Their must runs only add insult to injury.

They are based in Plano, and some of the Media General stations were already using Steven Arnold themes. Then again, I do see your point.

I guess they figured out that the localportalhomepage.net format was just a stupid fad after all.

Hopefully it's at around the same time frame as Daily Blast Live.

Actually, no they wouldn't. They are piling on Sinclair, even though Nexstar donated to Hiliary Clinton during the 2016 election cycle.

Maybe in a few years they'll sever the umbilical cord with KOLD. But for now, they'll have to stick with them.

It should just sever the umbilical cord with KOLD and have newscasts of its own like it sort of used to, and KNAZ should at least have the same subchannels that KPNX has even if they're not going to have newscasts of their own anytime soon, which I think they should.

How long until that happens?

When is KMSB severing the umbilical cord with KOLD and getting its own newscasts?

In Nexstar's defense, live streaming really isn't that cheap. I mean, live streaming with broadcast quality cameras? Those don't come cheap, not to mention legacy media isn't as alive as it once was. Then again, Nexstar could've at least kept the livestreams of stations that already had them.

NMSA lists the news music KFDM used here as a cut from First News by Non Stop: That doesn't sound like First News or any of its themes. Its signature doesn't pop up anywhere in the open or the close at all. Sounds more like production music. And what is the news music KFDM used on this clip called?

Yeah. It's already been 10 years. They should get a new theme. I wouldn't be surprised that KDFW is next to switch to Beyond seeing as how Stephen Arnold Music is headquartered locally.

They're more likely to have WFAA, KHOU, KENS, and KXAN as flagships (they're sisters in the same state and the first station listed is also in the same DMA Nexstar is headquartered in) than to have WXIA.

I know that WDIV used a certain cut of First News for the Newsbeat at 5 from 1989-90 to 2002 (Local First News at 5 for 2000-2002), but did any other station use that same cut at all? For reference, here's an open from the Newsbeat at 5 from 1990:

You know what? At this point, I'm tired of coming back to political tv threads just to be branded as insane! Well as Apple once said, here's to the crazy ones bitches!!! But seriously, it's easy to say that sinclair is acting like a bully and a baby to the critics, but once you get called insane so many times, ignoring that shit just makes it even worse!!! And I never thought I'd have the displeasure of saying this but, Sinclair has to grow. Every fucking station group does nowadays thanks to digital media (including Youtube and Netflix)! And sinclair has balls that most other station groups dont have. Trust me, I dont like that station group either, but they're a necessary evil if we want to win this culture war against modern day leftists (especially against Antifa). Actually, I take that sentence back. Sinclair isn't that neccessary anymore with local tv slowly but surely dying off and the viewers that are still watching slowly dying off with it. And besides, I wouldn't be caught dead with Bill O'Riley anywhere with me anyway. No. Instead, the Youtube skeptic community such as Sargon of Akkad, James Allsup, and Lauren Southern, are quite possibly our last hope in winning this culture war. Look, I dont try to hide my biases like the media often does, and sometimes even sinclair in painfully obvious ways. In fact, by now since I said it far too many times, it should be clear what my biases are and there really is no such thing as truly unbiased journalism despite what people think. Again, people will more that likely think I'm a fucking wacko but, here's to the fucking wackos shitheads!!! Sorry, I sort of got carried away here, but my points still stand.
