The “Trump Links” sign, named after former President Donald Trump, was removed from the Ferry Point golf course in New York City and replaced with a sign reading “Bally Links,” named after Bally’s Corporation.
This Bronx golf course was operated by the Trump Organization from 2015 to 2023.
The “Trump Links” sign could be seen from the Whitestone Bridge for almost ten years.
Last week, New York City Mayor Eric Adams cut the ribbon to unveil the new “Bally Links” sign.
“This day is about so much more than the changing of a sign,” Adams declared. “For far too long, this beautiful borough has been sitting on the sideline of the progression of our city. I want to thank Bally’s for having the vision, and I’m excited about the opportunities that will come out of this partnership.”

Update: Standard General blasted the FCC’s decision to send its proposed acquisition of Tegna to an administrative law judge, accusing the agency of trying to scuttle the deal by delaying it.
On Friday, the FCC’s Media Bureau issued an order sending the transaction to the judge for a hearing. The bureau took issue with the transaction’s potential to raise consumer prices and to result in layoffs.
In a statement, Standard General’s managing partner Soo Kim said, “A decision delayed is a decision denied. Our proposed transaction is consistent with all FCC regulations and precedent. It is bolstered by a voluntary commitment to invest in local news, preserve newsroom jobs, and address purported concerns related to consumer pricing. But rather than rule on the transaction’s merits, as the law requires, the Media Bureau is attempting to scuttle the deal by ordering a wholly unnecessary hearing process,...

Some of the biggest surprises in media M&a this year came not from ambitious CEOs or activist investors but from the clinical precision of regulators focused on warding off too much market concentration.
Industry insiders, meanwhile, say judges and antitrust watchdogs are focused on the wrong mature businesses while online-based media continues to operate like the Wild West. The anti-Big Media mood on both sides of the partisan divide in Washington is likely to complicate the completion of the biggest media transaction of the year, Microsoft’s proposed all-cash 68 billion takeover of gaming giant Activision Blizzard.
“Under this administration, that deal has a 50-50 chance of going through,” says a veteran entertainment attorney who specializes in M&a and regulatory issues.
The simmering regulatory probe by the Justice Dept. and Federal Trade Commission of the Microsoft-Activision merger is being closely watched as a litmus test for future transactions.

Standard General’s proposed acquisition of Tegna is facing new scrutiny from Capitol Hill, as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Commerce Committee Frank Pallone fired off a letter to the FCC expressing their concerns about the transaction.
Standard General, however, said that the lawmakers were being misled by opponents of the transaction, who include public interest groups and the NewsGuild Cwa, and that Pelosi and Pallone’s letter was applying “improper pressure” to the FCC.
Under the terms of the transaction, an affiliate of Standard General would purchase Tegna, which has 64 stations in 51 markets. Apollo Global Management, owner of Cox Media Group, is involved in financing the deal. Following the close of the transaction, Cox will acquire Tegna stations in Austin (Kvue), Dallas (Wfaa and Kmpx) and Houston (Khou and Ktbu) from Standard General.

The Third Annual First Time Fest took place over the past weekend in New York City, from March 5th to March 9th. The festival, which celebrates first time filmmakers, had numerous panels that discussed topics such as financing films to getting the right marketing for the film to even talks from established filmmakers sharing their advice. The festival concluded with the honoring of Harvey Weinstein, as a tribute for “his support of first time filmmakers.”
A purely New York City centric film festival, the festival’s founders of Johanna Bennett and Mandy Ward chose to show the films at the Core Club, the Village East Cinema, and the Wild Project, while the discussions and panels were featured at the B Bar and Grill. The festival allows for a five day competition among films that were completed by first time filmmakers for the chance to win international sales and theatrical distribution.
