NBC and Fox move in on KRON; Young emerges out of BK; Tuesday pulse

As KRON's parent company, Young broadcasting, emerges from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the rumor circuit has NBC, (which owns KNTV-11 in San Jose) and possibly Fox, which has always coveted a presence in the Bay Area market to run KRON, (which means the demise of the news operation at the 1001 Van Ness building.)

Fox aff, KTVU, is owned by Cox Broadcasting.

NBC, which essentially cut its nose to spite its face a decade ago, would seem to be the favorite to manage  KRON. The proposed shared-services agreement with NBC Bay Area makes too much sense to td, and would move the news operation to San Jose.

Watch this space for future details.
