The E.W. Scripps Company has agreed to acquire two television stations owned by Granite Broadcasting Corp. – Detroit MyNetworkTV affiliate WMYD and Buffalo, N.Y., ABC affiliate WKBW – for $110 million in cash.

So Scripps will own two stations in Detroit (they already own the ABC affiliate WXYZ)

So Granite will continue to own two stations in Ft. Wayne. (They own the NBC and MyTV and operate the ABC and CW affiliates) And will lose reporters based in Detroit.

I can pick up WMYD on good DX nights.
