NBC News Daily replaced Days, because Days was doing very well on streaming, to the point that since the move, the last couple seasons have charted viewing minutes in the billions and often one of Peacock's top shows. Streaming is the natural home of soap operas, considering how frequently they used to be recorded on VHS/DVR for later viewing. It made sense to move it streaming-only and free up the linear time for even lower-cost programming. Basically, Days is a draw for Peacock, so I doubt they will be reversing that anytime soon. I could see NBC just expanding NBC News Now programming and making that available to local stations. MSNBC's departure from 30 Rock has left them with several studios and control rooms sitting idle, so the resources are there to just come up with some podcast-format show that they can produce for cheap.

It’s Oscar Sunday and ABC 7 rolled out a big promo at 12:45pm today during Oscars coverage featuring the stability of the talent, breaking news, weather, and traffic coverage on Eyewitness News Mornings, 7 DAYS A WEEK, and of course, AIR7. Wendy Granato has really been making her mark with ordering these promos, hiring good talent and showing off what makes ABC 7 so trusted over the last couple of years since Cheryl Fair’s retirement because I don’t think the station has done this much promos since the 2000s from what I remember. KTLA can’t even match this level of stability on their morning news anymore with all the Nexstar layoff drama going on there.

I really wonder what's going to happen to the CW, MyNet and independent stations, since the trash talk was a staple.
