There's upward momentum this week at Spot TV for a venerable QSR brand that revolutionized hamburger consumption with "Speedy" and then brought in the kids with the clown named "Ronald." It's welcome news from the Golden Arches — especially after it cancelled its global FIFA World Cup participation after the 2026 North American affair.

If you attended the same law school as the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, you're in his good grace ... and in a pole position for a prime role at the agency. Just ask Will Holloway.

To get the Classic Hits on the air, it's been using a Class A FM in Williamstown, Ky.; a Class A FM serving neighboring Dayton, Ohio; and a Class A FM with a tower in Middletown, Ohio, to reach its radio audience. This has left a reception hole in downtown Cincinnati and the hipster communities on the south side of the Ohio River in Covington, Dayton and Newport, Ky. That signal gap has just been filled for WKRP.

Gray Media has selected a new General Manager for its two broadcast stations serving Lima, Ohio. Getting the job is an individual with some 42 years of experience under his wing.

The former CEO of free advertising-supported video platform Tubi will be succeeding Jennifer Witz. The new SiriusXM leader has also led music video hub Vimeo.

This document proposes to amend the Table of TV Allotments (Table) of the Federal Communications Commission's (Commission) rules in response to a petition for rulemaking filed by Gray Television Licensee, LLC (Gray), the licensee of KOSA-TV (KOSA-TV), Odessa, Texas (Odessa). Gray held a construction permit to construct a facility on UHF channel 31 at Odessa, and now requests that the Bureau substitute VHF channel 7 for UHF channel 31 in the Table, with the technical parameters as set forth in KOSA-TV's current license. The Media Bureau previously granted a petition for rulemaking submitted by Gray to substitute UHF channel 31 for VHF channel 7 at Odessa. Gray states that it is unable to complete construction of its new channel within the time specified on the construction permit, and therefore requests amendment of the Table to allow it to continue to operate on VHF channel 7 at its currently licensed technical parameters to provide uninterrupted service to viewers. Given that the Licensee proposes to utilize its currently licensed parameters, we believe VHF channel 7 can be substituted for UHF channel 31 at Odessa as proposed, in compliance with the principal community coverage requirements of the Commission's rules. In addition, we find that this channel change meets the technical requirements set forth in the Commission's rules.
