Pros

They own a bunch of mostly small, non glamorous tv stations

Cons

They don't seem to care about quality broadcasting, workers, fair reporting. Reportedly traded positive spin for access to Trump

Thank you for taking the time to review the Company. You may notice the press release that came out yesterday regarding the Trump coverage. It is absolutely not true and we have been working around the clock to quell this rumor. There have been several published apologies regarding this misleading and irresponsible coverage from other news organizations.

Pros

They have good health plan and go over it in depth you. if you like to work in TV then they are a good company for that. They have stations all over the US so if you like to move you can.

Cons

They are very corporate, bottom line is everything. We were a small company and got bought out. i can tell the difference between corporate environment and how it use to be. But for a large corp. they have a get it done mentality. Also if you transfer positions in state be prepared to work your old job for at least 3 month.
