WPIX's reach alone is probably about 6 percent. That's bigger than a lot of the smaller groups total reach. And it's full value since they're on VHF.

The SEC on ABC will use a revamped version of the early 2000s ESPN College Football theme. Turns out that new scorebug, graphics and music are exclusive to the SEC; all other coverage will continue using the existing 2020 graphics and music.

Here's how Houston's syndicated offerings will look like starting September 9: KPRC (NBC): Other than the station recently picking up "The Drew Barrymore Show" at 10am in the daytime and 2am in the overnight, no further changes. KHOU (CBS): "Dateline" replaces "Daily Blast Live" at 3pm, with more paid programming replacing one of DBL's half-hour repeats following "After Midnight". KTRK (ABC): No changes KTXH (MNTV): This is where "GMFB: Overtime" will be airing on, at 11am in the midday hours. "48 Hours" moves up an hour later, at 12pm. "Mathis Court" is added to the station's court show block, at 3pm, followed by "True Crime News" at 3:30pm. Channel 20's game show block gets even larger with the station picking up "Person, Place or Thing" in between two airings of "People Puzzler", followed by "25 Words or Less" at 5:30pm, "Pictionary" at 6pm, and the new game show "Flip Side" at 6:30pm. As compensation, the airings of Steve Harvey's "Family Feud" are cut down to 2 hours, from 7-9pm. Strangely, "Dateline" remains on 20, even with Channel 11 picking it up as well, moving to 9pm. "Extra", "Dish Nation", "TMZ", and "Access Hollywood" will make up the station's night-time newsmagazine block from 10pm-12am. More runs of 25WOL and "Divorce Court" replace the Fox Soul show "Portia" at 2am and 2:30am respectively, while a repeat of "True Crime News" will air at 3am, replacing "People Puzzler". KRIV (Fox): A new local talk show entitled "Chattin' with Chelsea", hosted by Chelsea Edwards, has already debuted on Fox 26, replacing "Extra" in the 12:30pm timeslot. The Xploration E/I shows start airing at 1pm on September 9, although I'm not sure if this move is permanent or temporary. A political debate show called "Battleground" has been airing after the station's 6pm news as of this writing, I'll give you information on what will replace it once the election passes by. In the 12am timeslot is a "Chattin' with Chelsea" rerun and "Fox Soul Faceoff", while a rerun of "The Jennifer Hudson Show" has already moved up to 1am as of this writing, and "Family Feud" and "Person, Place or Thing" make up the 2am overnight timeslot. KIAH (The CW): Other than the station moving their daytime talk show block 2 hours earlier (which I already mentioned in this thread), there are many other changes. "The People's Court" reruns move to 1pm, followed by a double-run of "Hot Bench" at 2pm and a double-run of "Judy Justice" at 3pm. "Bob Hearts Abishola" will air at 5pm in the station's late-afternoon sitcom block, alongside "The Neighborhood", "Young Sheldon", and "The Big Bang Theory". "Modern Family", which had aired on both of the Fox-owned stations in the Space City ever since the show was first sold to local syndication in 2013, moves to 39, airing a double-run at 11:00pm. "The Connors" replaces one of "The Goldbergs" reruns at 2:30am, followed by another run of "Young Sheldon" at 3am and "Friends" at 3:30am.

I wonder if NBC will hang onto the NBC Sports Chicago office(s)/studio? They greatly reduced their leased space at the NBC Tower by more than half, but it would be a shame if that awesome NBC Sports Chicago set ends up in the trash heap.

So what's the likely technical reason why this would happened? Could this be a flashcam studio that's shared by multiple networks, and the crew is responsible with changing the background between live hits? Or could this be a setup in Vance's home / hotel room where he himself would have been responsible for changing the background between live hits?
