In the Los Angeles Market needs to start searching for a brand-new The CW West Coast Flagship Station

Nexstar would never buy another station there. KTLA and The CW have been together for almost 20 years and Nexstar owns them both. What don't you understand about that?

I don't think KTLA and Nexstar minds going all-news during the day and into the evening since syndication pretty much stinks at this point. Plus, producing and airing local news is cheaper than carrying syndicated programming. Oh... and you're talking about market #2, Los Angeles, where for years you could already get news at any time between 4AM-11:35PM on FREE TV (except for 2 and 7:30pm).
they have a lifestyle program at 2pm so it's only 7:30pm and 11;35-4am
 
Excelent idea đź’ˇ I've been thinking and I never thought about this Nexstar Media Group would be a great choice to start buying McKinnon Broadcasting Television Station KUSI-TV/K12PO/K03JB-D 51.1 to become as The CW West Coast Flagship Station in the Los Angeles Market they need to grab more boosters from The Ulloa Family's Low-Power translators to reach their signal to the entire market that would also make KUSI-TV/K12PO/K03JB-D 51.1 to become as a duopoly of KTLA-TV that's what I never thought about something about it before
A.
Now you understand what I'm saying the truth?
Unfortunately, any chances of another station in Market #2 being put up for sale is highly unlikely. Also Nexstar already owns KSWB San Diego so I doubt McKinnon will give up KUSI anytime or pair up with another broadcaster.

KTLA-TV should removed these Syndication shows and replace it by Infomercials

Two and a Half Men (removed)
Friends (removed)
Family Guy (removed)
Pawn Stars (removed)
Storage Wars (removed)
The Goldbergs (removed)
Last Man Standing (removed)

These are Syndication shows what KTLA-TV should be removed from KTLA-TV and replace it by Infomercials that's my opinion

or just affiliate with a network for once, KUSI never had a chance in both 2008 and 2017. it should've been MNTV on 8.2 and CW on 51 instead of sharing

KCOP can pick it up or if some extent KCAL

I've been thinking KCOP-TV would pick up some Syndication shows instead keep showing Catchy Comedy programming:

The Daily Buzz
The National Desk
Justice for all with Judge Cristina Perez
Judge Judy
Couples Court
Funny how should I ask
Family Feud
Judy Justice
American Ninja Warrior
Murduch Mysteries





KCAL-TV would grab these Syndication shows what KDOC-TV showed since KDOC-TV 56.1 Independent station is gone forever such as:


Forensic Files
Cheaters
Pawn Stars
Storage Wars
Karamo
Maury
Young Sheldon
The Goldbergs
Last Man Standing
Friends
Family Guy
Bob's Burgers
Impractical Jokers
Full Measure with Sharyl Attkison
The Carbonaro Effect
Championship Wrestling of Hollywood
Street Magic
Popstar! Today
U.S. Farm Report
 
KUSI-TV is also carried on Spectrum Channel 8 in Hemet, Temecula and the Inland Empire area part of the Los Angeles Market now you know?
Except their COL (Which matters the most to the networks) is San Diego. Now YOU know?

Ohh yeah BTW - Nexstar owns the Fox affiliate there. IF they were to offer to buy it (And there's LITTLE incentive for them to do so), the only thing they would do is combine the news deoartments & take the CW affiliation from KFMB 8,2 (Primary CBS affiliate on the .1 owned by TEGNA, who would just simply replace The CW with one of the Diginets they own that isn't on in the area)
 
When are some of y'all going to learn not to entertain these goofy-ass "dream scenarios"? That belongs on TVNewsTalk with the rest of these doofuses over there. This same person posted the same stuff before elsewhere, and was already provided reasons why this nonsensical scenario would never happen.

Quit excusing buffoonery.

They have been part of the LA TV market forever.

u mean MNTV in the SD market

Here's my opinion

KUSI-TV would grab a translators from The Ulloa's Family for example:

KIMG-LD in Ventura
KSMV-LD in Los Angeles
KSGA-LD in San Bernardino
KODG-LD in Palm Springs

These are 3 Ulloa's Family translators what KUSI-TV would grab to reach their signal and their coverage to the entire market that's my suggestions
 
they have a lifestyle program at 2pm so it's only 7:30pm and 11;35-4am

Thus why I said 2-3, 7:30-8 and 11:35PM-4AM. I don't count lifestyle shows, only actual news.
 
NewsNation claims their ratings increased as opposed to MSNBC, FOX and CNN. NewsNation has been in existence for a relatively short time. One has to start somewhere. My family trusts NewsNation, and we are glad to see them transitioning to all-news Mon-Fri by the end of April, then all-news all the time by the end of this year.
Unfortunately, most ppl might only know about NewsNation if they watch local or nat'l network news from the Big 3 networks & see them using footage from a Nexstar owned affiliate of theirs & rather than credit it via their call letters which they prefer, apparently there's some of edict that forces them to call it NewsNation instead like what we saw with ABC this week in regards to the tragic shooting in Nashville, crediting the footage as that instead of WKRN.
 
I read an article a couple days ago that The CW is planning on expanding on sports programming and possibly down the line even create news programs from sister network Newsnation.
They wanna be another FOX btw, FOX only supplied 1 political show Fox News Sunday for the broadcast network
 
That would be network TV SUICIDE

That would be like saying there should a new East Coast flagship station because WPIX 11 (Also owned by Nexstar) is about to air New York Yankees baseball & New York Knicks basketball & become all news

Speaking OF news, Nexstar DOES owns a NEWS network (Albeit A VERY WEAK one compared to streaming rival Scripps News) in NewsNation
Yes and also local Nexstar News like KTLA, KRON, KTXL, KSWB, WGN and WPIX (Officially owned by Mission Broadcasting/Newscasts are produced and directed by Nexstar) have more viewers than Newsnation.

The ones that would have to be concerned the most are CW Affiliates managed by Paramount given that they now have 12.5% of the CW while previously they were the main co-owners of the CW with Warner Brothers at one time. But that is now changed with Nexstar as the majority owner of the CW.

For now stations like KBCW, KMAX, WKBD, WPCW and WPSG will keep their CW affiliation. But the next time they run into conflicts over sports broadcasting rights contracts because in their case they go against whatever CBS Sports agreed with then I can see stations like KBCW, KMAX, WKBD, WPCW, WPSG having to rename themselves as an extension of the main CBS O&O and KCAL-TV, WLNY-TV are the models these Paramount owned CW affiliates would have to consider in the event they lose their CW affiliation.

Yes which still airs today. In the early days of Fox News Network, Fox did air a primetime News series called Fox Files in 1998.

They tried their hand at news before there was a news network also in 1993 with Front Page and also in the late 80's and early 90's after the primetime shows the network had a brief 30 second to a minute Fox News Breif as well even though Fox News didn't have their own cable network yet.

Now that Nexstar took over WGN America (formally WGN Superstation) which carried WB programming from 1995-1999, while WGN itself has carried WB and CW from 1995-2016. Nexstar turned it into Newsnation and with them owning Newsnation and CW and also airing their Liv Golf back on WGN 9 could mean that they will make the CW more like Fox.

Very little scripted shows, with most of the programs reality shows, sports and maybe 1 or 2 shows from NewsNation.

If they air anything from NewsNation on the CW idk if its going to be completely new like what Fox did with their shows like Fox Files, After Breakfast or Fox News Sunday or if it will be repeated programming from different stories and reporters from Newsnation. Only time will tell as they say they want to make it profitable by 2025. That's only 2 years away.

I seen aircheck when Fox was in its early stages Fox owned stations used to call their local newscasts Fox News like KTTV Los Angeles. That was until Fox Owned stations were required to include "Fox 11 News" to separate local Fox O&O's from Fox News Channel.
