news central?

B

I know that Sinclir still does some commentary, but i think all news is gone. But this afternoon I saw a banner ad for newscentral on Accuweather.com. Do they still spend money on this failed operation?

No...I believe News Central folded in March and the Point stopped airing back in July. Good riddance if you ask me.
 
The point was still on WUHF in Rochester as of a couple weeks ago. Mercifullly
News Central disapeared from the market earlier this year.
 
The Point was airing on WICD/WICS in the Champaign/Urbana/Decatur/Springfield, IL market just last week. On Thursday night's "The Point," however, the host said that night's commentary would be the last. I guess no more hardcore right-wing commentary by Mark Hyman for the Sinclair stations.
 
I could have sworn I read The Point ended back in July. I must have read on Wikipedia or something ::)

But I did find a link to the story of about Hyman. Seems last month he out of the blue abruptly quit:

Sorry, the story is kinda too long to post. Although he cites family reasons for leaving, I'm wondering if it is the antitrust lawsuit Sinclair is currently facing-and could lose a large chunk of their assets. Guess that's what they deserve for giving their stations and their viewers across the country such clumsy, cheapo newscasts full of trash.
