He'd have to actually be convicted of a felony or lie outright to the FCC and get nailed for it. Then the FCC would start a long process to strip him of the license. That's pretty much it.

Not FanDuel's initial TV presence as there's already FanDuel TV (formerly TVG), a horse racing network interspersed with sports programming, particularly in the weekday morning hours.

It is basically that. New Yorkers have a lot of colloquialisms and have a relaxed way of referring to things sometimes, and one of those is referring to WABC as "Channel 7", especially for the older generations, they identify ABC 7 as "Channel 7" not sure how much longer people will continue to say "Channel 7" since these days we don't "tune" channels anymore everything is digital so perhaps in the near future, I wouldn't be suprised if they returned back to rebranding their newscast as "ABC 7" Eyewitness News especially since their online presence is now "ABC 7" NY. to me it makes more sense to identify as "ABC 7" again. There is an old thread over in the New York Forum here that discussed the branding switch when it happened in 2004 (20 years ago now, wow does the time fly). Most of us came to the consensus at the time that the switch was made because the average New Yorker identified Channel 7 with the newscast. I don't think they are mandated to say "Channel 7" ocassionally reporters say "ABC 7". Another thing that WABC and the other O&Os abandoned that KABC and KGO in the north retain is the iconic "Circle 7" Pins. Every KABC and KGO on-air staffer wears it, WABC and WLS had that standard for a while, especially in the early days but dropped it I guess in the early 90s. Personally I like them, and since WABC is the top in the nation, it would be a nice honorary symbol for them.

That would be the quickest way to drive the network(s) into the ground. Especially if the Barstool people are actually entrusted with games.

The irony here is that Fox has a 17.6% minority state in FanDuel

It's a relief that it isn't Barstool at the very least.

6ABC has updated the ticker. It operates like ESPN & CBS's. It's a scroll down, until the information is longer than the ticker box, where it crawls at that point.

I could care less about news branding, but maybe WABC in New York felt more like going back to tradition considering their history & decided against ABC network branding. Not the only ones in NYC doing it as WNBC does it opting for "News 4 New York", sister NBC O&O WRC in Washington, DC does the same with "News4". Also notice the websites for the 2 ABC flagships, you'd think abc7.com would be for their main flagship, but it actually goes to KABC in L.A. while it's abc7ny.com for NYC.

KABC has a different logo, wordmark, formal verbal news branding, and package color scheme. Even if the theme was 100% the same, they still wouldn't be a carbon copy of WABC.

I agree...if Turner loses the NBA, I could see a scenario where they'll loan Ernie Johnson to whomever (Amazon, or NBC or even ESPN) just for Inside the NBA (or whatever title they would use if the Association leaves Turner), I believe so long as Ernie wants to go that route. He's given years of service to Turner, so IMO he's the earned the right to his dictate his own terms. It's not unprecedented that sportscasters and analysts work for more than one entity concurrently...it's too many countless examples through the years. If they can find a way to keep Ernie, Shaq, Kenny, and Charles together, they will.

Bad news.
