It was a matter of time before this happened and honestly surprised it took Hearst as long as it did to do this. Any competing against yourself at the same time newscast (with the possible exception of a duopoly producing separate english and spanish language newscasts) is living on borrowed time with current revenue and viewership across the industry. As for WBBH and WZVN, there is some history of simulcasting morning news: they briefly dropped the ABC morning news and simulcast NBC at the worst of the great recession in 2008-2009.

My longshot pick is NBCU getting together with Universal Music

This should go to the court, Disney should party for their right to fight.

Agreed it looks cheap and ugly. I was interested in the concept at first but now, not so much. Hopefully WCBS doesn't expand their's outside of weather. I'm surprised CBS hasn't tried VR as the main CBS Evening News set to be "innovative".

Please, I'm already worried the Ellisons might start eying Versant after they finish absorbing WBD and destroying CNN.

You know what's going to happen in about 1 year before Trump leaves or is removed from office, right? The FCC is going to approve the acquisition of NBCUniversal by ParamountWarnerBrothersDiscoverySkydance. Functionally, Carr doesn't give a shit if CBS and NBC are owned by one company, especially because it will take Fallon and Meyers off the air and put Bari over NBCNews too. Why have any independent local media at all?
