Since KASW and WPHL seems like duopoly bait, Arizona and Delaware (no Delmarva stations) may also be removed from Nexstar's grasp too. They'd have to clear cap space to buy any additional stations though.

Plus you have to haul and lug all those flags, and you have to keep track of the stand-ups making sure they match stations, you have to be cautious of outdated logos or network affiliation switches. ...and if and when you screw one up...it's all YOUR fault. How about just No mic flag and a nice new black Electro VoiceRE-50... Or a nice new black RE-50 and a generic Nexstar flag?

ColumbusNewsFan 217 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I'm starting to think Nexstar just buys stations for the Mic Flags. Kinda of an expensive way to build a collection.

Mic flags are cheap (start at around $50/piece - down to $30 or $20s if you buy more than 10 or 20 respectively ) and stations should be able spare one or two.

Samantha 2895 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) KASW did something: they acquired Phoenix Rising (USL) rights for 35 games including all USL fixtures. It may be a second-division team established in 2016, but it's rapidly catching fire here and almost won the USL league this past season. The rights move over from YurView (Cox), so this is the first time games will be available OTA. The deal doesn't affect streaming rights, which remain with ESPN+ (though streaming viewers only get the PRFC commentators for home games). The first game is a tournament game against Real Salt Lake on February 16. The station will also produce a local halftime show. This is the biggest sports rights get in 61's recent history and arguably the most impactful development since becoming a separate concern. The station had previously carried some Coyotes games from 1996-2006 (and one in 2013) and was the local OTA simulcast carrier for the 2015 NFC Wild Card Game. Also, reading articles that say "Your Phoenix CW" is a massive, massive kludge.
