Cable operator Bright House Networks is taking full ownership of local news channel Central Florida News 13, buying out partner Orlando Sentinel Communications’ 50% stake for an undisclosed sum.
Orlando Sentinel Communications is a division of Tribune Broadcasting Co. Reporters and columnists from The Sentinel will continue to contribute to the local news net, which launched back in 1997.
Bright House also owns a local news net in Tampa. Plans call for the Orlando and Tampa news channels to collaborate more beginning next year.
