Merger discussion
[edit]I propose merging KYUS-TV into this article per the result of the discussion at Talk:KNDO#Merger proposal. The rationale I have for this proposal is identical to the one I presented at that discussion, so repeating it here would be redundant. 100.7.34.111 (talk) 21:53, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose. User:Sammi Brie split the article for a reason.

- KYUS has enough independent history and changed parent stations twice. There is also the not-insubstantial fact, at least to me, that this station's future is a ginormous question mark. KYUS-TV and KXGN-TV are the last Marks assets that were not sold following his death. Even the group that bought the Marks Montana–Dakota radio cluster (including stations in Glendive and Miles City!) didn't purchase the TV stations.

- Oppose: While KYUS-TV has been a satellite station for most of its history (and a KULR-TV satellite for nearly half of its 56 years), it hasn't always been one (its first 15 years were completely separate from any other station, and even its time licensed as a KXGN-TV satellite in the 1990s was only on paper, since that was when KYUS was a Fox affiliate instead of running KXGN's CBS/NBC mixture). It has also never been actually co-owned with KULR at any point (unlike when it was linked with KOUS-TV and KSVI), and the underlying time brokerage agreement has only ever had informal month-to-month extensions in the 17 years since the original 10-year term lapsed (long before Marks died, and at this point longer than the original TBA to start with). This isn't really comparable to KNDO/KNDU, a pairing that came on two years apart and have always been linked together (including in ownership) in some way.
