Gray Television - Management of Young Broadcasting Stations

Management of Young Broadcasting Stations

On July 22, 2009, a New York bankruptcy judge approved a plan transferring ownership of Young Broadcasting and its stations to the company's secured lenders. The plan included Gray Television coming in as an outside party and advise on operations of Young-owned stations in seven markets through December 2012. (The new Young Broadcasting still has final word on the stations' operations, including programming and personnel.)

The Young-owned stations managed by Gray Television include:

  • WKRN-TV in Nashville, TN
  • WTEN in Albany, NY and translator WCDC-TV in Adams, MA
  • WRIC-TV in Richmond, VA
  • WBAY-TV in Green Bay, WI
  • KWQC-TV in Davenport, IA
  • KELO-TV in Sioux Falls, SD and its translators throughout South Dakota
  • KLFY in Lafayette, LA

Young Broadcasting would retain ownership of all of its stations, including three stations that Gray would not operate: KRON-TV in San Francisco, CA, WATE-TV in Knoxville, TN, and WLNS-TV in Lansing, MI, the latter two due to Gray already owning stations in those markets. Gray has considered the possibility of purchasing the Young stations if they go on the market.

    The care of a house, the conduct of a home, the management of children, the instruction and government of servants, are as deserving of scientific treatment and scientific professors and lectureships as are the care of farms, the management of manure and crops, and the raising and care of stock.
    Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)

    If there is anything I really fear it is the mind of a young girl.
    Jane Heap (c. 1880–1964)

    We spend all day broadcasting on the radio and TV telling people back home what’s happening here. And we learn what’s happening here by spending all day monitoring the radio and TV broadcasts from back home.
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)

    A reader who quarrels with postulates, who dislikes Hamlet because he does not believe that there are ghosts or that people speak in pentameters, clearly has no business in literature. He cannot distinguish fiction from fact, and belongs in the same category as the people who send cheques to radio stations for the relief of suffering heroines in soap operas.
    Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
