Megatron81 256 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) No ass kissing from Chris and didn't have his bro former governor of NY Andrew on the show LOL since Andrew needs a job after all. I wasn't going to watch Chris's show I didn't watch him on CNN when he had his bro on nightly being on his jock strap with softball questions. His promos suck for his show should've kept news of the day at 8PM or hired Megyn Kelly she would've gotten better ratings than Chris.

CLETVFan 367 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I thought NewsNation was rumored to be hiring Megyn already? That would be awkward to have both her and Cuomo on the show after she blasted one of his segments on the opening night of his show. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18178-the-turmoil-saga-of-newsnation/page/17/#findComment-278908 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathannah 2401 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I can't understand station groups keeping a debate to themselves; in Wisconsin the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association organizes the debate, with either Milwaukee PBS or PBS Wisconsin hosting it, and it basically being open to everyone to take; WVCY, the Milwaukee religious station, even broadcasts it both on TV and radio, about the only time they're neutral (though with a strong 'vote how God would want you to' message at the end). And Nextar's requirements for debate coverage? How any media org accepts them is just beyond stupid. They basically read 'radio can rot', and the big annoyance in campaign ads, where a clean feed isn't available so a station gets dragged through the mud with some PAC, is just completely self-inflicted idiocy. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18178-the-turmoil-saga-of-newsnation/page/17/#findComment-278979 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting it on the MNTV affiliate is the Cincinnatian equivalent of Northern Mongolia (WBQC is Cincinnati's television Siberia, of course). Surely it could've gone on WKRC, a station people actually watch, or even it's DT2 CW, rather than being stuck in the Sheldon Cooper timeslot leading into SVU reruns on a station only watched by doctor's offices, people who just will never stream TV, and restaurants who don't want to deal with the cable news arguments. My point stands; Nexstar, and here Sinclair, should've allowed any station to air it like they do in Wisconsin and most states instead of this 'exclusivity' racket. This isn't Thursday Night Football, that the parties actually agree to this racket to prop up a failing cable channel is ludicrous, and it should be in the public domain and available to C-SPAN.

End of. Is it any different than WABC/WPVI having exclusivity over a New Jersey gubernatorial debate? I actually don’t mind Nexstar doing this. Just like ABC in NJ, Nexstar has the rights to host this debate, so why wouldn’t they air it on their platforms? If anything, airing it in all of their markets broadens the reach of the debate, as it now airs on stations that may not otherwise have carried it. And what does it have to do w/ NewsNation? These debates are being moderated by local anchors/reporters, not Chris Cuomo (and thank God for that).

tyrannical bastard 3931 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) We'll see how Sinclair behaves in Florida in a few weeks with the Florida gubernatorial debate. It's originating out of West Palm Beach at WPEC. It would have been yesterday, but it was rescheduled due to the effects of Hurricane Ian on the state. Here's a breakdown on who's airing it. Nexstar gets Tampa and Panama City. Cox gets Jacksonville and Orlando. WFOR is airing it in Miami and WBBH is airing it in Ft. Myers. All the other Sinclair markets in Florida are airing it on their stations.

Is it any different than WABC/WPVI having exclusivity over a New Jersey gubernatorial debate? In the ABC case, there's only two possible markets and six O&O stations each (plus Univision and Telemundo here) that can host a debate (because WMGM or the Atlantic City-licensed infomercial farms certainly aren't), or NJPBS. Both are universally available through NJ, and ABC usually deems it a news event where a simple courtesy is all they need, not this 7-bullet point list to protect a scratch-rating-filled opinion network which has most non-NX stations like 'we're just going to read excerpts and you'll be happy with it, Sook'...plus they were streamed to YouTube live. And C-SPAN airs most debate, which everyone with cable or satellite has. NX stations posted it to YouTube after the fact and NX refused to provide it to C-SPAN. Nexstar sites, outside of WGN's, are a nightmare to navigate the video from, they refuse to work with any non-IPTV TV news streaming services that people actually use on a big screen, and it's not an acceptable solution when YouTube is the video standard. I just don't think a debate should be reduced to being limited to one station group, nor should it be on a low-tier station nobody watches just for FCC backpats and brownie points, or should be protected by copyright. It is a public service and shouldn't be subject to overprotective restrictions designed to obstruct constructive use of clips within it. Either put it on the PBS station or a Big Four commercial station in primetime or after the 11 pm news, or don't bother organizing it.

Either put it on the PBS station or a Big Four commercial station in primetime or after the 11 pm news, or don't bother organizing it. I definitely agree with that sentiment, and I’m beginning to understand your point; debates are a public service, and should be treated as such (just as they are for the presidency). In an ideal world, every station would carry (or at least have the option of carrying) a gubernatorial/senate debate live. My broader point was that Nexstar isn’t doing anything radical in having exclusive rights. The network O&Os, Tegna (in TX), and many other station groups have organized similar arrangements in the past. I wouldn’t hate the player (Nexstar), but rather the game (in which political parties allow certain companies to have exclusivity in the first place). That said, I didn’t realize Nexstar’s guidelines about crediting NewsNation, and I’ll concede that those are excessive. NewsNation isn’t even conducting the debate; the stations are. It would be like NBC requiring other outlets to credit MSNBC for an event covered by NBC News. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18178-the-turmoil-saga-of-newsnation/page/17/#findComment-279001 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsjunkie24 506 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I think all debates should be public domain. During 2019, CNN had two democratic debates, and they didn't even bother uploading live to YouTube or upload it after it was done. They even put copyright claims on people giving commentary about the debates. People should have easy access to the potential nominee's takes on hot-button issues. 1 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18178-the-turmoil-saga-of-newsnation/page/17/#findComment-279006 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannical bastard 3931 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 In the last few days, Nexstar and NewsNation have covered debates in Michigan (gubernatorial) and Georgia (senate), with all of the same. It does feel a little extreme the way that Nexstar is going about it, but then again, some of the races have enough shock value (especially with Herschel Walker flashing a badge) to let Nexstar "own it" so it could come back to haunt them, rather than providing a "clean feed" for others to use at their own will. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18178-the-turmoil-saga-of-newsnation/page/17/#findComment-279076 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megatron81 256 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Wood TV hosted the governors debate I didn't watch it I had no interest in it will be one more debate next week Oct 25 WXMI Fox17 will air the second debate from Oakland U in Detroit since their sister station WXYZ will be airing it. The first debate wasn't aired in Detroit other than WDIV 4+ app not on the main channels in Detroit. I think the stations think too highly of themselves should've been aired on one of the main channels not just an app or a website in my opinion. Nexstar's sister station aired the debate in Lansing was aired on 9&10 in Northern Michigan.
