It was mentioned in the FCC filings that the agreements concerning WRSP, WCCU and WBUI are also going to be transferred to Rincon as well. That personally doesn't surprise me.

What makes you say this? Just curious.

I have been predicting this since WSWG got sold to Marquee. And this won't be the last one either.

This counts double due to the Cunningham ownership. Hell, does Newsmax or Real America's Voice or The Blaze show this stuff?

Please don't speak this into existence.

This had been one of my fears whenever everyone was rooting for Allen to buy Tegna. I could tell from the programming that they put out that they were cheap as hell and would run everything on a shoestring budget. I was hoping that I would be wrong but look at what's happening now. I don't mean to sound pessimistic or be a "I-told-you-so" but what's happening at these stations is truly pathetic. How do you expect to be able to serve a market effectively if you're not actually based there? Allen is unfit to hold any broadcast license. This makes me sick to my stomach.

And then I think some of those Chelsey stations ended up with Gray anyway but that's probably besides the point. But I hope the Allen stations aren't gonna be screwed to the point of no return. This is nightmarish.

Maybe they could take the opportunity to move everything to Missouri.

I thought Holly Brantley was based in Cape Girardeau? She's the anchor of the show. I guess they didn't move it to Cape Girardeau.

Isn't Standard trying to expand KBSI's news operation locally in the Cape?

At least that would be first run content, at least for those who don't bother to put a free app on their TV.

I'm hoping they get a new news package or some new graphics to mark this. But that's just me.

KTAL, WOAI and associated companion stations sure do, though.

I watched all of em and liked em but One on One, Moesha and The Parkers were the best.

No, ARC West Michigan is the brand they'll take once they lose CW. It'll just be an independent. Why they chose that name, I don't know.

I'm just surprised WRBL isn't also getting it.

If I may add to this discussion, I literally make more money as a college student, working a 17-an-hour job than some journalists and meteorologists THAT HAVE degrees too. One station was trying to hire a meteorologist for eight an hour. A Bakersfield TV station was offering 15 an hour to a reporter who would also have to anchor and sometimes even PRODUCE. What does all this tell you? Oh and the grocery stores and fast food restaurants pay no less than $15 as well without a degree.

The fact that Coastal plays shell for Allen in Tupelo-Columbus gives me hope (and I cannot believe I'm saying that in this context) that Coastal would turn over operations to Forum. But the higher ups have really cracked down. If Forum had a mind like a few other people around here, they'd have bought the non license assets in Fargo and made WDAZ the Fox station.

This. So much this.

KOCO was one, WBMA was another.

THAT RIGHT THERE. So, let's just say this was all without an affiliation agreement. Well then, at any point, Nexstar themselves could have easily pulled the affiliation. But let's say that Nexstar and Adell had gotten into it after the CW began airing WWE and acquiring whatever other events and then Nexstar had pulled the affiliation and gave it to whoever. Adell would STILL be crying nonsense. This is the man that had a major network affiliation in 1994 all but handed to him on a gold (never mind silver) platter but managed to mess that up and sent them to a station no one knew existed and is just now relevant. Adell is what would have happened had Weigel been run by wackos and it's an insult to even mention Weigel in this post.

Oh for crying out loud!!!!

I admit I'm surprised more stations don't do this and that this wasn't a thing when UPN and WB were in operation. At least this would have technically been good for ratings.

CBS is sorry as hell for this. At this point just do edited versions of past Paramount hits. I wanna know which executive decided that (insert Paramount show here) was not a good idea and this was. They honestly could just try to temporarily import Clone High (i know its technically on Max but still) and a few other shows to temporarily compete against Fox (if on Sundays or Mondays) or Adult Swim (if in late night) for example, if it's this bad. Do a special late night Drew Barrymore or something. It's one thing to recycle content but at least show something that's relevant.

WDEF had a dude that was from Ireland (I think). Don't know if he anchored much though.
