CircleSeven 1944 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 On 12/10/2018 at 5:40 PM, Surplus Engineer said: This opens up an alternate scenario for the WHDT purchase. They make WHDT a new Court TV affiliate and they instantly get clearance in West Palm Beach, Miami, and Boston in one fell swoop. Or it could be a complete coincidence and they just toss a bunch of syndicated shows on it. Scripps is only taking the full-power station in Stuart. They're not acquiring the LP repeater in MIami, nor the station in Boston. Anywho, the FCC just greenlighted the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry this is a bit late, but they’ve been doing this on and off in recent times (IIRC, they did it about a year ago, the stopped).

east-tx-tv 105 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 A full 5 months after the driver of a pickup decided to ram into the side of the building at KDFW in downtown Dallas, the impact spots have had nothing but the plywood treatment. No word on what will be done, nor any new stories about the man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the situation with the attorney, I don't know what to think. It seems a bit unethical. At any rate, I am sad to see him go. In some of the candid facebook stuff they used to do in the studio, Reggie seemed like a serious news guy. He had a good run. While it may have been ethically questionable -- reporters using their connections is something that happens all the time. I can't imagine his friendship with the lawyer is something WTSP didn't know until now. Seems to me like Tegna, which has a notorious distaste for over-50s, was looking for a reason to can him and the newspaper article was it. Is anyone over 50 even left there anymore? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had that main anchor who replaced Dennis Bounds that lasted like a year and a half. Revolving door. Who's still left there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkolsen 1678 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if Ed Ansin put some weird thing in the Trust for WHDH/WLVI and WSVN prohibiting their station from ever affiliating with or being purchased by NBC or any form of it in the future. You know like The 700 Club airing on ABC Family years after numerous ownership changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disney offered CBN a year's worth of the money they get from airing the show and its semi-annual telethons to buy it out, but Pat declined.

I’ll ask someone to resolve the conflict Wow, you’re not the sharpest tool in the tool shed, are you? NBC is not shuttering NBC Boston’s news department. Period. Lemme explain to you why NBC is going to continue running newscasts despite “negative reviews.” MONEY! As long as NBC Boston can sell ad rates at a decent amount and turn a profit, then ratings won't matter as much as you think. This is also why stations have slowly begun to phase out syndicated programming in daytime — they can keep all the revenue in-house rather than sharing it with syndicators. You sound like Mardek’s cousin from Philadelphia who seems to think that shuttering a news department fixes its problems. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they hadn’t been turning some sort of a profit, CBS would have unloaded it long ago and wiped their hands of that mess...
