https://www.wbbjtv.com/ WBBJ now has the Gray website design. I'd think it is a bit of a ways down from getting GrayONE, but I think a branding like First Alert could either occur sooner or with that.

Don't buy it at all.

Don't give him ideas, since they will start buying O&O's next.

Who knows. You'd be seeing a lot of .2 affiliates in that case.

WTVM doesn't use the First Alert branding...that's unusual.

Say hello to a forced fire sale...

I believe the deal has been finalized. The stations are now showing Gray copyrights, and the FCC sites have changed to such as owners. Confirmation?

It's not just the conflicts, but the new market additions if the cap is an issue. The conflicts come in play if there is an antitrust issue.

Probably they aren't sure what their future holds, although I suspect WFAA would stay with Nexstar and KDAF would be sold off.

The courts will likely intervene if that happened.

Say hello to a lot of .2's and .3's having networks as they move to more stable operations.

It hasn't been consummated yet.

In 2 (and 4), it depends on the ruling. It could be either. In 3 (and 4), correct, since the antitrust ruling would not apply they can keep everything in their bloated markets. As far as legacy stations, probably not. However, if a buyer wants a legacy Nexstar station instead of the acquired Tegna station in a market, then the courts might entertain that as long as it gets back into compliance if Scenario 1 is not the end result.
