Management of Young Broadcasting Stations
On July 22, 2009, a New York bankruptcy judge approved a plan transferring ownership of Young Broadcasting and its stations to the company's secured lenders. The plan included Gray Television coming in as an outside party and advise on operations of Young-owned stations in seven markets through December 2012. (The new Young Broadcasting still has final word on the stations' operations, including programming and personnel.)
The Young-owned stations managed by Gray Television include:
- WKRN-TV in Nashville, TN
- WTEN in Albany, NY and translator WCDC-TV in Adams, MA
- WRIC-TV in Richmond, VA
- WBAY-TV in Green Bay, WI
- KWQC-TV in Davenport, IA
- KELO-TV in Sioux Falls, SD and its translators throughout South Dakota
- KLFY in Lafayette, LA
Young Broadcasting would retain ownership of all of its stations, including three stations that Gray would not operate: KRON-TV in San Francisco, CA, WATE-TV in Knoxville, TN, and WLNS-TV in Lansing, MI, the latter two due to Gray already owning stations in those markets. Gray has considered the possibility of purchasing the Young stations if they go on the market.

“This we take it is the grand characteristic of our age. By our skill in Mechanism, it has come to pass, that in the management of external things we excel all other ages; while in whatever respects the pure moral nature, in true dignity of soul and character, we are perhaps inferior to most civilised ages.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)

“Another appealing aspect to having grandparents is that they do help, to give [your child] a sense of continuity—of his place in the world and in the generations. Not only do grandparents help him intellectually to comprehend that there are parents of parents, but they also aid him in understanding where he fits in the succession of things. Even a very young child can begin to feel a sense of rootedness and history.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
“We spend all day broadcasting on the radio and TV telling people back home what’s happening here. And we learn what’s happening here by spending all day monitoring the radio and TV broadcasts from back home.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“After I was married a year I remembered things like radio stations and forgot my husband.”
—P. J. Wolfson, John L. Balderston (1899–1954)
