Fell right back to their normal 3rd place levels. Gained zero momentum from the town hall.

Welp, congrats on killing your advantage of low barrier of entry.

This week, Chris Licht will show his programming genius by running the town hall every night in Primetime with Kaitlyn Collins and Anderson Cooper is a box in the corner shaking their heads at anyone who doesn't like it! Also, new CNN slogan: "Get Lichted"

Wonder if the fact Trump walked all over her in the Town Hall will give anyone second thoughts. Then again, she got her start at the Daily Caller, so maybe she had no intention of putting up much of a fight.

A rebrand from the CW, IMO, is a matter of when, not if.

Clearly positioning for potential local sports opportunities as RSNs fail, and also I wonder if we could see some simulcasts of CBS Sports HQ or CBS News Streaming? Even better question - are there options for the CW in those markets?

The 69.2 Weather Channel even got a refresh. Looks good.

As I said in the Lemon thread, Bill Shine is shaking the NewsNation couch cushions to find change to pair up Tucker and Don for Hannity and Colmes 2.0.

Someone mentioned replacing Don and my thought is: why? Let CNN This Morning roll with the two anchors they have and see if something’s there. It’s not like you’re putting ratings at risk with that show at the moment.

Bill Shine is shaking the NewsNation couch cushions for change to pair up Tucker and Don and redo Hannity and Colmes.

Wonder if they got a C&D by this Weather Command: https://www.weathercommand.com/

If you had just the 11 in the box, that would be a pretty good interim news logo, IMO. The two eyes are overkill.

Try this: https://12ft.io/proxy?&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.houstonchronicle.com%2Ftexas-sports-nation%2Fgeneral%2Farticle%2Fastros-rockets-att-sportsnet-southwest-purchase-17838568.php

That's a big ol' bug for WAFB.

WE. GET. IT. Geez, you’re getting annoying with this.

The full-screen touchdown/Real Profile Pic of the players still looks out of place, though the execution is better than previous, IMO. Overall, not bad for a refresh.

All comic book player illustrations replaced with pictures generated from AI in real time.

So call letters are meaningless, except in this instance where they are the stronger brand, but then maybe they’ll eventually drop the stronger brand anyway because that makes sense.

Just saw a promo for "Weather Command" where one of the claims is they might even "debate the data". Oh boy, wonder what THAT could mean. /s

So, are we starting a new betting pool on when the schedule will change again?

They put up a SIGN too for this "win"? From everyone's favorite site:

From the article: No shocker here - Nexstar gonna run it cheap. Probably already looking for sports willing to buy their airtime for weekend programming.

This is probably more likely that the return of network branding. I do wonder if Nexstar will continue the old CW Plus feed/service - if that still exists.

I'd be shocked if anything NewsNation ended up on the CW. Maybe a NN-branded magazine show for the weekend, at most.

Honestly, why? The CW for those operators is likely on a secondary channel or HD subchannel and probably runs on automatic. Why blow that up over 14 hours of programming a week?
