Wowza. If not for the statutory cap, the base penalty would have been $1,720,000—and likely to be adjusted upward. Also worth noting: Gray ended the violation by moving the CBS stream to K22HN-D (now KYES-LD)...and then putting it on a subchannel of KTUU. How dumb this whole mess is. It's clear these rules were not written with multicasting in mind.

Here is the link to the Comcast petition, which I found in this article on TVTechnology: https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/10702278919219/2021.07.01 AS-FILED PUBLIC WPIX Petition for Declaratory Ruling.pdf The TVTechnology article is at: https://www.tvtechnology.com/news/comcast-tells-fcc-that-nextstar-is-violating-ownership-cap

Major retirement announcement at WBTV. He will be missed!

ABC is getting its first regular season MLB game since 1989.

I gotta give it up to WCBS they had by far the best coverage of the parade today in my opinion. It was nice to have the entire team out on the parade route and with the crowd. After flipping through all the stations, I really say they did it the best and were def #1 for coverage today.

“Comcast wants the FCC to issue a ruling that Nexstar should be attributed ownership of WPIX New York , which would make it in violation of the commission's 39% cap on broadcast national audience reach. The cable operator claims Nexstar’s divestiture of the station to meet FCC requirements in its acquisition of Tribune was a “sham.”” https://www.cablefax.com/programming/new-feud-comcast-says-nexstar-violates-audience-cap-tribune-order

It looks like they're still using the Look F geographic map wipes (e.g. "Manhattan", "New Jersey"), but the package is so iterative that I suppose they still match. Overall looks great, lovely animations and typography. Glad to be rid of the grey bar on the bottom of Look F!

Yeah, I know. That's why I had a suspicion that something was going to change for the main channel. Honestly going to miss CourtTV in HD.

I can't even begin to process *THIS*! WCKT's (WSVN) Sunday Night News '76 With Carmel Cafiero.
