The deception here is loud. You really expect us to believe that WWMT, WOIO and several Christian, PBS and low powered stations probably (literally) ran out of people's basement are a threat?? And wanting to own 5 stations in Little Rock? It's honestly a miracle KATV didn't go the way of it's little brother in Tulsa. That was a second place station and used to be dominant and Sinclair merged it with an also ran in Oklahoma City who in the mornings, even manages to get beat by a newly minted CW station. I quite literally laughed out loud reading this. And we thought Sinclair and Tribune were a threat..... To use Sinclairs own words to describe the Nexstar-Tegna deal, this is dangerous to our democracy. That and them buying Scripps.

Is WOLF still producing that excuse for a newscast?

I'd go as far as saying they can either keep the two they currently have as is snd sell WTHR or if they want WTHR, they have to sell WXIN and WTTV, and to separate owners.

They don't mention Waco in the filing either

What the hell is going on at KTUL? Not that there's much of KTUL in the first place.

Homestly, they should have just given Damon the job in the first place. What I would give to see what he's quietly thinking right now.

I can confirm KTBS won't be boycotting Kimmel. For that matter, WICS and WDAY aren't either.

What kind of concessions.

The damage has definitely been done. Sinclair is not about to be having any ABC affiliated stations come renewal time. I'm gonna call it now.

That part. Could not have said it better.

Especially when you're a grown man handling this in a very inappropriate manner. We are all gonna have different opinions and that's nothing we can't handle but to talk to us in a condescending way makes you look bad. Not to mention going overboard. This isn't even the first time he's done this.

Circle City is the only owner, other than Allen, that I can think of that's perhaps even worse than Sinclair.

Also, can we talk about the tantrums and the slurs that a certain person is throwing. Is this how grown people handle things? No amount of talking to people like they're beneath you is gonna make you look good.

If you really wanted to see a show, imagine if theyd have been sold to Sinclair, Apollo or Allen.

Thank you!! Would we be saying the same thing if Nexstar had bought WBBH and in the process, moved a certain network to a WBBH subchannel? I know that doesn't mean much but them having three network affiliations would still stand.

Who's yall? Don't put me in with them. Be that as it may, if the logic of Hearst selling all non number one stations is allowed to be entertained then stations like KOCO would be on the block. Also, aren't they second in Pittsburgh and Baltimore as well, or did KDKA and WJZ fall from grace? Last I heard, those were the top dogs.

Besides, no matter how much asslicking (excuse my language), someone does with the FCC or DOJ, that means nothing. Or did we forget what happened with Sinclair. And did we also forget that debacle with Soo Kim, Leon Black and Tegna and Cox.

I'm gonna say this with all due respect. The idea of suggesting that Hearst would shut down an ABC and NBC station is, for lack of a better term, insanity. Yes, what WINK, Sun, whatever you wanna call them, is doing is insane and there is no reason for someone to have that much blatant control over a market. However, Hearst knew or should have known going in how powerful WINK was and how weak WFTX might be. Also, suggesting they sell WBBH to the McBrides is just as insane. Hearst is 2nd and 3rd place in several cities. Should we expect a sale of WLWT, WAPT and KHBS next?

Why do you insist they sell CBS?

Does he live in Nebraska?

I miss it.

I remember when USA was basically a superstation competitor or may as well have been.

It was gonna happen sooner or later.

Bonus points if Cox is the survivor or at least has more influence.
