Animation is cool but really dig the sound.

Thought you guys might appreciate these. They actually don't include the studio portion of the building along the back of the building though.

Speaking of old Gannett properties, if you have $3m laying around you can buy KSDK's old building in downtown St Louis https://www.cbre.com/resources/fileassets/US-SMPL-191835/0b9f369e/3eca36dc-0eef-4313-adae-df7facea907e.pdf Almost worked there... but was turned off by what St Louis calls pizza.

That's a beautiful sign - I hope they rebuild!

We’re now going to see this situation become very common throughout public media—though it makes a lot of sense. One of the few times consolidation is likely to help more than hurt. GBH and NEPM to merge: https://www.wgbh.org/foundation/press/press-releases/2026-05-01/gbh-and-nepm-announce-anticipated-merger-to-strengthen-access-to-trusted-news-information-and-quality-entertainment-across-massachusetts DC for example is served over-the-air and on cable by at least three different PBS member stations. This is common in several markets. At least 70-80% maybe more of these program schedules overlap with the same programming.

You’re not wrong. https://www.reddit.com/r/Broadcasting/s/6b0RuBRYZJ

It's not the 90s... on-demand news is everywhere. Giving that time back to affiliates would actually be a burden. Stations don't have the budget for syndie programming, and producing live news at that hour has terrible ROI for advertisers. News foamers also overlook the staffing reality: asking anchors, producers, reporters, directors to add on more shows for no extra pay is ridiculous (but the norm). The Byron Allen shows are trash, but forcing cash-strapped affiliates to bleed money on an unprofitable late night local newscast isn't the answer. It’s wild to me that people here claim to love local news, yet have zero regard for the actual crews being asked to do more with less while linear viewership keeps dropping.

Nobody needs an 11:30p newscast.

Sue them for what exactly?

Did anyone read this tool's take on the situation? https://tvnewscheck.com/regulation/article/jessell-courts-shouldnt-meddle-in-the-nexstar-tegna-deal/ Jessell is as much of a con artist as Scott Jones at FTVLive.

Nexstar has stations that have spent money on custom packages, so… probably it would stay the same. Or it gets reimagined by Stephen Arnold (like KRON and WPIX).

Trump’s Executive Order on NPR and PBS Is Unconstitutional, Judge Rules The ruling will have minimal effect on the federal money going to public media because Congress voted to claw back funding. But it could have implications for any future funding. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/business/media/trump-npr-pbs-executive-order-ruling.html Could be an interesting look into the future of cases brought against Brendan Carr’s FCC and their dislike of “liberal media”.

Garbage like this sometimes makes me feel like Nexstar is doing us a service by killing off local television news. But thanks KHQ for bringing me all this “content”. I love content. I am a good consumer.

What the hell did I just watch?

edit: nevermind, story/link was already posted. anyway RIP local TV news
