Re: KGMB - KHNL - KFVE "shared services agreement"
Here's my understanding of the situation (which could be completely wrong!):
Currently, MCG owns KGMB. Raycom owns KHNL/KFVE. After the shakeout, MCG will own KFVE, and Raycom will own KHNL/KGMB. All three stations will continue to operate much as they do now, with the same network affiliations and programming, except for news. Raycom will run the news opearations for all three channels. Just as KHNL and KFVE currently use one news operation originating at KHNL's studio, the new setup will have a combined KHNL/KGMB news operation, again originating from KHNL's new studio, providing the news for all three stations, most likely simulcast on all three (KFVE could still run news at oddball timeslots like it does now, but that could change too).
That's my understanding based on everything I've read and heard so far. I have no inside info whatsoever. Take it with a grain of salt and use at your own risk!
