Dear Sinclair, If you are going to submit a multiple ownership exhibit with an application you may want to proof-read it first. Or, hire a better consultant. HINT: WJLP is no longer located in the market. That station "moved" some 2,000+ miles to the east TWO years ago. So, you might be stretching it a bit including it as a voice in the SLC market. Thanks. For what it's worth the voices chart submitted would still contain the same number of voices as KUTF / Daystar was left off. I just get a chuckle that they forgot the station that is the impediment to them mapping the KMYU simulcast on KUTV to 12.1 and added a NYC station in it's place. I think it's safe to say that it will be terminated once the deal closes. The FCC has held the position for quite some time that stations in a single DMA may be commonly owned, without the need for a waiver (satellite or failing station), if their Grade B contours do not overlap From the application: "KMYU(TV) is licensed to St. George, Utah, located in the southwestern corner of Utah, more than 250 miles from Salt Lake City in north-central Utah, home to KUTV(TV) and KJZZ TV. Neither the prior analog Grade B contours nor, as shown in Exhibit 1 hereto, the current digital noise limited contours, of KMYU(TV) overlap the contours of either KUTV(TV) or KJZZ-TV. Because of the lack of signal overlap, the stations can be owned in combination in compliance with the local television ownership rules without the need for a satellite exemption." So, they are fine to own all three stations.

That's been in use on their Facebook page for months, until a few days ago when the image below became their primary profile pic. That said, no matter how flat any of the ABC stations have gone is news graphics or promos, none have abandoned the 2013 ABC disc and a more detailed numeral. I think the blue, white and black '6abc' is their version of the single-color silhouette 'abc7's that have made their way to social media and the apps. Though THIS has popped up in a few places, as well.

I don't blame him. I think Feder's use of the word "fuming" is a little much, as he states he's disappointed. That said, those calling Ron a crybaby and out of touch on Facebook are missing the point. I'm not even talking about Ron's opinion on complimenting another news operation. My beef is with the permission to run the testimonial. They've been running ads like these for several weeks, and I'll bet a lot of money to assume that those people are either A.) told/asked that their quote be used, or B.) are under the impression that emailing their statement directly to the show automatically gives their consent to the crew to use it in the future. Magers' situation doesn't fall under either case. He was neither informed nor asked, and he made this statement in a third party setting. That's where a line was crossed. As a fan of both Ron and the WGN Morning News, my opinion of them hasn't changed. That said, WGN's PR department needs a little ethics training, but I have a feeling that won't happen based on the boss' statement on the matter: "What a nice compliment from a legendary newsman looking back at an award-winning career." Jeff Hoover gets points, though: "Ron - First of all, thanks for your kind words. I'm sorry if no one from our marketing/promotions department reached out to you and asked for your permission. I heard a clip from the podcast and shared it with a few people at the station not ever thinking that someone would turn it into an ad in the newspaper."

Because FOX operates the black helicopters and we don't discuss that here.

We take you back to 1982 where WSOC-TV brings you the "Eyewitness News Hour" with Bill Walker and Doreen Gentzler. You can view the news open from that era at :42 into the video and features an unknown news theme. The entry form submitted by WSOC-TV for entry into the Peabody Awards state: "We are submitting this particular program as an example of coverage of spot news and national news on a local level. The spot news developed during the run of the program: a toxic chemical fire had started across the street from the television station shortly prior to the start of the newscast. As the fire and the newscast progressed, a cloud of toxic fumes wafted over the station building, causing breathing problems for the population in the area. The local disaster officials advised evacuating the building, and we decided to move the television newscast outside the building where we could follow the progress of the fire. It is an example of operating under the heavy pressure of an on-going news development. (The entire last half hour of the news is an example of this). We also covered a national story live from our Washington Bureau dealing with the Charlotte-born wife of a Russian dissident. The reporter had established contacts in Russia when we covered Billy Graham's historic journey to the Soviet Union live last spring."

Finally! That sounds great. Now I need to find out who did this new theme for KFSN. For some reason I thought they could be the same composer, but I guess not.

But if TEGNA dare to launch a second buyout, Regina might be gone. Remember, that not all TEGNA station got hit with the buyouts on Friday. So if TEGNA plans to buyout more people, that means more money for the company.

I play this while playing with my little chopper 8's...we play "fire" and "earthquake". When we play politicians...we use cut 2.
