  1. I would think they would sell to one company to get the deal done, but Scripps has turned into a big joke just like TEGNA. I think at the time Wolfes will keep both stations in their hands, but I do think down the road they will sell. I was told the children don't want the business. However, the family has alot in real estate.
  2. No here hoping that BNS would never be Scripps orbit. Hearst would keep the legacy alive!
  3. Here hoping Hearst would buy BNS/THR. An employee at BNS said they would love to see that, because of Hearst' strong ownership. I agreed with them, because I wanted TEGNA to get BNS/THR but TEGNA flirting with Nexstar(no bueno ) on that idea.
  4. Nexstar to buy TEGNA (pls let this just be a regular Tuesday/Wednesday rumor) https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2017/4/26/nexstar-to-buy-tegna

  6. Here a story for you tv newshounds. From Newsblues 4.11.2017 http://www.gossipextra.com/2017/04/10/cbs4-cameraman-sues-race-religious-discrimination-jim-defede-fat-6935/ Wilfred Ardley (aka Muhamad Hassan) a news photog for 26 years at CBS-owned WFOR-4 in Miami (Market #16), has sued the station for religious, racial, and age discrimination. Ardley/Hassan, 57, who is a Black Muslim, claims he was demoted for calling veteran reporter Jim DeFede "fat" and for making him look "big on camera," according to Gossip Extra. DeFede weighs close to 400 pounds. Ardley, a former Florida A&M football player, claims he has suffered from a pattern of discrimination which has caused "stress" and "emotion discomfort." He says one of his colleagues once asked, "What's wrong with your people?" when Muslims were in the news. Ardley claims he was also asked if he was going to "shoot up the place." <<<>>>
