What @nycnewsjunkie said. All SG had to do was agree to put the Tegna stations in Atlanta, Charlotte, Jacksonville, and Seattle up for sale (no need to make Coxpollo sell its stations when this whole thing was Soo Kim's brainchild) and the deal would've happened. Instead, Kim/SG and ApollCox are joining Sinclair in sitting in the corner wearing egg on their faces. Eggs are for eating, not wearing.

Heck, he could have teamed up with another broadcaster -- Hearst, Graham, Allen, one of the networks, etc. "Look, help me out here and I'll let you pick which stations you get to keep." (This may very well have been how he got Apollo on board.) Hopefully Tegna would have the sense to start selling stations well before then.

Tegna's fate could be up in the air for another year? Ouch...

"NewsNation Billings".... "NewsNation Elmira".... "NewsNation Escanaba"... "NewsNation Podunk".... I can see their competitors having a field day. "Would you trust news for Escanaba that's coming from CHIGAGO?"

I for one am looking forward to the great culling of cable channels. It's long overdue. The multiplexes should be among the first to go, of course -- all the extra HBOs, Showtimes, MTVs, Nicks, VH1s, etc. It's 2023; who needs eight flavors of HBO (plus their west coast feeds) when you have HBO Max? But the absolute first channels that need to go? Music Choice and its ilk.

I can't wait to see how they re-brand The Movie Channel. "Paramount+ with Showtime and The Movie Channel"? This just feels like Paramount is either raising the white flag of surrender and acknowledging HBO's superiority in the premium cable space...or doing the equivalent of saying, "Hey! No one messes with my son Shoey! He's a PARAMOUNT!"
-
They could brand it as "MyBall".
-
What, is the NBC logo missing from the station's website?
-
Someone want to rename this thread? The current title isn't really appropriate anymore. I'm thinking "Disney's A Tale of Two Bobs" would work...
-
For the record, that's eight stations -- all in fairly large markets (the smallest is Pittsburgh). Of course, it'll be interesting to see which other station groups follow CBS's lead here.

Said report is paywalled...and I have no interest in becoming a FTVLive patron. THANK YOU. It's a relief to see I'm not the only one confused here.

[Replying to a few replies to my comment on the CBS News Detroit thread...] I know that, but the logic in the specific post I was replying to -- your logic -- didn't say anything about CBS owning a station in Atlanta, so I didn't take that into consideration. I think I missed the part about the CW being dropped from WUPA. Has that been confirmed and/or announced? And.... how has this thread not been shoved over to the Speculatron?

By that logic, WFSB in Hartford (also a Gray station acquired from Meredith) is going to drop CBS, too -- its website is also missing the network's logo.

Meanwhile, at least one Newsmax reporter is pretending Trump's private plane is the same one he had while president...

The Spanish-language channels being grouped at the bottom of the list, looking more like an afterthought than anything, is almost amusing. Almost.

WCVB and, to a lesser extent, WMTW and WPTZ/WNNE. Basically, it's the curse of a large chunk of New Hampshire being in Boston's shadow. If there was just a little more distance between Manchester and Boston -- say, ten or twenty miles -- things might be different. WNNE would still be an NBC affiliate, WNHT would still exist as a CBS affiliate, and WMUR would have the standard Hearst graphics package.
-
Considering that Nexstar owns the CBS (WKBN) and Fox (WYFX-LD) affiliates and operates the ABC affiliate (WYTV), they're going to want to find a different buyer.

TEGNA Broadcasting and Digital General Discussion
mre29 replied to ABC 7 Denver's topic in Corporate Chat
What makes you think it'd be Sinclair? Scripps, Hearst, and CBS are in Baltimore, too. -
That could also be the first documentary, series or otherwise, to air on the CW.
-
That's basically what I said, only going in the other direction.

This makes me wonder if the plan is for ID to take over HLN's channel space on most cable systems once the latter is fully shut down.
-
He can hang out with Kanye, Alex Jones, and a certain former president.

They may as well be a cable TV company. All they need is a 24-hour weather channel. "Yo, I heard you like cable systems, so I got you a cable system for your cable system."

Sounds nasty, but I'm sure there's a topical ointment for that.

My interpretation of the announcement is that the crime shows are being added to Investigation Discovery, likely allowing WBD to either flip HLN into something different or vacate the channel space altogether. (If it's the latter, I hope AMC Networks tries to get BBC World News in there.)
