The Result: According to Brady Dreasler, corporate director of engineering, the new investment will allow the company to standardize its news workow, as well as retire aging and mismatched equipment. The initial order of 31 cameras includes a dozen GY HM200s 4KCAM compact handheld camcorders for multimedia journalists, as well as GY HM890s ProHD shoulder- mount camcorders for ENG work. “We needed to standardize on one brand for purchasing power and support,” he explained. “JVC has stayed close and supportive of Quincy Media as a customer, and their products t exactly what we’re trying to accomplish.” Most of the initial new cameras were assigned to WXOW, the ABC and CW aliate in La Crosse, Wis. (DMA #129), as well as KTTC, the NBC and CW aliate, and KXLT, the FOX aliate, in Rochester, Minn. (DMA #153). Dreasler said the initial order will help “make sure we get the workow right” before distributing new camcorders to other stations. Both the GY-HM890 and GY-HM200 feature integrated streaming with Wi-Fi and 4G LTE connectivity, which allows live HD transmission directly to hardware decoders or CDNs such as JVC VIDEOCLOUD and Facebook Live. .

April 2021 Amendment in Light of the Supreme Court's Decision In
REDACTED FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION April 2021 Amendment In light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Prometheus, Quincy Media, Inc. (“Quincy”) and Gray Television, Inc. (“Gray”) hereby amend their pending applications seeking Commission consent to the long-form transfer of control to Gray of certain license-holding subsidiaries of Quincy.1 Quincy and Gray submit the instant amendment to refresh the record concerning the three markets in which Gray initially requested failing station waivers. The parties provide herein data demonstrating that each of those station combinations continues to comply with the Commission’s local television ownership rule as adopted in the Reconsideration Order. Prior to the Order on Reconsideration, the Commission’s rules prohibited any entity from owning two stations unless (i) eight independent television voices remained in the market (the “Eight-Voices Test”) after the proposed combination; and (ii) at least one of the stations was not ranked among the top-four television station in a market (the “Top Four Prohibition”). The Commission’s rules also limited the number of television and radio stations any entity could own in a single market (“Radio-Television Cross-Ownership Rule”). In the Order on Reconsideration, the Commission eliminated the Eight-Voices Test and the Radio-Television Cross-Ownership Rule, which the Supreme Court in Prometheus has now affirmed. In the initial applications, Gray requested failing station waivers in three markets: (1) South Bend-Elkhart, Indiana; (2) Fort Wayne, Indiana; and (3) Duluth, Minnesota-Superior, Wisconsin. In each of the markets Gray requested a failing station waiver, because the markets will not have eight independent television voices following the transaction.
