Oh no, our prodigal son!

  • i guess its more that Sinclair is asserting itself as the authority over the affiliates from programming choices made by the mothership, which is probably true in an immediate sense, but i gotta wonder if sinclair thinks their audience gives a shit about their local production segments on “Which WalMart Has the Best Deal for Back to School Supplies” or 10 minutes of B-roll footage of a middle school parking lot while Chip “Haircut” Powers does voice over about a fire in a trashcan MORE than the actual multi-billion dollar spectacle machines of NY and LA.

    i don’t watch tv anymore and neither does anyone i know under the age of 150 unless they’re in the waiting room of a car repair shop, so im eager to see this fight go 12 rounds and end in an execution.

      Yeah I get the sneaking suspicion that if this turns into a long term fight, the biggest impact will just be to accelerate the irrelevance of network TV.
