I knew that the CBS Entertainment Group plus Warner Bros. was dissolving
its partnership and selling the C-Wub. I didn't realize Nexstar was
buying 75% of it. Different units of Paramount and Warner Bros. will end
up owning 12 1/2 % each.

A number of years ago, Nexstar bought Trib station group. Now, Trib was
incredibly unhappy with the C-Wub and dropped its affiliations. WGN
dropped its affiliation after 2015-16 and I think they dropped
affiliations in other markets too.

Nexstar has CW affiliates in 37 markets. I guess that's why they are
buying the network.

Hopefully they’ll fire everybody and just play country music and
evangelists.

That's what I'm hoping for too - will drive the woke post-Millennials
completely nuts!

It’s more like a putt.
