The Farewell from Miller and Jacobson.

Nexstar has clearly given priority to KDVR with KWGN treated as complimentary to the former. Not just because KWGN's website is now merged with KDVR, but it is also because KDVR seems to be given more production resources. Tribune treated each more on equal footing compared to Nexstar. Overall, it's not a bad thing but only if one looks at KWGN individually. Nexstar seems to be focused more on the overall success of both stations as a single unit with nominal branding differences versus whether each one has a strong identity. Personally I'm not a fan of what has been done with KWGN under Nexstar. I far prefer how LocalTV/Tribune (later just Tribune) managed KDVR/KWGN with having strong brands for each station. But I also don't believe Nexstar would just nuke KUSA. That said, Nexstar is dreaming if they think they can lawfully pull off owning KDVR/KWGN as well as KUSA/KTVD.

My AG has filed a suit for Colorado. I know he and his Political Director. So I can just comment directly. KUSA is still Denver's juggernaut. So Nexstar would just torch the place as they have with KDVR|KWGN.
