Mandy Bailey formerly from KSWO that was fired for that brain binder has landed a job at KTEN as the Chief Meteorologist after David Siple left. She will be on air next week at 4,5,6,9,and 10
Is Lockwood nothing more then an Island of Misfit Toys for things Gray does not want?

Meanwhile, sh*t is gonna get real! This time between DirecTV and Viacom:
I'm a long time DIRECTV customer and survived the two week Viacom was gone in 2012, yet I agree with Viacom on this one as any American who hasn't been traumatized by Trump & Fox News knows that the THREE things that are driving up cost of pay TV bills these days are SPORTS, SPORTS, SPORTS. In addition, Viacom is kinda miffed that AT&T is themselves a content provider with the addition of the Warner channels and that they were shut of the new DIRECTV Now packages.
For those of you who still want Viacom, the best option I've seen is Philo, which Viacom is a party in this venture. This service is $20/month with the first week free.

Is Nexstar rolling out a different format website layout??
Check out KXAN's site -- totally different than other sites... I rather like it myself...
It's nice to see that Nexstar has apparently hired, apparently, someone who stayed awake in their webpage design class. As for me personally, living on Oklahoma, it will be a better pill to sallow when KFOR joins Nexstar and migrates to the new platform.

Obviously, KDKA does NOT like the Patriots
Should the Patriots win on Sunday, KDKA should just put up a "Technical Difficulties" slide during the trophy presentation to spare Western Pennsylvania from seeing the Patriots collect their 6th trophy.

I look forward to seeing KFOR's Oklahoma's News 4 flag next year!

WTEN and WNCN exist. WTEN already has a Capitol correspondent to feed their other New York stations (plus WFFF/WVNY), WNCN seems to be looking for one.

I made corrections to my post, please review.

Another interesting tidbit out of all of this is that Nexstar plans to use stations in State Capitals for Political coverage in that particular state but the only concern about that is Nexstar is not in every single city that's a State Capital (For example, Nexstar isn't in Columbia-Jefferson City so, therefore, all of the Missouri stations Nexstar owns has to get creative with the way they cover Politics in Missouri)
Let's Take a closer look;
Montgomery, AL: They can open a bureau to supplement their Birmingham and Mobile operations
Juneau, AK: No operation in Alaska, Graycom Turf
Phoenix, AZ: They have KASW, but no news operation
Little Rock, AR: KARK
Sacramento, CA: In process of acquiring KTXL from Trubune
Denver, CO: Bureau for their existing operation - KXRM
Hartford, CT: WTNH
Dover, DE: No operation serving Delaware
Tallahassee, FL: Their closest operations are WMBB, WEAR, & WFLA
Atlanta, GA: Bureau for their existing operations
Honolulu, HI: KHON
Boise, ID: No operation in Idaho
Springfield, IL: WCIA, who can assist WGN once Nexstar take over in Chicago
Indianapolis, IN: WISH
Des Moines, IA: WOI or WHO, whichever Perry decides to keep
Topeka: KS: KSNT
Frankfort, KY: No operation
Baton Rouge, LA: WVLA
Augusta, ME: No operation
Annapolis, MD; No operation - This is Sinclair's turf
Boston, MA: Bureau for their existing operations - WWLP and WPRI for Bristol County
Lansing, MI: WLNS
St. Paul, MN: No operation
Jackson, MS: WJTV
Jefferson City, MO: Nexstar might call the University of Missouri and see whether KOMU is available
Helena, MT: No news operaion in Billings
Lincoln, NE: No operation - They should call Citadel to see whether KLKN is available - Graycom turf for now
Carson City, NV: No operation in Reno DMA, yet KLAS in Las Vegas
Concord, NH: No operation
Trenton, NJ: No operation
Santa Fe, NM: KRQE
Albany, NY: WTEN
Raleigh, NC: WNCN
Bismark, ND: KX News
Columbus, OH: WCMH
Oklahoma City, OK: In process of acquiring KFOR from Tribune

Variety posted a profile on Nexstar and interviewed Perry Sook on Friday.

Actually Perry, your company goes from Rhode Island to Hawai'i. There are THREE Nexstar markets east of Burlington, Connecticut, Springfield, MA, and Rhode Island.

I think they'll just move the CW over to KNCT for some reason. I don't agree with the whole Telemundo thing that everyone has been saying.
Please note, that Gray has a permit in College Station, K49LC-D RF 49 -> 27, to potentially serve as a satellite for the "new" KNCT.

Jenna Bush is the frontrunner to replace Kathie Lee. Hoda may decide she doesn't want to do the 4th Hour without KLG. They could cancel he Kathie Lee & Hoda Show (since technically that what it had been for many years despite being under the tODAY Brand) and have Jenna and Sheinelle hist the 4th Hour
I believe that NBC should drop the 4th hour and either replace it with another show or return the time to the stations.

Translation: Jeff was getting too expensive for KDKA's payroll.
Translation: They can hire a no name at entry level pay with bronze insurance, which they won't use.

According to FTVLive, Thompson, Wallace and Lamb are out!!
Tribune has been offering buyouts to some of their higher price talent.
At Kansas City’s WDAF, sources tell FTVLive that a number of staffers have accepted the buyouts and will be leaving the station.
Sources say that longtime WDAF Meteorologist Mike Thompson, along with longtime sports director Al Wallace and longtime sports reporter Jason Lamb have all accepted the buyots.
It appears that WDAF will have no sports department as of Dec. 31st with the loss of Wllace and Lamb.Crap, Tribune has several fossils at KFOR, they can clean house there.

Decided to drive around the Sinclair HQ today to see what’s back there. I would have gotten out of the car but there were way too many people in the parking lot at 10:30 AM.

The satellite dishes are getting a wash down.[ATTACH=full]6472[/ATTACH]
A huge satellite truck. Looked relatively new.
[ATTACH=full]6473[/ATTACH]
The satellite farm was getting mowed.[ATTACH=full]6474[/ATTACH]
Their helipad.[ATTACH=full]6475[/ATTACH]
Their ATSC 3.0 Test vehicle. Looks like a live truck with a mast but has a regular receiver antenna and for some reason a camera.
At least you made it out alive.

Susquehanna would not be clean, as they are ranked 2nd and 3rd. Memphis is not clean either.
My lists have been corrected.
As for Susquehanna, aren't the rankings as follows: 1. WGAL, 2. The Field?

Osage Beach is actually split between the Springfield and Columbia/Jefferson City DMAs. Most of Osage Beach is in Camden County, which is in the Springfield DMA, but a small portion of it is in Miller County, which is in the Columbia/Jefferson City DMA.
As per RabbitEars, KRBK will be moving to the Springfield antenna farm in Fordland, MO when they more to RF 22 in the repack.

Tegna Media could be growing soon.

Aren't we just hours away from the FCC removing the tarp and allowing these firms that hit it out of the park?

I'm going to call it right now, Nexstar will gain a duopoly in Knoxville while also acquiring KTEN in Sherman/Ada
The only question is who gets KAKELand? (since Nexstar already owns KSN) my money for that would be on Standard or Hearst acquiring KAKELand
As for KTEN, Nexstar might as well do what they need to do to acquire them as KTEN is the missing piece of a Nexstar-Graycom puzzle that will flank the Oklahoma-Texas border.
Amarillo: KAMR-KFDA
Wichita Falls: KFDX-KSWO
Sherman: KTEN?-KXII
Shreveport: KTAL-KSLA

By the way, that article says that WNNE is a CW affiliate. I thought they were joking. I thought that wasn't right because I know its an NBC affiliate.
Apparently, when WNNE started to channel-share with WPTZ, it became a CW affiliate (taking over from WPTZ and is now WNNE 5.2) so there you go...
Yep, WNNE has left Hartford, VT and has moved its COL to Montpelier, VT, the state capital and it now transmitting alongside WPTZ at Mount Mansfield at RF 14.

New M&A from Hearst.
They're acquiring Portland, ME's CW station WPXT from Ironwood Communications.
Hearst already owned the ABC station there, WMTW.
WPXT also carries MyNetworkTV & MeTV on its subchannels (in which the latter is carried on many Hearst properties).
No price was disclosed, but we'll see when the paperwork gets posted.
This makes sense as WMTW & WPXT are currently roommates, yet aren't duopolies not allowed in Portland, ME. Should this go through, would Sinclair acquire WPFO?
