    But they would keep KUSA and spin off KDVR/KWGN to Fox in a heartbeat.

    It's the GMs decision about when/if to launch that... Part of the business integration process. I feel that, though, the Dispatch layout is superior and I think both GMs have that opinion as well.

    Their performance is the result of strong profit margins, but not better content. You can still be profitable and not provide any value to anyone other than current shareholders. They aren't providing a superior product, just lower costs. So did KUSA, finally.

    And yet... https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tegna-announces-strong-preliminary-first-100000110.html

    I, too, am really skeptical of Kim, but the facts are clear. Tegna's stock is around $10 a share. They posted strong first quarter profits but are still furloughing workers. Management continues to make unpopular decisions and they continue to undervalue their top 20 assets. This is a huge issue for shareholders. While it may make a sweet deal for any potential M&A who see what the raw station assets can be spun into, it means persistent undervalue of station employees. This is the biggest thing that drives me crazy about capitalism. Put your employees first and everything else will follow.

    Dave Lougee was the GM of KUSA. That's the last station he would sell.

    Depends on how the ownership is split among the financiers.
  8. ABC 7 Denver
    Short sighted? That's the long game. They are switching to a pure-play content creation model because distribution is no longer lucrative.
  9. ABC 7 Denver
    Internal. Can't comment because of breach of contract.
  10. ABC 7 Denver
    Uh, Apollo? Allen Media? AT&T is conflicted, so that's out. And yet, CBS is looking to spin off their entire O&O television group. This is what the ViacomCBS merger was about.
  11. ABC 7 Denver
    No. This isn't a knockoff. It's a standard. This is like saying WNEM's graphics are a CBS O&O knockoff because it's the same package. Fox stations around the county use this logo we call it the 'Fox Box'. If you're going to blame KXPI for using it, then blame the dozens of other Fox affiliates who've used it as well. I will point out that the biggest inconsistency here is '5' font.

    It's not a full-time gig though and costs the stations money. Also with the map technology available, anyone can create a traffic report. It's better to offload it onto someone with fewer duties.
  13. ABC 7 Denver
    Because that job can typically be combined with another role. Unlike Meteorology, traffic doesn't require a degree.

    They should have Colbert guest host.
  15. ABC 7 Denver
    The branding wouldn't get any better though.
  16. ABC 7 Denver
    Why did they kill the licensing agreement?
  17. ABC 7 Denver
    Ew. Alright. I'll have to check that. My issues tends to be that KMGH has terrible interference on 7.1 and although it has a stronger signal on 30.3 (KZCO-LD), not all of my systems will see that signal. Though strangely, I get KKTV and I live in Douglas.

    There is something I'm generally confused about. Why was the Fox deal only approved with the sale of the Fox RSNs? Fox owns FS1-3, and though it wasn't included in the deal, the RSNs could have been a great side-car for ESPN. Since FS1-3 and ESPN are cable nets, I can't see why the FEC wouldn't have approved the RSNs sold to Disney as ESPN RSNs.
  19. ABC 7 Denver
    I think I'll skip that, thanks.

    Tail Number N606TV.
  21. ABC 7 Denver
    They informally rotate. There is another partner which would be Newsradio KOA, who's licensed to my hometown ironically. https://denver.cbslocal.com/2016/06/20/john-morrissey-colon-cancer-screening-koa/ https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2020/1/14/grounded-in-atlanta
  22. ABC 7 Denver
    It's a 2003 Eurocopter AS-350 AStar (single-turboshaft). Tail Number N6UX. It has an internal name at the local stations. If I read you into it, I'd have to kill you. I don't make up the rules. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N6UX Interestingly, the Bell 407, tail #N2QU, that's currently grounded for WSB-TV, used to fly in Denver under the tail #N90TV for KUSA.

    2 different WOI-5 logos in 5 years. Wow. And only providing food to staff out of a vending machine. Stay classy, Tegna.
  24. ABC 7 Denver
    Really? What gave you that idea?
  25. ABC 7 Denver
    Oh thank god! She can go the f*ck away!
