Perhaps the financial trouble is only (or, primarily) on the local
scale?  And, it could be both local stations needing a financial boost,
for that matter, and each saving some money by sharing some aspects of
the work?  Economies of scale, and all that....   :)

Partnering with other stations has been getting a lot more prevalent
lately, but I've seen it more in the public radio networks, as I'm not
that tuned into TV.  Locally, WXXI-FM and AM have been simulcasting with
(I think it's) WJSU, at Houghton College, for a few years now, and
recently have been simulcasting the NPR newscasts with WRUR at the UofR
as well.  And then, of course, there are the joint ventures, such as the
Voice of the Voter, with WXXI-TV, WOKR (again, I think that's the right
one) and isn't that with the D&C as well?
