The real question is if WQCW is going to grab the My Network TV for its primary channel or secondary channel, because the primary channel is the CW. I understand that WIBW-TV has My Network TV on its sub-channel in Topeka.

Really, Never knew that until now! John Young does VO's for KAKE-TV aka KAKEland in Wichita, Kansas and KARK in Little Rock, Arkansas. KAKEland is the nickname for the extension for its full power and low power stations.

I am going to be safe and say U-Phonix or The Rock and VO would be John Young and right now as I look at the NMSA site KSEE is using both Scott Chaplin and as of now, It would be John Young. and yes I have the resources on what packages with both VO's using the NBC Collection and the Tower: http://www.southernmedia-nmsa.com/#1,1,KSEE

Is Heartland Media, LLC is going to be part of Gray Television or a separate media group?

WIBW has the new.gray tv logo.as well.

is their an audio version of.the Arnold's enforcer that can be heard?

The New Logo For KSEE looks great! (No offense though)

is KGPE dropping the enforcer or keeping it? I had a train of thought that both stations are going to get Stephen arnold music?

and now ladies and gentlemen, the rest of the story regarding NPG buying three stations from Cowles California Media: http://www.tvnewscheck.com/article/70675/newspress--gazette-buys-three-stations

I have to agree with NBC buying the licensed.assets and have ZGS run the station.

I think WSYR went with Aerial* by Stephen Arnold Music for their newscast and WIVT on another hand needs an serious overhaul on its graphics because they were made in the late 1990's. *indicated Aerial is being used by Kansas First News in Topeka, Kansas.

That's when I realized it would be shell corporation bait because its an low rated TV station. I personally think that LIN buying it now as an standalone station, is zero percent.

Agreed! it would be stupid to have WAOE go to LIN when its a shell bait! and I thought Savannah, Georgia's FOX affilate was under the shell card as well.

AFAIK, LIN bought New Vision's station group and it came with the SSA agreement to operate three stations. otherwise, I personally would think that Sinclair/Nexstar are not really going to divest any stations at all unless the FCC has a really really hard time with their ownership proceedures with an TV station.

I am waiting for that too, except in Peoria they are going to start really over doing it with the stations that they own and/or operate completely when the station is under an LMA and either one of them is forced to sell it to an new owner and break the agreement. and when is Nexstar going to dump WDHN? maybe one to five years from now? I remember the sale to KBTV to one of Sinclair's shell group called Deerfield Media and it was Nexstar's first divesture since the company was formed in 1996!

I agree re: Fort Wayne, they got away with it in Evansville and Granite already has the situation so it is basically status quo. WMYD and KOFY I definitely see sold off (probably as duopoly bait for the existing owners in their markets - perhaps Fox Broadcasting for WMYD into a duopoly with WJBK and Cox Media for KOFY into a duopoly with KTVU?) since top-15 markets are not in Nexstar's DNA. Binghamton is pretty much status quo as well due to the fact there are essentially two operations given the market size. Duluth would probably be KBJR and KRII to Nexstar proper and KDLH to Mission - no effective change. It is Peoria and Syracuse where the troubles lie... It might be that the WSYT deal to Cunningham was rejected but it appears somewhat unclear...if so, then something there would need to be sold off to another operation. But who? If forced to sell something in Syracuse, Hubbard comes on my mind first due to adjacent assets, while in Peoria, the first on my mind is Quincy, also due to adjacent assets in similar small-medium markets. Some of those Sinclair/Nexstar LMAs may end up being bait for the other side in trades... What do you mean by those Sinclair/Nexstar LMAs may end up for the bait for the other side as in the selling or trading off?

Here is how I see the Peoria/Bloomington Market: WHOI-Sinclair proper without the LMA, restart operations and potentally regaining Master Control operations from WEEK WEEK-to Gray Television or Hubbard Broadcasting WMBD-Stays with Nexstar WYZZ-Cunningham or Excallibur Broadcasting, LLC with WEEK WAOE-LIN Media, LLC Why divest when they can simply shift some of the licenses over to Mission, though I would imagine the already messy ownership situations in Syracuse and Fort Wayne would only get messier if Nexstar were to acquire Granite as a whole. Agreed!

Its about time that we had a feed for Nexstar! so let me guess...there is going to be a forced divesture in Fort Wayne if they do acquire more stations?

I have tapes from that era as well from WIBW, KSNT and an short clip from KTKA on one from the late 80's and also, I think WIBW-TV 13 used the talents name and (Making a Difference Slogan) on 13 Sports and or News. All I can remember from 1989 was the weekend open for when KSNT was known as the Kansas State Network Topeka and used KSN news. However, on a different note, I would like to figure out WIBW's news theme and the composer who written the piece in those days.

is there anymore of KSNT with the new logos from 1986 with the same graphics from KSNW-TV?

wow, its about time that the Wiregrass reigion gets an NBC affiliate of its own, I would applaud Gray Television for that.
