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

CONFIRMED: WKRN getting new graphics Monday, October 26 at 4pm.

Another delay? Incredible 

Here

If you don’t see it....

The transitions are the worst. Going from a supertease into in the open is just terrible. TERRIBLE 

Ugh

Wow

Is RenderOn, VDO, etc all out of business now due to consolidation?

No one has the resources.

Word on the street is Grays Graphic hub did not do these graphics. They were done in-house at WAVE 3. Great look if you ask me. Good evolution of the Limerick package of late. 

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

KTXS is taking forever. 

Where is Demetria Obilor going?

Nexstar Media Group Enters into De-Leveraging Buy/Sell Agreements with Fox Television Stations. Nexstar to Purchase Charlotte’s FOX and MyNetworkTV Affiliates for Approximately $45 Million and Divest Seattle’s FOX andMyNetworkTV Affiliates and Milwaukee’s FOX Affiliate for Approximately $350 Million.

Rumors of a round of layoffs at legacy Nexstar stations and the new Tribune stations.

It was VDO. 

Omg. Just stop it. So ugly.

It's a long shot, but could they be rethinking their "local" philosophy? 

What is wrong with their LOCAL philosophy? It is what times a community to an asset when there is so much noise on cable, this phone I am typing on, etc

Wow. This just floors me. 

KLRT-TV, FOX 16, on temp set as they remodel the FOX 16 set in Little Rock, AR. KARK-TV, house in same studio, debuted their set about 18 months ago. New  graphics package set to debut, too, for Fox. Early February. 

KTSM in El Paso has moved into their new facilities. They have adopted the look of KRQE. Same logo, set and the NBC Nexstar graphics pkg. (instead of the CBA one, duh).

I'm a bit surprised they just didn't go for a high-ranking local station met, like Cecily Tynan for example...

Who? Exactly.

 

What's your take on KMID's new Local 2 News logo?

Listen, this poor station has NEVER had any love from Nexstar. Nexstar spent the past 8 years trying to sell it. Once they couldn't sell it for a multiple that made sense for Perry, they bought the Fox. Now they are finally pouring some love into this station. They have needed it. It's always been the red headed step child.

I believe Nexstar made up for it and more.

Someone post YouTube videos.
