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

And they put the Charge! Network on WTVD and KFSN. Sinclair forgot they even own stations there.
Couldnt they put it on their Raleigh stations WLFL/WRDC that’s a duopoly and Fresno KMPH/KFRE that a duopoly there yet they wanted to put it on 2 ABC O&Os in the same respective station essentially they’re paying the competition.

They have soup olives in Raleigh and Fresno why would they put it in a competing station in their respective cities.

2010 was the last time they debuted a new set that was when Allison Floyd and Tim McGinnis were anchors and Rich Chrampanis was still sports director all of them gone. That’s how long they had the set.

Unless they agree to subchannel affiliations with WDIV and WPLG, the CW is likely shut out from Detroit and Miami entirely.
Yeah it pretty difficult to get WPLG on board with a subchannel. Especially that WPLG does News for WSFL and with them dumping the affiliation that newscast is likely over. That might put a bad taste in Grahams mouth that means Scripps was not happy with their deal.

Based on the post under kcop as te subject, a post said that kcop was just putting news on the air in the afternoons to fill in the time since syndicated programs were having difficulty getting ratings or something. I would hope that is not the only reason and that the station does want to expand their newscast not only on kttv, but on kcop.
In my opinion, the addition of weekend morning newscast on either or both kttv and kcop would be the next logical step if they are expanding their newscasts.
What about WNYW they produce less hours of news compared to WPIX their CW competitor, they also don’t air or simulcast news on WWOR. There in the same boat as KTTV. The only difference is NY doesn’t do an 11pm show to compete against it CW competitor and FOX is #1 over CW in NYC.

Why? Because they are dropping a name that hasn't really meant anything since Bill Bonds got fired 30 years ago?
Good lord, this fandom is so unbelievably out of touch with reality.
It called tradition, we need to keep them. Just like how WPVI the mother of the Action News brand would never do something like this and drop it. Or even worse drop Move Closer to your world. Jim Gardner retired from channel 6, in 10 years should we drop the “Action News” branding and MCTYW? No. Because it’s tradition. WXYZ in Detriot caved to modernism by rebranding.

WXYZ Will be rebranding from 7 Action News to 7 News Detroit starting Monday morning at 430am. The morning show will be “7 News Detroit This Morning” which doesn’t have much ring to it. This is the first time they’ve rebranded their newscasts since 1972.
They even have a nifty new logo that vaguely looks like it means hard news:
Abomination… truly awful.

When was the last time Sam Champion was on EWN This Morning? He’s been on GMA as a 6th host since early March with Brittany and Dani handling 4:30-7am. Not sure if he’s been on 10am but when I’ve tuned in it’s typically Dani.
I could see him coming back to network. But Rob probably not leaving so no open slot. But maybe he do features and transition of off weather. He really good with features it’s like he never left GMA.

Nexstar has sold WJMN to Sullivan's Landing LLC, headed by former Quincy Media head Ralph Oakley, will be run by Morgan Murphy Media... sale is now pending per regulatory matters
That to get WPIX fully in their hands. Not gonna like WPIX has been saved because of Nexstar.

It's from Wikipedia so take it for what it's worth but it looks like the news department was shut down.
Marcus Esparza officially left on March 12th. So guaranteed it's gone.
It was shut down I was part of the team I got the call while I was on vacation. While I cannot explain the full details it was an abrupt shut down for us.

Wow never seen a big market station celebrate a morning show anniversary that’s uniquely Chicago. I think it’s great I don’t recall lots of stations marking anniversaries of news expansions, I see them on Univisión and Telemundo stations but not English language.

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.
