I'm with Eat on this one. Companies have gotten away with some fines for much, much worse than "lying to the FCC." PG&E has blown up neighborhoods and burned down cities in California (killing people in the process) because of their negligence, and all they've gotten are some (big) fines and had to go through bankruptcy. Sinclair is going to get their knuckles slapped with a ruler, have to pay some fines, and maybe say "we're deeply sorry." This isn't going to be some Enron-level scandal.

I expect the FCC lawyers and the Sinclair lawyers to stipulate that Sinclair pays a reasonable (pre-agreed ) fine ,and promise not to do it again. And that's all. No drama...no nothing. Just a fine...and everyone moves on. Seriously folks... Where are the "victims" in this dastardly affair? It's big business,and that's the price you pay when you play with real money ...in the real world.

Entering Spectulatron territory here, but - they could also make them both a half hour a la Bold and the Beautiful on CBS. Or be truly unconventional (and old fashioned) and divide the two hours into three 40-minute shows. Since they all function in the same “world” - it could open the door for some fun crossover and hook fans in to the whole lineup. (Because I’d assume they’d film in LA like GH and AMC towards the end of its run.). Best guess is that they end up on a Disney-owned streaming platform.

Depending on who's elected to the executive branch in 2020 - and if this in fact stretches that long - I think much more serious consequences are still in play.

Hal Riney did the voiceovers for these spots. He was also a legendary advertising executive who was best known for creating President Reagan's 1984 "It's Morning Again In America" ad, which helped catapult Reagan to a second term in office. Riney also produced/voiced ads for Ernest and Julio Gallo Wines and Saturn, among many others. https://adage.com/article/agency-news/a-back-hal-riney-contrarian/303207/

Oh, definitely option B. Sadly, I can also see Sinclair going scorched earth with the affected stations, removing equipment, laying off nearly all of the employees, and generally dismantling the stations so that any potential buyers won't get much.

That wouldn't be fair to KGUN. The Journal package turns ten years old in a few weeks... I know they haven't had it that long, but still. It needs to go.

I would pick Option B. Sinclair has made a $500.00 grocery list full of problems and "certain things".

WNBC's producted suffered under Vicki Burns. When she was in LA for Carmaggedon, KNBC staffers were seriously disturb at how little she cared about that because she doesn't own a car, and on the interwebz it was alleged that she would be out the station by the 5pm News. So we'll see.

Cue the Nichelle Medina rumors to KGTV...

Well, congrats! Your posts don't look like that of an 18 year old, they're very professional! Did someone order some Wichita clips?
