They only play each other once. The rest are for their remaining home games against other teams. They are not eligible for their championship game.

Kim Godwin is out as ABC News head.

In reality, this wisp of a conference has a scheduling alliance with the Mountain West and will be eligible for their championship game. (Just making sure everybody's on the same page as to the actual contents of this TV package.)

You would have thought they would've wound it down like Legacy did when Gray was able to end the charade with them and after the Tegcoxpollo deal died, but I guess someone needs to keep WLNE off life support until Sinclair finagles the ABC affiliation onto a WJAR sub; might as well be them. And they've had more deals die than actually go through. And again, Chicago has another pointless sports channel move like when Fox wound down FSN Chicago, and with no full guarantee of carriage like NBCSN offered via Comcast, two teams in terminal struggle with an owner headed the same way, and the Sox threatening to move down 65 to Music City (just don't talk to me about the actual team). It's no wonder Chicago remains a strong sports radio town with all these changes.

Well my station wftx got the scripps treatment fired alot of anchors and has a lawsuit on them etc. And hired and fired the subsequent successor news team and in this new style newcast all you see is the "community correspondent" reports don't even see the anchors anymore

Is Tony Guinyard leaving the station? I don't see her bio on the station website.

Standard? No pun intended, but that one came out of left field. You’d think Reinsdorf would just repurpose Stadium into the new RSN. I’m not sure how Standard is going to be able to run a regional sports net when it seems like they can barely run their local TV affiliates.

That's Michael's first of many terminations since March 2022 (pannoni10, which never came back). At this point, he may have to resort to Archive.

Michael has had so many accounts terminated for a long time now. Hopefully, he'll elaborate somewhere eventually.

Looks like Pannoni4 might be gone. I don't see it anymore on YouTube. That was Michael's oldest-running channel...like 8 or 9 years old.

I consider mike seidel to be staple of my childhood when I watched the weather channel for fun

Yeah, Jim is absolutely the only pre-1995 on-air talent who is protected from layoffs. Pretty much everyone else from that pre-1995 era has been laid off sometime during the NBC era or the Allen Media era from 2008-Present.

It stinks to see Mike go. He was so great all those years at TWC, and you'd think with how many years he was there, Byron would want to keep him. He was a very hard worker and had so many great moments on the air. I know he's 68, so I'm not sure what's next with him, but it's still awful. It'd only be worse if Jim Cantore was among the layoffs, but I don't see that ever happening.

The Pacific Northwest. Everywhere else, I don't know.

Launching a new RSN in 2024 - this can only go poorly

Who really wants to see Washington State and Oregon State play each other for 13 straight weeks? Geez.

That's true it's not exclusive. The latest Draft Kings commercial with Kevin Hart used the first 15 seconds of the theme.

As per The Athletic, three Chicago major league teams who presently call NBC Sports Chicago home will be moving on later this year. (The article is behind a pay wall.) "Standard Media Group in partnership with the Chicago Blackhawks, Chicago Bulls and Chicago White Sox will be the new television broadcast home for all three teams beginning in October, according to an internal document obtained by The Athletic. "The media group is expected to make the network, which is unnamed, available across 'multiple platforms,' including over-the-air and carriage agreements with cable and streaming providers. "NBC Sports Chicago is the current broadcast home for the Blackhawks, Bulls and White Sox. The teams’ contract with NBC Sports expires in October. "Standard Media Group, which is based in Nashville, Tenn., is a local broadcast and digital media company. According to its website, the group has television stations in Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska and Rhode Island. "The new network will not be associated with Stadium, a multi-platform network, which Bulls and White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf purchased majority control of in 2023."

In that case, also being in the #1 market on a station that warrants roughly 6 percent of national cap space (with NO UHF discount) puts a major target on Nexstar's back. The reach of a New York City station alone can roughly equal that of a small company (like Graham) with only a few stations or ones that serve smaller markets.

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).
