I think as long as it makes money CBS will be happy. Sounds like they may have a solid financial footing. The stars will likely not be commanding the same amount of money as “The Talk”. Nor the more establish soaps.

Do it right, or don't do it at all.

I wonder if Scripps finds a buyer for Bounce if Bounce will be leaving their subchannels for good or if they will keep it. WXMI Fox17 has Bounce on DT3 wish they kept Court TV on DT3 put Bounce on WZPX DT's in my opinion. Bounce was on Wood TV DT2 from 2013 to 2021 as LIN TV, Media General, & Nexstar aired the Scripps diginets before they bought Fox17 in the Nexstar & Tribune merger in 2019.

I highly doubt that happens as the stations only have 4 options to choose from; Blue/Red (KQWC), Blue/Yellow (WVLT), Blue/White (WAVE), Red/White/Black (WWBT). That said, I can see WYMT going Blue/Yellow or Blue/White

I find this thread to be so interesting, because I enjoy reading the conversation about GrayONE. When WVLT unveiled the new GrayONE graphics about a month ago on April 1st, April Fools Day of all days, it became a wonderful improvement from the previous Gray graphics from over the years. And when I saw the opening of the noon news on that day, it made me so happy. I feel that WVLT and KWQC are two stations that are my favorite uses of GrayONE. And, it will be interesting to see how WYMT, WKYT, WSMV and other Gray-owned stations will do with GrayONE.

In the scheme of things, losing a heritage brand to a corporate one these days is just another letdown of what local TV has become. And Scripps' rollout of stripped-down playlists of packages masquerading as newscasts take even more out of it. I dont know what Scripps has up their sleeve for their soon-to-be independents, but from what they've been putting out, it's a far cry from ever being able to be a dominant player in TV.

Im all for Bill adding his opinion.

Speculation: Sam wants his GMA gig back, but Ginger is there, so he can't. Two male anchors plus the lead anchor and meteorologist in on a weekend! interesting.

You expect a show to be a go for the next season for other station groups if the largest station group renews and gets the ball rolling, so don't expect many turn-downs for renewals with Sherri at all.

Interesting that Nexstar claims that Mission Broadcasting is somehow an independent entity when the CEO of Nexstar's son was hired as a sports reporter!
