JCB4TV 347 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Susquehanna would not be clean, as they are ranked 2nd and 3rd. Memphis is not clean either. My lists have been corrected. As for Susquehanna, aren't the rankings as follows: 1. WGAL, 2. The Field? 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12826-nexstaragain/page/48/#findComment-211220 Share on other sites More sharing options...

east-tx-tv 121 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I wonder what Nexstar could do with KDAF, after their mixed approach to news up to now--and Nexstar (strangely) never having owned a station in its own area before. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12826-nexstaragain/page/48/#findComment-211238 Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.L. Hughes 890 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I’m thinking Nexstar would start news operations from the ground-up for KDAF and KIAH. You could also suggest that Nexstar could transfer news production for WDCW to WDVM, whether it be shifting the latter's news department over to the former (possibly under a joint branding scheme such as which exists between WTVW/WEHT or WBRE/WYOU) or simulcasting some of WDVM's newscasts on WDCW. Here are the Conflict Markets where new homes would be needed: DMA 28: Indianapolis DMA 30: Utah DMA 32: Connecticut DMA 43: West Michigan DMA 45: Susquehanna DMA 47: Hampton Roads DMA 50: Memphis DMA 55: Richmond DMA 57: NE Pennsylvania DMA 68: Des Moines DMA 80: North Alabama DMA 98: NW Arkansas DMA 102: Quad Cities Note: Please do not attempt to resolve conflicts by selling to your BFF, poker buddy, car dealer, etc for pennies on the dollar. There are cases here where Nexstar could easily decide to flip stations, and ones where they would mull over which conflicts to sell. Take Fort Smith-Fayetteville-Rogers for example, KFSM presumptively tops KNWA in the ratings, so they might consider taking KFSM/KXNW over keeping KNWA/KFTA based mainly on that reasoning. Though, the Tribune outlets in most of these markets outrank the Nexstar stations in terms of local news and/or total day viewership in most cases, which might blow the first part of my theory. I think Hartford and the Hampton Roads area are cases where the inverse is true, in which the Tribune outlet is outranked by the Nexstar station. Of the non-conflict outlets, WPHL is a crapshoot. It is not clear how much revenue share from political advertising they conceivably could get, given that WPHL presumably has a relatively marginal audience share compared to the Big Four and Spanish language O&Os in the market and even WPSG. It seems to me like duopoly bait for Fox, and Nexstar could easily leave it on the table for Fox to pick off just to stay under the national cap. The political ad revenue could be worth it for Nexstar to acquire it, maybe. The most interesting point is that, depending on how many stations Nexstar gets if it reaches a deal, the group could conceivably have (near-)ubiquitous or merely widespread coverage in several states where it has a few stations already (namely California, Illinois, Louisiana, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and especially Texas). Though that really depends on which stations Fox were to pick off in between three and five of those states.

TexasTVNews 1377 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I’m thinking Nexstar would start news operations from the ground-up for KDAF and KIAH. Throw away the NewsFix and Morning Dose and start building in-house news departments for 'DAF and 'IAH and that includes WGNO, they need to say goodbye with News with a Twist and revive it newscasts as well.

T.L. Hughes 890 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) KLAS is now facing some pressure to air a story concerning an accusation against Nevada gubernatorial candidate Adam Laxalt. According to sources with the independent news site Pace Vegas, KLAS reporter Vanessa Murphy was told by station management to sit on the story in which a former classmate of Laxalt's at Tulane University claimed she was raped by Laxalt in 1996 while a student at the university. Podcast host David Pakman disclosed in a segment on his show that he had talked to the accuser about the accusations in question. Considering the controversy concerning how Congressmen and Trump treated the accusations of sexual assault against Brett Kavanaugh by Christine Blasey-Ford, KLAS's editorial decision to withhold the story is problematic.

GoldenShine9 1513 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) FCC has greenlighted the KRBK & WHDF deals today (10/17). Did KRBK require a "top 4" waiver, or did they approve it by it being in a different DMA? If the former, then Gray-Raycom should be approved soon, since there is no obvious hold up other than the Hawaii issue.
