Despite not making any significant accomplishments during his tenure, I would give kudos to Kiernan for being on this long.

A small M&A. Ramar wants to take advantage on the updated duopoly rules in Lubbock. They're buying Wolfforth, TX's CW station KLCW, from Woods (owner of Fox station KJTV-TV) for $100K.

Liberman closed the sale last Thursday. And has switched programming to Estrella over the weekend.

Follow-up. Gray will donate KGWC's license to Central Wyoming College, which they own a chain of PBS outlets throughout the state. There will also be callsign & virtual channel changes as well. From the donation agreement:

Watched the livestream just now. The Gari music survives on Good Day LA. And Beyond for everything else.

Wished they'd used a different font, but glad that the "55" brand is back.

WLS have appointed KTRK's CSD David Lee, as the new CSD. From Feder:

Small new M&A. WJAX owner Bayshore Television, is selling the station to Hoffman Communications for $1.2M. Cox (owner of WFOX) will continue to operate WJAX.

That cue in the beginning is News Series 2000. Gari reorchestrated that cue and you can tell by the quality sounded way better than the old Tar Sequence score.

I was never aware that the mobile versions already had the design.

WFAA had the old website layout earlier this morning.

WFAA went live with their new website this morning.

You know what the fucked up part was? Why didn't the school notify his employer at that time? Why they didn't tell his station that he was banned from coming to their campus? He would've been ousted a LONG TIME AGO!!

It was only a matter of time.......

WLWC is carrying Ion Life.

This deal has been greenlighted. .....and this deal too.

.....And this deal is DONE.

No lie, but I did see that though. There's another link that streamed the local Mardi Gras coverage. The stream normally switches over from 4 to 54 after 7am, when local news shifts. But today, 54 is airing CTM, and that's probably why you saw that.

Remember last year, when I stated that WWL was airing the 7-9am local Mardi Gras coverage om WUPL? Well this year, they've corrected this wrong and as I speak, they're airing the local coverage "straight-through" on channel 4, moving CBS This Morning to 54.

Look under transaction description to either KFNB or KTWO. All Gray is going to do is move CBS stream to a sub of KCWY. Or didn't they already bought some LPs in that market?

We have a NEW M&A tonight. Gray is bulking up in Wyoming. Gray will acquire Mark III's KGWL/KGWR for $15.7M ($15,716,667). KGWC will be spun-off to an indie buyer. Legacy Broadcasting will acquire Silverton's KTWO (and its sats) for $1.5M. Plus they'll be getting the Wyomedia stations (including KFNB) for $3.28M ($3,283,333). Legacy is claiming KFNB as the fifth-largest rated station in Casper, and its MeTV LP station KYWF-LD as the fourth largest.

Paperwork is up. Purchase price is $255K. The sale does not include KCPO-LP.

Five days after the new "dereg" rules went in effect, the FCC has greenlighted this deal.

Yep. They're clearly taking advantage of Pai's new ownership rules that went in effect last Wednesday. The elimination of the "eight-voices test" have made it easier for these groups to acquire a second (non top-4) full-power station in these smaller markets, without a need to request a "failed station waiver". Expect to see more deals like this in the coming days & weeks........

WWL's new website just went live. ....And so did KXTV.
