What's with these people who think that just because a certain company is going to take over, they're going to destroy it. If anything, I think WGHP along with KTLA will remain the same though I can't be sure what'll happen in the future. At least Nexstar won't be able to acquire any more stations because they'll be near that FCC mandated limit and the unintentional benefit is that there'll be opportunities for station groups to at least get something out of this. But be forewarned, the station groups of today are not like the station groups of yesteryear.

The Frog 429 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I gotta say, I'm surprised that Fox is taking a pass. Feels like yesterday when they announced the spin-offs they were buying from Sinclair. More stations was the New Fox game plan. And now they're like... no thanks, more retrans please. Hello Amazon?

channel2 979 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 They probably think the Nexstar spin-offs are "overpriced." This is what they get for sitting the Local TV sweepstakes out in 2013 - or not bothering to bid for Tribune either time it's been for sale since. In Murdoch's words, they're not gonna get any cheaper.

I think, perhaps, Fox doesn’t want to lose WSVN as one of their affiliates, as that station, based on what I’ve read in the past, has been one of Fox’s Strongest and most successful stations.

In those cases, only KSTU is part of a conflict anyway (and it wouldn't conflict for any other group with Sinclair grounded as a local owner owns KSL). Plus I think they were scared of Sinclair in the last deal.

Show me me where he plagiarized anything. All he did was rewrite the story....AND he posted a link. You can't be more transparent than that.

Giving up on KCPQ is very telling. They went so far as to enter negotiations with a border station no one knew about back several years ago just to put pressure on Tribune. Thing is, with this “new” Fox, they have no in-house production/distribution pipeline for conventional programming and will be reliant on sports play-by-play. That’s fine, but it is going to cost a lot, especially with sports. And you either have to recoup the cost by forcing the cable companies to pay through the nose, or forcing the affiliates to pay through the nose, leading the affiliates to force the cable companies to pay through the nose. Because of Nexstar’s past tiffs with Fox - where multiple disaffiliations took place in 2011 because of affiliation fees - that is the most shocking part of this. Fox apparently learned nothing from that experience.

Webovision 202 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 fox is looking at the future... the same reason abc isn't buying stations... because local ota tv is going the way of the dodo... those new affiliation agreements will probably include stipulations for streaming... as in fox controls where they stream and not the affiliate... a step towards streaming-only... that bloomberg article says nothing about retrans agreements... just affiliation agreements...
