Let me guess, anchors give a few words with video, no in-depth coverage.

Extremely disappointing decision since it's a Fox O&O. If more stations including O&Os join in eliminating the sports department, who knows what they could do...

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/articles/kelly-clarkson-tormented-talk-show-133000022.html Kelly Clarkson will reportedly leaver her talk show in 2026. If so that's a shame. She was one of the better daytime hosts. I really enjoy her and Sherri, Jennifer Hudson is okay too.

Paxton, who owns WPSD, would be a good choice for WEVV. WEVV has had poor ownership going back for years. Paxton could save that station from the mess it's become.

Wild that an O&O in such a major pro (and college) sports town would cut the entire department.

CHSN will be available for Xfinity Ultimate TV tier customers on Friday. https://chicago.suntimes.com/sports-media/2025/06/05/chicago-sports-network-comcast-xfinity-cable-friday-white-sox-bulls-blackhawks-marquee-sports-network-cubs

As I understand it, a local firm is interested in WSIL. Might they pull a Deltavision (or whoever the company is that bought WABG and others) and buy a bit more as well?? Indiana comes to mind. And possibly Wisconsin and WJRT.

And I don't think Sinclair can buy anyway because of the troubles Sinclair had with the FCC regarding the Tribune deal. Speaking of wish, I wish Tribune was still around.

Yes, I agree. Everyone else other than Coastal is better in this case. Even Sinclair could be a better choice.

Cheap and safe promotion. They will continue to be an also ran in the mornings.

Oof. I'd rather see anyone else buy them as opposed to Coastal (former Coastal Employee. I can make a primetime special on how big of a jerk the owner is.) Anyone else would be an upgrade (Including Scripps, Sinclair, and TEGNA)

Better Gray buys them than Coastal, who is the only other plausible buyer. Not even Marquee would waste money on these clunkers.

My 2 cents on the issue about Allen Media.... I don't think Gray Media is going to aquire them. Gray already had other things to do, like make WANF independent, for them to care about what Allen Media is doing. And with the current FCC rules in place, they can't own some of the stations, and they definitely can't place the Allen stations programming on a Gray Media station and sell them. Plus, Allen has yet to find a buyer for their stations. Saying Gray Media will just buy Allen Media sounds a little childish in my opinion.

I wouldn't say that MSNBC's departure will open up a lot of studio space. It will open one major studio - Studio 3A. They will have more office space opening up than studio space.

It absolutely has. Those stations are permabroken and destined to be rumps of their former Gray competition. No one else is going to waste their money on properties Byron Allen squandered.

Here is the closing moments of Telemundo 47's final broadcast from Fort Lee, NJ, including farewell messages from staff

Canada After 20 years of delivering the morning news on CBC Newsworld/CBC News Network, Heather Hiscox has decided to retire. There'll be a cross-country road trip for CBC Morning Live during the summer before she finishes her run on November 6th, exactly 20 years after she began her run. https://www.cbc.ca/news/heather-hiscox-leaving-cbc-news-1.7551841

Are you sure it's gotten that bad?

Why would Hearst—or any group not named Gray—waste money like that? Allen destroyed those stations to the point where any buyer is going to have to burn money just to get them back up to par. Talk about a money pit. The only obvious outcome is Gray buying the OW stations (along with the rest of the Allen stations) and they become shells of WSAW and WMTV. They all qualify for failed station waivers.

No they wouldn't be satellites, they would help WISN bolster Wisconsin coverage. Plus, Hearst would be smart to bring them all back to their own independence (that's IF Hearst were to acquire them, not saying it WILL acquire them).

For the next two days before his retirement from WTHR, Chuck Lofton will be delivering the weather... from the Chuck Lofton Studio as WTHR has commenced as of today. Chuck retires on Friday after a 40-year run that also has included gifted signed jerseys from the Colts (signed by the late Jim Irsay), Pacers (signed by Tyrese Haliburton), and Fever (signed by Caitlin Clark) plus an invitation to join the Pacers' upcoming (maybe) Championship Parade. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKfkITbvoj4/?igsh=MWN0a3RreGxxbm9hNw==

So they can all run MeTV off the bird? Why would Hearst waste their time with the beyond-broken OW stations? They don't need full-power satellites for WISN, which is all they would be.
