Looks like this may just be a warm-up for them. If so, then it'll be interesting to see where they strike next. I'm calling it now. They may end up with KUBE/Houston. MAY.

The only way Sinclair could get it anyway, even if WBOC was for sale, is if the Tribune acquisition falls through. It's been mentioned several times by myself and others on this site that Sinclair will be over the cap by 6% if the acquisition goes forward. They can't buy anymore.

WTVG wouldn't be the only one called on at Gray. WCTV may be another possible target.

I could see a 7pm newscast. Or maybe Fox 9 News Now.

Exactly. Would Raycom necessarily want to run a standalone indie in Hampton Roads? If they were going to pair it with WTVZ (which in all honesty, is an independent itself), I would understand, though. As I have said before, Raycom and Tegna are the only two I could really see geting involved unless all of the stations are sold in separate sales.

WFTC has unveiled its branding of Fox 9+.

If Sinclair does manage to shell WTVZ thohgh, WSKY is their best and only option.

Not yet. In my opinion.

Or a certain merger happens that will be Nexstar's version of the Sinclair-Tribune deal which will almost certainly never happen. Imagine the conflicts on that one.

Good point. Maybe WCMH is not doing so hot lately and they want to reboot the station as WLWC. And then WDTN could go back to being WLWD.

At least, not without a waiver.

Mission, Marshall, White Knight, Shield, Vaughan, Super Towers. So many dadgum shells.

Thats what I'm thinking they'll do.

I already knew that but maybe someone else (Scripps? Meredith?) Could move in on that one. Tegna and Raycom would be a clean deal for Lockwood.

May as well call it now. Heck, Nexstar will probably pick up WHDF and KTEN as well. If Lockwood plans on leaving the business altogether. But if Tegna got it, they could get KTEN and WSKY in a package deal. WSKY could create a duopoly with WVEC. (That may need additional vetting however to make sure Norfolk can support another duopoly.)

Between Raycom, Tegna and Nexstar, which do you think is the most likely to make a move?

For me, TEGNA is the most likely vote but then Nexstar. Raycom may be the least likely in my opinion.

https://www.mediajobcenter.com/jobs/knoxville-tv-station-for-sale-in-knoxville-tennessee-us/ A few years after selling WBXX to Gray in a trade for KAKE, Lockwood is now ready to say sayonara to WKNX. Anyone see this becoming duopoly bait?

What's Weigel doing buying stations? That's literally the last one I'd expect to be buying anything.

Wow.

I didn't realize he was still on television after you know what.

http://www.tvnewscheck.com/mobile/index/article/id/105995 Is this their answer to The Real or what? The article says that it will be produced out of WATL and have four co-hosts and a DJ (similar to how Ellen does) who will provide a guy's POV. It will air in 12 Tegna markets including Atlanta and air nationally on TV One, which when I last checked, was partially owned by NBC Universal.

Y'all here we go again with this.

We won't know until stuff starts happening. Only God or whoever you believe in has the answer until then.

Didn't sign a JSA, huh? What do we make of this, then? And what does Deerfield want with that station anyway?
