We have another Nexstar station that's dropping MeTV for Antenna TV. La Crosse/Eau Claire's WLAX/WEUX is replacing MeTV for Antenna TV (25.2 & 48.2, respectively) beginning December 3. MeTV will be carried on Quincy's WXOW 19.3 (formerly Decades). Also, no word of what Gray's WEAU will be carrying to displace Antenna. It'll highly likely it'll carry Gray's Circle diginet in its place. I think its "safe to say" that Nexstar is waiting patiently for those MeTV contracts to expire.......

He was already in studio for a special live edition of UpClose that Sunday. This was because the network called the winner of the election that previous morning.

You still think they're going to switch to that god-awful noise? Talkback 16 would be jammed!!.......

The Alex Trebek tributes is in this thread.

Glad that Sade & Bill are anchoring on this historic night.

That deal has been greenlighted today.

Follow-up. Fox 5 made their official announcement this AM. It is the latter. 6-11am.

New M&A. Seems that Weigel continues to grow..... Remember a couple of months back, it announced they're acquiring Nashville's WJFB from HC2 Broadcasting. Well they're now going to acquire four more stations from HC2 for $35M. KAZD Lake Dallas (Dallas) KYAZ Katy (Houston) KMOH Kingman, AZ KEJR-LD Phoenix All of these stations currenty air Azteca America. That carriage will likely away should the deal get to the finish line. But HC2 does have a couple of LPs in those three cities it could move Azteca in. But this could set up for a major shift in subchannel placement once the current carriage deals expires. In Dallas, CBS's KTVT carries Start, while sister KTXA carries MeTV. Fox's KDFW carries Decades, while sister KDFI carries Movies & H&I. In Houston, Graham's KPRC currently carry three of the nets (MeTV, H&I & Start) and Fox's KTXH carries two (Decades & Movies). In Phoenix, KAZT in Prescott carries MeTV, while Fox's KSAZ (H&I) & KUTP (Decades, Movies & Start) carries the rest. Weigel does have group deals with CBS & Fox to carry one (or more) of their diginets. Even two Fox O&Os carry MeTV (WTTG & KTBC). So It'll be interesting to see how this turns out.

Jeannette was the morning reporter & fill-in anchor for the two years she was there.

They should've gotten the three-sided horizontal flags similar to what Fox 11 have in LA. Also, going back to that 6pm vid from last night, Is the vamp music (after the open) is one of the themes from Arnold's Extreme? So, this is a modern-day Magnum, huh?

Okay. The Byron Allen diginet talk is in this thread.

The first set of stations going to Mission was greenlighted by the FCC today. KASY/KWBQ, WLAJ, WXXA, & WNAC.

Basically, Tim & Sean are keeping their same positions under their new corporate structure. Tim was the president of subsidiary, Nexstar Broadcasting, Inc. And Sean was the EVP of WGN America, WGN Radio & Antenna TV & Director of Content Acquisition. The only one that's leaving is Gregory Raifman, president of Nexstar DIgital, LLC. He will stay on until his term is up at the end of March. The new structure will go in effect November 1st.

Longtime anchor Joel Daly, passed away this morning at the age of 86.

11pm open: Vid courtesy of "KLMO"'s YT Page.

KSBY is the second (former) Cordillera station to get the new graphics. Vid courtesy of KSBY's YT page.

The date stayed on too long.....

And Gray has swiftly closed on the KUBD acq. on Monday (10/19).

It sounds more like club music to me....

Michaela made her debut on Good Day this morning.

I guess we forgot to mention KNIN. Here's their weather graphic......

"Solutions" is moreso like KGO's "Building a Better Bay Area". where they discuss an array of issues (job hunting, homelessness, race issues, etc.) I wouldn't call this a form of investigative reporting. They do have an "ABC 7 Investigates", but they're being done by the regular reporters since they don't have an assigned investigative reporter.

KABC did use the '7 On Your Side' moniker for Consumer reports in the early 2000s. But that was when Ric Romero was there before he retired a few years ago.

It was greenlighted by the FCC earlier today. Again, this deal doesn't include Sitka's KTNL or Juneau's LP KXLJ-LD. Those two will stay with Denali with silent station KTVA.
