Cuts at WJAR

[TVNETDUDE@aol.com]

I'm afraid that the days of the local TV station are numbered. NBC's&O  
division today (April 1st), is having it's O&O stations operated by an  outside 
vendor down south. This is something I thought I would never see the  O&O's were 
always a gold mine and having an outside vendor operate master  control was 
out of the question. Not anymore. There is now talk of feeding  the cable 
company head-ends directly completely bypassing local TV  stations.

Media General is looking to  cluster properties (newspapers, TV) in 
geographic markets as much as possible,  see Tampa, so I would not be surprised if they 
dumped WJAR at some point soon  (if they can find a  buyer).<<<
