WHDH blows off Leno - Why not both News and Leno using sub-channels

[Maureen Carney]

Ansin has said they are simulcasting the 10PM news on both station. Whether that's posturing to see how far NBC will go is anyone's guess. If this was any other owner I would say a settlement would be negotiated soon. Not so much with Ansin, given the hard feelings he has towards NBC when they took affiliation away from WSVN. There may be an agreement before September but not without drama.

Doesn't Ansin also own channel 56?  Don't they have 7 news on 56 at
10?  What happens to that?  Do they really want two news programs
competing with each other?  How about Leno on 56?
