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?

I have a feeling Ali Velshi's being saved for when Lawrence O'Donnell retires.

Still, at least Dr. Phul-Ovit is off of broadcast stations.

It's worse than that -- his daughter's now lost both of her parents. From the article:

Interesting that the ABC logo appears "first" even though WBBH is the actual Hearst-owned station.

They couldn't be bothered to mention that Connecticut news is covered by their sister station that's actually in Connecticut? Lovely.

I know we're talking about a station in Cheyenne, WY, but wow, those IDs are terrible.

Okay, that set looks quite good. I particularly love the graphics behind the anchors.

Has Oprah denounced him yet?

It's Jimmy Fallon whose show cut back to four (new) episodes a week, not Kimmel.

Considering the extreme weather that part of the country gets, I'm not surprised one bit.

I'm so glad they emphasized "America" in those banners. Viewers might've thought it was inauguration day somewhere else.

Quite honestly, I'm amazed Standard General is even still around.

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?)

About time someone was!

Noticias suficientes para hacer feliz a la red. That's Spanish for "Just enough news to make the network happy." You're welcome.

Assuming it's actually revoked under a Republican-controlled FCC.

A news-heavy, major-market TV station in the nation's capital? I don't see the problem.

Looks good, but I'd like to see it without the studio equipment blocking the view.

No surprise there. Microsoft sold its share around twenty years ago, and few people think of that company when they watch or think of MSNBC or even see its name.

It'll be interesting to see what the Republican-controlled FCC has to say about it...

I'm not sure it counts as a "double whammy" in NYC, unless you have a high opinion of NewsNation. I have a friend in Amarillo, TX, who currently can't get that market's Nexstar-owned NBC affiliate because of this dispute, but he can still get the Mission-owned Fox affiliate.

I know the above refers to Tuesday night's coverage, but it was basically the same last night as well. It'll probably be the same tonight, too. But in addition to MSNBC and NBC News Now both airing reruns from earlier in the evening, CNBC was airing reruns of...Shark Tank. The smart thing would have been for either NBC News Now or CNBC -- or both -- to dump those reruns and simulcast KNBC, at least until their respective normal live morning programming starts.

Then NBC should have done a better job of covering it up.

It would probably look better if they were able to completely cover up WDSU's L3 or if WDSU was able to provide a version of the feed without it.
