  1. Lmao! I'll tell you what Grit looks like after I look at the book.
  2. 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).
  3. 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.
  4. I could see every station being acquired this way and operated by Nexstar. Every. One. Of. Them.
  5. Idk if it was mentioned, but the Pix11 website officially lists Nexstar as the station owner. And here's the slate:
  6. Counter-programming the real effects of the Climate Crisis. Completely agreed. I think that, creative and sales will be hubbed.
  7. 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.
  8. This is an idea that's waaaaay late. I don't honestly see the point.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. This is all conspiracy theories. The cult of personality isn't going to vote for someone without one.
  12. Good riddance. What a vile creature.
  13. It's also why stations should immediately air the local newscast at the end of the network newscast instead of another ad break. More adverts after the end of the network feed allows people to wander away from broadcast programming to cable.
  14. More likely restricted.
  15. Separate videos doesn't mean separate packages. These are all the same package.
  16. These are from the same package!
  17. It has no relationship to the Limerick package:
  18. It's now NBC Arthouse.
  19. I'm suspicious about what TEGNA's objective here is. Are they thinking that KDAF is going to lose their CW affiliation and be able to line up KMPX as a replacement. I think it's strange for them to buy a one-off Estrella station.
  20. You have to wonder, why he moved to NBC4 to then move back to NBC5. Did they feel that David would be a better fit?
  21. I'd like to point out the U3 right alignment issue:
  22. Taylor is not cheap.
  23. A year and a half? Only if they bought an entirely new graphics and weather systems.
  24. Really? A new color scheme and text size take a year and a half? WHAT!?
  25. Sadly, this doesn't seem like an updated version. Although the audio fidelity may not be good and therefore it betrays me ears, this is in fact the 2002 commission that went unused. Not exactly a modern take.
