Sooo Is this over now?? Can Tegna get back to gee I don't know, running TV stations & focus on it's news departments??

KUSA & KTVD are now on the hunt for a new news director. Megan Jurgemeyer has abruptly left the Denver duopoly after 3 years & her bio was scrubbed from the station's website this morning. I have more on my blog about it, and there is info here as well: https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2023/4/15/gone-just-like-that [ Oh and Denver duopoly KMGH, KCDO/KSBS-CD has been with out a news director since April 4, 2023. ]

The F.C.C. Will not allow that, the market is too small. And I'm sure that Ms. Klunkler & Montclare Communications don't want to sell just yet. I would love to see WZVN go to a completely different owner at some point, Tegna, News press & Gazette, or Hubbard, a group that would separate it completely from WBBH. Not that it would happen necessarily.

It's too small of a market, NBC Universal isn't interested.

WOW!!! I'm surprised but not surprised, I'm just glad it's not sinclair getting the station. I would love to see WBBH & WZVN out of the LMA at some point.

I I Saw this Gem on Facebook this evening, about "KMGH news letters". I wonder if other E.W. Scripps stations are being sued for this? I didn't feel like filling out an attorney retainer questionnaire. If anyone here knows details let me know I'm curious.

Put baseball back on local broadcast stations again & add a streaming partner. Broadcast worked for years before the RSN's, it can work again.

I know this is a bit old, but here is WBBH's voice over Eric Gorden being interviewed by the station. The story is from St. Patricks day 2021.

Weather Nation TV's field corespondent John Van Pelt has passed away unexpectedly. He passed on Wednesday January 4, 2023 according to some other on line articles. Weather Nation TV's article is below. More here: https://www.weathernationtv.com/news/remembering-weathernations-john-van-pelt/?fbclid=IwAR0X_3DgTWpfU8lDnoyg0_3IdR1qeST6N8Sw3YZVm8lsYfv8qjakrVcHKSY

As much as I believe this deal is dead, it appears they have extended the deadline for FCC approval to February? If I were Tegna I would just walk away now and maybe go find a different party to merge with. This is crazy. Better yet don't merge at all, invest into your local news product ( ha ha ha Who are we kidding) and just look at this attempted transaction in your rearview mirror.

Sooo how long before nexstar begins having to sell of some of there stations because there viewership & web traffic is down, & they have less advertisers due to weird stuff like this??? These other media companies (Tegna, Scripps, Sinclair, Hubbard,ect) are going to eventually eat there lunch. I give it a year and they will be back to streaming there newscasts. February 2023 just as sweeps begin they will be back.... Hell even really small media companies like Waterman Broadcasting Corporation & News-Press & Gazette Co live stream there newscasts at there respective station websites.

Sad news out of Denver, former KUSA sports anchor Mike Nolan has passed away after a brief illness he was 85. https://www.9news.com/article/news/local/9news-sportscaster-mike-nolan-dies-85/73-1446e700-661d-4962-9595-d668965490ec https://coloradonewscenter.blogspot.com/2022/11/former-9news-sports-anchor-mike-nolan.html

Per his own Twitter account: Reporter Noel Brennan from KUSA & KTVD is moving on to Chicago to join WBBM-CBS2. His last day at the Denver duopoly is next Wednesday November 23.

Has mission broadcasting reached a deal with DirecTV?

KFQX was shut off at 4:03PM this afternoon. I'll be curious to see how long this lasts, what's odd with KFQX is there is nothing mentioning the dropping of FOX4 at Westernslopenow.com

AWESOME!!!!!! THANKS FOR THE LINK!!!

Have you all read this article about ABC NEWS producer James Gordon Meek? If not, it's an interesting read: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/fbi-raid-abc-news_producer-1234613619/

Hmmm, Maybe providers can replace it with Weather Nation TV, who doesn't seem to have as big of a national foot print.

Awesome!!!!

Yes they are in a makeshift studio built in a tow behind trailer at babcock ranch from how they described it. It looked cramped.

I Wonder how the WINK doppler held up during Ian? I know the wink studios were underwater. As far as i know the WBBH (First Alert Power Doppler HD) / WZVN (Storm Warn7 Doppler) Doppler survived.

NBC2 Says there is some minor roof damage on the main building that houses ABC7 (wzvn), but both stations seem to have come out of it okay. WINK Though, yikes!!!! Sun Broadcasting's WARO-FM is still off air. And does anyone know about WXCW TV ???

My question is why can't they seem to make up there minds about the logo, Promos it's the "Fox Box" Pinpoint Weather it's the rectangle FOX logo. Figure one out and stick with it. And I do agree they go through a lot of sets.

Not to sound Naive here---Real America's Voice, what is that?? I've never heard of it or seen it. Is it similar to One America News?
