Looks like more trouble for MG.

Yet another example of how equity funds are a greater threat to our liberties than Osama Bin Laden could ever hope to be.

What a great deal for those who are leaving for another company anyway. FREE MONEY!!!

WMBB actually posted the story on their website!

(and noted they were under contract to be purchased by Hoak Media and NOT part of the planned buyout)

Maybe Media General's doing this to raise money to buy WTVJ and WVIT.

 

 

 

 

Hey, you never know. Stranger things have happened.

This is not good news for WCMH in the least bit. Their news product was slipping as of lately and I know a few on-air talents that would take that deal. So it sounds like WCMH will become the new Channel 6. News on a budget. Damn.

I believe this only affects the Florida properties through the MG-owned Florida Communications group. No other MG properties...
