rjdickens 1 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Yet another example of how equity funds are a greater threat to our liberties than Osama Bin Laden could ever hope to be.

tyrannical bastard 3955 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 http://blogs.tampabay.com/media/2008/04/media-generals.html Looks like more trouble for MG. 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) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/3543-breaking-media-general-to-offer-buyout-to-half-of-its-employees/#findComment-31929 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mre29 1537 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Maybe Media General's doing this to raise money to buy WTVJ and WVIT. Hey, you never know. Stranger things have happened.

ColumbusNewsFan 217 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 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.

first on fox 18 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I believe this only affects the Florida properties through the MG-owned Florida Communications group. No other MG properties...
