I don’t think it’ll happen, but I could certainly see him filling an analyst/contributor/commentator role. Charlie Gibson did that for ABC in 2016.

NFL Network is in cost-cutting mode, as they're laying-off some staff, including many on-air personalities, plus cancelling Total Access. If ESPN takes over NFL Media, then more than likely NFL Live will take over as the Shield's "show of record". Also, because NFL Media is now currently based across the driveway from SoFi Stadium, it would also potentially give ESPN a second Los Angeles-area studio facility to operate from, if necessary. This has been rumored for years.

I always thought Dan would have been a great replacement for Charlie Rose on CBS This Morning.

Thing is, WPIX runs 59 1/2 hours of newscasts per week (approximately 35% of its airtime), along with several additional local shows (10 extra hours), and the entire CW schedule (15 hours of primetime, a three-hour E/I block and an hour-long political talk show, plus sports).

In the eyes of the FCC, Mission only controls the programming and license of WPIX. Nexstar may have the "non-license assets" which likely includes anything involved in the production of newscasts, including equipment and personnel. As long as said newscasts (or any other programming provided by Nexstar) don't take up more than 15 percent of the station's airtime, then it can't be counted as ownership of WPIX. Since the people and equipment involved were most likely tied to Nexstar, than there's your liable party.

If he's able to and wants to, would it really be a good idea for CBS to bring back Dan maybe for one last election night? It seems that since this was his first appearance since his ouster years ago, it seems like CBS was able to give him a second chance and the controversy is all behind them. He still seems very sharp for 92.

Yea, it does. Just like WDAF-TV in Kansas City I don't know if it was an accident but that might be confusing... Probably Nexstar?

And as of this morning, Velshi has new graphics focused on the letter 'V' and the colors blue, green, and white.

ESPN is reportedly close to a deal with NFLN.

Doesn't WPIX use the Nexstar copyright endcap for their newscasts?

It would be nice if USA had more sports programming, but I don't think NBC will put nba games or Inside the NBA on USA. If they wanted more sports programming on USA, they would have put big 10 football and basketball on USA, as well as on NBC and peacock.

Mark my words, WKYT WILL be debuting this month.

But since the death of NBCSN, USA has become NBC Sports' secondary network, with CNBC becoming overflow when the latter already has sports programming going on. If they want to keep promoting other sports like Premier League and Track and Field than it would be wise to put it on USA. However, it would probably end up on Peacock since that's where they have their SNF post show right now.

Here is an interesting hypothetical (or it may not be in reality) in light of the FCC ruling on WPIX. One of their news vans struck a pedestrian adult and child this morning in NJ. Luckily both were not severely injured. If the victims decide to file a lawsuit, who would they sue? Nexstar or Mission (or both?). If Mission said not us, that could reinforce the FCC ruling. An interesting situation since this is not a duopoly with a Nexstar station in the market.

The article is behind a paywall, but the CW gets 10 games while Fox gets 3:

Given how badly the affiliation base has been degraded and continues to be degraded, Nexstar really needs to stop the Sam Zell-era double standard and impose the network branding on their biggest stations. That absolutely means KRON, KTLA and WGN. Like, come on. Make it so people know your network actually still exists. Because right now they don't.

If NBC is going to keep Inside the NBA, they're probably going to put the program on CNBC. Back when NBC had the NBA in the 90s, CNBC was used for pre and post game coverage. It might be easier for NBC to use CNBC for this than USA Network. It would not interrupt schedule programming already on USA network. CNBC doesn't have programming that gets more audience than USA with reruns of law and order svu, ncsi, , chicago fire, & etc.

Nexstar foolishly boasting about wanting to use KUSI as a CW-owned station three years ahead of the fact all but ensured Tegna mass disaffiliates from the network when their contract ends in 2026.

I'm curious if there are any stations that require most significant upgrades to get GrayOne. For example, there are no ex-Hoak stations currently on GrayOne. (BTW this is GoldenShine9 but it was linked to an old email I no longer have so had to restart with the move).

That's where those pointless world feed highlight shows go to die, nobody would agree to that. Best place would be USA NBC-wise.

NBC could put the show on Peacock.

If Amazon grabs a part of the rights, I could see them just absorbing Inside. They're the only ones that, I think, would give them the time and space to really do what they do. NBC would have time constraints with the news and such.

Was just thinking about what becomes of “Inside the NBA” if Turner loses rights. I don’t see it being the same great show it is on NBC or ESPN (where they’d easily work them to death as Chuck has joked).

i think this belongs here GM:QUICK STICK THE CBS LOGO IN IT PD:are you sure? GM:YES THEY WONT NOTICE
