In wonder whether Portland, Maine is also an all hands on deck market with Hearst in the market along with Tegna and Sinclair along with the possibility that FOX moves from WPFO to WGME?

I believe that only the GM, Sales Mgr, and the Engineer are the only Mission employees at WPIX.

I found a new potential factor in the future of NBCSN, Comcast is looking to relaunch G4 in 2021, with that, they may need NBCSN's transponder space in order to make this happen and possibly justifying NBCSN's current programming moving to USA, CNBC, or Peacock.

I believe the only reason NBCSN would close would be in the even they lose NHL and/or EPL.

I took that into consideration when I thought of places where CBS can place their sports content should they decide to close CBSSN. In addition, Nickelodeon can pick up the slack, they're simulcasting one NFL playoff game. From my prospective, none of the Viacom networks are branded to televise live sports on a regular basis, with that, it may be more difficult for CBS to justify closing CBSSN unless they plan to move most of the content to Paramount+, the rebranded CBS All Access. Can America see MTV celebrating their 40th anniversary by showing sports?

Charlie Ergen must have been visited by those 4 Christmas Ghosts!

I personally could only see NBCSN go should they not be able to renew with EPL or the NHL, yet I can also see many of NBCSN's offerings moving to Peacock, USA, or CNBC. I can see CBSSN closing with many of their programs moving to Paramount+, or MTV. Many FS2 programs can potentially move to FBN.

Variety Exclusive: Fox Broadcasting, Sinclair Strike Multi-Year Affiliation Renewal Deal

Retransmission disputes with Dish are not short.

Remember, all the sports teams need as many eyeballs as possible watching their games on television until fans are allowed to returns to arenas.

It's not just the Brewers who are stuck, many of the other Sinclair RSN teams are stuck as well as the only options they have are the expense of starting their own RSN, migrating to D2C streaming, or signing with an OTA station. The only teams I can see moving to another RSN are the LA teams who can possibly move to Spectrum SportsNet or SportsNet LA, and the Texas and Oklahoma teams moving to AT&T Sports Net SW. As for the Brewers, they can also try WPXE, who'll most likely be a Scripps station by the time the 2021 season starts, while WMLW should move to the WDJT stick.

Sinclair Says It Will Be Offering Standalone RSN Products as Soon as Next Year

I wonder why Gray made this purchase in the first place.

As per RabbitEars, the new KFVE is airing on Ohau on KKAI-DT2 50.2.

News Center Maine’s Lee Nelson will anchor his last broadcast Friday Lee Nelson will become a personal trainer.

In OKC, ATSC 3.0 is transmitting on Nexstar's KAUT license, RF19, with KFOR, KOCO, KOKH, KOCB, and KAUT. As for KAUT's ATSC 1.0 transmissions: 43.1 is on KFOR's RF27 spectrum 43.2 & 43.3 are on KOKH's RF24 spectrum 43.4 is on KOCB's RF33 spectrum

WLBZ would most likely have to petition to move to UHF, they were on RF25 during the transition.

Tegna Stations Currently on VHF: KPNX, RF12, petitioning to move to RF18 KTHV, RF12 KXTV, RF10 KFMB, RF8 KUSA, RF9, owns KTVD, RF31 WUSA, RF9 WJXX, RF10 WTLV, RF13 WTSP, RF10 WXIA, RF10, owns WATL, RF25 WMAZ, RF13 KTVB, RF7 WTHR, RF13 WOI, RF5, owns KCWI, RF23 WHAS, RF11 WLBZ, RF2 WZZM, RF13 KARE, RF11, petitioning to move to RF31 WTOL, RF11 KGW, RF8, petitioning to move to RF26 WBIR, RF10 KBMT, RF12 KIII, RF8 WFAA, RF8, petitioning to purchase KMPX, RF30 KHOU, RF11, owns KTBU, RF33 KWES, RF9 KCEN, RF9 WVEC, RF13

ATSC 3.0 is Live in Oklahoma City The five stations broadcasting NextGen TV in Oklahoma City include Hearst’s KOCO-TV (ABC), Nexstar Media Group’s KFOR-TV (NBC) and KAUT-TV (IND); and Sinclair’s KOKH-TV (Fox) and KOCB-TV (CW).

I believe that the only major MVPD who's managed to keep the Sinclair RSNs has been AT&T as they recently renewed with all Sinclair that included the local stations, the RSNs, Tennis Channel, and added Marquee at launch. AT&T also managed to somehow resolve an earlier dispute with Altitude and added SNLA.

From what I've observed, the primary reason that Tegna is buying KMPX is to get WFAA 8.1 onto a UHF stick as there have apparently been complaints of reception issues with WFAA's current VHF signal.

Sinclair better figure something out, and fast, whether that's to come down on their price, or allow the RSNs to be premium channels.

It appears that WFAA can move 8.1 to the KMPX stick as soon as this deal closes.

Would it just be more practical for Gray to purchase the non-license assets, NBC & CW, and move them to subchannels accordingly?

Upon review, Gray apparently has two CPs in Juneau for stations on channels 15 & 26, maybe Gray will light these up for CBS in Southeast Alaska. https://www.rabbitears.info/search.php?request=owner_search&owner=Gray+Television
