(From TVWeek.com -- By Michele Greppi)

NBC is selling two of its owned stations, WTVJ-TV in Miami and WVIT-TV in Hartford, Connecticut.

"We've taken a hard look at our portfolio and made some difficult decisions about what's best for our business going forward," NBC Local Media Division President JOHN WALLACE said Wednesday in an email to staffers.

"With the exception of San Diego, NBC LOCAL MEDIA will concentrate on the nation's top 10 television markets and on growing our digital platforms," he said.

"We'll continue to explore the best ways for our entire portfolio to function in terms of new resources, new technologies and, most importantly, new ways of thinking."
