Allen Media Group

Allen Media is getting closer to bankruptcy status. This could be good news for ABC 12 as Byron Allen $uck$ as an owner. Anyone would HAVE to be better.

From FTV Live, AMG sources are telling them that there's a hiring freeze PLUS some AMG owned network affiliates are having their newscasts cut:
AMG's Ft. Wayne,Indiana FOX station WFFT has axed their Weekend and are targeting Monday - Friday newscasts [no word on if it's either Morning, noon or 10pm]
AMG's Layfayette,Indiana CBS station WLFI is said to have dumped weekend newscasts.
* MY THOUGHT* If you work at 'JRT abc12...id be updating resume's STAT!

A lesson to learn Mr. Allen:
If one wants to be a "big fish" and not continue to be a "guppy and grow slowly" like you should be doing, one should mind his own stores and improve THEM, and not try so fast to be TOO big,for if you do, you're liable to be "Hoisted by your own petard" [ examples : trying to Buy BET, Trying to buy Buy ABC, Trying to buy SCRIPPS, and Oh yeah..Trying to buy Paramount Global..get the idea?}

Just who do you think will buy his properties? Do you honestly think the next operator will be better?

I know I’m pipe dreaming but I’d love to see ABC Disney buy ABC12 back…

Is his group the one who bought the Weather Channel and ran it back into the ground with endless drivelly fake reality shows like “ ice road truckers”…. “401 highway disasters”….

Byron Allen had no business buying broadcast TV stations and should've stayed in his lane with cheap syndication shows and fake court shows with paid actors & actresses and not real cases.

And it will never change ABC12 Brodcasting.

That's correct. I don't know how TWC is still able to exist when the alternatives are far superior, along with the fact that they're consistently getting rid of their best talent. Shit, I'm half expecting Cantore to say "fuck you, I'm out" in the next few years.

I like Fox Weather - free on Channel 2.x

The guy can't even make the network payments on time.

Most of the fan faves of TWC now call FOX WEATHER home

[MasterB]

Where would ABC go in Flint if they yank ABC from Byron Allen stations across the country, along with CBS, NBC, & Fox? Byron should be selling some of his mansions & cars to pay The Big 4.

I haven't watched TWC in a long time. I thought Cantore retired years ago.

JR has been there for a couple of decades so that’s why he’s the Chief. There was a rumor on here that he was going to retire sometime this year. If he does, I think they’re crazy if they don’t promote Christina to Chief
