In August 2023, RBR+TVBR exclusively reported on the acquisition of WBKB-11 in Alpena, Mich., from The Marks Media Group by Morgan Murphy Media. WBKB under Marks branded itself as the “Thunder Bay News Network,” and is home to all of the “Big Four” networks, with the DT1 signal home to CBS. NBC is on DT2, ABC is on DT3 and FOX is on DT4.
Now, Morgan Murphy is poised to “greatly expand its local news coverage” by entering a partnership with Sinclair Inc.‘s two stations in Traverse City.
