Okay a couple of follow ups... KRIS 6 lit up UHF 26 earlier this week. It'll keep VHF 13 rolling for a brief period. Also..... FCC has announced the date of the auction. June 7, 2022. Also, there's a noticable change. It appears they've lowered the starting bidding prices of the allotments. For example, the Syracuse allotment (the biggest prize in this auction), the starting bidding price for that allotment last fall was $1M. They've knocked it down to $750K. And the majority of the other allotments, the start price for those were $200K. It's now $150K.

I noticed PIX seems to have stopped social distancing at the anchor desk effective today

Here’s an updated pic for you. The Fox 32 newsroom is to the right (4-pane windows) and to the left (3-pane windows) is a seating area, etc.. as part of the complex’s tenant amenities I believe (see 2nd pic). Fox 32 often uses this space instead of having reporters outside in the elements.

She’s finally making the move to weekends.
