ABC 7 Denver

You think that would stop those suspected companies? Apollo can sell the group as a complete unit and one of these suspected companies could have quietly negotiated a TBA in the background. Once the Apollo sale is complete, whomever buys the stations, immediately sells the radio stations to the 3rd-party. Apollo has no recourse. The entire idea that the FCC grants licenses or allows local broadcasting to serve the public interest went out the window, when the greedy corporations began slashing budgets, experienced journalists and solely providing shareholder value, instead of catering to their communities. You made your point as if crippling the visual storytelling medium wasn't the entire purpose. Really, the 3 biggest station groups - Sinclair, Nexstar and Gray are lead by Conservative CEOs who are more interested in pushing their own opinions and sucking the assets out of local journalism than providing a public good. Why do we think NewsNation is still around? Sean Compton is a close friend of Donald Trump's. Nexstar's local stations are being siphoned from resources and Nexstar retrans agreement with cable vendors must include NewsNation, which both Neilsen and Comscore demonstrate has little value, but Nexstar keeps taking valuable assets away from their stations to propup Donald Trump's friend. So I call bullshit on the idea that this isn't the entire intent of these organizations and we cannot stop it.

That story would change if the FCC indeeds eliminates the ownership cap. I'd imagine Nexstar, Gray and Sinclair owning all of the stations in the US.

Less meteorology and more clairvoyance?

I'm looking forward to a time when the national anthem plays and broadcasts end for the day because it's too expensive to run anything anymore. Remember, RFK is implementing a rule which wouldn't allow big pharma to advertise. This is a what I primarily see as the advert stream for evening newscasts. So the era of network evening newscasts may just end.

Could a 2-way sale satisfy that? Say Company A wants to by the stations from Apollo, but they don't want the radio stations. So Company A makes and agreement with Company B that upon completion of the sale from Apollo, Company B is transferred ownership of the radio assets, in exchange for a time honor agreement and a proportional contribution of the entire valuation of the sale (say stock and/or cash). Technically, Company A would acquire Cox since they owned the brokerage account and then would immediately split it. Of course, if Company A was tricky, they could negotiate in bad faith and then once the sale was complete immediately sell the assets anyway.

Looks like they migrated from a rear projection display to a seamless video wall. Is that a vinyl image over a white plexiglass facia on the front of the anchor desk or did they finally put animation on it. I will say that this anchor desk looks more local news than network. It's huge for 1 person. I would much rather have a counter-height desk and and several stand-ups around the studio, than the anchor staying in one place during the entire show. From what I could see in the video and from the image, it looks like they're testing the levels on these chairs to determine which would work well on camera. The problem with chrome is the reflectivity. Isn't Nightly News still using Studio 1A? That's a bright set and has windows. I really like this use.

AMG may be looking for a sale. Just flagging that this is the KFSN set.

Me thinks this might be a move to square the network up for a sale.

Honestly, that anchor desk feels pretty damn generic.

So CBS News built a volume stage.

Holy shit really?! You think the CBS package is good?! It's a terrible knock-off of the 2015 WTTV package that Tribune Creative West created which is far beyond the LinearDrift knockoff.

Ahhh. No wonder there are no shadows on their feet.

Just a bit of a squeeze on their website though. It's decompressed on the reference page: So probably a style sheets issue.

I'm sorry. Gray is literally everything but creative and innovative. It saves them money. New to a market is cheaper than a world's first.

Ozarks First what? F1RST ALERT? Gray and Nexstar are going to merge, aren't they? -_-

And apparently on a Green Screen set that mimics the originating one.

For those of us on Medicaid too. lmaooooo

Oh, and now inexplicably the future CMS administrator.

All that I can think of is... https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/logopedia/images/d/de/FallonTonight-OutlineLogo.svg/revision/latest?cb=20220629182424 https://logos.fandom.com/wiki/CBS_Evening_News?file=CBS_Evening_News_2025_(Alt).svg

I'd be surprised if they didn't choose a network version of the Ant Food theme, to tie it all together. Though I swear to god, if they are using Lonnie Quinn and Maurice DuBois to push more New York featured stories to a national audience, it's going to bomb. Hint: Most of America doesn't live in NYC, in case you didn't know.

So this is obviously a Jack Morton Worldwide Set. It's a mirror of KCAL. Are they really using a local market set for a national newscast?! Wild. I guess that they are, according to Variety.

Honestly, that's probably the direction things are heading.

Did TEGNA drop the design hub too? Also, do you have an example of the ads? I think this will bite them in the ass, honestly.

So I'm not wrong.
