If the Tegna deal gets approved, Clark and the whole Next production crew should break out and start their own online network before indie journalism/media gets more saturated. Clark already has a national following on Threads, Blue Sky and youtube. People are starving for no bullshit journalism and are leaving corporate news in droves. How many millenials and Gen Zers watch tv anymore? Sinclair and Deathstar can fight for the boomers who are still alive and GenX who, well, underachieve. I mean look what Ben Meiselas has put together with Meidas Touch Network using youtube, Substack, and other platforms. They have almost 6 million subscribers and consistently beat out Fox online weekly. And he's just a lawyer turned "journalist". Clark has that potential
Wow, the part about the chainsaw reshaping someone's face really stood out to me. What a vivid, and unfortunately accurate, way to describe the potential impact! You've definately hit on a critical issue here. It’s concerning how fast media landscapes can shift with such clear political agendas.
WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO realize about Nexstar and Sinclair, they are not just conservative. They are fundamentalist evangelical protestant born again Christian Nutbags who see the devil in everything not them. They are too much even for right winger John Caldera , but they are going to be fun to take swipes at every time a new 9 News blonde hair blue eyed Volksgemeinschaft show racial purity. No more Mexicans on air. Just Erika Kirk look a likes with long blonde streaming hair wrapped in the U.S flag...
Denver is already so oversaturated with evangelicals and tech bros that it’s palpably more boring and claustrophobic than ever and these corporate mergers pushing those agendas are just furthering the vapidity.
If the Tegna deal goes through, Colorado's shift to a moderate, reasonable form of politics will be endangered. 9News will become a Faux "News"-style right-wing propaganda and disinformation mill. And that will in turn influence hundreds of thousands of viewers to vote right, as Faux viewers do.
I presume you’re asking about the West Slope, but I never watched any local TV there so I don’t actually know. I also left there quite a few years ago.

Co-sign.
The question is who pays for the salaries at first.
If they go non-profit they can perhaps obtain a start-up grant.

Not a lot of confidence in the voting public there!
Wow. So, Denver might finally get some TV “news” worth watching.
Oh well. I moved out of their broadcast area decades ago. Went to the West Slope.
How is the TV news out there?
