Oakhurst Broadcasting plans to retaliate if WBNO expands into Portland
Oakhurst Broadcasting (the owners of KPTE) made it clear their plan to fight the  Paramount Stations Group (owners of WBNO) if WBNO expands their signal to include Portland. "We have made it perfectly clear to Paramount that there is already an UPN affiliate here in Portland, and that is KPTE. Now, if WBNO does move to Portland, then we would have no choice but to retaliate. We're prepared to fight tooth and nail if WBNO expands. Make no mistake about it. Now, if they want to be the best UPN affiliate in Central Oregon, then that  them, but if they choose to come to the Pacific Northwest and Portland, we will fight," Oakhurst Broadcasting CEO Rocky Fredric said in his press conference this afternoon. Oakhurst owns 27 stations, 11 of them are UPN affiliates. When asked if Oakhurst will drop UPN in retaliation, Fredric would not confirm it, but he did admit that it is a possibility.

No word from  Paramount Stations Group or Viacom over the issue.
