    Nexstar would probably like to take WKBD and WBFS in order to shore up their scheduled-to-return CW affiliations, but they're capped right now.
  2. AmericanErrorist
    Hagerstown is in the Washington, DC market, so DirecTV carried the station throughout the spot beam, essentially serving as an alternate for WRC.
  3. AmericanErrorist
    They just fired almost a third of their staff. The hirings were so recent they didn't get any severance.
  4. AmericanErrorist
    And presumably extended overtime shootouts?
  5. AmericanErrorist
    Yes.

    There is a "world feed" produced by Olympic Broadcasting Services, a subsidiary of the IOC, which is used by broadcasters without the ability to send their own camera crews (which is used by Peacock in the US for full coverage of every event beyond the programming aired on NBCU's linear networks and possibly other streamers outside the US), but the world's stronger Olympic rights holders (from the more prosperous countries) send their own camera crews.

    Jeff Shell, the former NBC exec who will come aboard the post-merger entity as President, has stated that “I personally think the linear business is going to be a strong business for decades to come...” https://deadline.com/2024/07/linear-tv-cbs-broadcast-paramount-jeff-shell-bundle-1236003157/

    Rusty's hunch was that the KCAL News brand would only last a few months to a year, yet here it still is 19 months later.

    It's back on. A go-shop provision has also been instituted, which means that other parties can make an offer for Par.

    "Deadline hears bankers are also assessing a group of non CBS-affiliated television stations that are not core to the broadcast business. Paramount owns 13 TV stations not affiliated with CBS." https://deadline.com/2024/06/paramount-asset-sales-chatter-around-sale-leaseback-hollywood-lot-1235983020/

    Since the deal is dead, Mission won't be involved at all. Adell may cut an LMA with Nexstar. At that point, it will still be the worst station in Detroit, both operationally and programming-wise, but Adell will continue to do the RTC deals.
  12. AmericanErrorist
    Nexstar doesn't have guarantees on Adell's loans, nor does Nexstar have a purchase option on WADL like Mission has on their stations.
  13. AmericanErrorist
    The article says that Adell believes that he can still land The CW on the station (over a WDIV subchannel or The CW Plus) and is willing to cut an LMA directly with Nexstar.

    I see KLEW becoming a passthrough for KREM instead KIMA/KEPR with a stronger combined Palouse bureau (though it's just as likely that there would be layoffs there), but I don't know if Tegna would be interested.

    Due to the 2 of the top 4 rule, Nexstar would have to spin-off a station in Fresno and Raleigh, and the FCC just ruled that it's already over the overall cap in NYC, but there aren't any rules against buying the other stations.
  16. AmericanErrorist
    It has no chance in the current Senate.
  17. AmericanErrorist
    They could also launch their own cable-only station with the Plus feed and have someone handle advertising.

    In reality, this wisp of a conference has a scheduling alliance with the Mountain West and will be eligible for their championship game. (Just making sure everybody's on the same page as to the actual contents of this TV package.)
  19. AmericanErrorist
    Comcast may never renew.
  20. AmericanErrorist
    Can more power actually overcome the fact that antennas have to be positioned separately between low-band VHF and high-band VHF/UHF?
  21. AmericanErrorist
    Do they even have the legal ability to do that?
  22. AmericanErrorist
    Less forgot and more they wanted money from Disney to put the subchannels there.
  23. AmericanErrorist
    Does this mean that Detroit is going back to WADL, after everything that happened?
  24. AmericanErrorist
    This includes WPVI-TV, whose OTA signal, stuck as it is on low VHF 6, has been difficult to watch since the digital transition.
  25. AmericanErrorist
    The listings for that day show no change (haven't been updated yet?)
