Eh...there used to just be 3 stations.

But lots of smaller owners of locals.
Insurance companies and local businesses owned stations.
If we go back to call letters the TIC in WTIC stood for Travelers Insurance Company.
Guess you're right on that, but was referring to corporate national media.
The corporate national media was RCA when it started.
I’m going to Harpo’s and get my swerve on! 😆If you go to Westport to celebrate, be sure to maintain situational awareness, based on what I've heard.
Just celebrate there before sunset if that's possible and you'll be fine...it gets bad after dark.If you go to Westport to celebrate, be sure to maintain situational awareness, based on what I've heard.
I've never been to KC but the area seems similar to the Gaslamp Quarter in San Diego. The reviews of the area say that's it's a safe area to walk around, even at night. If the problem is drunkenness, that comes with the territory in these 'entertainment districts'.
Interesting opinion piece in Bloomberg:

Archived here in case you have problems accessing the source:
It also brings up another question not fully addressed in the article. Could the damage from Sinclair and Nexstar's censorship end up being more consequential to network TV than it even appeared initially? What if even just one major advertiser has a similar takeaway to the author's and decides to shift its ad money away from broadcast TV as a result? What if it's more than just one advertiser that reaches the same conclusion, and the incident becomes a turning point? What could the long term economic damage to ABC -- and the network TV model overall -- end up being from this dumb stunt?
Kimmel’s YouTube Win Should Rattle Traditional Broadcasters
The host’s monologue from Tuesday night has racked up more than 20 million views on the platform, leaving ABC affiliates in the dust.

Not to ABC, since they share in the revenue from the YouTube views. We talked about this with regards to Colbert: A big chunk of revenue for these live network talk shows comes from social media and YouTube. Broadcast gets none of it.
ABC knows its future is streaming and social media. They'll milk the network model as long as it pays. But they know its not the future. I'm sure that was part of the conversation with Nexstar and Sinclair. They saw the show got better ratings without them.
But wouldn't those two not lose much in the long haul by not showing Kimmel or preempting him to a later slot?
The Gaslamp Quarter is much bigger.
There have been shootings in Westport in recent years. Daytime seemed OK the last time I was there, but it also seemed as if business was down. I was there on a weekday and it seemed more quiet than I remembered. But it appears as though the action has moved downtown with all the developments that happened after I moved from KC, plus the streetcar line, which has been a huge success.
The Power and Light District is more popular now
Huh? I mean everyone would love this. But where did you see this?
It might have been more internet chatter or wishful thinking of a bargaining chip. Block out SEC games on Nexstar and Sinclair.
You can get by with a lot over at Salem. Unless you're Michael Medved who dared to question Dear Leader.
I can verify that Sinclair ABC affiliate WSYX 6 in Columbus, Ohio aired Kimmel's show tonight.
I saw an article in the Columbus Dispatch newspaper on Friday that reported a large crowd of protestors were in front of the WSYX studio protesting WSYX not airing Kimmel.
Also on Thursday night WSYX did indeed air the Celebrity Who Wants To Be A Millionaire tv game show that was hosted by Kimmel.

Still not over them burning witches.
Do you know if KTLA is among the gutted? I sincerely hope not, given its pioneering technological history.

Scott will of course know the answer, but given the amount of live news on the KTLA schedule I would expect that they at least have a master control to have better control of cameras, etc.
Weekdays is non-stop "KTLA 5 News" from 4:00am to 2:00pm, then "Off The Clock" (which is hosted by the morning news anchors but concentrating on news features) then back to all-news from 3:00pm to 7:30pm, "LA Unscripted" (more features) then The CW programming before the news resumes from 10:00pm to 11:35pm.
I suppose the syndicated late night programming would run okay from a hub, though.
