I get the impression that NewsNation isn't thought of too highly at Nexstar stations...

I'd stay with my network if I had the choice.

Dish & Block Communications Settle Carriage Dispute

Updated: Dish Could Lose 12 More Local Stations Tonight (Morgan Murphy Media)

As per RabbitEars, WZMQ is currently broadcasting CBS OTA in SD, and it also appears that they're broadcasting MeTV when CBS isn't on the air.

TV Answer Man has posted a scorecard of all the ongoing DISH squabbles.

DISH is at it again, this time its with Block.

According to RabbitEars, the three Florence stations are already repeating WMBF.

That means that WMBF can finally live up to its callsign, W Myrtle Beach Florence.

I thought of it more as NBCSN merging with USA, and USA being the brand that got to keep going on. NBC Sports no longer needs to buy filler like Mecum or PowerNation and fill 168 hours minus infomercials in a week, while the USA side gets to reduce the films and series they have to air on the weekends for live content they desperately need as their repeat shows can easily be streamed, without commercials.

Moreover, USA is the home of WWE Raw, which streams on the NBC Sports App, and WWE Network merged into Peacock in 2021. I can see Comcast/NBCU eventually repurposing UK into G4 and merging MSNBC with their NBC News Now streaming channel.

A small M&A. Gray is LP-picking again.

 

They're grabbing six more LPs from Lowcountry Media for $1.165M.

• K19MZ-D Arriba, CO
• K32OG-D Pueblo, CO 
• W19FA-D Bangor, ME
• W36FM-D Etna, ME
• W31FD-D Beaufort, SC 
• W29FR-D Lebanon-Nashville, TN

Interesting note about W19FA one. The allotment on RF 19 was formerly occupied by WABI before it moved back to VHF.

Gray may be planning on using these stations as UHF repeaters for:

K19MZ-D Arriba, CO - KKTV

K32OG-D Pueblo, CO - KKTV

W19FA-D Bangor, ME - WABI

W36FM-D Etna, ME - WABI

W31FD-D Beaufort, SC - WTOC

W29FR-D Lebanon-Nashville, TN - WSMV, which RabbitEars already shows as W29FR-D as repeating

Noticed this on KITV's updated website today. WEWS called. They want their logo back. Haha. Also to keep it with the thread, new abc logo added for tax. 

I just streamed KITV's newscasts on their website as they still have remains of the Hearst graphics.

Calhoun County (Bruce) is in the Columbus-Tupelo or the Greenville market? I know it has to be close to the boundary, being right down the middle of the state. Regardless, those are the two markets in Mississippi that Gray is not in, and their most likely pathway to each of them is completely different (forced divestiture for the former market vs. trade for the latter market).

 

It appears that a change to the COL would be warranted as a review of the signal contours indicate that the station's service area is nowhere near Calhoun County.

She must have a very weak contract, and it may not have had a non-compete provision in it.

WLOX was basically the only news game in the Biloxi-Gulfport market until 2013, when WXXV finally re-started a full-time challenge to them.

 

For comparison, when Alan Sealls jumped from WKRG to WPMI, the off air period from the time he left WKRG and re-appeared on WPMI was only about 6 months.

I wonder whether Gray is enforcing the Non Competes for those they let go for not getting vaccinated.

Has anyone noticed whether TV & radio commentators have resumed traveling to their team's road games, calling games on site and not remotely?

TNT is using a virtual Power Play clock, similar to their virtual Shot Clock in NBA.

NESN is business as usual, but did add shots on goal to their scoreboard.

No SOG tracker, yet, on the MSG or AT&T/Root scorebug.

Bally Sports has apparently found a new place for SOG on the Bally Bar.

Apparently seeing the writing on the wall, the Red Wings and Tigers resign with Bally Sports Detroit.

DISH could lose the Morgan Murphy stations at 6:00 p.m. CDT on October 13.

I don't get it but I guess Weigal wants a NY station. I hope they solve the signal issues with that station (even if it means co-channeling)

WJLP is licensed to Middletown Township, NJ, with that, maybe Weigel can make it a New Jersey centric station and take the heat off WWOR.

Mayim Bialik and Ken Jennings will host Jeopardy! through the end of the calendar year, Sony Pictures Entertainment announced Thursday.

We get this when clicking on the DISH link on the websites of Sinclair stations. This one is from KOKH.

I'm bumping this thread to show the Fox Sports score bug for the Field of Dreams game.
