Chances are it'd be the former of the two options you mentioned in this post because I don't see Deerfield selling anything unless they get an offer that they can't resist

So the only thing Sinclair can do is sell the stations owned by Deerfield

Can the FCC step in and tell Sinclair to server any and all ties to Stephen Mumblow and sell the stations owned by Deerfield or no?

Looking back at the purchases that Tegna have made the biggest common denominator I found was that most if not, almost all of the Tegna acquistions so far this year have come in markets that either LIN, Media General were in or where the old Standard Media tried to enter but due to the other stuff that failed to materialize. Something tells me that Soo Kim must've played a role in the acquistions of Dispatch as well as the Graycom and Nexstar/Tribune rejects, how true is that? We don't know but Tegna must've known what was coming

Quite frankly Sinclair and that team up north is likely going to have a much easier time getting distribution for Marquee due to Sinclair tieing in Marquee with YES, the 21 former Fox RSNs and obviously the local stations more so than what the Dodgers are having with SportsNet LA

Depends on how Chris Ripley wants to do with the feeds and subfeeds of the RSNs and judging by what I saw on both Fox Sports Wisconsin and Fox Sports North programming wise that should tell you which direction Sinclair needs and should go with the RSNs, as far as the channel location for Marquee, probably 664, DirecTV better not do the 666 number. Quite frankly it wouldn't surprise me if neither the Pac12 Network, NBC Sports Northwest or SportsNet LA ever see the light of day on DirecTV based on how Dish has been treating the RSNs as of late and as I've addressed in an another thread I think Charlie Ergan has a legitimate case regarding the RSNs

Translation, if anyone on here that lives in the markets of Hartford, Fort Smith and the Quad Cities most likely you're welcoming Tegna with open arms (same thing with Des Moines, Memphis and Huntsville) it's Pennsylvania (WPMT/WNEP) that are a bit up in arms about Tegna.

Looks like the only thing related to weather that was new was the ticker (obviously due to the Severe Weather affecting parts of Texomaland)

Are there any stations in the country that has a Multicultural reporter? Apparently, WISH and Circle City Broadcasting is looking to hire one, it might either be a great thing or it could end up being an epic disaster. https://tvnewscheck.com/article/top-news/240003/wish-looking-to-hire-multicultural-reporter/

So basically they copied off KAIT's Always Tracking. Always Watching. Always On. Slogan

It probably will relatively soon

WNEP plus other ex-Nexstar and Tribune stations would like a word with you.

WHO has never been in a duopoly,

It's more than likely that Terry Hood won't be working for KWTV. She's completely retiring from the Broadcasting business.

That's true but, what I was referring to is Sinclair may want to give all cable/satellite customers access to their teams based on the region (including AT&T customers) although I could see a merger of Subfeeds such as Fox Sports Oklahoma, San Diego, New Orleans, etc. with their parent channels because all the subfeeds provide is their own feeds for their local teams (i.e. Thunder games on Fox Sports Oklahoma, Pelicans on Fox Sports New Orleans)

And that's with any sport for that matter and Sinclair will do anything and everything they want to do including potentially screwing states out of the regional nets games (Tennessee and the Carolinas would be the biggest losers out of this for MLB unless Nashville and Charlotte get their own teams between now and then) by doing as I said yesterday, (it'd be the same thing if the other ideas that other members of this forum have come up with too)

This is based off this same article linked from yesterday's post Interpret how y'all see it but this might be the end of Fox Sports Oklahoma, New Orleans, among others and they used how Fox Sports South/Southeast would look like during a Braves game or a Hawks game, or an Atlanta United match How I would interpret it would be just about the same ideas @Spring Rubber and @mrschimpf have presented and it might be for the best intrests of the NBA, NHL and MLB (MLS, and WNBA too)

If Chris Ripley has his way MLB games on the Fox RSNs could be aired on feeds that are DMA-specific (example the St. Louis Cardinals could air on Fox Sports Oklahoma/Southwest within the Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Fort Smith, and Little Rock DMAs as well as Fox Sports Tennessee/South/Southeast within the Jonesboro, Memphis, Jackson, MS, and Paducah/Cape Girardeau DMAs) Another examples I have would be that Cubs games on Marquee could also be aired on Fox Sports Indiana within the Indianapolis and South Bend DMAs, and Fox Sports Wisconsin in both Madison and Milwaukee DMAs closer to the WI/IL state line. Finally, Arizona Diamondbacks games could air on Fox Sports West/Prime Ticket in the Las Vegas DMA with the San Diego Padres airing on Fox Sports Arizona within the Yuma, AZ DMA

See that's the problem I don't handle my own cable bill because right now I don't work. Once I can get a full time job then I might be able to afford cable and such. But until then I have to live with what I have right now.

Exactly, but of course I'm stuck with my parents that simply refuse to acknowledge that going to streaming platforms such as YouTube TV and PlutoTV is the cheaper alternative to paying close to $100 for probably half the channels if not more, that we don't even watch. (That's just a guessestimate, I'm not sure exactly how much my parents are paying for DIRECTV now but, whatever the amount is, it's pretty high) It is what it is and there's really nothing I can do about it because obviously I'm not the boss over the house.

At the end of the day, I would rather have a cable provider who can have no issues with negotiating retransmission consent with content providers than someone who's reputation is to resort to tactics such as threatening to continue carrying the channels if a deal don't get done by this date at this time.

Will this be aired on all ABC affiliates or just some of the affiliates? Also does the ABC affiliates have an option to split up or even air one of the 2 hours of GMA on weekends? If that's the case and it's all over the country, then KOCO will have to lose an hour of local news on weekend mornings in order to accomodate the full 2 hours of GMA Weekend (KSWO and KTUL on the other hand won't be affected by it at all as they don't air local news on weekend mornings at all)

Does your grandparents have a cell phone too or just the House phone?

See my parents are only 64 (my mother will be 65 next month) and yet neither one of them know the cheaper alternative that is streaming, and they hardly use email at all. You'd think that my own parents would be more adapted to today's technology but nope, in fact when I went to buy my new computer my parents had no idea that there was such a thing as a towerless desktop computer. It is what is but I digress...

That's like I've tried to convince my parents to replace Cable with Streaming because it's cheaper to do it that way but my Parents just simply refuse to do it and I live under their roof so I really don't have a say so when it comes to this stuff
