  1. I'd assume once those stations are done, they will slowly work on the ex-Quincy stations.
  2. With the peak severe weather season coming, Fox Weather will have its big chance to show its strength. It's clear that severe weather is a big weakness for TWC.
  3. Unless WAND comes up on the market, they have no pathway there.
  4. WSAV is still 2nd in ratings in the market, or has WJCL passed them? (I know WTOC is far ahead of both of them)
  5. Fox Weather should go out and promote the fact that they are always there. I know TWC tends to treat severe weather as a secondary thought, especially at night or on weekends.
  6. It definitely appears that Fox Weather does a lot better during severe weather events, especially on weekends. They are willing to run 24/7 where TWC fails miserably.
  7. The old Meredith website template is extinct as the last three stations - WNEM, KVVU and WALA - now have the Gray template.
  8. KCTV, WSMV and WHNS now have the new template.
  9. The ex-Meredith stations appear to have all got the Gray template on their websites today. Edit: KMOV, KPHO, KPTV, WFSB, WGCL and WGGB have. KCTV, KVVU, WALA, WHNS and WNEM have not yet.
  10. That would likely be a WBRC satellite, as that is on the fringe of the coverage area.
  11. I wonder if we will know more about the firing.
  12. I didn't hear about that! I figured Fox would be the least likely of the networks to unload the O&O's. And with a Tegna purchase, that would be an impossible candidate.
  13. At first when I saw that name, I thought they were buying WRAL in Raleigh...
  14. I wonder if they will also keep the Tegna name? Regardless, hedge fund owners are always bad news.
  15. I'm guessing the previous syndication contracts last until next summer. They likely won't move to the new Gray stations until next fall.
  16. Admittedly, their current logo is a step towards the logo they had in the 1990s. They deviated greatly from it for a while with blue versions. But I agree.
  17. I think the signals in Huntsville are on Hytop, which is to the east of the city?
  18. I think the FCC and DOJ will have a handful here. This looks like a potential Sinclair-Tribune 2.0 with those question marks. Agreed, Jacksonville will get a lot of scrutiny and I think they will have to sell one of them.
  19. Does Nashville have a Spanish-language news operation? That could be a potential opportunity for WSMV to set up.
  20. That could be the beginning of the big groups actually buying the networks - and pulling Baton-style hostile takeovers.
  21. The one in Macon is a bit puzzling. It's the one Georgia market that there is no Gray presence in, but barring a trade, there is currently no realistic pathway into the market.
  22. It also shows how much Meredith neglected the station. The timing now couldn't be better, since WSB is not the 100-ton gorilla it was due to Apollo and WXIA has been a disaster under Tegna. It seems they are trying to play mostly with WAGA.
  23. Ocala is technically in the Orlando market, but close enough that they'd be interested in a WCJB signal there. I'd think one of the Gainesville signals would be to pool up affiliations (maybe give its CW affiliation a full HD signal as a separate channel).
  24. It makes little difference in such small markets, since it barely adds 0.1 or 0.2 points for Scripps - not enough to get into even one mid-sized market.
  25. Good luck finding a way to get TV air time locally. I doubt KXII will air his ads when he is on a crusade against them, and hopefully KTEN won't pick up the slack either.
