broadcastfan9751 140 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Are Sinclair must runs insterted into newscasts that are produced by 3rd parties ? (Like WRLH, KSAS, WDKY, etc) I don't think they have any during the newscasts themselves, although they might still have to air the Mark Hyman commentaries either during a commercial break or following the newscasts. For example, according to Wikipedia WSMH, after having its newscasts taken over by WNEM in 2006 (WEYI took it over two years ago), continued to air The Point after the newscasts until it was discontinued.

ColtFromGulfcoast 708 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 http://www.centralvalleybusinesstimes.com/stories/001/?ID=33675 Idk if this has already been posted but Fresno people. If y'all are looking to work in Omaha without going to Omaha, Sinclair's got you. You know, cause it's totally in the public interest to have newscasts coming from the other side of the country. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13758-sinclair-broadcast-group-general-discussion/page/39/#findComment-189579 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eat News 4745 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 They been doing this practice for over four years now. And the networks have been doing this for about 90 years. Why would a newscast based in NYC be any different than one based in Fresno? There is no longer any need for being based in a particular city now we have the wonderful information super highway. No more MOS...just twitter quotes. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13758-sinclair-broadcast-group-general-discussion/page/39/#findComment-189608 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have to pour a cognac and light a cigar...and ponder the part about apples and oranges. Actually I'm just being a cranky old bitch. Look, If these regional and out of market produced newscast suck so bad then nobody will watch. I remember when KNBC was doing some of the WX for KNSD during the depression...it was sucky...people hated it. They noticed. When people demand a better local newscast they will get it. Affluent communities that can support decent local newscast get OK coverage, because they can support the ad base. Poor communities are going to get crappy coverage if they cannot support the local TV news outlets. The tide will turn as it always does.

CircleSeven 1955 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Speaking of Cunningham, it has recently filed an application to the FCC to Transfer the Control of the shell corporation to Michael Anderson. Cunningham was operated by him, and the trust of the late Carolyn Smith (wife of Sinclair's founder Julian Smith, and her maiden name is Cunningham). This reasoning of this application is to wind down that trust and to give all the Cunningham control to Michael Anderson. After over 57 months, the FCC has finally greenlighted this 316 transfer.

scrabbleship 429 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Can't buy an NBC affiliation. (Or KSL.) I know Sinclair reupped their CBS affiliation contract not too long ago but I wonder how much work it would be to undo the 1995 KUTV/KSL swap. Sinclair has all the leverage to get what they theoretically want in this case. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13758-sinclair-broadcast-group-general-discussion/page/39/#findComment-192063 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eat News 4745 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Can't buy an NBC affiliation. (Or KSL.) But you CAN get a few hours of "quality time" at one of the Elko legal brothels. I searched it...I clicked on it...I looked at the pictures . Once that newscast is gone...those boys in those northern "cow counties" will have a little more extra time on their hands. Come to think of it... O.J Simpson did his time at the prison in Lovelock...just down the way a bit. Maybe they just ran out of news now that OJ is gone. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13758-sinclair-broadcast-group-general-discussion/page/39/#findComment-192064 Share on other sites More sharing options...
