I heard about lin media losing cbs affiliate in indy wish tv losing cbs after 57 years. Wttv is getting cbs, a tribune owned station would this affect antenna tv in fort wayne?

 

[Mr Tony]

doubt it...you dont have a tribune station there.

 

[Mr Tony]

the station that right now should be worried is WLFI in Lafayette (the only station in the market) as they get promos and news stuff from WISH in Indy

I talked to ted linn that runs linn media about it he said don't worry about it now but maybe when contract runs out for antenna tv. Is weigel owned by tribune cause that would rule out metv and movies contract?

you obviously havent worked for a company that had a major change happen because if you did you would realize that is a line of bull honkey.
They will say "business as usual" until it happens.

Weigel is an owner of stations just like tribune, lin, sinclair, etc
