Eat News 4745 Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 The Department of Justice has filed suit to block Tribune Publishing for acquiring the newspapers owned by Freedom Communications. Tribune Publishing owns the LA Times while Freedom owns Orange County Register & Riverside County Press-Enterprise. Tribune recently won (at a bankruptcy auction) to acquire the remaining assets of Freedom early Thursday Morning, when the DOJ filed suit hours later. The DOJ fear that should the deal go through, Tribune would have a monopoly in print media in the OC & in Riverside. Tribune stated that it will defend the legality of the sale. Freedom previously own several television stations prior to the end of 2011, when it sold its broadcasting arm to Sinclair. God forbid Tribune gets a monopoly on something nobody reads. 1
WestleyWolf 122 Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 CBS 13 News at 6:30 on CW 31 with Adrienne Moore and Dave Baker. This is a regular newscast, not just a temporary thing. KOVR 13 already does 11:00pm news for KMAX 31. It's Dave Bender.
TheRolyPoly 2592 Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 It's Dave Bender. Just realized that. Apologies.
WestleyWolf 122 Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Just realized that. Apologies. No Problem.
JoseRM303 171 Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Boston ABC affiliate WCVB cutting it's hour long 10 pm newscasts on MeTv to 30 minutes after its launch 3 weeks ago http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/3/21/that-didnt-take 1
TexasTVNews 1378 Posted March 21, 2016 Author Posted March 21, 2016 It looks like WKBW's Keith Radford isn't going anywhere anytime soon, its because the Buffalo's ABC affiliate has extended his contract. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/it-looks-like-this-buffalo-anchor-is-getting-a-new-contract/166436 2

Let the audience find their way (and where MeTV Boston is) and give it a while.
Greggo 358 Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Boston ABC affiliate WCVB cutting it's hour long 10 pm newscasts on MeTv to 30 minutes after its launch 3 weeks ago http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/3/21/that-didnt-take Surprising to see a station as strong as WCVB make such a knee-jerk decision.
rkolsen 1686 Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Surprising to see a station as strong as WCVB make such a knee-jerk decision. I will add that I'm surprised they did not have a 10pm newscast long before this. Most Hearst stations have had them for ages either on their sister station or subchannel. 1
scrabbleship 429 Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Surprising to see a station as strong as WCVB make such a knee-jerk decision. The newscast should have been 30 minutes from the start. In a market which already has 3 stations on for a full hour at 10 (plus WBIN), a half hour newscast has its advantages. Also, being on a subchannel has its disadvantages especially in terms of being less visible and lack of carriage on satellite. 1

Guest NewsHound Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 WTKR's supposed to be getting a new set soon [MEDIA=twitter]712250026706210816[/MEDIA] Is it too much to hope they'll get the WTTV graphics?
TheRolyPoly 2592 Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Is it too much to hope they'll get the WTTV graphics? As I predicted before... I have a feeling they will go the WREG way and use WREG graphics.
Guest NewsHound Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 As I predicted before... I have a feeling they will go the WREG way and use WREG graphics. Isn't it the same package though but with more red than orange?
TheRolyPoly 2592 Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Isn't it the same package though but with more red than orange? Yes and without the CBS logo on it, since WREG uses its "3" and not the CBS eye.
tyrannical bastard 4036 Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Hopefully a new "3" is in order and the old one is sent back to WJM's parent company 2
TheRolyPoly 2592 Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Hopefully a new "3" is in order and the old one is sent back to WJM's parent company Meow! (trying to imitate MTM Enterprises) 1

CircleSeven 1960 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 The Department of Justice has filed suit to block Tribune Publishing for acquiring the newspapers owned by Freedom Communications. So a big follow-up. Since the Feds were recently granted the its request to block the sale, Freedom changed course and accepted a $52M bid from runner-up bidder Digital First Media. The bankrupt court approved that sale on Monday.
ATL46 11 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Like 3 months ago. how come it is just now coming out?
TVNewsLover 787 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 how come it is just now coming out? It's not. It was out last year. I see you got it from the "On the Move 3/22/16" post. The "On the Move" post tend to sometimes have months old info on there, similar to FTVLive's "Changing Jobs". They must be press releases that are send out by agents on a quarterly basis. 1
