    Yet another network that GOLtv, a network which pretty much carries niche Portuguese and South American soccer, has lasted longer than. They've outlived Fox Soccer, and now undoubtedly beIN.

    Hehehe. The cockroach that keeps on giving 😂🤣

    The station's actually been seeing a constant exodus since last year without many new talent coming in (like maybe two new faces).

    They never did find a direct replacement for Bob Frier after he left last summer, and seem to have forced Kristin to lead the news at 4AM. 

    Robert Guaderrama and Glenn Richards left in April.

    Heather Gustafson left in March.

    Mike Magnoli left late last year. 

    Brian Scott also left last summer.

    For a market like Orlando, the station seems to have quite a bit of turnover, to say the least. 

    It's tough to get some eyeballs in the newscasts if people are coming in and out. I imagine Orlando news TV ratings suffers due to this craziness

    That's probably up to the board that now controls the church and WBNX (set up while Angley's health was failing). 

     

    It's seems more likely now that Ernest has passed and it was the same story when Rex Humbard resigned from his own church in the 80s (moving to Florida), setting the stage for WBNX (originally owned by another related entity and purchased by Angley) and the later purchase The Cathedral of Tomorrow and related entities soon after.

     

    Easy duopoly bait for Tegna, Scripps (since Inyo owns WVPX and WDLI) or Nexstar.  Or it could be sold to someone like Marquee or even Weigel to be a repository of subchannels. I doubt they'd try to keep 55.1 as an independent like they did with flagship WCIU before it picked up the CW.

    I don't think they have a choice as the affiliation agreements are all tied up ATM. If Weigel owns it, you might as well call it "The X" 😂🤣

    Now the station can be put up for sale.

    It's a no brainer for Nexstar...as WBNX is on an UHF frequency. They can easily move WJW on there and place the subchannels (and the new one coming out) on their own virtual channel (55.1)...

    When NBC Sports Philadelphia launched as CSN Philadelphia in 1997, they used the terrestrial infrastructure left behind by PRISM to distribute the channel keeping satellite companies from access. The FCC closed this loophole in 2010, but the issues remain.

    Yep, I heard of that. It's an obvious excuse for Comcrap as they wanted the channel to remain exclusive to them so that more people can subscribe to them. Now with cordcutting becoming more popular, clearly they can't do that anymore. This model I imagine will be a win-win for both sides

    WBKB-TV 11, the CBS/Fox/ABC affiliate out of Alpena, Michigan is a textbook example of a small-market station with a low-budget setup compared to other stations in neighboring media markets...

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Already covered that station a bit here. Their news opens are cringeworthy as hell.

    Just goes to show how out of touch I’ve become with CBS 2’s constant musical chairs 😂

    Yeah...it's a joke. Its impossible to compete with WGN, WLS and WMAQ with nonsense decision making like this. Constantly changing your anchors is not a good idea...

    That's awful. No parent should ever have to bury a child. My condolences go out to Marsh and her family.

    Especially at TWO years old. His life barely began. He never had a chance 😔

    Oof. That does not sound fun. I hope she gets out of those surgeries well...
