Scripps has denied Sinclair’s proposal to buy them.

The farewells for WFORs Eliott Rodriguez have started. He ends his long Miami career on Friday.

Hunt Valley loses again! I think their failed Tribune deal blacklisted them.

CBS wanted viewers and advertisers to think of this town hall as a display of "objective journalism," which it wasn't. They had no problem lining up mainstream advertisers for the "48 Hours" rerun that followed it, though. CBS actually plans to do more town halls and debates like this in the future, advertiser disinterest notwithstanding.

Ratings? I don't think there were even advertisers. Big Advertisers Appear Wary of CBS News’ Bari Weiss Town Hall Format https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/advertisers-wary-cbs-news-bari-weiss-town-hall-1236608265/

The Bari weiss segment with Mrs.kirk was very pathetic, what was her idea for that? Is she really an egomaniac?! And then her post interview on that was very over the top trying to make it like she made a holy pilgrimage.

Not sure if this is the best thread to put this but I'm unaware of one more relevant. It might be time for PBS to seriously rethink its spending at the corporate level - and beyond just talking about it. High-level corporate employees are receiving rather high salaries for what is legally a non-profit organization. The CEO of PBS received over a million dollars in 2023. That is completely unsustainable. If you're running a non-profit, I don't have a problem with you receiving a pay proportional to the work you're doing. And certainly as a CEO you deserve to be paid as you've worked hard to get to that position. But over a million dollars just in one year? I'm not sure under what circumstances that would ever be considered appropriate levels of pay for a nonprofit educational TV network - with or without Federal funding. It certainly won't solve the shortfall induced by losing Federal funds. But if PBS cuts spending at the corporate office to something more appropriate, maybe they won't need to charge as much to its member stations.
