  1. I mean, I would love to see it relocated to Larkspur and the true Garden's returned. Six Flags added a ton of concrete to it and management has been meh.
  2. KCDO, iirc, is still operated for the most part out of Aurora (for now). However, since Scripps has National programming operating out of the KMGH building, real estate is tight. The question would be where to put the new studio. Anything outside of downtown Denver is a haul into the city. A friend of mine suggested a lot scrape, but that would make it impossible for staff to work during construction, especially since there is limited off-site parking. My thought is that since the KMGH lot is a valuable commodity right there on Lincoln and Speer, I'd sell that and build a new studio in RiNo (in-kind real estate trade). That seems like a great spot since it's up and coming. Of course, if Scripps waits they could move into the new River Mile development with a street level studio.
  3. Have you ever been inside? It's cramped as f*ck! The studio can't hold a weather center (which is off in a conference room). There's no studio B (unless you like a wide hallway) nor way to expand if they want to add staff. News, sports and weather staffers share desks (day-side and night-side). I mean, KMGH is on the large side. I don't know why they'd need a new building, but CBS 4 certainly would.
  4. No, it's not. As DENDude indicated, KCNC's is older, but KLZ used to be located in a different facility in a different area. I know this because my grandfather was an anchor there in the late 50s and early 60s. Also, CBS will never pay for a new studio for KCNC. I'm familiar with a lot of the nuances of the station. They run at wider margins than most. KMGH is seeing some advocacy for a new building, but I can't imaging that the current lot would be serviceable for that purpose. It is centrally located, however, so we shall see.
  5. I mean, this is the same company that formed Scripps Interactive. I don't think they play that kind of game.
  6. Laura was at AccuWeather not Weather Nation. Also she was at KDVR for 3 months. It was brief. When she was offered AccuWeather, she couldn't pass up the opportunity to move to PA.
  7. I get the distinct sense that the new WKYC branding didn't work....http://tegna.jobs.net/jdp/marketing-director-j3w3146glglcz7tycjr?ipath=CRJR8
  8. You'd think they'd carry even just the network feed.
  9. Soon the ENG tower will be hidden.
  10. Local3... Ok, Nexstar. Taking a national view. Seriously dumb branding. Akin to Kraft saying "Homemade Goodness From Our Factories"
  11. Lmao! I'll tell you what Grit looks like after I look at the book.
  12. I'm not sure why Scripps didn't at least attempt to sell it to Litton. The distribution deals baked into the original charter have some value. It seems to me that ION is moving toward the same category as MyNetworkTV, as it will be strictly syndicated primetime programming blocks and local media partners will fill in the rest of the content, likely with locally produced content and syndicated repeats (e.g. The List, Right This Minute). From a Denver perspective, I'm not sure why Scripps acquired KCDO. Grit, like NewsNet and significantly less so than TEGNA's Quest, doesn't exactly attract a wide, relevant audience. Even if their target demo is men between 25 and 55 years old, that's pretty much in line with the sweet spot of a lot of first run network programs anyway, and those networks aren't producing new westerns. Also, KCDO-TV is the only full power station, O&O or otherwise, for Grit broadcasting on it's main channel... I'm wondering if this acquisition has more to do with ATSC 3.0. KMGH has had signal issues on their main tower due to VHF interference, but that was solved when the signal was duplicated on UHF KZCO-LD (though I'm not quite sure why Scripps didn't piggy back a UHF simulcast onto 7.4 like KUSA did on KTVD's UHF signal).
  13. Don't put I past them to try. They'd sooner divide all stations, each one station under it's own sidecar, controlled by Perry Sook's dog. And a fine for them to try is a slap on the wrist.
  14. The CSD wants something with...erm...detail, creativity and visual appeal.
  15. I could see every station being acquired this way and operated by Nexstar. Every. One. Of. Them.
  16. Idk if it was mentioned, but the Pix11 website officially lists Nexstar as the station owner. And here's the slate:
  17. It doesn't sound like they even own a license for The Rock. SAM needs to sue them.
  18. Counter-programming the real effects of the Climate Crisis. Completely agreed. I think that, creative and sales will be hubbed.
  19. I'm pretty sure that they no longer own the rights to the search lights. That was sold to Disney. I mean, even The X2 Package doesn't belong on a Fox station anymore.
  20. This is an idea that's waaaaay late. I don't honestly see the point.
  21. Ahahahahahaha! Trump is clean!? Hilarious. E.g. You do know that claiming Corporate property as Private Property to dodge taxes is illegal, right? He's not smarter than any of us by doing that. The tax code isn't a game. Cite your sources in line with this chart (just so we're clear what's considered neutral), where the FBI Agents say Flynn didn't lie. There's no evidence to support a deep state, only conspiracy theories. Did you hear about 'The Fake News' any time before Trump was put in by the Electoral College? No.
  22. Flynn was railroaded? That's a Fox News talking point. Flynn didn't register as a Ukrainian foreign agent, which he legally had to and he lied to the Federal Bureau of Investigation that he had met with the Russian Ambassador to discuss lifting sanctions on Russia, a country with a deeply troubling human rights record. Nothing railroaded about it.
  23. This is all conspiracy theories. The cult of personality isn't going to vote for someone without one.
