Yeah we are already starting to see hints of that already on the ABC network so it's only a matter of time before we start seeing this more and more in the future.
I haven’t seen it maybe NY or LA, but in all the other owned markets there no network talent filling in. Now Brittany Bell who now with WABC and formerly of WTVD used to fill in on GMA and WNT a lot. Sydney Scofeld did a report for ABCNews live after those 4 cops were killed in the another NC city (outside of the Raleigh market) which I found surprising. But ABC and there owned stations are either 1 or 2 in the local ratings in their markets. I don’t think there in a position like CBS where local and National need to be under one unified brand. -

They just showed the closing credits for the 11am news and they were using the 2012 theme briefly but halfway through the credits they changed it to the WABC theme that they are using now. I thought they were going to let the old one finish out like before but I guess that's not how this works.
It’s an end of an era for them.

There’s a reason why this name exists, people. It’s not for cosmetic purposes.
Yeah and that’s why so many network journalist are part timing with CBS you got Elaine Quijano on WCBS, Jaime Yuccas who’s on KCAL both journalist both part timing on network and local. I think we’ll see a lot more network journalist on the local stations since this unified brand means one unified group.

WPIX is in DMA 1, so it would be a major sell off of small market stations or several larger markets to stay under the cap. That is probably a hard pill to swallow, especially if his vision is to own most CW stations.
He has to own WPIX if he wants to own all CW station I haven’t heard of any network owned group that doesn’t own their own flagship NY station to complete the job he needs New York. Perhaps he’ll sell of stations where there no chance that he’ll own a CW station there are a bunch of markets where he has no chance of getting CW control most are in small markets. -

Yeah not sure I understand all the bemoaning. Was there confusion on what a station group mandate was?
It was a pretty flat out rollout pretty straight and basic.

Apparently KABC is a carbon copy of WABC as they are now using their custom 1999 cut of Gari’s Eyewitness News.

I not gonna lie I was a little let down. I like their old theme, maybe perhaps they had an audio problem and forgot to roll out the music theme. I know at the beginning they were having some audio problems. The breaking news theme was cut off a little.

Finally there the last this new look is done rolling out. It looks good on them but I will miss the last package though.

Charlotte will remain the largest DMA in the Carolinas.
Again they’re right next to each other and could remain that way for awhile, but I’m betting Raleigh might overtake them.
By the way CBS News is opening a Raleigh bureau. TVNewser reported that here’s the link.

From FTVLive:
Current WBBM GM Jennifer Lyons will be the interim President & GM at WWJ
She could help them tremendously, I thought she was ND when was she promoted to GM?

Where exactly would he go at the network? It’s not like they have an obvious open vacancy and he’s likely just fine in his current role.
Yeah true, we was doing the same at WNBC part-timing with the network also, I recognize there very few slot to gt into network. Getting to network news today is like getting into an Ivy League college. But I hear he makes a lot of money in his current role.

He's a network talent I don't know why they won't give him a network job. He be good at it he appears on CBS Sunday Morning almost several time a month, he's a frequent fill-in on the Evening News. I don't know why they won't give him an opportunity.

No it has not ever. They are next to one another in ranks now, but Charlotte is still a faster growing region.
Well see, I think well overtake them. This is from 2011 we had beaten them so It can be done again https://www.sportstvjobs.com/local-tv-market-sizes-dma-2/

Yes! I didn't realize how many countries he had an entertainment segment in.
He had one on ITV, channel 10 in Australia, here in the US he was on WGN Chicago and KSWB in San Diego. Among other networks he was huge.

The other market you are referring to is Charlotte, and no it won't overtake Charlotte ever. Charlotte DMA is actually growing much faster than Raleigh/Durham/Fayetteville DMA, and has actually sped up in growing in the past year. Actually, the Charlotte DMA will be in the top 20 in the next year.
They’re literally right next to each other. Sacramento will remain in 20 for a minute. Raleigh has also beaten queen city in previous rankings in past years.

Due to the 2 of the top 4 rule, Nexstar would have to spin-off a station in Fresno and Raleigh, and the FCC just ruled that it's already over the overall cap in NYC, but there aren't any rules against buying the other stations.
How about they just focus on KSEE/KGPE in Fresno and WNCN in Raleigh and don't do nothing else to Raleigh and Fresno. Raleigh a pretty growing market. If Perry buys WLFL they can't get WRDC, he can only pick one because if he got WLFL/WRDC/and WNCN that''s a Tripolily I don't think that's gonna happen. Same with Fresno that's 3 stations, I don't care so much for Fresno since its a small market, but I've been doing some reading about the Raleigh market they could overtake another major NC market in DMA rankings possibly in the next year and in the next 5 years they'll be a top 20 market. Perry Sook is dangerous.

I think a lot of people are going to be severly disappointed when a bottom-feeder no-budget company like INSP or Vision/Coastal winds up buying these stations instead of these pie-eyed fantasies.
Instead of playing speculator, let's just look at these indisputable truths. And they aren't pretty:
- The television industry is not a buyer's market in any sense of the word and hasn't been since interest rates got raised substantially
- The few remaining megachains—Scripps, Tegna and Gray—are either too built up or are already in many of these existing markets.
- Hearst doesn't buy anything unless it's a gigantic waste of money like spending $200M+ for freaking WBBH in a older market in a permanently uncompetitive state politically. Great thinking there, y'all.
- Apollo Global Management isn't buying anything and may be forced to sell off Cox Media Group if their stupid fever dream of buying Paramount actually happened.
- Graham isn't buying anything because they just don't.
- The networks ain't buying anything, and one of them (CBS) is in limbo right now since Shari Redstone took it off the market.
- The FCC might just repeal the UHF Discount rule (again) just to further erase anything Pai did and not grandfather a thing
- The continued diminishing returns of retransmission revenue is only going to get worse. Those golden geese are no longer not laying eggs, they're entering hospice care and the likes of Nexstar don't have a plan B.
So as you can clearly see... Sinclair is absolutely screwed.
So Sinclair could fall into bankruptcy?7 hours ago, tyrannical bastard said:There may be hope for Pittsburgh, Raleigh/Durham, St. Louis and other large markets that have a Sinclair cellar-dweller (or two, or 3, 4....) in them.
I’m praying Raleigh gets cut from Sinclair and someone breathes life into it. I’ve seen WLFL’s programming and I’ve been to Raleigh it is so bad they air PSAs from 2006. You remember those commercials where they said “Pass it on” they’re still airing them, though it’s nostalgic.

Not only will he not get it, he'll stubbornly refuse to sell anything in order to buy it.
This is the same clown who runs a company that proudly boasted on their own website they could buy ABC "with little friction". And no one has seemingly considered this is why the FCC has started to crack down on them.
Yeah I remember when Unc said that he was insane for saying that he’ll buy the network, especially that he just about owns a station in the same market of all 8 ABC O&Os. Just imagine LA NY, Raleigh, San Francisco having to beat against your competitor and be under the same ownership.

In that case, also being in the #1 market on a station that warrants roughly 6 percent of national cap space (with NO UHF discount) puts a major target on Nexstar's back.
The reach of a New York City station alone can roughly equal that of a small company (like Graham) with only a few stations or ones that serve smaller markets.
He has to have WPIX. Mark my words.

Getting the CW in Detroit is going to be even harder than CBS had to scramble in 1994. At least they stayed on Channel 62! So far, CW has bounced from WKBD....to WADL....to WMYD...and who knows after that? (WDIV as a subchannel is probably the likeliest....)
WDIV will probably get the affiliation it’s kinda impossible to land somewhere else. So I see why Mission wants to close. -

As long as they don't rebrand WGN as CW9. I don't think the folks at WGN could ever live it down.
They won’t do that. There coming back to CW they were one before they never rebranded. CW will be put on the logo

I feel like it’s an LA thing that there used to be not enough weather anchors. Like KABC owned the weather coverage with Dallas Raines a great meteorologist and a very funny person imo. But ya know I was studying the Spanish stations and it was like a decade I noticed then that KVEA only had one weather anchor and KMEX had only 2 they both now have meteorologist covering all newscast. But my question was with LA crazy climate why wasn’t weather not taken seriously. I remember watching a vintage video from the 1991 or 1990 of KTLA and I saw their 10pm news intro from back then and I noticed there was no weather anchor, when they launched the morning news Mark Kristi (I believe his name was) did weather and traffic, but there no weather anchor at 10. I always wondered why some tv stations don’t feature weather anchors for their evening shows. Maybe it because I’m not from California and I live in a state with wild weather but it felt weird for me.
