I’m someone who has a stake in local broadcasting surviving by fulfilling our mission to serve my community of license. Believe it or not, there are still station employees that aren’t in news that give a shit.

NXST is at 160, paying 4% and pe ratio of 9. Practically a utility.

LOL. Groups are still running good margins and scooping massive paydays; some still pay a dividend.. Again, concentrated ownership is bad.

Sorry to hear this.

If I was trying to keep my stock relevant, I’d be shouting AI, too. It’s all they’ve got. The industry painted themselves into a corner, like junkies hooked on retrans cash, not realizing they were strangling our only viable distribution source.

Biggest thing is culture fit. You have the skills or can certainly be quickly trained. The larger question is can you fit into their preexisting rhythm.

This may sound like lifetime network BS, but if you love the job (broadcasting, weird right, its like shortwave radio now) and want to serve the viewers and the license, AND can swallow the BS of being owned by a mega-corp that forgot all the aforementioned schmaltz, I say go for it. I say broadcast while we still can. It won’t be long now. 30 year vet.

Anything to maintain a 50% margin. Greedy fucks could care less about their communities of license.

Getting ready to sell their licenses to Shitter?

Broadcasting, particularly local broadcasting, is a great idea, an engineering triumph, and a noble pursuit. Unfortunately, it has long since been concentrated by national interests that have forgotten the local part.
