Eat News 4738 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I'm really in agreement. Small local broadcasters like Bonneville (which in TV is just one station), Griffin, Capitol, the Wolfes, etc. need leverage more than anything. The leverage they have is the local viewers. each one of those "local" viewers becomes worth more, and more each day, as the viewing options become more fragmented. They have more power than you might think...they have the viewers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise when dealing with cable companies, websites, technology, hubbing, interactive television, etc. I don't know all the legal ins and outs, but arranging things like a partnership or banding together somehow would allow them to have scale when it comes to the things that don't matter when it comes to the product people see.

mike91 66 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I'm thinking that the best thing for the family owned stations would be to form some kind of co-op (think IGA grocery stores) where they would remain independently owned, but they have resources through this co-op to help them negotiate affiliation contracts, syndicated programming, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure someone at the networks/big groups would cry "collusion". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvcg66b3r 97 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 WRAL GM on Airing Super Bowl and Olympics in Same Year TVSpy: What challenges/opportunities do the two events present the station? Hammel: With the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50, we’re very excited about the opportunity to cover the Panthers in what will have the most eyeballs on our Station. Of course, this will be our first year broadcasting the Super Bowl and the Olympics and we will make certain to make the most of it for our viewers. TVSpy: Are you planning any specials around the two broadcasts? Hammel: We are planning at least three specials. We’ll air the first two this coming Thursday and Friday at 7 p.m. The third will be an hour long postgame show on Sunday night. This will be a very special year for us as we look to cover the local athletes, parents and coaches in Rio. In conjunction with NBC, we’ll air half hour broadcasts, The Olympic Zone, every night of the Olympics at 7:30 p.m. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/wral-gm-on-airing-super-bowl-and-olympics-in-same-year/162889 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriangleTriadMediaNews 267 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I put a call into WRAL today and all they told me was that Dr. Phil was moving to 11am and the secondary run at 2pm. I'm going to call again tomorrow and see if I can get somebody in programming. They had already left for the day, I'm just relaying this from the receptionist.

IGA wholesalers do a lot of the computer stuff, POS, store design, name tags, uniforms and stuff like that for the individual store owner. Technology costs a lot of money. Better to do an app once instead of fifty times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand corrected, WRAL put out an updated schedule. Dr. Phil at 11a and 3p, the Doctors at 2p, and Inside Edition/ET remain at 7 & 7:30pm as they are now. No word on weekend AM newscasts/Today time as of yet. http://www.wral.com/wral-tv-move-to-nbc-faqs/15241044/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it will also lead in to their noon newscast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEOMatrix 1295 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I wonder if the HD channels on TWC for WNCN and WRAL will switch since Raleigh-Durham is on the National Channel Lineup. IIRC, it won't be as bad since now, if you tune in to WRAL on cable channel 3, you get WRAL-HD. However, if you're insistent on tuning to the "true" HD channel, Time Warner's NCL, no matter the market, places CBS on 1206 and NBC on 1212.

T.L. Hughes 760 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 It's a first-run/secondary run, like most stations do. Sometimes the secondary run airs on a co-owned or co-managed station. So that would mean the secondary episode is one that aired weeks prior, then. In some markets, though, where Dr. Phil airs on a duopoly, the co-owned/co-managed station just airs a same-day repeat of the first run episode seen hours earlier on its parent station. KWTV/KSBI has had this arrangement since this past September, where the first run episode that airs on KWTV at 3:00 p.m. re-airs on KSBI at 6:00 that evening (the secondary run of Dr. Phil hasn't aired here in OKC since 2012, when KOCO replaced the repeat airing that followed Nightline with an encore of Katie).

TriangleTriadMediaNews 267 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I think the secondary airing is a week behind the main schedule.

mvcg66b3r 97 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 WRAL Airing News Instead of Colbert After Super Bowl Instead of airing the Late Show with Stephen Colbert after the Super Bowl, Raleigh CBS affiliate WRAL is airing an hour of its own post game, to cover the home team. But the station tells TVSpy it has nothing to do with the fact that WRAL won’t be a CBS affiliate in a few weeks. In an effort to hang on to Carolina Panther fans, the Capitol Broadcasting-owned station is pushing The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to after its late local news, which is expanding to an hour tonight. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/wral-airing-news-instead-of-colbert-after-super-bowl/163374 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
