ABC 7 Denver

Yes! Please call a spade a spade. This LMA operation sidecar bullsh*t must end.

Replace all NewsNet subchannels and offer a far more dynamic network to journalists. Cadillac versus Denver Headquarters.

At this point, they have the resources to go ahead and completely shutter NewsNet with Local24 programing.

I really love this concept. Granted it needs a time/temp and bug in there, but the direction is excellent!

I wouldn't be surprised if we see a similar rollout in Colorado at some point.

Good! I was wondering. I'm glad she's coming home. I wonder if Mekialaya White is going to stick on weekends since Kathy retired.

Time to render is cheaper and uses fewer resources.

Yes. Troika scraped these together from another campaign they had worked on.

This seems like an attempt to counter program climate crisis science.

Ahahahaha! No. We won't. TV stations are going to become less relevant over time.

Sure, if they want to use it as part of the operating expenses or give it to shareholders as dividends.

One market's ratings does not a large group's profits make. Nexstar may feel that losing 2-3 morning hours of local news programming across 40+ markets is worth it if the margin is made up in spades. The ratings (and ad-buy revenue) is very strong in proportion to the overall production costs.

I can't speak to the specifics, but from a rudimentary analysis, the collective number of staff hired on a per-station basis to produce an additional newscast is greater than that required to produce syndicated programming, especially with lower production costs like The List and Right This Minute as opposed to the former Arsenio Hall Show or Jeopardy. As a group like Scripps buys more stations, the overall savings further nets out. This is why I fully expect Nexstar to produce a NewsNation AM newscast for all of their Fox, CW and MyNetTV affils. The investment made in NewsNation is already significant and has no signs of waning (though I would argue about value for the Nexstar, Inc. brand entirely, because it's not their core competency). Therefore a syndicated morning program would A. Reduce staffing needs at many Nexstar stations. B. Drive viewers to the NewsNation cable channel. It's really a no brainer to me. A PM national for those stations a half hour earlier, could drive people to the network as well, if used to tease stories you'll only see on the Network.

Whether you appreciate it or not, group revenue isn't measured on a station by station basis.

I know the metrics intimately, they return a strong margin.

Ok, but if the profit is better than other options, they're going to stick with it.

That's exactly what I'm insinuating!

Not because he didn't get his way, but because the company isn't run effectively.

A bureau? Yes. A local program or subchannel called NewsNation Local? Probably at some point, yes.

He's the CBS Marketing Agency Creative Director (https://www.cbsmarketingagency.com/team). It's about time the O&Os work with someone other than Rey Rodriguez for their group design.

They'll likely get new creative leadership too. Bruce Bauer will exit.

That is the worst variation of that package that I have ever seen!

Iiiii maybe getting that confused with KDVR|KWGN. Oops.

Denver is a hub too.

He'll probably land at KDVR|KWGN where his WNCN GM now is.
