KSAS Sues KWCH Over News Production
Fox affiliate KSAS Wichita owner Newport Television filed suit Thursday in District Court against Sunflower Broadcasting, parent of CBS affil KWCH, alleging that KWCH has stopped producing KSAS’ 9 p.m. newscast live, as required by contract. Instead, the suit says, KWCH is recording the KSAS newscast in advance and producing a live 9 p.m. newscast for KWCH’s sister station, CW affiliate KSCW.
Sunflower Broadcasting’s CBS affiliate in Wichita, Kan., will produce the two half-hour newscasts for the co-owned CW affil beginning in September.
