ABC 7 Denver

** David Zaslav, who's a hack.

Sounds like WCPM to me. I recognize their instrumentation and the overlay of the EWN sig is peak laziness indicating WCPM.

Then even more! Pay your journalists more than minimum wage.

I'd argue that if you set runs $200-$300K, you should invest that in more journalists.

Again, as I said, there's been no data indicating a ratings bump because of it.

Sets are a big waste of money.

No. It does look stupid, but it's because Cox doesn't have a clue.

2013. It was holding up nicely and sets cost a lot and don't contribute to a ratings bump.

It's already in the pipeline. KCNC didn't need a new set. https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/pictures/cbs-colorado-new-set-construction-behind-the-scenes/

CBS doesn't care about uniqueness. They prefer complete brand alignment.

It looks like an update of the previous set but with new flooring. I'll be interested to see what the anchor desk looks like.

That won't happen though. In the CNBC article that I shared, it said, In that case, Sony would have kept Paramount and the studios, while Apollo would have taken CBS - and likely would have started to sell it for parts like they have done with Cox stations, maybe even reorganizing Cox stations around CBS.

Dude, environmental disaster recovery have been a reasonable possibilities for decades! Are you saying that it's somehow more likely because of the climate crisis? I'm not sure it's going impact stations in isolation. Many cities will need investment to rebuild.

And you can see how well SBC has done as AT&T Mobility. Cell service still largely relies on POTS and ISP provide the data services (coming from a former Lumen Network Eng ) We've seen consolidation, but companies like Lumen Technologies, Comcast, Dish, Charter, Cox, Frontier, Altice USA, and several hundreds of other LECs wouldn't exist without the AT&T breakup.

The irony here is that Fox has a 17.6% minority state in FanDuel

Not with the way that Skydance produces sequels as almost half their projects. The deal will be confirmed this week. Just pushing this ahead of the announcement.

Finally! The bug is aligned.

CSD: But we stole ABC's network slate design! GM: NO ONE WILL KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

No no. They are going to crap too: https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2024/5/1/more-on-the-allen-media-massacre https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2024/4/29/allen-media-swings-the-ax https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2024/5/7/no-more-401k

Imagine if it's Imagicomm Communication, Costal Television and Standard that buy up these stations. Honestly though, I wouldn't be surprised if it's Cox Media Group underwritten by Apollo.

No one has lauded Sinclair for their shrewd operations.

Why haven't they remapped the PSIP to a UHF signal? It's the Deleware Valley for crying out loud and cable is dying. Fewer people will be watching PVI if they aren't subscribed to cable and can't watch OTA. Even Comcast knows this basic.

KWGN wouldn't have a news department without KDVR. If KDVR is sold, is Nexstar going to establish a news department? That seems unlikely given the cost of living in Denver. Why wouldn't Fox continue an JSA/LMA?
