AJClementeFan69 477 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 About time. The Raycom websites were some of the worst around IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenShine9 1509 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) You can add a few more with the new website design: WBTV, WECT and WIS. Only three stations remain and they should be switched in the next couple days I would think. Edited June 14, 2021 by GoldenShine9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenShine9 1509 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Two of them, WWBT and WVIR, switched. The last holdout is WFLX (which Scripps actually does the heavy lifting in). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's technically one holdout left, KNIN, where Scripps also does the heavy lifting, yet, they use the Revrocket platform unlike to other Raycom stations before Gray.

They're probably the only RevRocket holdout, since the other stations that used it were the ones divested to Lockwood, who has since implemented standard websites.

CLETVFan 363 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 WLFM-6 (former Franken-FM at 87.7) in Cleveland has been purchased by Gray. It will join up with WOIO-19 and WUAB-43. https://www.rbr.com/gray-gains-a-cleveland-lptv-property/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven 1944 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Gray is LP-picking again. This time, its in Richmond. They're acquiring WRID-LD from Daystar (Word of God Fellowship) for $630K. I don't see this being more than a UHF repeater to WWBT & WUPV (since they're on RF 10 & 8, respectively). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a thought... I like the sound of "CBS 6". It gives them a chance to escape all of the stigma of the years of "19" and their place in the basement. Since it's a UHF station with the PSIP of 6, it could be a chance of finally rebranding "WOIO". Almost like WBMA-LP was the source of the programming of ABC 33/40, WOIO's current signal could simply become another repeater of WLFM, just for branding purposes. WUAB could be as-is, shoehorned onto WOIO's signal with their existing "43" PSIP. Any other translators would relay like they've always done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1944 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 So Gray is adding another weekly program to join Greta. Its investigative unit is launching a new weekly half-hour program this weekend, appropriately titled InvestigateTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1944 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) So we now know what they'll be using WLFM-LD for. WOIO will be launching a new Telemundo affiliate for Northeast Ohio with new callsign "WTCL", beginning January 1st. Still hope they can repeat WOIO on a sub (19.10) on that stick for those in-city folk who can't get 19 on RF 10.
