Tribune's Rose Parade Coverage

H

HawkeyeST

I'm not sure how many stations air KTLA's coverage of the Tournament Of Roses Parade each new year, but I know one other station besides KTLA that does-- Moline, IL's WQAD-TV, also owned by Tribune. Here are a list of possible stations that could air the Rose Parade:

---ILLINOIS---
Champaign: WICD/WICS, WBUI, or WCCU/WRSP
Chicago: WGN-TV
Paducah: KBSI or WDKA
Peoria: WHOI or WYZZ-TV
Quincy: KHQA-TV
St. Louis: KTVI, KPLR, or KDNL

---IOWA---
Cedar Rapids: KGAN or KFXA
Davenport: WQAD-TV
Des Moines: WHO-DT or KDSM-TV
Omaha: KXVO or KPTM
Ottumwa: KTVO
Sioux City: KMEG or KPTH
 
I know in the past KRON in San Francisco (Nexstar owned station) aired KTLA's coverage of the Rose Parade but I don't know is thats going to happen anymore given that Nexstar and Sinclair are rivals in some parts of the country and KTLA in the future would limit Rose parade coverage to Sinclair owned stations.
 
ABC does a poor job and NBC does a mediocre job. And my NBC affiliate joined the parade after 30 minutes. ABC's problem is spending time on behind the scenes and interviews and commentary about the games, which causes them to miss part of the parade. And who knows what we're missing during commercials?

Not that it really matters, but ABC never shows equestrian units. There was one exception I believe last year. But it wouldn't be the Rose Parade without the Mexican guys who do rope tricks.
