One TV Station group ownership says No More "Free" Commercials

[giantsfan2016]

The head of Raycom Media has decided no more "Free" Commercials.

What is a "Free" commercial?

Stories on the local newscasts like these:

"57 cent Pancakes at I-Hop"
"75 cent donuts at Krispy Kreme."
"Free Burritos at Moes because the local team won a game"

And the list goes on and on.

Off the top of my head I don't know what stations across the country they own. All I know they don't own any stations in Hartford, Springfield Mass, Boston, Providence, New York City, or Philly.
