Huh. There was a weird precursor to all of this in early 2022 -- when with no warning Nexstar was stripped of its CBS affiliation in the tiny Marquette, MI market.
CBS opted for the .2 channel of a MeTV affiliate owned by Lilly, which later that year launched local news. Nexstar's WJMN-TV retained its newscasts with a MyNetwork TV affiliation before selling last year to a shell company for Morgan Murphy -- which combined WJMN's operations with that of an ABC/CW duopoly it had just acquired from the estate of tiny-market operator Stephen Marks.
All of these stations are pygmies compared with Gray's WLUC -- with a primary NBC affiliation and Fox on .2.

Outstanding analysis, especially at the end with the impact on local news ...recommending...
