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. ]

Why not have HEARST buy WZVN too and create a duopoly between WZVN and WBBH TV.
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.

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.

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.

It appears Nexstar is taking two steps backward in their "digital first" mandate. Live streams of their newscasts are apparently coming to an end next month.
They will be delayed at least 2 hours.
https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2022/12/21/nexstar-to-end-live-stream-newscasts
The endless quest for retransmission money appears to be the reason.
If they keep this stuff up, they'll end up like Bally Sports, and price themselves out of existence when the pay TV providers kick them to the curb and the networks begin pulling their affiliations.
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.

Another Nexstar-related dispute. Mission Broadcasting's stations have been pulled from 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

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

When i moved to the market in 2003 they used to have an onsite Doppler radar wonder what happened that they had to use the nws radars for the last few years
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.

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.
