What’s this story about?

How have the ratings been with the new lineup?

I worked with VDO a lot on multiple station projects. Miss Diane. Do you remember her? What happened to her?

Ohhh. What was the company that had a rabbit in their logo?

I really enjoyed VDO. Dianne Streyer.

Nexstar Media Inc. Promotes Andrew Alford to President of Broadcasting Division, Effective June 1 https://www.nexstar.tv/andy_alford_promoted_president_broadcasting_division_2021/

Exactly why.

Incorrect information. But yes, Blake is still there. He’s the creator of their look, sets and news operations. He’s done a great job making sure local is consistent in messaging and not looking like Tegna, Gray or Sinclair with their very copy/paste approach.

Wow. That was quick.

most likely heading to Nexstar to replace Tim.

I am a democrat and I have always told my other friends who hate on Fox about their journalism and how they can turn it on when they really need to. Example, they called the Election before anyone else did. Yes, the political director was kicked out of the building for telling the truth. But anyway, yes, they do have the chops for a big news story but now with every story having some intertwined political side, they lost their way. So no. It’s not news.

This has to be for an OTT program. NBC is stacked with really good talent right now. The increase is puzzling but could be to align to the new reality with OTT programming.

Most Insightful post of the week. Thanks.

Nexstar Inc. President of Broadcasting Timothy C. Busch to Retire in Mid-2021 February 26, 2021 36 Year Broadcasting Veteran Served in Multiple Leadership Roles Over 20 Years as Nexstar Grew to Become the Nation’s Largest Broadcaster IRVING, TX – Nexstar Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Nexstar Media Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: NXST), announced today that President, Broadcasting, Timothy C. Busch, will retire June 1, 2021, following a 36-year career in the broadcast industry. Mr. Busch joined Nexstar in 2000 as General Manager at WROC (CBS) in Rochester, New York and over his career with Nexstar ascended to roles of increasing responsibility including Executive Vice President and Co-Chief Operating Officer and ultimately President of Nexstar Broadcasting, Inc., the predecessor to Nexstar Inc.

Nexstar has had their eye on Meredith for a very long time. Now with Print spun out. This will be an easier sell.

How much did this cost Nexstar? I am not seeing a price tag in the press releases.

I am not a fan of Jeff Zucker but everyone in this group is talking about CNN’s demise post trump. Between Nov. 4 and Sunday, CNN has averaged 1.73 million viewers, more than double a year ago, Nielsen said. Fox News Channel had 1.56 million and MSNBC had 1.53 million. It's the first time since December 2001, the newsy period after the Sept. 11 terrorist attack, that CNN has beaten Fox News in this measurement for as long as a month, Nielsen added. Among the broadcast networks, NBC led last with a primetime average of 6 million viewers. to be fair to Jeff... this is under his watch.

Nexstar Media Group is combining its broadcasting and digital subsidiaries as Nexstar Inc. to “drive synergies, create operational efficiencies, reduce expenses and enhance financial results.” Timothy C. Busch becomes president, broadcasting; the digital business unit will be led by Karen Brophy; and Sean Compton will be president, networks, overseeing WGN America, AntennaTV and WGN Radio.

They took the nbc package and made it none-peacock branding. Interesting Another delay? Incredible

No one has the resources.

Confirmed. These graphics were done in house by WAVE. They did not want the crap Gray is producing.
