Or if they make it a semi-satellite of KABB.

I know it's been a while since anyone posted on this thread, but I've noticed that Nexstar often intends to finance its acquisitions of stations or companies with cash generated from operations and borrowings under its senior credit facilities and they think that "x market is a natural compliment to our (insert region here) of the United States", not to mention they also say they "intend to build on their rich tradition of localized content and programming and community involvement".

And speaking of which, isn't KRON 4 going to be auctioned off?

When will Tegna fully acquire KGW, WHAS, and KMSB? I checked both KGW and WHAS's websites and neither have the "A Tegna Company" byline meaning that Tegna still hasn't fully acquired any of those three stations.

I wonder if the NBC O&Os will do the same.

Do you think traditional newscasts are going to stick around in the next decade or so seeing as how concepts like NewsFix suck?

Good point

I love kids (though, I know you're an adult from looking at your profile) and no you're not annoying, and I understand your curiosity about the NBC 10 strike. I was wondering if they were still on strike or not myself.

KTXD would've been a part of a duopoly if they hadn't been exempted, except, why were KTXD and KCEB exempted? Also, I was looking at WSFL's website, and it seems that NewsFix is expanding to SFL. http://sflcw.com/2015/09/22/news-fix-starting-monday-10p/

Is WNBC a pain in the ass to WCAU and WVIT in a similar or even the same way? I feel sorry for them too. At least KOVR and KPIX have better synergy with each other than KNBC and KNSD do. And by the way, why doesn't NBC renovate KNSD's equipment and recycle their old equipment? Or will that come with KNSD's movement?

Another reason why CBS 3 has the last laugh nowadays.

Why doesn't Cox, Graham, or even Raycom buy KUSI? Also, KNSD seems to be NBCUniversal's red headed stepchild despite being close to KNBC (since San Diego is geographically LA's neighbor).

That'd be a particular debacle for 84% of Texas if an agreement isn't reached before 6pm in a few days.

Or anyone else who's been paying attention to Scripps and its stations for long enough.

When is NMSA going to expand its archive on news music to news radio stations?

And interestingly, it's at the same time Graham is dropping the "Local (Channel #)" mandate on its stations.

All at once, or gradually?

I was blown away when I was listening to WCBS AM on the CBS Local app and I discovered that the station has First News by Non-Stop Music. I didn't know that it was commissioned for radio, I thought it was just for TV based on the SouthernMedia News Music Archive's lack of info on radio stations.

As will all other Tribune stations, including KDAF, unless they manage to come to an agreement before the expiration date. Same goes with Media General. http://seekingalpha.com/news/2796526-at-and-t-facing-blackout-talks-with-tribune-media-general

And I'd say that I wouldn't be surprised that Fox News or even many of the execs at Sinclair would say that people were playing the political correctness card on WGN seeing as how those two (Fox News and Sinclair, especially the former) are known to be willfully ignorant about some things (including the Star of David's importance in WWII).

I did, and it hasn't, or if it has, it wasn't very clear to me.

When are the stations from Journal going to get the Scripps graphics?

I think WFAA should also get Charlie Van Dyke as their VO.

Has Scripps kept theirs after splitting? And speaking of the Pope being in DC, you know who will be covering this the most? The big four networks (particularly CBS, NBC, and Fox since they own stations in or around the DC area), Gannett (via USA Today), TEGNA (which has a free DC bureau from WUSA), and Sinclair (WJLA, NewsChannel 8, and WBFF all being around the DC area).

Who was the 1st?
