AGREEMENT REACHED....Possible Sinclair Locals Dispute 3/1/13

[Iceberg]

I only watch my local CW on weekends so I dont know if there are scrolls or not

[T_N_T]

WZTV, WNAB and WUXP keep running a scroll about it. It's most annoying on WZTV because they are a Fox affiliate and they don't have the capability to run HD network programming when running a scroll and yet they run the scroll several times during programming. They ran the scroll several times during the Daytona 500 and it kept kicking back to SD, so annoying.

Same story for WTAT and WMMP in Charleston, they don't have the availability to run HD syndicated programming, since they do FOX/MNT programs in HD, and WTAT do news in HD. But ABC affiliate WLOS and MNT WMYA in the Greenville, SC market does
