I noticed this advertisement on the dasher boards tonight at the Springfield Falcons AHL hockey game in Springfield, MA. How is one group allowed to control three of the so-called Big 4 network affiliates in one market? The stations referenced are:
WSHM-LD channel 21 Springfield, MA "CBS 3" (referring to the basic cable channel number in the area)
WGGB-TV (ABC) channel 40 Springfield, MA
WGGB-TV (FOX) channel 40-2 Springfield, MA "FOX 6" (referring to the basic cable channel number in the area)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Merideth own the "CBS 3" station? I know it's operated by WFSB-TV (CBS) channel 3 of Hartford.
[The Big 4 station not showing here is WWLP-TV (NBC) channel 22 of Springfield, MA. They're owned by LIN Broadcasting.]
