They're acquiring some un-built permits of ten LPs owned by HC2 Holdings for $475K. K24NY-D Paragould, AR W23EF-D Tallahassee, FL W20DW-D Clarksdale, MS WDDY-LD Jackson, TN WHJK-LD Jackson, TN KMZB-LD Amarillo, TX K31PR-D Tyler, TX W33DH-D Eau Claire, WI W14ER-D Eau Claire, WI W31EV-D Wausau, WI Jackson, TN? They don't have a station there. Bahakel (WBBJ) would be a tough purchase too as they conflict everywhere else. Also Clarksdale is in the Greenville, MS market? Unless they are buying WABG and company, that makes no sense too.

Coahoma County which Clarksdale, MS is located in, does actually belong to the Memphis DMA. Also Cox owns both WABG in Greenville and WHBQ in Memphis, so I wouldn't see Gray picking up that cluster.

tyrannical bastard 3933 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) Some of these Gray pickups could be 3.0 related. As for the ones in the Greenville-Greenwood DMA, it wouldn't surprise me to see Gray pick up an affiliation or two since Cox owns the entire market. NBC being the likeliest since it's low power, and adjacent to WMC in Memphis and WLBT in Jackson, two stations that could be used to relay NBC to the market via Gray. As for the two stations in Jackson, their NBC affiliation is owned by SagamoreHill...the same people who SSAed themselves to Gray in Columbus, GA with WLTZ. Enter WMC possibly again to take over these stations.... Speaking of relaying Gray, does KAIT's NBC subchannel still air some of WMC's newscasts? WMC was the default station there before KAIT also got NBC for the market.

CircleSeven 1955 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Gray is LP-picking again. They're buying an unbuilt permit K31MK-D in Lawton, OK from New Media Partners LLC fo $40K. Gray has also filed an app to light this LP up at a full 15kW.

GodfreyGR 650 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Question- Does Gray hub master control for their stations? NY or TX to be exact?

It is a CBS test pattern. WCIA (which streams most of the CBS' special reports on its YouTube channel) had a stream of CBS' coverage of Trump's second impeachment trial and after the coverage ended, they kept the stream going for a few more minutes, and it displayed the same test pattern. In this case, KXJB probably accidentally switched to the network feed when they intended to air Jeopardy. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16928-gray-media-general-thread/page/23/#findComment-259336 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting you bring KCBD up. It's not the site design itself that interests me but rather the new "Meet the Team" page. https://www.kcbd.com/page/about-us/ It shows the integration of KJTV's team into KCBD's. Who made the cut, and who was let go. New bio pics in front of the KCBD set too...
