Allbritton has a unique operation in Birmingham, with a pair of ABC affiliates on opposite sides of the DMA airing identical programming and being measured as WBMA+. A Nielsen spokesperson said Allbritton’s non-traditional set-up in that DMA factored into the mistake.

Source Interlink Companies Plan of Reorganization Now Approved
Over the next few days Source will finalize the legal process and will emerge as a privately held company. As promised the lenders cancelled nearly $1 billion of the company's existing debt and have provided approximately $100 million in additional liquidity to the company. The restructuring materially reduces Source’s interest expense and debt levels, and substantially improves the company’s free cash flow allowing Source to capitalize on several operational opportunities to further improve and grow its business.
The current management will remain in place and the new company will select a regular board of directors after the legal process is finalized.

Former AW star Kyra Sedgwick (ex-Julia) on being in the tabloids after the Madoff scandal
"I always joked that the best thing for mine and Kevin's careers would be for one of us to have an affair. I didn't realize how unfunny it was until [the Madoff news broke]. Suddenly, I felt like when I walked into a room people were [whispering]. And they probably weren't. Then they're saying we lost everything? We didn't lose everything, we lost a pension. Some people had it so much worse. I have such newfound empathy for people who are always on these covers, like Jennifer Aniston."
