mre29 1522 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Not true about Hearst because Hearst owns WESH in Orlando which connecting Brevard and Indian River counties would indicate Hearst owns two stations in neighboring markets and lets not forget CBS used to own WTVX in WPB and WFOR in Miami Ah, okay. Seeing as how I don't live in Florida, I wasn't sure just how far apart the markets were. But I should probably know better considering that I live in the Manchester, NH, area (WMUR), which is part of the Boston market (WCVB), which is neighbors with the Portland market (WMTW). :o Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4393-developing-wtvj-sale-to-p-n-hits-snag-with-doj/page/2/#findComment-41725 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjohnson 17 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Belo is too busy slashing budgets at their stations (Investigative Units: POOF!) to buy WTVJ. LocalTV might be interested, though...

ib-td 1 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 It will be interesting to see what, if anything will happen to the buildings. PLG is building new in Hollywood/Hallendale area and TVJ has new hd diggs in Miramar. Could PN combine forces, sell the TVJ or at least rent it to SVN (in serious need of updating, upgrading and enlarging). There are many other possibilities as well.

Amra 171 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Has Telemundo51 gone back to Hialeah yet?? if not ..well then, they got themselves a good building all to themselves It's all rumours, Telemundo 51 can always struck a deal with the new owners of Peacock Plaza. But the price for TVJ is lower than anticipated. PLG and TVJ are moving together to their new digs. There isn't any talks about Peacock Plaza being sold that I know of.
