They had Ross Palombo doing it for them until he left for KCBS/KCAL and the role hasn't been filled since, I believe. I know WPLG also has correspondents in Washington as well as Havana, Cuba. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21677-wplg-abc-parting-ways/page/6/#findComment-304974 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They once did in Cuba but I think its been shut down. They also once had correspondents in Venezuela and Colombia. They weren't shared bureaus either, they were WPLG's own in-house news bureaus in those countries but I think they've since closed them due to the political climate in those countries as well as here. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21677-wplg-abc-parting-ways/page/6/#findComment-304976 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot think of anything more value destructive. Just because Ed Ansin got away with it twice doesn't mean it can work when the product is diluted this much. In a billingual market, no less. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised to see Warren Buffett take the L after a year or two and unload WPLG to Mission so Nexstar can have a CW O&O for Miami. He's had some bad business moves re: media (buying the Media General newspaper chain, helping Scripps buy Ion) but this might be the biggest oopsie. 1 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21677-wplg-abc-parting-ways/page/6/#findComment-305043 Share on other sites More sharing options...
