That’s bad news and I remember his company Northwest Broadcasting aka Stainless Broadcasting being in big bad ugly retransmission consent disputes with Directv and Dish in 2011, 2012, and 2013. I would favor me wanting either Journal Broadcasting of Milwaukee, WI or Meredith of Des Moines, IA acquirng crosstown rival KSWT as well as NTV/KFXL in Nebraska and Journal or LIN buying WIWN to help pay off bankruptcy debts from Harry Pappas and his Pappas Telecasting.

Is Jim Rogers still alive? I’m sure then he’ll make sure the closets are clean before Brady takes over.
