Correct me if I'm wrong, here are the markets where Nexstar can acquire a Tribune station clean, in DMA order: DMA 1: New York - WPIX 11 CW DMA 2: Los Angeles - KTLA 5 CW DMA 3: Chicago - WGN 9 DMA 4: Philadelphia - WPHL 17 DMA 5: Dallas - KDAF 33 CW DMA 6: Washington, DC - WDCA 50 CW (A duopoly with WDVM would be formed)* DMA 7: Houston - KIAH 39 CW DMA 12: Seattle - KCPQ 13 FOX & KZJO 22 DMA 16: Miami - WSFL 39 CW DMA 17: Denver - KWGN 2 CW & KDVR 31 FOX DMA 19: Cleveland - WJW 8 FOX DMA 20: Sacramento - KTXL 40 FOX DMA 21: St. Louis - KTVI 2 FOX & KPLR 11 CW DMA 22; Portland, OR - KRCW 32 CW (A duopoly with KOIN would be formed) DMA 29: San Diego - KSWB 69 FOX DMA 33: Kansas City - WDAF 4 FOX DMA 36: Milwaukee - WITI 6 FOX DMA 41: OKC - KFOR 4 NBC & KAUT 43 DMA 48: Piedmont - WGHP 8 FOX DMA 51: New Orleans - WGNO 26 ABC & WNOL 38 CW

As per RabbitEars, KRBK will be moving to the Springfield antenna farm in Fordland, MO when they more to RF 22 in the repack.

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

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

What about WSKY?

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.

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?

This week, Lester Holt has been all over the place: Monday: Finland Tuesday: 30 Rock Wednesday: Aspen, CO

KTEN says farewell to Chief Meteorologist Alan Mitchell http://www.kten.com/clip/14454708/kten-says-farewell-to-chief-meteorologist-alan-mitchell

I wonder how long Kevin & Kent last at KFOR after Sinclair takes over.

Leaving to escape Sinclair! Sound about right.

The question should be whether Air Comfort Solutions Chopper 4 survives the station's ownership change whether it be Sinclair or someone else.

What is with these Conservative commentators wanting to harm a survivor of mass murder?

In Oklahoma City, all the major media outlets, KFOR (Tribune), KOCO (Hearst), KWTV (Griffin), KOKH (Sinclair), The Oklahoman, and the radio stations are launching United Voice Oklahoma to promote a healthy dialogue on race relations in Oklahoma.

I would believe that the order in El Paso would be KVIA (NPG) followed by everyone else, Sinclair and Nexstar.

At least we forget the short lived career of KVIA Meteorologist, now gay gogo dancer, Stephen "Gay Gringo" Decatur.

Lester will apparently be reporting from Memphis on Wednesday, April 4, the 50th Anniversary of the MLK Assassination.

As I said in the MLB Thread, the National need to somehow find a way to get off of MASN and onto NBC Sports Washington, where they would have a chance to get games OTA via WRC and in market streaming. The Nationals have been treated badly by the Orioles since they moved from Montreal in 2005. As for MASN, is it me, or are they the Nexstar of RSNs?

Meredith is apparently selling Time, Fortune, SI, and laying off 1,200 employees in the process. I am posting this as they've been rumored to be in the running to purchase station in the Sinclair-Tribune divestiture, should the transaction obtain final approval from Washington.

NewsCenter Maine appears to be a Maine Corporation as the name appears in suit that they've filed against the (Maine) Department of Health & Human Services for access to files in an ongoing child abuse case. http://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/local/news-center-maine-files-lawsuit-against-dhhs-demands-access-to-child-case-files/97-529918377

Not yet, Mitchell is still on the air.

KTEN, DMA 160, has a posting for their Chief Meteorologist position. The reason I post this is because it appears that the successful candidate will be succeeding long time CM Alan Mitchell, who has been with the station since 1995.

As per Our Maine, the current WPME intellectual unit, except Ion, will move to WPXT's spectrum on March 22. As per RabbitEars, the lineup will look like this: WPXT - RF 43 -> 34 51.1 WPXT CW 51.2 Me TV 51.3 WPME - from 35.1 51.4 Escape - from 51.3 51.5 Laff from 35.2 New Call Sign RF 35 -> 24 35.1 Ion - from 35.2 35.2 Qubo 35.3 Ion Life 35.4 Ion Shop 35.5 QVC 35.6 HSN Source: Any Ion Station

It appears that Jackson, WY, which is in Idaho Falls-Poctallo DMA, is taking action against Charter Spectrum regarding their prolonged dispute with Northwest Broadcasting, who owns their NBC station KPVI. This dispute cost many in Jackson to miss the Super Bowl and Olympics. http://www.jhnewsandguide.com/news/town_county/town-launches-action-against-spectrum/article_545497e3-858e-5888-a553-b10dc75d06ee.html Similar action is being taken in Yuma, AZ regarding Charter Spectrum's blackout of KYMA & KSWT there. https://www.pressreader.com/usa/yuma-sun/20180208/281492161772084

Airing out of pattern, the events in Florida, the gun debate that followed, and Lester getting sick did not help.
