Brian Brady was in the news several times in 2018 regarding a bitter retransmission fee dispute with Charter Communications that lasted four months.

Now, San Antonio is also home to NEXTGEN TV, with ATSC 3.0-powered broadcast TV signals now being offered for four broadcast TV stations in the Texas market. But, several high-profile stations aren't participating in the rollout.

A Gray TV property which in July celebrates its 73rd birthday is getting a low-power sibling in another key city within the big Birmingham DMA — marking another move by Gray to ensure over-the-air reception, market-wide, of its broadcast TV properties.

To little surprise, there's been another prolongation of the exchange offers and term loan offers crafted more than nine months ago by iHeartMedia.
