WLTZ-38, the NBC station in Columbus has been sold to Sagamore Hill broadcasting. It was the last station owned by Savannah based Lewis Broadcasting (WJCL's former owner) Article in Columbus Ledger-Enquirer Newspaper www.ledger-enquirer.com/164/story/24790.htmlI wonder if the new owners will bring local news to this station. Or at least change the logo to something not so plain and boring;  |

I saw an article about Lewis Broadcasting's decision to sell ownership of WLTZ to SagamoreHill Broadcasting. www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA6437753.htmWLTZ hasn't had news broadcasts since the mid '90s. I'm hoping that once the same is approved by the FCC, that SagamoreHill could and might be considering plans to begin a new news department operation for the Georgia-Alabama NBC affiliate. I do believe there is room for a 3rd news department operation, and that it's time for WRBL and WTVM to get some new competition... even though Columbus-Phenix City currently stands at 127 in the Nielsen's DMA rankings. Just my opinion. |
