Dorado Media

Own work

Dorado Media is a television broadcast company headquartered in Portland, Oregon, which has grown since 2015 into a modern-day, successful television group based out of Portland through a series of acquisitions ranging from the same year.

News Operation
On March 19, 2011, Tribune Broadcasting, a subsidiary of the Tribune Media Company had launched a television news program for 3 of its CW stations called ''Newsfix. ''

Before the launch, Tribune had launched Nightcap, an evening half-hour news program based off morning show ''EyeOpener. ''However, the company rejected the idea and decided to rebrand the program as Newsfix.

After Newsfix launched, the idea for Nightcap had been abandoned and a few years later in 2016, Nightcap had been acquired by Dorado Media.

Programming
Dorado Media began producing local and national syndicated programs, which mostly were focused for the company's Fox and CW stations.

The initial programs launched by the company include The Murphy Davis Show, Live and Local (a locally produced syndicated show) and The Underbelly of Paradise (which is co-produced with A Taze First Production) 

Stations Owned by Dorado Media
On January 18, 2017, following a similar move with the ACME Television Stations, Dorado Media announced it would launch a service similar to The CW Plus for DBC stations. However, since the company co-owns the Dorado Broadcasting Company, the chosen stations wouldn't be considered owned-and-operated by the company.
