Yeah, but Murdoch owns TalkTV (it's mostly a simulcast of his TalkRadio) and GBNews, a part-owner of which is John Malone, which Olbermann keeps telling us is paste-eater Chris Licht's ventriloquist through his controlling interest of WBD, is trying to be (within the impartiality guidelines of

In Chicago Weigel's WCIU is not carrying the LIV package (Nexstar's WGN is). I have been wondering if Nexstar is planning to either pull the CW affiliation from WCIU or offer to buy Weigel, which would include a merger of their vintage TV subchannels with Weigel's MeTV and their subchannels.

I’m curious, do Sky or BBC or ITV televise the coronations or inaugurations of other countries? Because I don’t see a lot (or any) newsworthiness for Americans who denounced the crown back in the 1770s. I’m sure it’ll be pretty and fancy and full of pomp (autocorrect kept changing that to pimp)

More recent accounts suggest that an agreement has been reached. The BBC leads on this operation with Sky and ITV contributing, and from what I can tell it's a multi-million production including the UK's largest ever 4K outside broadcast. The fees that were being asked were in the six figure

There's precedent for this with at least one of the stations involved: WTOG was the initial Fox affiliate for the Tampa Bay area when the network was just the Joan Rivers show, but when Fox started moving to expand into prime-time, they dropped the affiliation and stayed independent. (In the

If Trump (or someone like-minded) takes the presidency, the rule of law will be essentially tossed in the trash and justice will be redefined to mimic the famous Nixon quote “If the President does it, that makes it legal.” In other words, he won’t be parsing who actually used his name when
