As Nextar continues their plan of merging KGPE and KSEE into one station, they called a mandatory meeting for the staff.

At the meeting the station will unveil it's plans for "branding, positioning and differentiating the CBS47 and KSEE24 news product."

In other words, they'll talk about how crews will be working for two stations and doing more work, for the same amount of money as they make now.
