WRAL TV has always been number 1. When it was a CBS affiliate it remained number 1, even after the switch to NBC. CBS dropped WRAL TV and NBC was happy to affiliate.
I’m surprised that KTUU and Gray TV didn’t just stay with KTVA. Then Gray TV would have to sell KYES TV. The format for news would be Alaska News Now. Much like with KSFY and KDLT TV.
With KTUU/KYES it’s now a NBC/CBS vs the ABC/FOX tv market in Alaska Gray now controls the NBC and CBS markets in the 49Th state.
Surprised KTWO TV and KGWC TV did not close the next day. The FCC okayed the deal on April 16. When Gray TV had the okay by the FCC on KDLT TV deal, the sale was consumed the next day.
To change the subject. NEXTSTAR just improved KELO TV with upgrades. It would not surprise me if NEXTSTAR or Mission broadcasting would purchase KTTW tv in the future. Just a prediction.
Sling, You tube TV, Fubo TV, also dropping Fox Net. Only Direct TV and Hulu tv have Fox Sports Net. Where their other TV groups besides Sinclair were offered for Fox Regionals. Sinclair owns the CUBS Marquee Network also.
