KTAR Teams With ABC 15

Tegna booted..Scripps all in. KTAR gets 15's weather guessers on the radio, and ABC 15 gets commentaries by KTAR personalities.




Tegna...isn't that a new model from Elon Musk?

Frankly, I'm still wondering why they dumped the "war room" segment -- particularly a time when more and more days are clamoring for "Most Important News Day of 2018" and they still essentially end their broadcast day (as usual) at 6pm. Can't really say 91.5 is any noticeably "better" after 6pm, but c'mon -- and this is the same station that promises "breaking news"? Really?
 
Finally KTAR is ABC Radio News Affiliate is working with KNXV 15 a ABC News and Network TV Affiliate, more CBS and Fox News News/Talk stations should partner with their local TV News org.

Not sure if the ABC connection has as much to do with it as the deal struck between Scripps & TMISU. Local is far more important for both operators than national, which listeners and viewers can obtain from other sources. I ♥ Bankruptcy stations KFYI & KEZ have a similar arrangement with FOX10.
 
Agreed. KTAR hasn't promoted its network affiliation in 30 years. This is all about cross-promoting the local product. Network is just what you play to fill time when you're not making money off of local news.
