Scripps has purchased Ion Media networks with help from Berkshare Hathaway for $2.65Billion. Here is the press release from September announcing the sale.

Within days of this announcement Scripps also purchased KCDO-TV (K3). Now we know what is going to happen with KPXC. KPXC along with 21 other Ion owned & operated stations are being sold to INYO Broadcast Holdings, LLC. This is of course dependent on FCC & DOJ approval. At this time we don't know a lot about INYO broadcast holdings,LLC other than they are owned by investment firm Methuselah Advisors.
So at some point expect an affiliation switch between the two Denver stations maybe late December or early January.
Also the Grit network will eventually move to either a sub channel of KMGH or KCDO and Ion will be on the main KCDO 3.1 signal.
SO STAY TUNED!!!!!
