Post-Newsweek Stations may be close to announcing the purchase of WTVJ, NBC Universal’s owned-and-operated NBC station in Miami, according to a Tuesday (July 15) report in the Miami Herald. If so, the acquisition would give Post-Newsweek, which owns WPLG, the ABC affiliate there, a duopoly in the 16th largest TV market.
The station could fetch as much as $350 to $400 million, money NBCU could use to offset its recent purchase of The Weather Channel.
Earlier this year NBCU announced its intent to sell the Miami station, as well as WVIT its owned-and-operated station in Hartford, Conn.
