The Santa Maria Times reports that Cowles will retain KCOY for now but that there will be a shared services agreement.

Fox has renewed MyNetworkTV through 2016. http://www.tvnewscheck.com/article/70539/fox-stations-reup-mnt-through-2016

This will make it even more interesting if Nexstar buys Granite, because all five major network affiliations in Binghamton would be controlled by one company, similar to what would happen in Peoria.

This sale makes sense in a way, since this station has been in receivership for over a year and the Rio Grande Valley has a large hispanic population. But most Telemundo O&O's are located in top 50 markets, and the networks have been divesting smaller-market stations in recent years, so i'm not sure why NBC would want a station in such a small market.

Lockwood appears to be starting to make some changes at WSKY, even though it hasn't completed the sale yet. It has named John Cochrane as general manager. He was previously the general sales manager at WCSC in Charleston, SC and director of sales at WAVY and WVBT in Hampton Roads, VA. http://www.tvnewscheck.com/article/70350/john-cochrane-named-gm-of-wsky

They have also granted the KGWN/KSTF application.

She will be a morning anchor at KMGH. http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/kellie-patterson-to-join-kmgh-in-denver-as-morning-anchor_b102714

They'll probably update the graphics once they reach a deal to acquire the Granite stations and they consolidate WIVT's operations into the WBNG facility.
