Scott D. Pierce: “The television giant that owns two Utah TV stations and operates a third is cutting local newscasts from at least five of its stations.”
ISinclair Broadcast Group, Inc.'s headquarters stands in Hunt Valley, Maryland.The television giant that owns two Utah TV stations and operates a third is cutting local newscasts from at least five of its stations.
But, as of May 15, there will be no local newscasts on Sinclair stations in Gainesville, Florida; Medford, Oregon; Omaha, Nebraska; Sioux City, Iowa; and Toledo, Ohio. There are reports that local news may be dropped at other Sinclair outlets, but those are unconfirmed as of this writing. But not so long ago, this would have been absolutely unthinkable. Local news operations have long been the cash cows of local TV stations. Conventional wisdom was that the late newscast alone brought in half a station’s revenue.
This move to drop local news seems more than a little bit dangerous to me. If your local network affiliate doesn’t have local news, what reason is there to watch it? You can stream ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and CW shows online, so you don’t really need the middle man of a local station.
