Media Monopoly in Corpus Christi

One of our three local news stations is essentially being acquired by one of the other two, courtesy of some crazy FCC loophole. Rumor has it that the feisty, low-budget station that is being bought will soon stop having its own newscasts and start airing the polished, fluffy newscasts of the one that is buying it. I don't know if that rumor is true, but, if it is, I guess we will soon have more opportunities to watch canned stories about, oh, exploding condos in North Dakota rather than actual local news coverage. Sigh....
