FCC has approved the purchase

MMM made a deal with Sinclair WPBN

I think an ideal and best fit situation would have been Morgan Murphy. I do wonder how much interest there really was for the stations for them to sell out to Coastal.

That’s exactly what I was thinking

KCTV is now using First Warn 5 Weather branding as of yesterday

The deal has fallen through https://inforum.com/business/forum-communications-planned-purchase-of-kvrr-tv-in-fargo-kqds-tv-in-duluth-falls-through?fbclid=IwAR1FO4E8VRwnFGHpD8Itig8SzTiklH6PbJ9CNEpLWABHheHB6-H-2Hbl9tI_aem_th_AYT-VNOjffSwi2wh6P6nXaKGKwZCtz0MhX8d18RDM__eZybQgMnwawLbf-ygLk0qtww&mibextid=Zxz2cZ

Bring back the chew

The FCC have approved the sale

Forum Communications to purchase KWSD in Sioux Falls from JF Broadcasting and intend to launch local news casts. KNBN (Rapid City) does not seem to be included in the agreement. https://www.dglobe.com/news/local/globe-parent-company-forum-communications-expands-in-sioux-falls I feel like they missed out on getting KTTW when they had the Fox affiliation and building out a news operation.

Chris Cuomo just announced on Dan's show (as we suspected) is Joining NewsNation this fall with a primetime show

Today is the last day for KCTV meteorologist Brett Anthony who is leaving to become Chief Meteorologist at KYTX. Brett previously worked at KSHB and at KJRH in Tulsa before returning to Kansas City.

KMBC will launch a hour long Noon newscast that will air on KCWE on Sept. 21st competing against FOX4 and KCTV5. Steve Wilkos moves to the 10am slot, Judge Jerry is the lead in.

That was the way KDLT/KSFY was handled.

KCTV5 has pulled the plug on BetterKC (KC no longer has a Pay-for-play Lifestyle show) and debuted a 9am hour of KCTV5 News today. I’ve been watching this and it is a nice alternative to not having to listen to Mark Alford on Fox4.

Gray's last ditch attempt for the KCPM license. http://www.northpine.com/blog/2020/05/04/gray-tv-pledges-pandemic-programming-if-fcc-grants-rare-exception-to-restore-sell-grand-forks-license/

Not sure if it was mentioned but I noticed KSHB has started a 3pm newscast. Anchored by Kevin Holmes and Cynthia Newsome. I’m guessing it’s either corona related or just a lack of syndicated programming

former WDAZ anchor and current WDAY reporter Matt Henson was charged with Domestic Assault https://www.inforum.com/news/crime-and-courts/4990794-WDAY-reporter-charged-with-domestic-assault

Maybe someone could clarify for me., As part of the agreement for acquisition of KCPM it can not become a top 4 station since KVLY is one, so with that logic would it be possible for it to take the CBS affiliation or could it if it was a sub channel of 27? or could it do CW on 27.1 and CBS on 27.2 since the CW is the lower rated network and not on a full power stick?

Well there is the money to buy WISH

video at 11?

The KX stations in ND have reverted back to their pre-Nexstar domain KXnet.com, myNDnow sounded more like it belonged to a my network tv station.

KVLY/KXJB General Manager and VP Jim Wareham has passed, he was 67

looks like PPTV was able to come to an agreement with Kilbourne and the Radisson Hotel http://www.wday.com/news/traffic-an...ic-move-antenna-avoid-being-blocked-high-rise
