Wheel/Jeopardy are on WCNC, not WSOC. And the order is reversed on WLOS vis a vis WCNC.

Definitely the dark side of having ONE company controlling all of the major affiliations in the same market. It seems like if it were the case, then at least ONE of them should be must-carry and carry a basic load of newscasts (since most are likely simulcasted anyways.)

If they piped in WLOS here, we’d temporarily have two chances to see Wheel or Jeopardy here.

Do that and that might end these disputes or make them shorter once and for all.

I don't want the FCC to force the Cox stations to take an unfair deal. What needs to happen is the FCC and the NAB needs to allow Directv, Dish, Xfinity, Spectrum and others to pipe in a nearby station from a market next to the one where the station is dropped. So, in Pittsburgh's case. You have the option to choose WTOV, WJAC, WFMJ, or WBOY as an alternative till COX and Directv agree on a deal. In 2010, Directv replaced most NBC Hearst stations with Nexstar's WBRE for example. I think the main alternates should be the NYC locals (East Coast [most are O&Os of said network]) and LA Locals (West Coast). For those worried this wont work, Here is why it will. In most cases it would be the market next to theirs which would be semi local. All of the stations mentioned above do carry News, weather and Sports from certain places in the Pittsburgh market already so it would be an extension of that. It doesn't work in some areas but in most it would work fine. I do see some viewers going to other stations but most are watching for the network programming anyway. Not news.

From 1986, In memory of Two FBI Agents who were killed in Sunrise, FL today. We send our condolences to their families. 35 years ago a similar tragedy occurred in sunniland, on WSVN presented a special regarding the tragedy and WTVJ's original newscast from that day.
