They did nothing to solve the 2 critical issues: 1) Apollo is bankrolling both companies and essentially has Cox and Tegna as subsidiaries of the same company. As a result, there are five markets where both companies are in place, and no effort was made to adjust for such. Graham made that clear last year in a petition to deny. 2) There is too much foreign money involved, coming from the Cayman Islands, Bermuda and the Turks and Caicos (I believe). As a result, it is illegal on that alone. In addition, they failed to disclose such.

That's a big ol' bug for WAFB.

You put that in plainer, more clear-cut language than Rosenworcel did. Maybe you should've helped draft the order.

Local News Live has adopted the white-blue WANF aesthetic.

She can get PO'd all she wants, but the deal will die and that's that.

Hazel Dukes of the NAACP is PO'd at the FCC for letting the deal die.

Oh, my bad. I don't live there anymore, and I shared this from the Discord.

The KPIX Late News format feels like trying to add a sprinkle of seasoning to otherwise bland food. CBS still cannot shake this inauthentic corporate looking format that they have on their local stations. Other than anchor personality, background music choices, graphics and how they write when they report all contribute to the "spice" of a station. Tegna has this issue to. KTLA is a good example of a station that has cookie cutter corporate elements but still manages to have its own individualistic spark. Fox O&Os are also somewhat good at this too.

Biden’s FCC nominee has withdrawn.

I like WWJ’s news opening. They aren’t flashy and it’s reflective on the serious tone CBS is going for. I think KCAL/KCBS is way too flashy. KPIX is too. I think WCBS is getting the new graphics very soon.

I also think KDKA, just like the silly little Pittsburgh Steelers fans, are stuck in the past. They know they can’t resist the inevitable lol. They will soon be called CBS News Pittsburgh. Same with you KYW. Silly little traditionalists lol.
