Nope. MyNetworkTV isn't available either.
You'd think they'd carry even just the network feed.

If any of you missed it, KCDO is back as an indie station. Grit moved to 3.2.
Local3... Ok, Nexstar. Taking a national view. Seriously dumb branding. Akin to Kraft saying "Homemade Goodness From Our Factories"

I can't imagine Scripps would've been excited about Qubo eating up spectrum on their new stations if they didn't own it...
The KCDO deal doesn't make a lot of sense, but I suppose Scripps thought Grit deserved a .1 here because we're Out West.
As for the Katz-Univision deal, the press release does say the migration will happen over the next five years...I'm sure Scripps's thinking is like Disney's seeming patience with regards to Marvel screen rights reversion...
Lmao! I'll tell you what Grit looks like after I look at the book.

re: Qubo
Dozens of Canadian media executives cried out in terror...
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).

I could see the WDVM move-in, but would it affect retransmission consent with WDCW? Could the same owner opt for must-carry for one station and retransmission consent for the other?
I highly doubt Meredith would part with WGCL, yet alone sell out entirely to Nexstar (or Mission). That would be a Sinclair-level shell game as there are many markets where Nexstar and Meredith compete, and the FCC would be amiss to allow some triopolies (along with the Sinclair/Deerfield cluster-f$#% in Mobile/Pensacola.) Atlanta may be a place to buy a stick and start anew. Maybe Meredith would be willing to sell WPCH? The irony in that is that the former W(TBS) and WGN (America) could all be under the same owner.
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.

Either way, we all know who really runs the show anyways. It doesn't mean much as the FCC lets it slide. Don't hate the player, hate the game...
I could see every station being acquired this way and operated by Nexstar. Every. One. Of. Them.

Idk if it was mentioned, but the Pix11 website officially lists Nexstar as the station owner.

FOX Weather: First you didn't believe the news ... now you won't believe the weather!

10 hours ago, Weeters said:I'll summarize my thoughts from the Discord:
I don't think this is an attempt at a new OTA weather channel or anything close to WeatherPlus. I think this is a vehicle to enable the hubbing of weather. The press release says "Fox Weather will feature local, regional and national updates... [Drawing] on more than 75 meteorologists across 17 stations and Fox News Channel’s news gathering teams." and makes no mention of affiliate stations. This is a project that involves only the O&O group.
Rebrand all the local weather departments under the "Fox Weather" banner (Which would be similar to WeatherPlus) and now you have a unified brand that anyone can appear in front of. Do you really need weekend meteorologists at both WITI and WFLD? Or can you just "regionalize" these markets and do both out of one station from time to time? Oh no! A Tornado warning has been issued on a Sunday morning, and nobody's at the station! Not to worry, the Mothership in NYC has somebody on duty, and they were going to cover the Tornado warning anyways, so they might as well just simulcast Fox Weather on the local FOX O&O.
I would not be the least bit surprised if midway through next year, they announce they're "streamlining" the O&O's and are taking advantage of "operational efficiencies" presented with a network of meteorologists and suddenly some stations lose their weekend/fill in mets. I've said for some time now that Weather and Sports were ripe for hubbing, and I think this might be the start of that.
Completely agreed. I think that, creative and sales will be hubbed.

Cool, I'll be curious to see how well it does. (It will be NBC Weather Plus 2.0, with search lights
)
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.

This is an idea that's waaaaay late. I don't honestly see the point.

First of all, he didn't lie. The FBI Agents themselves even said he didn't lie.
Second of all, Faux News is a neocon outfit. They represent the war division of Government, Inc. and the offshoring division of Globalist, Inc., not Trump's base.
Third, have you heard of selective prosecution? None of the Democrats were hammered for failing to register, namely the Podestas. They went after Flynn to get something on Trump. Flynn didn't have anything because Trump is clean.
But see what I mean about the fake news? That's why only a minority of people believe it anymore. It's just propaganda via the JournOlist for the Deep State. Tegna (since this is the Tegna thread) is a small part of it.
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.

You see, this is where the media has changed. They used to at least try to speak truth to power and tried to expose wrongs committed by "the man." Now the national media is in bed with "the man." Flynn was railroaded. Back in the old days, the media would have caused a stink about railroading people. But I guess now that they are the PR department of Government, Inc. they're not allowed to do that anymore.
This is the worst part about media consolidation. Fewer voices = more of this uniparty garbage.
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.

MSM doesn't push agendas? LOL! What's the old saying about whenever there's a vacuum, something will always go in to fill it? The vacuum is relevant, accurate, unbiased news. Very few places to find it, if any. (And no, I don't mean Faux News, which is neocon central, not to mention boring.) The national news media is the PR department of the largest employer in their company town (the federal government). When you see who is going to be president for the next four years and you see what the MSM has been deliberately hiding from you, it will be the MSM's final nail in the coffin and good riddance. Their baseline assumptions are awful, their propaganda is stale and only a minority of people believe them anymore.
Local media is halfway decent when it comes to news--boring, but decent. But the national media sucks big time.
Enjoy this link because it's not too far off from what's about to unfold. The "Great Awakening" is coming very soon. General Flynn (probably the next President after Trump) and General McInerney are both heavy hitters and the 305th Military Cyber Battalion McInerney mentions in this interview has all the goods on the attempted election steal. Fireworks are coming.
This is all conspiracy theories. The cult of personality isn't going to vote for someone without one.

Ratings are measured on the quarter hour (:00, :15, :30, :45). If there is a super block of news from :00-:15, they don't really care how many people stick around for the remaining 15 min. They just need butts in seats and eyeballs glued at those critical times. It's also why news starts a minute or so before the top and bottom of the hour, to make sure you are firmly in content and your audience is locked when the meter clicks.
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.

What exactly would Nexstar be acquiring in such a transaction? NewsNet has a staff of what, like 15 people of ...questionable qualifications and capabilities, and a cute little broadcast facility in the middle of Michigan. Not gonna happen, just let NewsNet die; the money has to dry up at some point.
NewsNet will be on and off various subchannels for years to come, never lasting more than a few years on any PSIP. When a better subchannel concept comes down, either at a lower cost for the same ratings or at the same cost for higher ratings, NewsNet will be replaced. Why do you think we see several 480i subchannels squeezed onto the frequency instead of a few really strong first-run subchannels in 1080i? Few people watch them. Providing a wider variety of mediocre, often syndicated programming ensures more ad blocks at standard pricing than discounted ad rates on high quality (and more expensive) subchannel programming. There are fewer big fish in a large pond, than several small fish in thousands of small ponds.

Nexstar will not being purchasing NewsNet. NewsNet has a tight 30 minute newscast all originating in Cadillac Michigan, relying on AP and other wire services. It's not leveraging anything that News Nation can't. News Nation can leverage thousands of stations (with any investment) to report news worthy of national attention. NewsNet, on the other hand, relies on the resources of AP, and is never ever having an exclusive. Basically, NewsNet is advert filler.

If you thought that was bad, look at their morning show’s open. It looks like they made it in Windows Movie Maker or something.
Btw, if I saw this show first thing in the morning, it’d probably put me back to sleep. Also, the almanac at the end of the clip is an assault on the eyes. But I guess it has that hometown feel that the people of Cordele, GA apparently love
Grace of god, eh? Too bad no creative sense was imparted by "His" grace.
