Viper550 291 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Sinclair's acquisition of Four Points Media Group has been closed. Sinclair now has KUTV, KMYU, KEYE, WTVX, WTCN-CA, WWHB-CA and WLWC in their arsenal. Four Points? More like Four Facepalms... and you thought Nexstar running them was bad enough.

It won't be long before "Sincrap" closes the deal on the stations from Freedom Communications. And once it does, now is the time to complain. So which station group will be next to be bought by another station group? Only time will tell.

Viper550 291 Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 And on a related note, to get bought out of the LMA and such, Nexstar has scored $6.7 million dollars from Sincrap As if Nexstar needed more money anyway...

kjohnson 17 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 At least two will become KDNL clones within a few years; a shell of tv station, but not really a tv station.

Guest Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Interesting to see what will happen in Salt Lake City as KUTV has grabbed a decent share of the viewers away from KSL and leads some timeslots. Are they still producing the news for the station in Florida?

bhratbrat 437 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Last time I checked No they weren't. That agreement ended in 2009. However with the recent agreement for Sinclair (or Sincrap) to also buy out WPEC and Freedom Broadcasting, I would say all bets that the CW West Palm gets a newscast again.
