The Disney/ABC O&O Stations Thread

[Encore 323 88]

The purpose of this thread is to have a place to discuss anything relating to all of the 8 Disney/ABC owned and operated stations because even though things may seem quiet across the group, things are still happening beyond what is discussed in the individual WABC, KABC, WLS, and WPVI threads that are in the NY, LA, Chicago, and Philly threads respectively.

———————————————————
As you probably know by now, the licenses of the ABC O&Os are being threatened by the FCC and the deadline is July 29th, so the stations have been rolling out call to action promos, so that viewers can advocate for each station on the station’s behalf.

Here are promos from WABC, KABC & WLS.

General threads are not permitted,  anymore, HOWEVER, the FCC stuff is enough to probably warrant its own thread.

If this madness was not going on, this thread would definitely not be here but regardless of what has happened, I feel that enough happens at the ABC O&Os nowadays for this thread to logically be here, so I am thinking about the present and the future here as you clearly see.

It's sad that we've come to this where the ABC O&Os have been vilified by our current FCC.

 

Maybe in a saner time, the same should happen to Sinclair and Nexstar, who have done far more egregious things in front of our eyes, often on a daily basis.

I'm still amazed that given the relaxation of ownership rules that there are still only 8 stations in the group. It's like a throwback to earlier times when the 7-7-7 rules existed (AM/FM/TV).
