Keep in mind that CBS Mornings is going to be using this set soon. It's fine for the morning news but the flagship morning show?

It's not like they can't return to 1515 Broadway since you know, the casino got killed but of course, that costs money so... GMA's and Today's/Nightly News' set looks better than this hot garage.

Obviously they're willing to take away a miniscule budget for public broadcasting just so they can give the rich tax breaks so this is to be expected. I'm really disappointed that NJ PBS is shutting down.

so KSBW has the only news department I'm the market now right?

They would still have NBC, CBS and FOX affiliates though.

How long can they not play nice for before their deal with ABC is toast?

I'm still upset Disney decided to settle with DeSantis instead of fighting for what's right. That was the beginning of the end for Disney as we knew it.

I thought Sinclair would pull the trigger first. Who knew Nexstar would end up doing it. I'm fearing this will get traction to the point where Kimmel is gone. Who knows if anything is going to happen to Fallon but crazier things have happened lately.

What I'm trying to prove is the only difference between the two stations is the news programming and branding. There is nothing regarding differences in scheduling, both stations air the same type of programming on the same times. It wouldn't be a problem for me if it were a station in a market further away from Boston but you can see the station from Boston and vice versa. And it's a low number channel. I'm wondering how it's possible that Hearst can run two stations with different news departments but identical schedules and overlapping signals. That's my main beef.

corporate would like for you to notice if there's any difference between the two images.

Soo Kim was unlucky when he tried to purchase Tegna. He would of succeeded in this current administration but not the previous one.

do keep in mind that WCVB and WMUR can both be seen in Boston and have the same network affiliation.

how will people be able to tell the difference between the two stations now?

And I thought NewsNation was bad.

Reading this. I do not get why Rusty or whatever his name is going to be in a few months is trying to make a point about this one station when it's obvious that the television market is becoming heavily consolidated and no new owners are popping up. It's not like Scripps could make the best out of that station so they took the ball home. If anything, Rusty should actually own a station and feel how hard it is to make a station successful in this market. Just look at the Cadillac, MI failure NewsNet.

Not when politicians can use prescripted statements to avoid answering anything. They pulled this on ABC's This Week in 2017.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Since MAGA controls the FCC. Might as well for them to abandon the pretense.

I doubt there is any audience for a straight news channel on cable anymore. Every cable channel is partisan to certain degrees. The only place to get straight news now is on streaming.

Everyday it feels like broadcast TV is less and less of an interesting medium. Just look at all the consolidation happening. It's like what happened to FM radio in the late-90s/early-00s.

just checked. it redirects now.

I just read the conversation and I thought it was getting sold to WINK. I honestly do not know if the news department will be kept but there is a slim chance it might be kept because the only other station they own is a CW affiliate. Fingers crossed though.

I heavily doubt anybody wants to invest time or money in areas where too much competition exists. Nowadays to find success and stability is like a lottery.

Oh damn. I can't believe the amount of hate Shari got. What is wrong with people?

It's a bogus argument to be honest. There were online alternatives but the truth is those online alternatives are not any better. Plus they can take an establishment like the LA Weekly and turn it into crap so it's whatever.
