Meredith-owned KCTV outsourced sports a few years ago. I remember seeing a report a little while back from The ex-Chief that some of KCTV's executives have moved to WGCL, so I guess that was one of the ideas they brought with them.
I'm kind of surprised I don't hear about this sort of thing happening more frequently, given what the internet and multi-channel ESPN have done for the availability of sports scores and highlights (and thus the draw of the nightly sports report.) KCTV and WGCL are the only ones I can think of that have actually outsourced, but I know that Clear Channel shares some sports resources (and branding) between WOAI TV and their sports radio outlet in San Antonio.
