So the asset-stripping at WJRT and elsewhere is for a good cause.

He don’t care about you losers. You are petty pheasants to him. He could care less about 12.

Why doesn't Allen pay his staff to his TV stations than buying another mansion how many mansions does one person needs? He should take a pay cut as well Fanny is right Byron doesn't care and shakedowns businesses I hope McDonald's lawsuit will be dismissed as it has no merit and is baseless as well since Byron plays the race card.

Allen could piss on Flint and he wouldn’t care. He would have his workers clean it up.

Because you can't just put $100 million in the bank? Not when they are only insured for $250,000, and only paying like .3% interest rate.

Allen Media = one of WJRT’s worst owners…

WJRT Owners — best to worst:
1. ABC/Disney
2, Gray Televison
3. Capital Cities
4. Byron Allen
5. SJL/Lilly

Don’t forget the era of Knight-Ridder (newspaper) WJRT ownership from 1978-1989 after acquiring from Poole Broadcasting.

That’s right, Noozd. Knight Ridder was a little before my time. I heard ok things about them. So they might place somewhere in the middle? How would you rank ‘em?

Keeping in mind I never had first hand experience working in any of Gray nor Byron Allen holdings, I would be inclined to place Knight-Ridder between ABC/DIsney and Cap Cities. In 1964, Capital Cities Broadcasting was forced to spin off WJRT to Poole Broadcasting because of FCC ownership limits at the time. (John Poole was a former Cap Cities stockholder.) Fast forward to 1978 when WJRT (and sister stations in Providence and Albany) were sold to Knight Ridder which invested heavily in the station's technology, programming, news and promotion presence in the market.

Byron should "man up" and move to the Flint area. What would 100 million buy in Grand Blanc? :hat

Comic Byron Allen? that's a joke... He's ruined local news and I hope it can be saved... S.O.S.
