Big behind-the-scenes news at the Sinclair local stations: the broadcaster is reorganising many of its local newsrooms in smaller markets. 

Staying with Sinclair, seems like there's more casualties from the local news cut: WNWO Toledo (NBC) and KTVL Medford (CBS, CW Plus).

Now KMEG/KPTH in Siouxland (CBS/Fox) are pulling the plug as well:

BY MID MAY THERE WILL BE TWO FEWER LOCAL TV STATIONS PROVIDING LOCAL NEWS ON YOUR AIRWAYS.

CBS-14, FORMERLY KNOWN AS KMEG ALONG WITH THEIR SISTER STATION KPTH WILL END THEIR LOCAL NEWSCASTS ON MAY 12TH.

THEY ARE THE LATEST STATIONS SINCLAIR BROADCASTING HAS DROPPED LOCAL NEWS AT THIS YEAR.

SINCLAIR IS ALSO REPORTEDLY ENDING LOCAL NEWS IN PENSACOLA, FLORIDA, MOBILE ALABAMA AND TOLEDO, OHIO, AS WELL AS A STATION COVERING NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND SOUTHERN OREGON.
