TheRolyPoly 2362 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Loads of news here but no time to create new posts or threads elsewhere so here we go... For the first time since the 2007-2008 season, Gray is partnering up with the Hornets to simulcast five of their games on their OTA stations. This joins a separate agreement with Cox for WSOC and WAXN in the main home market. In Raleigh, it'll be CBC's WRAZ 50.2. https://tvnewscheck.com/programming/article/charlotte-hornets-partner-with-gray-media-to-simulcast-five-games-ota-in-the-carolinas/?utm_source=Listrak&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=Charlotte+Hornets+Partner+With+Gray+Media+To+Simulcast+Five+Games+OTA+In+The+Carolinas&utm_campaign=Charlotte+Hornets+Partner+With+Gray+Media+To+Simulcast+Five+Games+OTA+In+The+Carolinas C-SPAN is all over cable and satellite but not on streaming.

nathannah 2402 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 If the other site is to be believed, the mess at WDJT is so bad that Norm Shapiro actually made the drive up to Milwaukee for the first time in decades to talk to everyone in West Allis and take in what's going on. Weigel is pretty hands off and autonomous about their markets outside Chicago and they rarely meddle, so for the big boss to actually come into Milwaukee (and probably complaining about having to pay the tolls up the Tri-State) means heads are going to roll.

TheRolyPoly 2362 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I have a feeling that this is the beginning of the actual end of NECN. Just by looking at the schedule... they've now taken out the 4-8pm New England-focused block of news in favor of WBTS Boston's news once again. New England-specific news is now down to 7-10am, 11am-2, and 3-4pm. NBC and WBTS have worked together to destroy this channel. https://www.necn.com/news/local/were-saying-goodbye-to-necn-com-heres-where-to-get-your-new-england-news/3436896/ Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/521/#findComment-303260 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mre29 1513 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Quote Now, you’ll be able to access NECN’s written, video and interactive content covering Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont on the NBC10 Boston mobile app, NBCBoston.com and the NBC10 Boston app on Fire and Roku. They couldn't be bothered to mention that Connecticut news is covered by their sister station that's actually in Connecticut? Lovely.
