Re: Sinclair buying newspapers
David Smith bought the Baltimore Sun personally— as opposed to having “Sinclair Inc” — purchase the newspaper… so I think that’s how he’s getting around the FCC’s antiquated ban on cross ownership of TV stations and newspapers in the same market. Just like ownership concentration rules in broadcast...

Re: WOOD TV goes dark during middle of Lions game
Discrep reports on the incident posted on FTV Live: https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2024/1/22/nexstar-stations-go-offline Apparently WANE had the faculties to put up a trouble slide during the downtime -- many didn't even do that.

Re: Sinclair buying newspapers
Are they even allowed to co-own newspapers with broadcasting properties these days, except where grandfathered?

Re: Sam Ali getting some Uni-Watch love
The Super Bowl wouldn’t be on NBC — it’s on CBS (WNEM). Why would WEYI promote the game on CBS? They wouldn't necessarily promote the game, but rather the Lions. If your home team makes it all the way, no doubt every station in the state would promote the Lions, even if their network wasn't coverin...

Re: WTF?> WDIV F*cks up NBC news feed on 4.3, again.
If they can't fix this and still insist on doing things like this, they should add a disclaimer when they make these announcements that the viewing of the moved show in its entirety is not guaranteed.ConstipatedListener wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2024 6:40 pmi'm watching NBC NiCollector'sghtlyCallNews right now.

Re: WDIV Is Unwatchable
ProducerXM - trust me when I say it's not quite as awful as NBC's scheduled programming for 7PM (which is airing on MeTV 4.3). Deal or No Deal Island is in the running for worst new television series this season, in my book. I saw the ad for that last night… it looked rather odd… The way their MeTV...

Re: WTF?> WDIV F*cks up NBC news feed on 4.3, again.
Why bother carrying Nightly News on a subchannel at all if this always happens? If they decide to preempt it, they shouldn't bother carrying it at all.

Re: 5's New Logo
Does anyone know the official reason why the CBS logo was dropped from most of the on screen logos? It just doesn't look good without it. I don't know, but it's a goddamn travesty. My guess had to do with network negotiations with CBS, or perhaps, another network. Most of Gray's NBC affiliates have...

Re: Audacy files Chapter 11
Partly, I was trying to get some of you riled up, like you're always trying to do to me, by suggesting that it should go to religion or foreign language. Foreign language programming would probably be the best use of 1270, in my opinion. A downright shame, considering that it was a legacy station t...

Re: WANE 15 5PM News Then Inside Edition
Was not uncommon in the late 1980s and 1990s for a station to have 5PM news, then a syndicated program, then 6PM news.

Knowing Sinclair, they would rather just keep the station and replace the news department with The National Desk.

Re: WJBK/Fox 2 75th anniversary special
I've heard WKBD planned a show with WKNR's Gary Stevens, but Gary left for New York shortly after WKBD signed on in early 1965, so the show may not have made it to air. The only dance program in the Kaiser / Field chain that I knew of was Hy Lit's show from WKBS Philadelphia -- I imagine for some s...
