Yes, Grant is very pretty.

It's taped in early afternoon to minimize the risk due to rain and severe weather.

Good news for me, I'd love to work some more college games.

So, they poached someone from channel 7. I knew I recognized that name. The plot thickens.

Gino hasn't worked for channel 7 in 4 years. Nice guy, hope he does well but poached isn't the word I would use.

I must be the only one here on Buzzboard that thinks The New 62 will leapfrog Fox2 in amount of viewers two days after they debut. And leapfrog Broadcast House within six months.

It's inevitable that CBS will lose money for a while as they try and establish some market share but losing out on the political revenue in 2022 and having to wait until 2024 for the political cash grab is a tough situation to be in. Political ads are what's keeping the local stations profitable now.

Local News gives you an audience that is more likely to vote and flexible inventory. During political season the news stations will clear as much as 4 minutes an hour in extra sales inventory from news content.

Goofy and dumb but not intentionally racist, I felt really bad for her at the time but she did land on her ...

Poor Michelle Budenstein, she was trying to be clever on the fly and said something stupid. I was friends with her in college.

To make good spots that didn't run properly or clear extra inventory for political advertising.

The company has nothing to waive as you can't enforce a stipulation within the contract when the contract has been terminated. The station can always buy that privilege, by continuing to pay the terms of the contract or entering into a new contract that keeps the talent off the air. As I said in an...

When contracts are not renewed and the talent is then terminated for cost reasons, usually the non-compete cause is waved by the company. If you are laying off people to save money, getting sued and going to court doesn't make a lot of sense.
