NBC would love to get rid of WTWC, which has been a 'get a tall tower to view a competent NBC station' since Sinclair starved out its news plans in 2000 to become a WB affiliate in all but network programming. WCTV has a spare sister with MeTV (WFXU) which would allow them a better affiliate with the market's top news department and a traffic department that's not embarrassed about its public reach.

Tallahassee is about as backwoods as a state capital can be, especially for Florida.  Sinclair could have capitalized on that, but they didn't.  Instead, you have WCTV and whatever's left of WTXL when Scripps stops stripping it (and their sister stations) for parts.

 

Meanwhile, the less media, the better for all of the state politicians who bow down to Lord DeSantis and his regime over Florida.
