  1. Yeah, WCLE (AM) and WCLE-FM are both also down in Tennessee -- Cleveland, TN, to be exact. WJJW might be available, though. The calls are on an FM station at a small college in northwestern Massachusetts; Nexstar could probably work out a deal that would allow them to use WJJW-DT in exchange for a "modest" donation.
  2. Too bad the WCLE call letters aren't available.
  3. If the majority of MSNBC's audience actually wants Lockup to return, the channel is in more trouble than we thought.
  4. Is there a story behind that?
  5. Purchasing Ion and most of its O&O stations (over sixty of 'em!) and not doing anything with them beyond running daily marathons of procedural dramas (read: cop shows) from the last few decades and occasional live sports is particularly dumb. I doubt they're attracting any cord-cutters with that strategy.
  6. I'm sure someone at Apple would love to have stores that look like that...with or without the video "tank" in the middle. Link's broken. You need to remove the extra "http://" at the beginning.
  7. I have a friend in Amarillo who mentioned that the Sinclair station there (KVII) has "reportedly ditched all local news people other than the weather team". That's the ARC thing, right?
  8. I have a feeling Ali Velshi's being saved for when Lawrence O'Donnell retires.
  9. Still, at least Dr. Phul-Ovit is off of broadcast stations.

    In Memoriam

    It's worse than that -- his daughter's now lost both of her parents. From the article:
  11. Interesting that the ABC logo appears "first" even though WBBH is the actual Hearst-owned station.
  12. They couldn't be bothered to mention that Connecticut news is covered by their sister station that's actually in Connecticut? Lovely.
  13. I know we're talking about a station in Cheyenne, WY, but wow, those IDs are terrible.
  14. Okay, that set looks quite good. I particularly love the graphics behind the anchors.
  15. Has Oprah denounced him yet?
  16. It's Jimmy Fallon whose show cut back to four (new) episodes a week, not Kimmel.
  17. Considering the extreme weather that part of the country gets, I'm not surprised one bit.
  18. I'm so glad they emphasized "America" in those banners. Viewers might've thought it was inauguration day somewhere else.
  19. Quite honestly, I'm amazed Standard General is even still around.
  20. And sell piecemeal! If a buyer only wants a small handful of stations, take the deal. You'll be that much closer to done. (He's not reading this, is he?)
  21. Noticias suficientes para hacer feliz a la red. That's Spanish for "Just enough news to make the network happy." You're welcome.
  22. Assuming it's actually revoked under a Republican-controlled FCC.
  23. A news-heavy, major-market TV station in the nation's capital? I don't see the problem.
