It is behind the paywall indeed. I get it, newspapers have to make money somewhere but there are people that would like to read articles online without having to pay for it.

In this instance FS1 is using the Cardinals Fox Sports Midwest broadcast team for the Rockies/Cardinals game tonight (P.S. Go Cardinals) The fact that the RSNs are STILL integrated into Fox Sports that it'll take awhile for Sinclair to integrate the RSNs into Stadium and the local stations (if they're co-owned with the local stations)

Not really because I noticed that FSN as recent as this week stop promoting the FS1 shows such as Undisputed and Speak For Yourself. I think there was some form of a transitional agreement between Fox and Disney when the DOJ ordered Disney to sell the FSNs where FSN would continue to promote the FS1 shows for a certain period of time until the sale was completed, and now that the sale has been signed, sealed, and delivered the FSNs are no longer obligated to continue to promote shows or sporting events seen on Fox, FS1, and FS2.

I looked earlier through Section 3.09 earlier, couldn't find it. It may have been removed so that no one could find out exactly how long Sinclair has to keep the Fox Sports name or it's in there I may have overlooked it. EDIT: I found an article from WKYC as provided here https://www.wkyc.com/article/entertainment/television/sinclair-broadcast-group-purchases-fox-regional-sports-networks-including-sportstime-ohio-fox-sports-ohio/95-9a377f0e-ed08-4b50-a2b0-a96cd1221a3d here's what part of that article says

It has to be in one of the sections where it talks about the licensing then but it's in there somewhere unless it got redacted at some point

Section 3.09(a) it might be Section 3.09(b) but all I can tell you is that it's in Section 3.09 that I quoted from earlier

Section 3.09, link is in the post above Spring Rubber's post

The link that @broadcastfan9751 posted above

I don't know if this answers your question or not but this is from Section 3.09. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but, it looks as if that Sinclair will have to use the Fox Sports name on the RSNs for at least 3 years

With Meredith perhaps becoming a buyer, I think Tegna is more likely for Apollo

Unless you're living in the Jacksonville DMA which would be a good thing to be a mess since both companies have monopolized the market

Once you cross the Red River it becomes more of a Native American demographic than anything else because Oklahoma before it joined the Union in 1907 as the 46th State it was known as Indian Territory. Most of the Hispanic population in our state is on the South side of Oklahoma City along the I-240 corridor otherwise, once you go out of the major cities in Oklahoma, the Hispanic population drops off quite a bit

I see a mix of Tegna and Raycom (Gray) influence in it. Looks pretty good

When you think of Texas you only think of a few major cities that are close to the Mexican border (i.e. El Paso, San Antonio, etc.) as having the higher latino population whereas places like Dallas it wasn't really until a few years ago if not, a little bit futher back than that, we noticed an uptick in terms of population. Also this is a market where for DECADES it was dominated by WFAA and KDFW, the Spanish language stations in the area didn't really become a factor until DFW experienced the increase in Latinos moving to the area

That answers my question, I knew that the other major markets that you mentioned the latino population is growing but DFW? I might call this a HUGE win for Telemundo and it probably wouldn't surprise me if Telemundo wins more markets as the latino population groiws and major Spanish language networks like Telemundo and Univision are going to benefit from this increase

My bad @Samantha disregard every I said earlier then.

What makes you think I was putting down Telemundo? Nowhere in my post was I putting down Telemundo or Univision it's good for them that they're winning my issue was what made people in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex perfer to watch a 4pm newscast in Spanish than in English? What did the 4 major DFW Engloish language stations do wrong that propelled Telelmundo to 1st place?

Yes you do because in Soccer if you watch the match in Spanish, you need context and understanding of how they use terms in Spanish and be able to translate it into English, it's just like watching TV News in Spanish so therefore it does make sense

That's just like peoiple would rather watch the World Cup in Spanish than in English, same thing here in this case I guess people don't like KTVT, WFAA, and KXAS so much they'd rather watch Telemundo for news at 4pm

And that is also despite the fact that Gray shuttered and merged KSPR's news department into KYTV's

I think out of the 2 markets that Standard got from Citadel I think they will have a MUCH easier time in Providence than they will in Lincoln

Exactly. KLKN needs serious work too (and hiring a new GM is a start, still got a long way to go though) but I think WLNE out of the 2 that are in the bigger need of work done to the station Going back to KLKN though, I don't think it would matter what Standard does with KLKN because isn't KOLN a 100-lb gorilla in Lincoln? If so then Standard for sure has their work cut out in Lincoln

It looks as if Deb McDermott wants to return KLKN to its roots (which that makes sense considering that McDermott has a history in Lincoln) I'd be very interested to see what McDermott does with WLNE (which that station out of the 2 stations Standard acquired is in need of some serious work)

So Tegna today announced it's 2nd Quarter Earnings and there's some hinting that more M&A could be on the way for Tegna It wouldn't surprise me one bit if Tegna ended up as the next Sinclair (them and Scripps both) as I don't see any indications at all that neither Tegna or Scripps will slow down it's M&A craze anytime soon

I would go out of the limb and say yes. And the thing is Tegna's philosophy would work on stations like KMSB, WPMT and WTIC but as we've seen with WFAA, WWL and especially WXIA it has proven to be costly
