CircleSeven 1955 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I guess since Sinclair has the world's first television station WRGB & CW station WCWN, and Young having WTEN & tag-team partner Shield Media's Fox station, WXXA, why WNYT has to be left out in the cold without another station to play with? So the B&C has posted today that Hubbard Broadcasting has announced that it will acquire MyNetworkTV affiliate WNYA from Venture Technologies. They didn't announce how much Hubbard is paying for this MyNetworkTV station. Well probably find out when they file the paperwork to the FCC, as they'll wait for their approval. I'm glad I'm hearing a different station group buying a station and not that other two that have been running the gauntlet in buying stations left and right. You know who I'm talking about, one is already in the market. EDIT: The ball really dropped with the announcement of yet another acquisition news relating to one of those groups a couple of hours later.

CircleSeven 1955 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 Okay, the paperwork of WNYA's Assignment of License consent is finally is up. The Hubbard family is buying WNYA for $2.3 mil, and is seeking a "failed station waiver" to acquire the station. Also the sale does not include low-power station WNYA-CA. Venture Technologies will still own the low-power station.

CircleSeven 1955 Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 As of Wednesday, the FCC greenlighted the assignment of license of WNYA to Hubbard Broadcasting. WNYT stated that the deal could be consummated within the next 30 to 40 days.
