Does Gray still start at $18 an hour?

Sinclair starts at $15 IIRC....

 

If that's true, that's bleak.

It must be. New York is decent about salary transparency so I screenshot stations in upstate.

WTWO announced today it has hired former WTHI anchor Patrece Dayton as a part time reporter. Dayton was part of the massive layoffs at WTHI/Allen Media earlier in the year.

More Nexstar stations are adding "Plus" apps to Roku, Amazon and Apple TV including WKRG, WDTN, WJBF, WKBN, WTAJ, WHNT, WIAT, and other middle-market stations.

Still some laggards like WGNO and KOLR.

 

Even through the web sites still seem to indicate "delayed streams" of newscasts, they appear to be live now on the apps.  About time!

 

Now the question is, will Nexstar put their stations on another app like LocalNow, NewsON or Zeam?  They're very much behind the curve in this regard. 
Sinclair is a little better with total reach on NewsON, and some reach on LocalNow and Stirr, the app they used to run but sold off last year

The other groups and even the single stations / small companies like WFMJ, WRAL, WBRZ/KRGV, and KTVN/WRCB also have their stations on standalone apps and stream on sites.

 

Nexstar is getting better but still has a ways to go.  So many of the Tribune and Media General stations had better streaming options before Nexstar took over.

Boy is Nexstar reversing so much from the past two years. It sounds like a pause back in 2023 to figure out their streaming strategy before resuming within the past couple of months.

 

Still a long way to go, yes. Still waiting for the KTVX/KUCW version on Roku.
