Show Notes
Circle City Broadcastings $83 million acquisition of WRTV, the ABC affiliate in Indianapolis, has led to significant staff cuts, including meteorologist Kyle Mounce, anchor Nicole Griffin, and community reporter Nico Pennisi. The deal, which also includes WISH-TV on CW and WINDY-TV on MyNetworkTV, received a special waiver from the FCC despite monopoly concerns. Viewers express worry over potential slashed news coverage and a tighter market, while Circle City remains silent on the cuts.
