KARE buyouts http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/4/14/twin-cities-station-losing-staff-to-tenga-buyouts WCNC and KSDK buyouts http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/more-tegna-buyouts-in-st-louis-and-charlotte/168687 (sorry if these were mentioned before )

Talk about corporate spin

WXIA buyouts have been confirmed: Keith Whitney, Kevin Rowson and Donna Lowry. http://radiotvtalk.blog.ajc.com/2016/04/12/11alive-buyouts-confirmed-keith-whitney-kevin-rowson-donna-lowry/

In terms of their big 4 stations here is the situation: Their Montana ABC/Fox duopoly (KSVI/KHMT) doesn't, WNTZ doesn't, WWTI in Watertown, NY doesn't either but that's more of a satellite of WSYR, for the moment KWKT doesn't have a news department but they will launch one later this year, and WLAX / WEUX don't. Obviously this doesn't count standalone CW stations.

Sinclair's Wisconsin stations were ordered to air an extended 25 minute Trump interview with Sharyl Atkisson during their Sunday newscasts. I guess we now know which candidate Sinclair execs like the most http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/4/4/sinclair-turns-stations-over-to-trump

We've got a dispute between Nexstar's KLAS and Cox Communications http://awfulannouncing.com/2016/over-350000-cox-customers-in-vegas-face-a-potential-super-bowl-blackout.html

Sinclair has bought the Tennis channel http://deadline.com/2016/01/sinclair-buys-tennis-channel-1201691628/

That's horrible. Thoughts go out to her family and WLS-TV

NJTV (the statewide PBS affiliate for New Jersey) is considering joining the spectrum auction http://current.org/2016/01/new-jersey-network-could-relinquish-spectrum-in-upcoming-fcc-auction/

At least 7 employees, 3 of them on air talent, were fired from WTOL this week. Rumor is that it's because they were playing Cards Against Humanity while at work over the New Years Weekend http://www.toledoblade.com/TV-Radio/2016/01/15/WTOL-fires-several.html#yqb0FgrfDVaiywBQ.03

A producer at WFLD told female reporters to not wear hats during live shots because they “look a lot better without hats,” he would make an exception “if it’s 20 below.” Station management have said that it was never a station policy and that the producer would be reprimanded http://awfulannouncing.com/2016/chicago-tv-stations-hats-off-policy-for-female-reporters-didnt-last-very-long.html
