ABC 7 Denver 1734 Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 Just now, who?cares said: Sounds like the name of a delivery pot service. Well, we do have bomb-ass weed. With all the news going down with this administration, this is the place that newsies want to be.
tyrannical bastard 4057 Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 Thankfully Nexstar hasn't done that with their stations since the Media General merger. I think a few have gone back to the original web addresses as well. Look wise, Tribune has a few decent graphics package floating around, but the generic Tribune look is a lot like the Nexstar CBS package. Hopefully some of the goodness from Tribune will remain like it did with Media General. But the cost-cutting could be a killer, as there has been a lot of departures since the Media General merger.... Get ready for a lot more Alan Sealls-type deals where they low-ball longtime staffers out the door with lousy contracts....
Spintech33 126 Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 It appears that the FCC has given the OK for Nexstar and Tribute merger.. It looks like LA and Chicago may take a hit on the merger. Haven't heard anything yet on WPIX as of yet.

The whole deal, including the WPIX spin-off to Scripps was approved.

JCB4TV 352 Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 On my way to the airport in OKC, I made a pit stop at the KFOR/KAUT Studios to say a brief prayer for them. KFOR, “Oklahoma’s News 4,” will be on its EIGHTH owner since Oklahoma Publishing had to divest the station in 1975.

Maybe we'll see a Fox Affiliate Network? Nah. 2. Nexstar will sell KDVR to Fox and keep the studio lease which will allow them to negotiate as they keep KWGN and negotiate to keep FOX as the operator of both. 3. Get ready for MileHighNow.com Nexstar seems to have stopped with the dumb website addresses.

Is the Tribune Creative West unit being acquired by Nexstar as part of the merger? If so then you may have answered some of your own questions
detroiter313 181 Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 I wonder what's the future hold for the other Tribune properties, such as WGN America, WGN-AM, CLTV, 2 subchannel networks , plus a stake of Food Network, now that the Nexstar-Tribune deal is near completion? It should be noted that prior to the announcement of that deal, Nexstar has never owned radio stations, cable networks or subchannel networks throughout its 23 year history.
tyrannical bastard 4057 Posted September 18, 2019 Posted September 18, 2019 How long will it take for Nexstar to make something out of News With A Twist? Thanks to the skies, I'm watching WGNO right now on antenna....they even added a info ticker! WFLA & WTVT were even coming in for a hot second....but it's gone now.

channel2 982 Posted September 18, 2019 Posted September 18, 2019 What even happened to WGNO? Wasn't their product pretty good early on?

WGN Radio and CLTV have a good chance to stay with Nexstar considering they're all-local and WGN isn't just regurgitating the Premiere standard schedule (it also helps that iHeart and Cumulus are unlikely to be buyers in Chicago at this point, and Entercom won't dare sell WSCR or WBBM to pick it up). WGN America is likely to be sold to a highest bidder or a lower-tier network who will buy out the satellite slot to get a leg up, and at this point the Food Network stake is so silent it's a 'oh yeah, we do own that' part of the transaction they're unlikely to change. This TV is a dead network walking, but as seen with the sudden dumps of MeTV being listed in O&A, it looks like Nexstar has something in the works for Antenna TV.

It was alright at first and then when Tribune started tinkering with the formats... Uh... Yeah, it pretty much went downhill. Bear in mind that Nexstar tried to fix then WPTY by changing the call letters to WATN and changed the branding to Local 24 but all of that only netted them exactly how Nexstar got them in the first place. In the case of New Orleans, the WATN-like changes could net WGNO into a 3rd place station. 57 minutes ago, GoldenShine9 said: Can they make any headway against the competition though? It's surprising with all that has happened WDSU hasn't pulled away from everyone else - they have been the beacon of stability in the market. With WWL declining the way they are it wouldn't surprise me one bit to see WGNO surge into third place even with the things I've already mentioned in this post.

I don't understand why Tegna would want that station. Never mind. I thought Tegna was buying the other station.
