Thread Note: Since Scripps has indicated they intend to run ION Media as a separate entity from their existing (mostly) news-producing stations, ION discussion has been relocated to a new thread.

Like a major news story, I thought this deserved a SPECIAL GRAPHIC, but in light of recent debuts, this is all we're gonna get...

General reminder that the "Action News" trademark is owned by Cox (and "Eyewitness News" is owned by CBS!) and stations have to pay to use them. Why should Scripps keep paying for a brand name for a f

The problem with Scripps stations like Fox 4 Ft Myers removing all talent (minus weather) from newscasts its that they're axing some of tv's last stand--personality.   In the era of informat

KMGH has made some sub-channel moves on April 13th.  KZCO-LD Aztecia America Colorado was taken off of 7.2 & replaced by Escape TV. On May 7th, 7.4 now has a blue screen saying programing is coming soon, i would assume this will be the new location for KZCO-LD?   KZCO-LD & KZCS-LD are both listed in FCC docs as being licensed as of May 7th.     Can anyone confirm or deny this?     KTFD-DT meanwhile dropped it's .4 sub channel 5/7/19.

WFTS will be adding 7 hours of new newscasts beginning on the 3rd of June. The catch? Much of it will be streaming only. Say hello to ABC Action News Streaming Now.

KSHB's general manager resigned on Thursday after 6 years. Her last day is June 2. She probably would've been fired had she not resigned. There were two racial discrimination lawsuits (in short succession) that the station partially (but not totally) was found at fault for, the husband-wife anchor duo suddenly resigning, as well as numerous other turnover during her tenure. No one really wanted to stay there.

Scripps basically had no choice but to inherit those Azteca affiliations on the McGraw-Hill stations. Entravision took Azteca away from them in San Diego, maybe they're planning on doing the same in Denver?

I think that is a possibility.  The Escape network has already been airing on KCEC 14.4 for years, and KCEC is the Univision affiliate owned by Entravision.  If Escape is now airing on KMGH 7.2, that does suggest that the same thing has happened in Denver meaning that Azteca will either reappear on 14.4 or on Entravision's other station KTFD on channel 50.3 and in the process move the Stadium sports network to 14.4 where it will be more visible.

 

The blank Soon on KMGH 7.3 could be anything, I do have a thought that maybe it will be the return of Weather Nation which I have missed since KUSA dropped it, but we'll see.
