    KGW had this problem predating the split by about 6 months (and this was when KGW was owned by Sander Media and operated by Gannett, later TEGNA, via an SSA), complete with a possibility of KGW's airwaves being sold off to the FCC's incentive auction. It seems that according to those articles, it's more company-wide than we previously though, and we would expect Sinclair or maybe Nexstar to do that. Not TEGNA of all station groups

    At this point, here are the stations that haven't updated their websites yet in order of market size (excluding KMSB): 11Alive, KHOU, WTSP, NWCN (not sure if it'll get an update, but it probably will), KING 5, KENS, WWL, WLTX, WMAZ, and all of the LSB stations. UPDATE: All of TEGNA's stations, except for the LSB stations (they should really have them updated by May, rather than July), have updated their websites.

    So, they didn't have a helicopter of their own?
  4. mardek1995
    What about the most recent sweeps period (November 2015)?
  5. mardek1995
    Have they been #4 since then?
  6. mardek1995
    Or both
  7. mardek1995
    In that case, it doesn't work on those other markets I just mentioned either
  8. mardek1995
    It doesn't really work well here in DFW either because it too is too serious of a market (not as much as DC, but still). It might work better in Miami than it would in DC, DFW, or even Houston in that matter. Yet they had a news share for KRCW with KGW, but that's pretty much it. And why don't they go back to traditional newscasts similar to what WGN, PIX11, and KTLA have?

    I'd like Nexstar to buy the low powered stations along with WABG, and Raycom or Gray buying WXVT. Also, WDCW could launch a second 10 PM newscast in DC that will come from WTVR: http://dcrtv.com/ Or more accurately: http://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/wdcw-50-psip-in-washington-dc-considering-a-10-pm-newscast.357550/

    Unless its football season or the Super Bowl for WFOR. Nobody watches WGEN regardless if it is football season or not.
  11. mardek1995
    Maybe the FCC? Or Nexstar?
  12. mardek1995
    Especially those in Sinclair's or Nexstar's stations
  13. mardek1995
    I mentioned this in the thread talking about Nexstar getting Media General but, Cox opposes Nexstar buying Media General for some of the same reasons we do, like the potential price rigging to jack it up for example: http://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/currency/cox-plans-oppose-nexstar-media-general/147347 Here's the URL for anybody wanting to warn the FCC to block the Nexstar-Media General merger: https://www.fcc.gov/about/contact

    Are any more CBS O&Os doing it besides those 3?
  15. mardek1995
    I already created it in the speculatron. Check it out over there
  16. mardek1995
    It deserves its own thread, so I might as well create it

    Everyone's been thinking that ABC is a seller, but I don't think any of its stations are for sale, or if any one (and only one) station is for sale, it'd be WTVD to Hearst, but besides that, if any, none of the stations are for sale.
  18. mardek1995
    Why does everyone think ABC will sell its stations?
  19. mardek1995
    If ABC is going to sell anything, it'd be WTVD to Hearst, considering how strong their relationship is, but only that station.
  20. mardek1995
    I've noticed that the LSB stations still haven't updated their sites and it's late into January. When are they going to update them?
  21. mardek1995
    They haven't changed the "LIVE at 5" branding since they went to 4 and I don't think they'll go back to 5 anytime soon, which is why I think it should rebrand as "LIVE at 4"
  22. mardek1995
    Then shouldn't they say "LIVE at 4" instead?
  23. mardek1995
    For some reason, WBIR either decided to bring back the first standardized graphics from before the split fro their live at 5 newscasts, or they may have kept them, but only for those newscasts http://www.wbir.com/news/knoxville-opera-bring-hansel-and-gretel-to-bcpl/15387939 http://www.wbir.com/news/70-year-love-story/15382090

    Not really. And that's why I don't have a lot of respect for Scripps, if any.
  25. mardek1995
    It has more of an interest in its Fox affiliates (including KCPQ and KTVI, despite the latter no longer having a football team) and larger markets (besides WJW) than stations like WGNO. In fact, I'm not even sure WGNO deserves to keep the call letters based on a lack of viewership and poor ratings
