while two big broadcast companies, are about as far apart as can be when it comes to things like cable, digital and OTT... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
