So the asset-stripping at WJRT and elsewhere is for a good cause.

He don’t care about you losers. You are petty pheasants to him. He could care less about 12.
Re: Comic Mogul Billionaire Byron Allen Buys Malibu Mansion for $100 Million
Why doesn't Allen pay his staff to his TV stations than buying another mansion how many mansions does one person needs? He should take a pay cut as well Fanny is right Byron doesn't care and shakedowns businesses I hope McDonald's lawsuit will be dismissed as it has no merit and is baseless as well since Byron plays the race card.

Allen could piss on Flint and he wouldn’t care. He would have his workers clean it up.

Then why buy 12 in the first place?
Re: Comic Mogul Billionaire Byron Allen Buys Malibu Mansion for $100 Million
Because you can't just put $100 million in the bank? Not when they are only insured for $250,000, and only paying like .3% interest rate.

Don’t forget the era of Knight-Ridder (newspaper) WJRT ownership from 1978-1989 after acquiring from Poole Broadcasting.Under New Management wrote: ↑Wed Oct 12, 2022 8:45 pm Allen Media = one of WJRT’s worst owners…

That’s right, Noozd. Knight Ridder was a little before my time. I heard ok things about them. So they might place somewhere in the middle? How would you rank ‘em?
Re: Comic Mogul Billionaire Byron Allen Buys Malibu Mansion for $100 Million
Keeping in mind I never had first hand experience working in any of Gray nor Byron Allen holdings, I would be inclined to place Knight-Ridder between ABC/DIsney and Cap Cities. In 1964, Capital Cities Broadcasting was forced to spin off WJRT to Poole Broadcasting because of FCC ownership limits at the time. (John Poole was a former Cap Cities stockholder.) Fast forward to 1978 when WJRT (and sister stations in Providence and Albany) were sold to Knight Ridder which invested heavily in the station's technology, programming, news and promotion presence in the market.Under New Management wrote: ↑Fri Oct 14, 2022 3:51 am That’s right, Noozd.

Byron should "man up" and move to the Flint area. What would 100 million buy in Grand Blanc?

Comic Byron Allen? that's a joke... He's ruined local news and I hope it can be saved... S.O.S.
Re: Comic Mogul Billionaire Byron Allen Buys Malibu Mansion for $100 Million
It can not be saved
