  1. Actually, I had to unfollow WMUR's Twitter account because it tweets so frequently and often only with links to "human interest" stories I had no interest in.
  2. Why is it Tribune that would have to pay that? Isn't it normally the would-be-buyer that would pay? Also, it makes it look like Tribune's the one being punished for the deal collapsing for regulatory reasons, even if those reasons are because of Sinclair's massive size.
  3. I'm sure both the code name and the loss of signal will be seen as yet more proof of media bias.
  4. I just rewatched it, this time with sound. That intro was recorded in advance and assembled in editing, right?
  5. I watched that video without sound as I'm at work. I don't plan on watching it with sound.
  6. I'm thinking it'll go unbranded sooner rather than later, with Fox completely letting go of the branding/standardization reins for affiliates at the same time. Heck, they may even quietly encourage affiliates to rebrand away from it.
  7. Considering that St. George is over 250 miles from SLC, I wonder if Weigel is planning on starting a news division. EDIT: Another idea: What if Weigel is planning on trying to purchase KSTU or whichever station is spun off from the Sinclair/Tribune merger?
  8. Gee, maybe they should just rename it "Really Late Tonight"...
  9. Uh...McStation? I think you lost me there....
  10. Take a look at which states the stations are in. KUTV is in Utah, WKRC is in Ohio, KOMO is in Washington state, and WJLA is in DC. Utah and Ohio are red states. Washington isn't. DC definitely isn't.
  11. Oh, you're talking about legislators. I was talking about voters.
  12. You assume that people in this country are only conservative Republicans or liberal Democrats. What about people who are neither? Are they capable of watching Oliver even though they're not liberal Democrats?
  13. I believe the main monologue segment is usually available on HBO's YouTube channel.
  14. It's available on Roku via subscription.
  15. Wow....the bezels on that 9-pack are thick.
  16. What, no Maddow on Fridays?
  17. For what little I watched of Greta's show on Fox over the years (an amount that can be measured in minutes), she seemed more like a local TV anchor reporter from a mid-sized market than anything.
  18. #NexstarProducing is trending on Twitter. Anyone know what's going on?
  19. Hugh Hewitt is getting a half-hour Saturday morning show. That article also references something I apparently missed when it happened: Lockup was canceled, its 25th season being its last.
  20. Would that be considered an improvement?
  21. So, how'd the stations rank before Sinclair bought Fisher and Tegna bought Belo?
  22. Huh. I always figured KOMO was at least a strong 2nd, possibly even beating out KING in some time slots.
  23. Is that why station groups tend to be sold en masse rather than piecemeal? To make it easier for the governmental agencies? That's really weird.
  24. How can the paperwork be all that time-consuming? Do they have to do it entirely by hand and in triplicate?
