| MUMBAI:
MyNetworkTV, the new primetime general entertainment television network, and Young
Broadcasting Inc., (YBI) have entered into an affiliation agreement for Kron.
The announcement was jointly
made today by Fox Television Stations CEO Jack Abernethy and YBI chairman Vincent
Young. Kron, a leading independent
television station, joins a rapidly growing list of stations joining the MyNetworkTV
affiliate base. Its affiliation with MyNetworkTV marks Kron’s return to network
television. MyNetworkTV is cleared in 52 markets throughout the United States,
representing 51 per cent of the country. The network will launch on 5 September
2006. Abernethy said, "Kron, one of the great independent stations in
the country, is a powerful brand and an icon in the San Francisco market which
it has served for the past 50 years. The Bay Area’s leading source of local news
and entertainment, Kron’s affiliation with MyNetworkTV is a significant agreement
for us and we are excited to be partnered with Young Broadcasting." "Kron
is coming home to the network television business. We are delighted that Fox and
its new network recognize the enormous value inherent in an affiliation with Kron
in San Francisco. For Young Broadcasting, this represents an opportunity to grow
our business with the last group to successfully launch a new national network.
The partnership will link two dynamic brand names in San Francisco to provide
strong entertainment programming and expanded advertising opportunities,"
said Young. |
