Veteran talent gets paid more. They seem to have less and less interest in maintaining viewer relationships or talent continuity, and more in doing everything as cheaply as they can.

She was talking to ns8401.

Gray's whole strategy is to buy up the massive gorilla stations, so. Though I've heard that Gray doesn't really build market leaders from within anymore, like they apparently used to?

The networks have seen to it that there are no more New World-esque shakeups. That Fox eventually bought New World outright - and still owns most of the outlets they inherited from them - helps with that.

What kind of price would WBNS and WTHR have gone for in 2009? Because $535 million feels like a massive sum to me, even now.

Won't TEGNA be able to fix the Justice Network? The one time I tuned in, KUSA's feed was real, real janky.

Denver would probably be the better choice - since it's not as prone to excessive heat as Phoenix, either.

Sinclair is gonna have to take on a shitload of debt in order to pull this off...

Oh thank you, I missed your stuff so much.

I've heard on here that Lakana is a nightmare to use, whereas WordPress is literally free (well, the base software is) and very very easy to use.

They also did the graphics that KMGH introduced in 1998.

Oh my god that's gorgeous.

What's stopping Hearst from just buying KLKN? Lombardo still wants out, right?

Gray must love being able to double-dip!

A lot of millennials grew up taking cable and satellite for granted and don't even seem aware you can get OTA TV, for free, legally. Though a lot of people don't have antennas either. If diginet operators were serious they'd push the antenna aspect harder or pull a stunt like offering to install one. Also, please. Anything but a 24-hour Kids Click. I'm sure schlockmeisters like Andy Heyward are just chomping at the bit for that.

I have no idea why Decades is still around. Kinda too bad CBS decided to dump it though. Does anybody even watch TBD?

AT&T is massively in debt, and Katz is a Turner alumnus. It adds up!

Didn't NBC buy KUTV entirely so that they had something extra to give CBS? An earlier version of that trade saw NBC surrendering WTVJ and WRC.

Yeah I think Gray wants to sell off WFLX. Would help with debt and such.

That isn't even how an interstate sign is shaped.

It doesn't help Tribune that they're a public company and they could be seen as breaching their fiduciary duty to refuse the highest bid...

I notice KDVR seems to have gotten more competitive since they scooped the pair up after KMGH had to get rid of them...

Here's hoping!

I think KFMB commissioned the image, if not the news too - it's possible that 615 was syndicating it before KFMB started using it.

God, the first- and second-generation Hearst(-Argyle) stuff has aged so badly. I'm sure it looked worse than what it replaced in a lot of cases too. WBAL had to junk their perfectly good Cordova package after, what, a year?
