Other than amazon having Thursday Night Football, why not go back when games were played on Saturdays after the end of College Football regular season. It is what NBC and CBS did in the 1970’s and 1980’s.. I like the current CBS/FOX Sunday afternoon games and NBC on Sunday night. 

WLTZ TV is airing some newscasts from WTVM TV. Started back around November 23.

WEAR is temporarily producing newscasts for their cross-market "competitor" WPMI, as they have had a COVID-19 case shut down the station.

Back in March, WPMI did the same for WEAR when they had a station employee test positive.

WEAR TV and WPMI TV are sister stations.

Most of the VHF Channels are moving from a VHF digital channel to a UHF digital channel. Now that the “freeze “ has lifted. Are more likely ahead.

Nice artwork, lugnts6 .

So GRAY TV owns and operates WTVM, WXTX, and now WLTZ TV. So the rumor about WLTZ TV were true.

Could Sinclair sell FOX RSN"s ? With Dish, Sling, Fubo, Hulu, all dropping the RSN"s.

Hulu is now dropping the RSN’s

Surprise Surprise. Hulu, Dish, Sling, Youtube, Fubo- all no longer carry FOX RSN'S. Direct TV/Cable TV left only they carry RSN"S

The FCC proposes KGW TV to move the their  digital signal from  a VHF signal to  a UHF signal. KSNB TV wants to switch their signal to a UHF digital signal as well. Will see how it goes.

The first go-around earlier this spring only restored the RSN's to viewers in the primary viewing areas (likely the DMA of the teams themselves) on YTTV.  Other DMA's lost them if they were a secondary market further from the teams covered.

This time, it looks like everybody is losing them unless an agreement is made.

 

Until the next sport starts up (Basketball or NHL this winter considering things get back to normal?), the channels are basically worthless.

Sinclair having paid for the RSN now want more money for their investment in return. Having again being dropped( not droped my mistake) by  Fubo,Sling, Dish, and now You tube. Can Hulu be far behind.

YOU TUBE TV, Dish,Sling, Fubo TV have all droped  Fox Sports Regionals. 

As Gomer Pyle said " Surprise Surprise".

My mistake it is KSNB TV.

KNSB TV just recently asked the FCC if they could switch their VHF signal to a UHF signal in Lincoln Nebraska.

This marks the first  year since the FCC okayed the KDLT/KSFY TV merger for GRAY TV.  

I could See WLTZ TV becoming a CW station and moving NBC programming to WTVM TV. I agree with JCB4TV said. This would comply with FCC rules

Would it just be more practical for Gray to purchase the non-license assets, NBC & CW, and move them to subchannels accordingly?

a triopoly in Columbus? Who knows FCC/DOJ?

But WNCN's focus at the time was putting greater emphasis on news from across the state (hence the newscast title "North Carolina News").

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 must say...even though I was expecting an overall downgrade in the brand quality, this is just BAD.   And hearing those NBC chimes on a CBS station must be quite jarring to say the least.

KTUU is the higher ranked TV station. Will see how KYES will do under GRAY TV"S control.

To change the subject a little bit, Have we heard anything on Standard Media and WGBC TV/

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.

Would Sinclair resell the RSN if they lose money? 

Have we heard anything on WGBC TV and WMDN TV deals yet from November.

It will be interesting to see what happens when Coastal broadcasting takes over KTWO, KGWC, and KLWY TV.  The three stations  are still under their previous owners as we speak. Will KGWC TV begin having newscasts

Yes. Once the FCC greenlights a deal, the parties have 90 days to complete the sale. That's with any transaction.

 

But the parties can file an "extension of consummation" to add another 90 days if they need to. That's a rare though.

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.
