NBC11 NEWS drops NBC Branding on-air and from it's website.

Gray Television's NBC stations across the country including 11NEWS, KKCO are removing NBC branding from there stations, it appears as of this morning that 11NEWS has already done so.

It also appears as though most of the national news articles on the 11NEWS website are coming from Gray or CNN News Source, not NBC News.   There is no word at this time as to why Gray NBC stations are removing the network branding.    Will 11NEWS also drop the NBC themed music it has been using for a while?  I would say Yes.  

Gray Television owns & operates 70 NBC affiliate stations across the country.
