Therefore, if I were WUPW, I might be tempted to try to pry NBC from WNWO.
Of note, beginning this fall, FOX's share of Big Ten telecasts will be diminished as NBC and CBS will each begin airing some Big Ten product.
I wonder who bills more - WUPW or WNWO?

Re: NBC 24 Ending News Operations
A WUPW NBC affiliation wouldn't be bad, maybe move the FOX and current WUPW syndicated programming to a .2 subchannel. The thing is, WUPW is under WTOL's control for news, which would now mean that WTOL would produce 3 out of Toledo's 4 news operations. I wonder if the FCC would allow that?

Re: NBC 24 Ending News Operations
As Sinclair has taken WNWO out of the local news picture, there's already only two organizations with news, WTVG (ABC) and WTOL (CBS / Fox). If NBC gets picked up by WTOL or WUPW (or even WTVG), there still would be only two news organizations.radioandtventhusiast wrote: ↑Wed May 10, 2023 1:39 pmWUPW is under WTOL's control for news, which would now mean that WTOL would produce 3 out of Toledo's 4 news operations.

uh...are you familiar at all with the post-Telecom Act of 1996 FCC? they're here to protect America from Janet Jackson's nipple or the word "shit" in Steve Miller's lyrics from 1974, not from monopolies.radioandtventhusiast wrote: ↑Wed May 10, 2023 1:39 pmA WUPW NBC affiliation wouldn't be bad, maybe move the FOX and current WUPW syndicated programming to a .2 subchannel.

I thank you for the correction and for the info.incorrect, Fox's share of Big 10 remains the same, NBC and CBS are divvying up what used to be on ABC/ESPN.
DTE Energy paid $752 million in dividends to its shareholders last fiscal year. Remember that the next time they ask the MPSC to approve rate hikes.

Re: NBC 24 Ending News Operations
I'm now leaning towards WUPW buying WNWO if they wanted. Put NBC programming and WNWO's syndicated shows on 36.1 and move the FOX programming and WUPW's current syndicated shows on 36.2, just like in small markets. This probably won't happen though. I wonder how WTVG or WTOL/WNWO would handle news personalities on an NBC station though.rugratsonline wrote: ↑Wed May 10, 2023 10:30 pmAs Sinclair has taken WNWO out of the local news picture, there's already only two organizations with news, WTVG (ABC) and WTOL (CBS / Fox).

Plus they're all OTA services from the cell tower or router hub. Granted ATSC 1.0 is a one-way platform, but the interactive component is upgrading with the advent of ATSC 3.0. Time will tell, although the potential certainly exists to make broadcast stations competitive with broadband providers and internet platforms in terms of content delivery.SolarMax wrote: ↑Fri Apr 28, 2023 1:22 pmThat's all a bit more confusing now, with T-Mobile's home service, basically a "hot spot" which picks up internet services through their 5G data network (instead via cable) and then redistributes it in your home as conventional wi-fi. I know folks to whom "wireless" of any kind, even on their phone, is always just "wi-fi."
Shortwave is the ORIGINAL satellite radio.
