Now let's go back to August 1999 in Youngstown, OH. The Primetime News cuts is music to my ears.

WNWO goes Sinclair.

Meanwhile at WKBW longtime host of AM Buffalo and former station announcer Jon Summers has signed off. http://www.wkbw.com/am-buffalo/jon-summers-retirement https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1281995278554350&id=882916411795574

It will be a sad day when both WISH/WOOD are forced to drop the "24hour" name. Also will sad when WOOD is forced to drop "Primetime News" and same goes for WAVY with "Newswire"

Here we go again another retransmission dispute this time with Gray and Dish. http://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/local-tv/gray-television-expects-go-dark-dish-tuesday/162508

Sad day indeed. Tom Holden and Don Guthrie would be rolling over in their grave over this merger.

Truly a sad day in broadcasting. My thoughts and prayers to any employee working at any Media General station.

Gray would be best option for WOAY since they already have WSAZ and WDBJ near by. Soon to have WDTV under ownership.

I'm digging the opens and graphics. So glad to hear "Primetime News" in 2016 as well, 21 years strong.

Local Coverage you may not count on. http://www.yourohiovalley.com/story/33432277/nexstar-broadcasting-president-and-ceo-honored-with-prestigious-award

Legendary former anchor Irv Weinstein announced he is battling ALS. http://www.wkbw.com/news/legendary-wkbw-news-anchor-irv-weinstein-is-battling-als

I lived in the Wheeling Market in 2007 and WTRF was bad then at least they had Jim Forbes. I lived in Charleston-Huntington market for 2 years and WOWK is very professional just needs a new set.

Hopefully Nexstar will invest in the former WV Media stations. This Nexstar graphic grab was added when it started a time brokerage agreement with WV Media.

Could this be the change that was brought up?
