Nexstar ready to hook up with TEGNA?
- Thread starter only1moore
- Start date
I stand corrected-- I posted what I thought had happened; shows how much I know.
I was thinking the same.
There is a lawsuit, according to the newscasts I watch.
WFMY and WGHP are also affected, in Greensboro. They both have outstanding news operations.
It’ll be interesting to see what happens in Memphis now that Nexstar has been reunited with WATN/WLMT and being paired up with WREG. But at the same time one can see WLMT being folded into a sub channel of either WREG or WATN as it is the weakest out of the three.

Nexstar to operate TEGNA as subsidiary business while lawsuits proceed
The move will allow Nexstar to spin-out TEGNA if lawsuits are successful; on Monday, Newsmax and several broadband groups filed a request for a preliminary injunction.

OK Tegna still exists but it’s the same way why mission broadcasting exists mainly as a license holder for Nexstar.

Plaintiffs will have to demonstrate market-by-market harm, particularly in the area of news. In many places there won’t be any real change or damage. Houston and DFW are two examples that come to mind, as there is no destruction of existing news content.

Layoffs Hit Nexstar's News Nation — FTVLive
Layoffs went down at Perry Sook’s vanity project, AKA News Nation.
www.ftvlive.com
Here is more fallout at Nexstar has the layoffs are reported at NewsNation and staff "quitting" at some of their stations due to the Tegna deal.
Nexstar & TEGNA deal was rushed in my opinion and Nexstar should've had to at least sell 13 or 15 TV stations in my opinion. Nexstar is safe with The Twin Cities, ATL, PHX etc, as they weren't in those markets. And I'm fine with Nexstar buying WZZM and making it a sole ABC station as I believe that WOTV will become The CW and be on a main channel as it has been a subchannel since 2006. I don't see the courts unwinding this deal at most will have sell more TV stations and maybe a fine but that will be about it in my opinion.

KDKA is in a battleground state and gets most Steelers games
Huh? Not only was KDKA-TV not the first TV station in the country (it had been Dumont's WDTV Channel 3 before being sold to Westinghouse, the first nail in the coffin for the Dumont Network), but CBS didn't put the first TV station on the air anywhere. It was the second, after NBC, in NYC on 7/1/1941 by about an hour due to technical difficulties. One might say that they, as W2XAB, aired entertainment programming in NYC before NBC in the mechanical era, but that's it.
True and also KDKA-AM is notable for being the first licensed radio station in Pennsylvania. But that's owned by Audacy Inc. for nearly a decade. Its a case of same call letters different places as in TV, AM, FM.
Couldn't WOTV carry WZZM's main ABC channel 13.1 on a subchannel to cover the south side of the market?
True Some of this has to also be back when KCBS/KFRC-FM San Francisco had promos in 2009 saying they were the first radio station in California on their 100th anniversary. Yes their ownership history is traced back to Doc Herrold when he formed the station that became KQW San Jose/KCBS San Francisco in 1909. But CBS didn't own KQW/KCBS until 1949. In San Francisco CBS Radio affiliations were on KFRC(AM) and KSFO(AM) prior to 1949. Yes I mean there are two stations owned by Audacy who carry the claim "First Radio Station status." KDKA-AM and KCBS-AM which were at one point owned by CBS directly prior to 2017.

Commercially licensed. KQV is older. Was it licensed?
It's like how it was in Des Moines/Ames Iowa. WOI was the first network to launch in the area and it carried all the 4 national networks but its main affiliate was NBC when it launched in 1950 which now is an ABC affiliate. WHO 13 then signed on in 1954 taking the NBC brand while WOI shifted to ABC as its main affiliate. The affiliate KRNT 8 now known as KCCI 8 came on in 1955 taking the CBS affiliate.
