New update from KPNX

Then why u prioritized Coastal and INSP as your own "magic wand" idea. This isn't "magic wand thinking" this is about speculation. I'm a free market type of guy not a rookie to demand more M&A. Let the free market decide and i'm not fooling around to level the playing field. Again INSP and Coastal will not buying bigger markets, I doubt Disney or Hearst or even Graham will expand in my opinion.

Wait until Disney merges their streaming apps, it wont be long until Disney wants to add ABC News into their own apps. Everyone else is adding live news into streaming. I'm taking Disney's side if they want to look at KATU, KOMO, KDNL, KTUL, KATV, WXLV, WJLA etc. Again why cheer the ones that u want to buy the large market stations, Why let INSP want Sinclair's big markets, NewsNet isn't worth it if your Coastal/Alaska.

Here it is

They focusing of the FAST channel business using CBS News 24/7 (then CBSN and CBS News Streaming Network). It kinda confuses me that they drop CBS2 and KCAL9 brands in the LA market uniting as KCAL News and CBS News Los Angeles sans channel numbers (CBS Los Angeles was shown on the linear channel 2 feed while CBS News Los Angeles appears of the latter namesake streaming feed). CBS4 in Denver drop the number 4 in their branding when it became CBS Colorado and their news brand both linear and streaming as CBS News Colorado. WWJ opted to use the CBS News Detroit name than CBS62 since they're focusing on their streaming products.

There's also KUTV/KJZZ/KMYU/KENV also since KUTV and KMYU was once O&Os by CBS. BTW Apollo was among bidding for Paramount but they have Cox Media also. BTW it should be CBS News Dallas or CBS News DFW, but I could imagine CBS News Utah and CBS News Austin (that explains the CBS Austin name).

Another station using GrayONE graphics and another Gray station dropping the CBS eye if not all (see KKTV, WCAX, and WABI).

Since WMUR and WZVN are close to WCVB and WBBH, I forgot to post this here. But when will WBBH will get new graphics?

Well they serve to hold politicians accountable, they serve to protect the community, they can combat missinformation (well except Sinclair), those are the aspects of the "public good". Newspaper did so in the past so are u worried about losing trust and confidence in information along with the 'watchdog" role in journalism?

BTW is there a market cap of a religious broadcaster i'm sure walt street ignores religious broadcasting, Also ROI doesnt translate to streaming dollars and using the HGTV structure on Hearst Television is legit irrelevant than your comments. This is about public good in broadcasting which is "real world" than your comments.

Tell that to the many small to midsize CW, MNTV and Independents that dont have local news unless they make a duopoly with a Big 4 network. Also religious TV broadcasters are much different than religious radio broadcasters buying commercial radio broadcasters. Your beign jealous here, local tv stations are public service something that the internet don't. Serving local communities and the real world analogy is about using goverment owned frequency to serve the public good, big tech streamers are not supporting local communities and they only focus on national content than using documentaries to serve the public good. BTW Hearst does involved in national content in a midscale with their half interests in A&E Networks and NorthSouth productions along with E/I programing company Litton Entertainment now Hearst Media Production Group selling their content to the networks and streamers. Streamers are not the real world that you're living, it's an internet apocalyse lead by the cheap prices offered by Big Tech and the local broadcasters are the alternative to missinformation and filling the void left by newspapers. Do your math right.

BTW how does INSP handle the Fox stations once owned by Cox/Apollo, most of them are once part of Northwest Broadcasting yet Cox/Apollo kept it's Fox station on Eugene, Oregon.

Why u gonna trust INSP despite they dont have a recent local TV station experience, Daystar aren't in the network affiliation and newscast business, Coastal/Vision Alaska are relying on NewsNet. I want groups and network owners not the religious ones, this is not like Salem or EMF buying radio stations.

Im keeping faith if the networks are adding local news into streaming, it wont be long if the networks and Sinclair's rivals will make a bid.

Probabay they can make a duopoly if they looking at either WTLJ or WLLA, WZZM might look at picking up MNTV and secondary ABC affiliation rights away from Nexstar and improved it's signal into Battle Creek and Kalamazoo if Tegna looks at WLLA and uses it subchannel to give full market ABC exclusivity. In case of Bally Sports Detroit collapses they can buy the local rights of 3 of the 4 Detroit sports teams in the West Michigan market.

BTW AMG is a minoriy shareholder of Bally Sports so he might swap his stake for more tv stations and probably 4 subchannel networks and the Tennis Channel.

U mean the timing of Donald Trump riding down the escalator for his presidental campaign the year after Sinclair bought Allbriton and Fisher. I see a pattern here and the damage is already done since Donald Trump popularized the terms misinformation and fake news along with the attacks of the left wing media something that copied from Fox News. Deadspin video compilation of Sinclair anchors saying "This is extremely dangerous to our democracy". Trump DOJ is also responsible to order Disney to sell what is now Bally Sports to Sinclair despite they got one sports experience with the Tennis Channel. Added to the Pandemic Misinformation and moving their network affliates from the affiliated sidecar stations to the subchannels of Sinclair stations on X.2 while subchannels like Dabl appearing on X.1 of the sidecar stations to circumvent FCC duopoly rules. How much more Sinclair damaged the local news and local sports industry?

They also bought WVTM and WJCL a decade ago. But I do wanna see a duopoly with either Sinclair's CW or MNTV station, although Nexstar might get more CWs to make duopolies with the Big 4 stations. WJCL used to have an LMA with WTGS but Hearst wasn't in the business in owning Fox affiliates. Of course with the cutbacks last year, the Sinclair owned Fox affiliates in Scranton, Macon, Savannah, and Columbia SC are bare bones staff as does WPMI in Mobile AL unlike WEAR in the neighboring Pensacola and WEYI/WSMH in Flint.

I’m sure Hearst might expand with more stations from Sinclair. More versions of Very Local anyone?

They used to own KOVR when Sinclair bought the owner of WLOS, WLXV, and KDNL in 1995. I never expected that Paramount predecessor Viacom bought KOVR and merged with KMAX or at least how SInclair handled KOVR in it's decade ownership.

TBH Sinclair ruined local sports and the local traditions of local news in Seattle, Porland (OR), and Washington DC. Not quite the markets to lure conservatives.

The only conflict there between Apollo and Paramount is in Boston and Pittsburgh along with the LMA in Jacksonville. I’m worried about ABC losing their top rated affiliates in Atlanta, Orlando, and Charlotte but it would be interesting to have CBS having an O&O in Dayton and Eugene where Sinclair competes the latter markets.

Tell that to the WNBA and the Caitlin Clark effect because they got women's leagues and Scripps National Spelling Bee.
