The Frog

Looks like KDFI isn't far behind. They recently moved MyNet out of prime time.

Launch lineup of KidsClick that will air on Sinclair stations: http://thecwtc.com/news/local/kidsclick

It's definitely looking better than the Litton E/I crap: http://kidsclicktv.com/ http://www.toonbarn.com/other-cartoons/take-sneak-peek-shows-headed-kidsclick-new-network-tv-morning-cartoon-block/ The shows are a mix of old and new. Some of them are making their U.S. broadcast debuts. It's a little surprising. This looks like an actual effort at reviving Saturday (and weekday) morning cartoons by Sinclair.

Nobody likes paperwork.

Fox rebrands WDCA as 'Fox 5 Plus' http://www.tvnewscheck.com/article/103316/fox-rebrands-wdca-as-fox-5-plus

WHTV has sold its spectrum and will go off the air on April 30th. http://my18.tv/

Of Sinclair's 173 stations, 93 will be repacked and 3 of them have been sold in the spectrum auction. Other tidbits from their earnings call: The Comet diginet has been profitable for them since launch, and they expect to roll out ATSC 3.0 in 2018. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/edited-transcript-sbgi-earnings-conference-015439583.html

FTVLive is reporting that Sinclair and Meredith are interested in buying Tribune's stations, contingent on cap space opening up. http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2017/2/23/are-the-tribune-stations-in-trouble

According to FTVLive, Nexstar is stuck with KRON thanks to the spectrum auction being a bust.

Local listings show them simulcasting their H&I subchannel.

The DOJ has made a ruling. Nexstar must divest the following stations in order to proceed with their acquisition of Media General. WBAY Green Bay, to Gray Television Inc. WSLS Roanoke-Lynchburg, to Graham Holdings KADN and KLAF-LD Lafayette, to Bayou City Broadcasting Lafayette WTHI Terre Haute, to USA Television MidAmerica Holdings WFFT Fort Wayne, to USA Television KWQC Quad Cities, to Gray Television http://www.tvnewscheck.com/article/97455/justice-nexstar-must-divest-7-stations

Well, I only heard about it when WSAV made the official announcement on their website today. Sorry I wasn't aware of your...blog.

(Posting here because this station will end up with Nexstar) WSAV has acquired the CW affiliation for their 3.2 subchannel. The current MyNetworkTV/Me-TV combo on there is being moved to 3.3. This leaves locally owned WGSA without a network and likely spectrum bait. http://wsav.com/2016/08/02/wsav-proud-to-announce-wsav-cw-beginning-september-12/

Nexstar has renewed their affiliation agreements with The CW: http://www.tvnewscheck.com/article/90942/cw-and-nexstar-sign-new-affiliation-deal

Sinclair has renewed their CBS and CW affiliations. http://www.tvnewscheck.com/article/86775/sinclair-renews-cbs-cw-affiliation-deals

There's no official Gray thread, so I'll start one with the flurry of deals that happened today: http://www.tvnewscheck.com/article/86603/gray-in-4-new-deals-closes-3-earlier-ones

From Sinclair's Q2 2014 earnings call, they expect to close on the acquisition of WGXA on September 1.

Any idea when WFAA is getting them?
