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 -

That's one half of the sharing agreements in Tucson gone, I wouldn't be surprised if Tegna ultimately terminates the sharing agreements with Gray and acquire KMSB outright. One would think that KMSB would've had a news department by now under Tegna -
For a market the size of Lubbock that's actually not too bad. It could always be worse
-
Have we heard anything out of the FCC or Sinclair since this investigation began? I know they were supposed to turn over evidence to the FCC by the 9th (and here we are on the 25th, they're almost 2 and a half weeks late)

Never say never though. Given Sinclair's behavior it might happen. -
I think the cable bundle is starting to burst and what's fueling the fire is the fact that AT&T (the same company that's started the whole carriage fiasco) wants to shift current DirecTV satelitte customers to streaming. So clearly that may be part of the reason why we've seen so many carraige disputes involving AT&T. Looking back, I can clearly see why the Justice Department didn't want to allow the AT&T-Time Warner merger to go through in the first place, it has nothing to do with CNN's politics but rather the kind of stuff that it's playing out now, and it shows.

Aaannndddd.... They have lost their viewers for that stupidity. Why in the name of Frankfurt would you place your own TV station behind the paywall and yet you can get WDAZ/WDAY for FREE, over the air. Sounds to me like either they're desperate for traffic on their website because nobody is visting their site or they're trying to drive whatever is left of their viewership elsewhere in the area. I seriously have a bunch of questions about this.....
-
It's clear to me that this is where needs to open up an investigation into possible Collusion between Cunningham and Sinclair and actually run it concurrently with the Lack of Candor investigation the FCC is doing on Sinclair itself. It's WAYYYYY overdue for the FCC to start holding Sinclair and their related broadcasting "companies" accountible for their actions
-
Which in that case it would be Cunningham. Not only that but one would think that holding your own stations off of DirecTV for this long, should ultimately go against your qualifications as far as license renewal is concerned.
