?? WLKY is an Hearst station. Do you mean WAVE3?

Honestly, What the heck is going on here? Adell and WADL is not gonna make an LMA with Nexstar or Mission. At this point, it should've just made an deal with Sinclair and made it an day. Look, The CW will have an affiliate in Detroit, Miami and Tuscon, no matter the cost. WDIV already kinda cleared the way by dropping ThisTV and putting on CoziTV, probably and possibly as an substitute before September 1. I don't know about any of the Tuscon or Miami stations plans on the CW. And just for the whole Perry Sook case, I would rather have him own WDAF-TV and the St. Louis Duopoly of KTVI-KPLR than let Sinclair even have its hands on the stations, because at least with Nexstar, none of the stations are bankrupt or at least went near-bankrupt, or shuted down any of the news departments, but Sinclair did all of that and more. I mean, SINCLAIR could've killed off KSMO-TV for all it took, and it lost the chance of the CW because of that and was only saved because KCTV5 and the MEREDITH CORPORATION MADE AN DEAL TO AQUIRE KSMO. And for KDNL..... Do I have to explain it to y'all? Google it. Holy WTOK, I'm losing brain cells. (Sorry if it went off-topic kinda quick, I just had to rant)

Whoops. I think I made an calculation error.

It's less funnier for me as an Missourian to see Alpha Media do these changes because they could change WIBW-AM in nearby Kansas at any moment and how they are literally erasing anything local to their stations in Missouri. That and Townsquare literally turning in radio stations to the FCC and/or shutting then down. So yea, I'd expect the FCC to do nothing about the ownership caps for TV but will for radio even if it might be controversial. And again, at least some buyers exists for Television that isn't God-Broadcasters. Radio however, not so much.

I don't hate Nexstar per se. They could've been better but I haven't seen an lot of negative changes on WDAF-TV or on the Topeka stations (KSNT, KTMJ-CD, and KTKA) I just think it would be funny if Hearst decided to aquire WPIX. It's not realistic, but it would be interesting. I think the problem isn't the transmitter land but more about where would the affiliations go to after the stations folded. And in 2016-2018, television companies would sell of spectrum but it'll make almost no sense sometimes. For example, The full-power WAGT, Media General (then-owner of WJBF) and Gray Television (owners of WRDW-TV) was having this battle over who would control WAGT after Gray aquired most of the television properties of Schutz Communications which Gray won. Then for no reason other than spectrum reasons, they shutted down THE FULL POWER STATION, putted the programing on a LPTV and somehow got people in outer parts of Augusta, Georgia the inability to see NBC and The CW programming unless you were looking at it on 12.3. (and made The CW stuck on an low-power without any reason.)

Exactly. With all of the stuff going on in the world right now, I don't think in any way, Joe Biden is going to focus on the ownership caps.

Bold of you to think that the WBBH and WZVN should've been sold for $75 million. It's an vital path to the safety of the market. Its in 2nd Place like what I've previously mentioned. Like, without the television stations and the radio station in the Fort Myers/Naples/Cape Coral, Florida market, the hurricane damage could've gotten way, way, worse. I mean, it made sense why Hearst would aquire the station given the fact of the respectively of the company. Also, the fact it's located in Florida, an deep red state doesn't really matter in this case, KMBC-TV in Kansas City, Missouri serves Eastern Kansas and Western Missouri, both Kasnas and Missouri are considered Deep-Red uncompetitive states and yet, it's not an big deal. What? They generally revamped WZVN from an joke in the market as WEVU to an respectable station, and you're saying they OVERPAID for the station and WBBH? Edith Waterman if she looks at this is probably going to be disappointed that you're saying it was/is an declining asset. The E. W. Scripps Company, as much as people HATE them, have been and still in a way, is considered an pioneer. And for the Hearst Corporation, it could be again, be considered an pioneer for its time in the early 20th century with the yellow journalism, which is now used on stories almost everywhere now in the 21st century thanks to Bill Applegate (who once worked for WEWS) and WSVN (which isn't owned by Hearst but the idea of yellow journalism is there left right and center since 1989) Sinclair isn't right now really is an respected company due to the amount of BS it does (See KTUL in Tusla, WNWO in Toledo, and literally almost all stations they own, including former stations like KSMO-TV.) While Nexstar, it was created in 1996 with the first being owned/operated being WYOU in Scranton, Pennsylvania. It's an upstart company, yes, and Perry Sook, worked for WPXI in Pittsburgh and WOWK in Huntington–Charleston, West Virginia before the 1980s ended. I think he would end up owning WDKY in Danville–Lexington, Kentucky and KOCB in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in the Mid-1990s before he sold them off to Sinclair. So Sook does have broadcast experience. I'm actually more confused on how and why y'all hate Nexstar, like I haven't seen that much changes on my Fox Station owned by them, so it's kinda like somehow someone on an curtain blog that I won't and can't mention caused all the hate on Nexstar. That and Tegna as well, but that's an whole different story.

How in the Florida was WBBH an 'waste of money' for Hearst? Hearst acquired it and WZVN because Waterman Broadcasting wanted to sell the stations off before Edith Waterman turned 100. And plus, it isn't an 'waste of money'. it's in 2nd place behind WINK-TV (Channel 11), ONWED by the family of the founder of the ORIGINAL CLEVELAND BROWNS, Mickey McBride. Also, I like how no-one even notices that WZVN, albeit owned by Montclair Communications, is operated by Hearst.

The government has more important problems to worry avout right now, than on the situation on Television stations. Not even the FCC could save them.

Okay, everyone, I'm sorry for the semi-all-caps rant but if Scripps DOES get WPIX, WHO WOULD EVEN GET THE CW?? WPXN IS NOT AN GOOD CHOICE, I don't even think it has even has a programing schedule for the CW if they have that. Like, I'm actually sick of this udder stupidity of this whole situation about WPIX and stuff. It feels like, if Nexstar shuts down WPIX, then it might be good for y'all at this point because Nexstar isn't controlling it. Please, all I just want is to give me an example on how Nexstar messed UP WDAF-TV, then maybe I'll change my example. Otherwise, please don't respond to me over this comment. Just don't.

Just like in the Pre-1995 days. But I feel like the CW probably is gonna cringe at the thought at them being without an New York affiliate because I don't know who's gonna give the CW an chance in NYC if WPIX does turn independent?

Also, a little note, some of Mission Broadcasting's first stations were actually operated by Sinclair until 2001. 1.) I didn't say anything else. Anyway, I really think Mission was bored into how long it was for them. Ah yes, LMA. (Especially for the conflict because of WPIX, really Adell?)

LIKE THEY COULD'VE OWNED KQTV, IT WAS ONE OF THE SMALLER MARKETS But they didn't because, why? I don't know. It would've been an better addition to WDAF if KQTV was still owned by Nexstar. Also, Nexstar never owned WAAY-TV, Calkins owned it but it overlapped with WAFF.

Update: Mission Broadcasting just said, "nope" to acquiring WADL-TV

Hello, it was me that did that. The reason was to explain that if ANY stations (in this case, KSHB) tries to put an 9pm newscast, it will get beaten by WDAF-TV. But yea, this seems boring...

Despite the fact KMBC is the market leader, WDAF is considered an strong 2nd place, with the 9pm timeslot being considered an leader due to the longevity (WDAF started an prime-time newscast in 1994)

Locally in Kansas City, if any and I will repeat this literally ANY Television station tries to put an 9pm newscast on thier main channel or if they are in a duopoly, the secondary channel, it WILL get defeated by WDAF-TV (A FOX AFFILIATE) because Channel 4 just have the experience with an 9pm newscast SINCE 1994. It doesn't even care if it's Channel 9, 5, or 41, it will lose against Channel 4. That's an local, but important example why the Plan B wouldn't be an More News situation.

That's one of the reasons I'm happier that KCWE is owned by Hearst because at least with Hearst, they won't mess it all up. Also, I know this (given Hearst) won't happen but if Mission Broadcasting is forced to sell it off to Hearst, that'll be unexpected.

The fact they introduced it while in a police chase is so Los Angeles. Also, that graphics are really AMAZING.

I'm thinking about how the Fox O&O Stations would put it. I mean, because of the fact they have GMFB.

Huh, it's weird that they wouldn't re-acquire WDAF.

So Fox could've literally took the affiliation away from WDAF?

Did they ever think about the consequences when they tried to aquire WDAF-TV in Kansas City, WJW in Cleveland, and the rest of the Tribune Media stations? Nope. They never did anything to think about the consequences about what they did or the consequences. I don't think they would ever EVEN thought about cashing in years ago.

Thanks, that conversation Tuesday was just stupid at best, and at worse, just plain ANNOYING.

Did you forget what he said– You know what? Please refain from talking about this topic. Like, actually refain. My mind can't take your nonsense talking anymore.
