The war surrounding local television stations KTUU and KTVA is going to the next level, now spilling over into the Attorney General’s office with accusations of political favors.

The May and July 2015 sweeps, a year and a half after the KTVA reboot, marks a good starting point to begin drawing judgments on what, if any, progress KTVA is making in its quest to compete.
