    This is extremely heinous beyond many levels.....

    Isn't Jane Robelot the same anchor who once worked at WCAU, WGCL and CBS News?

    What would happen if viewers suddenly don't like the Sinclair stations and want to switch to a different station, how would it affect the ratings and revenue? (I know, I don't make any sense of what question I just brought up.)
  4. detroiter313
    Or Nexstar for that matter.
  5. detroiter313
    You might be right. AT&T did have a 45% share in LIN Broadcasting, which spun off its TV holdings as LIN TV Corporation in 1994. AT&T acquired McCaw Cellular Communications the same year.

    Is the new name supposed to be the local version of World News Tonight ?
  7. detroiter313
    Could this mean WFLD will finally be #1 in mornings and 9pm? Hmm...I'm going to cross my fingers on this one..
  8. detroiter313
    That sounds reasonable, but IF they do buy KWGN, Channel 2 would have shut down its news department in favor of newscasts produced by KCNC.
  9. detroiter313
    Makes you wonder if they're taking a page out of Scripps' handbook and dump syndicated shows in favor of "homegrown" shows...

    KTXD, along with sister station KCEB were exempted from the deal.
  11. detroiter313
    And yet WDIV is still using the "Local" part on its branding.
  12. detroiter313
    Chances are if Sinclair or Nexstar tried to buy WWJ/WKBD, they probably wouldn't start with news right away, given Viacom/CBS's failures to establish a news department. Of course, Sinclair already owns plenty of stations in Michigan, while Nexstar has no Michigan presence. Even with WEVV returning to the news game come next month, WWJ, along with Sinclair-owned WTWC, would still be the only stations among others still without news, and that's one heck of anamoly that many of us in this forum are still trying to figure out. Hope I'm wrong about this.
  13. detroiter313
    Or how about Nexstar takes over KTXD (just a wishful thinking sugestion that's unlikely to happen)
  14. detroiter313
    Yes, since 1997, the year Fox completed its acquisition of stations formerly owned by New World.
  15. detroiter313
    I tend to agree with some of you, this "Blue Helio" stuff is nothing but a wild goosechase. Until somebody (or someone) from the news industry comfirms which company is behind the graphics for WCBS, KIMT, KOIN?, WLEX and others, we'll have to label the company as an "unknown" from this point.

    Let's see..what would be the new website for KLAS? How about wearelasvegas.com, wearenevada.com, or lasvegasmatters.com?
  17. detroiter313
    Big question: How can the FCC fine Newport Television, when Newport has been defunct as of June 1 of last year when they sold its stations to Sinclair, Nexstar and Cox?
  18. detroiter313
    Yes, it ran from 1988 to 1990. The series was bombarded with low raitings and negative reviews throughout its entire run of one and a half seasons.

    Jay Towers has been named co-anchor of Fox 2 News Morning after 10 years of anchoring weekend news for the Fox O&O station in Detroit. http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/jay-towers-promoted-to-wjbk-morning-news_b127289

    I wonder what the Gannett graphics will look like on 24/7 (KTVB's digital subchannel), NewsWatch 15 (WWL's cable news channel) and TXCN?
  21. detroiter313
    Most of the Gannett stations don't, except for WTLV and WJXX, which go by "NBC 12" and "ABC 25" respectably.
  22. detroiter313
    So have I.
  23. detroiter313
    And hopefully, the composer behind the KTLA 2005 News Theme!!
  24. detroiter313
    Does this mean the rest of the Scripps-owned stations will get new websites as well?
  25. detroiter313
    Looks like Katie Couric (co-anchor from 1991-2006), Meredith Vieira (co-anchor from 2006-2011), and Ann Curry (co-anchor from 2011-2012) is not invited for the year-end show, isn't it?
