NewsMaster 226 Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 I thought Sinclair bought Pappas but I guess they only bought parts of it. I've noticed that a lot of people seem to be resenting the fact that KHAS is now owned by the same people who one 10/11. Sinclair bought Titan TV Broadcast Group, which was made up of stations that Pappas sold after they filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2008.
mre29 1588 Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 I hope Jannette did not actually read all those rants posted below her... Looks more like one rant spread across three comments to me One long, keyword-laden rant. (Begin glazing-over of eyes... NOW!)
Samantha 2907 Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 I cannot post anything about Nebraska of substance without later getting a Twitter rant from James. It's truly frustrating. I have great insight into the Lincoln-Hastings-Kearney market and all I get for it are Twitter rants. Mr. Cieloha, I would kindly appreciate it if you stopped mentioning me.

hathawaynson2 39 Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 When I read two paragraphs of this rant, I had to stop at going strong. The rest the rant threw me off a ton.

Mrtraveler01 739 Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Bumping this thread. Gray's WSAZ Affiliate was very lucky not to loose its transmitter building and things..http://www.wsaz.com/news/headlines/Tower-Fire-Knocks-WSAZ-Off-Air--278461281.html This guy deserves some recognition. Sounds like he really saved the station. Quick thinking by WSAZ Engineer Okey Meadows likely saved the entire building at the station's broadcast tower. Meadows was at the nearby Tristate's CW transmitter because of a generator failure and decided to check on the WSAZ transmission site while he was there. As he drove up to the site, he saw smoke and seconds later an explosion. He grabbed a fire extinguisher and started fighting the flames while waiting for fire crews to arrive. "He was very selfless, he was safe in his methods of doing it," WSAZ Chief Engineer Aaron Withrow said. "He really saved the generator and the facility."
DirtyHarry 745 Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 This guy deserves some recognition. Sounds like he really saved the station. Stupid. You don't risk your life over something like this - especially with a tank full of diesel fuel underground. Not to mention that if some Wall Street robber baron ever got ahold of Gray, they wouldn't think twice about giving him his walking papers and replacing him with someone cheaper.

Must be the same guy who managed to turn a straight-up swap between Cox and Fox into grand anarchy over at Radio Discussions. To which I ask, where's the punctuation?
CircleSeven 1963 Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Grand Junction's KJCT Channel 8 now have new calls. Effective today, KJCT is now KGBY. I wouldn't be shocked if new calls come about for KXJB, & KAQY post-transaction.
CircleSeven 1963 Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Grand Junction's KJCT Channel 8 now have new calls. Effective today, KJCT is now KGBY. I wouldn't be shocked if new calls come about for KXJB, & KAQY post-transaction. Just found this too. The FCC granted Gray a waiver to switch the virtual channels of KJCT (now KGBY) 8 & KKHD-LP 20. The LP station (which will also move the ABC programming too) will have VC 8, while full-power KGBY will have VC 20.
broadcastfan9751 140 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Update out of Fargo. According to a user on AVS Forum, KVLY 11.2 began broadcasting KXJB programming this morning, with Me-TV moving to 11.3, although it appears KXJB is still on the air.

CircleSeven 1963 Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 New callsigns for two Gray Spinoffs. KAQY is now KMLU. And KHAS is now KNHL. And back on November 19, KJCT went back to the old callsign. I'm not sure why they did it, but I assume that they'll probably change it back to KGBY when the deal closes. It'll be interesting to see what KXJB's new callsign is going to be.
CircleSeven 1963 Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 The Gray spinoff deals of KJCT, KXJB, KMLU (KAQY) & KNHL (KHAS), has been greenlighted by the FCC today.
CircleSeven 1963 Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 New callsigns for KNDX/KXND. On December 2, KXND changed its calls to KNDM. And today, KNDX is now KNDB.

KJCT is now on channel 20. So here is how they get now: KKHD-LP (VC 8, RF 20) 8.1 ABC 8.2 CW (All in 720p HD) KKCO (VC 11, RF 12) 11.1 NBC (1080i) 11.2 MeTV (480i) 11.3 TeleMundo (720p) KJCT → (KGBY?)

TheRolyPoly 2658 Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 KXJB's final sign-off, if your interested:
CircleSeven 1963 Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 First set of consummations. All happened yesterday (12/15). KMLU, closed. Parker is just down to two (KXJB & KFQX). KNHL, closed. Hoak is just down to one (KAUZ). KJCT, closed. Bye-Bye Excalibur. KNDB/KNDM, closed. Bye-Bye Prime Cities.
CircleSeven 1963 Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Now the FCC just changed KJCT back to KGBY. Callsign effective on the date of consummation (12/15/14).
