Actually, it's the DMN's parent company, Belo, that's being sold.
I wonder what effect this will have (eventually, not immediately) on SMU coverage.

Actually, DMN was sold some time ago and is not part of Belo anymore.

Other than that the title of the thread is completely accurate though.

It'll be interesting to see what changes there might be in the coverage of SMU (and other local teams) by the Channel 8 sports desk - more or less? more or less favorable? after this purchase.

Hold on, can it be any worse? Maybe the Mustang Club could sponsor a page or 1/2 a page (costs should not be too high these days) for SMU news at least once a week. Let Journalism majors write the copy. Call it the Pony Express!

Or ponyfans.com could sponsor it and call it The Pony Depress!
