Nexstar Media general is one step closer of becoming the new owners of WIVB-DT and WNLO-DT Buffalo. The U.S. Department of Justice has given its approval with their condition of sale of seven stations.
Good news is that N.M.G. is likely to add sub-channels to at least one of their Buffalo stations But it is not publically known if the current owners, LIN Media, committed one of their Buffalo stations, probably WNLO on RF 32, to the FCC Reverse Auction. If this was the case then both WNLO and WIVB would both broadcast on the same frequency with their I.D. virtual numbers remaining through the new ASTC 3.0 technology. But the question of the location of the transmitter remains.
