I'm not in the New Orleans area, I'm in Shreveport but I wouldn't have blamed them for doing it. I would imagine most of the other CBS affiliates in areas where the Saints have preseason presence probably suffered too. However, WWL has made no secret of it's displeasure at being forced to air the bowl. A look at it's Facebook page and replies to comments will tell you everything you need to know.

Speaking for all of us Who Dats, We were certainly not dissapointed by what happened last night. Of course, a lot of us never watched.

That could just be a relay for KBTX's CW subchannel. There is precedent to that because KNOE's CW subchannel is rebroadcast on KCWL, and Gray does this in several other markets where they operate.

I think they'll just move the CW over to KNCT for some reason. I don't agree with the whole Telemundo thing that everyone has been saying.

And then look who is the main one retweeting about Chris Bradley. Could this shit be any more fucked up than it is? Thank God he was at WBNS when this happened, or Sinclair probably would have fired him on the day of his funeral. I apologize if this offends anyone but someone has to point out the hypocrisy here. I can't be the only one who sees this.

If she isn't snapped up by a larger market first. And these are the people who we're supposed to let own every station in America.

How do you know that WHDT will become a top 4 station as a Fox affiliate? It's never universal that the Top 4 will consist of Fox, CBS, NBC and ABC. Chicago, Miami, Fresno, San Antonio, El Paso, St. Louis and Hampton Roads (the latter two of which alternate, staying in those spots just long enough for certain combinations to be approved), show that very well.

You can just dump that off on anyone that'll put some programming on it that would otherwise be on a digital subchannel.

Did they buy the CW or MyNetwork affiliation from Sinclair behind the scenes? That's just about the only reason I could come up with for why Scripps would want WHDT unless they plan on moving WFLX's unit to that channel. I mean, this is out of left field, here.

You can't with these people. At first this was a soap opera, then this veered into Telenovela territory....and then sitcom territory......and now I think we've reached animated sitcom about a dumbass idiot territory

I'm a bit skeptical about bringing in a fresh face to a station like WFAA. I'm curious as to what stopped Wheeler from getting the position.

First, KJRH and now WEWS. I really hope Scripps can realize that this isn't the way to do things. Otherwise, I feel sorry for Cordillera, KXXV, WTXL and potentially Tribune or Cox as well.

No. We still have it on KSLA.

It was reported on TVNT and another news website that KSLA got rid of their Sunday morning newscasts. That's not true because I watched recently and they had it on. Just making sure y'all know.

Better yet, why don't they do a live one since KDFW is now the only one on at Noon and theirs is only 30 minutes. However, if you see Nexstar or some dark horse candidate that would be willing to invest in a news department getting the station, that's less of a sure thing.

If there was ever a time CBS/KTXA could get back in the game, it's now. I was actually a fan of their primetime news block. This is the perfect opportunity to try again. More than likely, this is wishful thinking, though.

What does being a Vikings fan have to do with anything?

I only remember Rowlett from KTVT. One of the best. It's a shame how WFAA did him.

In the Gannett years, KOCO did a noon newscast. To be honest, It's about time they reentered the noon game. That and adding a 4pm show.

I hope they can make a comeback. Scripps isn't that bad of an owner but they just make careless mistakes.

They can't be any worse than any of the Sinclair stations in the state, right?

It's better than what they were doing.

And it's even worse off because it's not even locally produced in Washington. They'd have been better off going to WRC or someone local for a newscast.

Okay. Message deleted. lol.

At least they won't have to almost swap licenses to acquire it, unlike a certain company that once operated a CBS affiliate in Buffalo.
