New M&A. Back on April 20, Deerfield Media has bought K45CX-D in Park City, UT for $1.75M. The sale was greenlighted June 22. Even though they didn't form a JSA with Sinclair (they could've bought the station outright because the station is an LP), the Salt Lake Tribune said that they've made a partnership with Sinclair-owned KJZZ to air some of Park City TV's programming on KJZZ's signal.

For starters you have those 2 weeks of the Sundance that generates a bunch of cash for the area. if you are looking to do something hyper-local , it just might be worth it. Steady tourism...skiing, mountain biking....money. Heck you might be able to run Popeye cartoons, Law and Order reruns 50 weeks a year. Then you run 2 weeks of boutique Sundance programming for the rich fools. You would be programming for a transient population. Dream station....sign me up!

Doesn't look like KJZZ has a translator in Park City. Considering that it's one of the largest cities outside the Wasatch Range (and probably one of the wealthiest areas of Utah), maybe Deerfield thought it would be worth while? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KJZZ-TV#Translators

WSB 1970s WXYZ 1990s

The closing theme at the beginning of the video sounds weirdly similar to the theme All My Children was using during that same timeframe.

Been to Joplin lately? Let's fix that. KOAM News at 6 from 1987, using Tuesday's News 88: Also highly unusual material: an EARTHQUAKE CRAWL from KNBC over commercials and promos! (There's even a Spanish translation, though I spy a spelling error.) Also at 1:56 is a commercial voiced by Ed Hopkins. Ends in a news open...with a repeat. There's also an Entertainment Tonight segment on the death of Anthony Perkins on the same channel with this crawl, so this is from sometime in the third week of September 1992. No open or continuity, but TIL KOFY had local news in the late 80s and early 90s:

Close enough. According to her LinkedIn profile, Sally Schulze is a '93 U of I grad who's anchored in Champaign, Chattanooga, Seattle, and most recently in Orlando. She last held such an on-air position in 2008. Billed as a "recovering newsie", Sally has spent much of her recent life working on social justice issues, and tweeting/re-tweeting about social issues, attending political marches, and spreading some rather politically charged messages. Is that a problem? No, I guess not, considering it is a public, yet non-professional account. HOWEVER, appearing on-air might give some light to such divisive opinions. Displays of such statements and messages might also receive some criticism, considering that she's been a writer at FOX32 for almost a year. Look, I believe that most sane people can put professionalism and fairness before their politics, but this it might be time to set that account to private, and start a new one for reporting, otherwise...FAKE NEWS! BIASED MEDIA!
