Plus KAMR in Amarillo is also hiring for a Meteorologist since Britany Trumpy left for Myrtle Beach. And I believe KXXV in Waco is also.

JCB4TV 347 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Today, January 2, 2020, is the 25th anniversary of the affiliation switches in Boston and Baltimore that was the result of the Westinghouse-CBS alliance. In Boston, the switch was straightforward, Group W's WBZ dropped NBC to join CBS while Sunbeam's WHDH departed CBS to join NBC. In Baltimore, the switch was a little more complicated, Scripps' WMAR went from NBC to ABC, Hearst's WBAL dropped CBS and rejoined NBC, and Group W's WJZ left ABC for CBS.

Should FOX be waiting for Ansin to pass, would they actually want F O&Os in AFC East markets? The Patriots' dynasty could end as early as this weekend, and the Dolphins are several years away from contending. If FOX wants an O&O in the AFC East, they can try WUTV/WNYO, Sinclair dogs in Buffalo.

I think the possibilities does exist as far as a potential affiliation switch is concerned the biggest question mark may come down to this: How dissatisfied is Fox right now with WFXT? Is the negotiations between Cox and Fox not going well in Boston?

The other half sees this as potentially catastrophic for Coxpollo. Adding in the ex-Northwest stations, Cox has Fox affiliates in nine other markets. Some of those markets might be a bit difficult to find stations in, The Delta (where Cox has a monopoly) and possibly Jacksonville (WJXT seems to be fine not pursuing a network) among them. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/394/#findComment-238166 Share on other sites More sharing options...
