    Any word on what happened to the T.D. Jakes Show and whether it was successful or not?

    And WFLD sinking so low that it's drowning is because Fox still had its news operation as "Fox News Chicago" by 2006 (when it got the Fox O&O V1 graphics and it didn't rebrand back into Fox 32 until a few years ago with the arrival of the Fox O&O V3 graphics), which may have confused many people in Chicagoland into thinking it's Fox News in Chicago even though Fox O&O Stations and FNC are two completely different subsidiaries of Fox, and thus causing even less people to watch it. And it's still harboring the repercussions that it suffered from the "Fox News Chicago" era.

    KNSD is owned and operated by the network that advocates recycling, and ironically, they don't seem to recycle their worn mics. Someone should point that out to NBCUniversal.

    Scripps does it with some of their ABC stations, (WMAR ABC 2, KNXV ABC 15, and KGTV ABC 10 for example).

    If Hearst was going to buy any more stations, my best bet would be that they'd buy every station from Graham Media Group (except WKMG, which is in a market where Hearst owns a duopoly, which they could divest the station to Tegna). They have solid news departments and, in the case of KSAT 12, WDIV, and WJXT, are even news leaders, so Hearst buying them would be an investment that would be worthwhile and bring even more revenue because of how well Graham's stations (which would be Hearst's when they buy them) are doing.

    If Tribune buys WBNX they could simply change the call letters to WGNX (a nod to the old WGNX which is now WGCL) and it's possible they could get the Indians telecast on WGNX.

    You mean like how the other three networks do with their stations in California?

    But what's the point of Fox still keeping KTBC to this day if they aren't in one of the Top 10 DMAs, aren't a legacy Fox station (They were with NW Communications before going to Fox), and aren't going to air Cowboys or Texans games, especially the former?
  9. mardek1995
    I don't understand why Fox didn't sell KTBC to Local TV back in 2007. They don't air either Cowboys or Texans games and for some reason Fox still keeps it, but why?

    I'd like to see DART try the "Transit TV" with original content plus content from NBC (with local news from KXAS and KXTX, and clips from NBC and Telemundo, among other NBCU properties). BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit, not Bart Simpson) should try it out too (also with content from NBC, via KNTV and KSTS).

    I can't see 22 the Point! being a radio station slogan, but the exclamation point does make it look exciting.
  12. mardek1995
    I'm surprised that no one mentioned this but Crime Watch Daily is coming this September to all the Tribune stations across America.
  13. mardek1995
    I think Tegna should expand the Justice Network reach to the LSB stations, as well as buy Griffin Communications and/or Hubbard Broadcasting (except for KSTC, KSTP, KSTP's satellites, and its radio stations in Minneapolis, which though I said they should go to Meredith, they should really go to Cox Media) after they take ownership of KGW, WHAS, and KMSB.

    Not to mention that the last time they had Fox affiliates was in 1995 before KNXV and WFTS switched over to ABC.

    What about Atlanta or Rochester?

    Then what's the point of keeping WWJ if they aren't going to invest in a news department for it?
  18. mardek1995
    I still think it's a good idea for CBS to invest in a full-time news department for CBS 62. In fact it might actually raise 62's ratings.
  19. mardek1995
    I think CBS has enough money to spend to make a full time news department for WWJ. Besides even WJZ (the smallest CBS O&O by market size) has a full-time news department and I bet CBS News has a bureau in Detroit.
  20. mardek1995
    Is it just me, or does anyone else think that CBS 62 still needs a full-time news department?
  21. mardek1995
    They made subchannels to rebroadcast each other, both on their .2 channels
  22. mardek1995
    Also Tegna will be airing a talk show with TD Jakes as the host of it with WFAA, KARE 11, WKYC, and 11Alive as the test subjects and then to the rest of Tegna's stations if it proves successful. http://deadline.com/2015/07/debmar-mercury-tests-td-jakes-talk-show-tegna-media-stations-1201472735/

    Since Scripps now has ABC affiliates all around Arizona, they might as well launch AZCN (Arizona Cable News) without any trace of "The NOW" seeing as how much "The NOW" sucks because of it dragging down most of the Scripps stations that have it.
  24. mardek1995
    And WFAA could use an update similar to what KTVT did back in the late 90s with its logo at the time, but in such a way that it still has the 8 in the square, but with the "WFAA" and the "NEWS" portion of the logo as well as them having a different font or with lowercase letters and without the rectangular box that surrounds the two portions.

    And it won't be too long before azcentral reverts to the Arizona Republic.
