LIN TV Corp., a subsidiary of LIN Media, reports its first quarter revenues increased 15 percent to $103.2 million in 2012, whereas in 2011 that same figure was $89.7 million.
That’s a $13.5 million increase. But what caused the bump?

New Vision Television announced last week its plans to sell its local broadcast group of 13 stations in eight television markets nationwide to LIN Television Corp., also known as LIN Media.
The only one of those in the South TV News coverage area: CBS affiliate WIAT in Birmingham, Ala.
WALA-WFNA has a new vice president and general manager: Gary Yoder.
He started at the LIN Media-owned duopoly for the Mobile, Ala.-Pensacola, Fla., market on May 3.
After Tuesday, April 3, Cable One subscribers in Mobile, Ala., will no longer receive WALA-TV on their lineup, but it’s not the cable company’s fault.
That’s what a representative said in a release sent to the Sun Herald newspaper Friday.
Mere hours before stations in five states, including Alabama, were slated to disappear from cable provider Cox Communications, a deal was reached to continue programming under a new retransmission agreement.
As we reported last month, the removal of those stations threatened two stations within the South TV News area, Mobile, Ala.-Pensacola, Fla., FOX affiliate WALA-TV and CW affiliate WFNA-TV.
LIN Media, with stations in six states across the eastern U.S., has announced to viewers of its stations that a potential blackout could come this week unless their parent company reaches a new retransmission agreement with COX Communications.
TVSpy reports this week that nine stations are at risk, including two in the southeast: FOX affiliate WALA and CW affiliate WFNA. These two stations are in the Mobile, Ala.-Pensacola, Fla., market.
