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

If I’m at Scripps, Sinclair and Gray, I’m taking a good look at exercising whatever sale-related clauses exist in my CW affiliate contracts.
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?

The demographic focus of the CW will also change over time, Carter said. Historically, shows like Riverdale, All American, Arrow and Supernatural have focused on viewers in their teens through their 30s. The reality, though, is that the average CW viewer is 58 years old, and Carter said that schism explains why the CW is the lowest-rated broadcast network.
He projected “lower unscripted costs,” without elaborating, and said more syndicated shows would likely be added. The CW has recently been programming 13 hours across six nights in primetime. As the Nexstar deal loomed last May, the company told advertisers at its New York City upfront presentation that it was renewing all current shows but not adding any new ones to the mix.
Sounds like it will end up a combination of MyNetworkTV and Dabl - cheap DIY shows and Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives ripoffs and the like, with some syndicated deals in the mix (hey, maybe they convince the rightsholders to move In The Heat of the Night and Blue Bloods here
). Maybe some small sports league will pony up some cash to buy time for games to be broadcast.
Especially considering the content deal with Paramount and WBD is only for 2022-23 (though could be extended), I'm not expecting much from the new CW.

@Spring Rubberand I are both huge watchers of FOX Weather ever since this channel came out.
Yes, I have noticed this as well. Is this the start of live 24/7 weather? I don't think so but the changes are really noticeable.
For now, the program guide on The Roku Channel still says the program names and the times it airs.
That or a way to repeat hours more easily.
Fox Weather sure seems very much in the experimental stage.

The "ratings" might not be as good, but if they're now paying $4,000 an hour to program NewsNation Prime where they were previously paying $8,000 for an hour of Law and Order: Parking Enforcement Unit, they are coming out ahead.
Well, if barely anyone is going to watch it, might as well not pay as much to program it, I guess.

187,000 total viewers for The Chris Cuomo Interview. 14,000 in the 25-54 demo.
-
If I was NewsNation, I would be hitting the NYC area hard in hopes there's enough people who might be interested. After all, he is a Cuomo.
I can't for the life of me think of who those people are, but....

so how would this work if it’s breaking news?
That's easy, it'll never have breaking news. It's not live.

This will be chasing the lawyer and political money - hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up with a segment sponsored by a sports book since that money was still flying around for a bit.
This isn’t for ratings, it’s for revenue - and it’s a whole hour they control the ad slots. If it gets some eyeballs, great, but that’s lagniappe.
And it also gives them “unique” content for the local CBS News steaming stations, which explains the branding.

First episode and they already got a lawyer sponsorship? I think that should answer why CBS is doing this. Also gives something they can run on the CBSN locals that's not just a repeat of the local news.

It’s the CBS News Streaming graphics, only in blue. It’s likely changing whenever the new O&O look debuts this fall.I’d wager a guess that since the Now casts graphics are CBSN-based, the new O&O graphics will probably look like them too.

To parapharse Bo Schembechler: "A Michigan [person] is going to anchor a Michigan station.," as WKBD/WWJ hires its new 3 Michigan natives for the newscast. The hires are Shaina Humphries (news; Chicago native), Rachelle Graham (news), Ahmad Bajjey (weather), and Amyre Makupson [the junior] (Executive Producer of Community Impact).
Gotta love the completely wrong CBS News Detroit logo in the press release:

And I'm getting tired of people beating a dead horse here.
I know a lot of you don't think NN will succeed (and I understand that), but the more it gets talked about not succeeding; it gets pretty boring.
And part of the reason why stuff like In The Heat Of The Night are still airing is because they're trying to burn off the syndication rights; and a lot of the breaking news stuff that happens, they're trying to rely on the website, YouTube, or Nexstar's affiliates for it because of the shows like In The Heat Of The Night.
Website had one story posted during the event, don't think YT ever had anything, what Nexstar's affiliates were doing at the time has no bearing on this conversation (except that NN had WGN right there) and it's not like they haven't pre-empted the midday syndication before to break in.
There's literally zero reason for NewsNation to have stuck with reruns outside of they weren't staffed for the holiday to do this, which again makes no sense. Whomever was working WGN that day should've had the ability to go live on NN with the coverage.
If you're getting annoyed with the conversation around NewsNation, be upset at them or block this thread so you don't see it.

Changing my IP around via Surfshark, I found WeatherNation versions for New York, Boston, Atlanta and Chicago on PlutoTV, so this is definitely a thing.
-
The app just has the same maps/forecasts/etc. as you would see on their website or other similar smart TV apps (except for whatever happened to the Apple TV TWC app, which is worthless these days).
Here's a good breakdown of the "new" Weather Channel TV App, which appears to just be their previous TV Everywhere-enabled app (for anything except, again, Apple TV) with the ability to pay directly for access to their TV stream:
-
Yes, this new service is basically making the TV stream available for purchase to those who don't have access through their current provider.

I'm surprised that Nexstar doesn't add News Nation morning show on CW's & MyNet TV stations they own 3-hour block I looked at WXSP it is pretty much paid programming from 6AM to 9AM other Andy's Gospel Truth at 7:30AM. I have always been surprised that Nexstar has never wanted to complete with Fox17 morning news from 7AM to 9AM.
Why would they take off paid programming? That’s probably one of big ways those secondary stations make any money.

That’s using the same setup as Pattrn’s (the OTT version) national forecast, which predates Fox Weather.

On the tweets from the conexiontconeltiempo twitter account, they have a watermark counting down to 5/2 for TWCE so that seems to confirm the date.
-
TWC en Español could be a Local Now thing, or maybe the new deal on YTTV will include the service and they just haven’t announced yet.
On another front, I wonder if the quick shutoff of CNN+ impacts the plan for TWC+ - wasn’t it supposed to have launched by now?

More distribution for Fox Weather: Amazon News, FuboTV, The Roku Channel and more.
Is this simulcast info new (bolded)?
QuoteFor those of you with over-the-air antennas, FOX Weather will now be accessible across FTS’ Diginet multicast channels in New York, Seattle, and San Francisco, with plans to expand to the station group’s remaining 14 markets. The streaming service will also simulcast one hour per weekday and two hours on weekends on FTS’s 11 duopoly stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Dallas, San Francisco, Houston, Seattle, Phoenix, Minneapolis, and Orlando.

WVUE just posted a breaking news story and used an updated Gray Graphics as the image on their website. It's an AP story, so perhaps it was added by another Gray location (such as WAFB), but is that indicative of a graphics package change for 4pm?
https://www.fox8live.com/2022/01/25/man-accused-stabbing-k-9-sought-after-fathers-body-found/
Probably posted by Grey’s digital hub and likely not a sign of anything.
ETA: They’re in breaking coverage right now for Sean Payton leaving and using the Raycom graphics.

I'd argue the look of CBS News (streaming) is a better implementation than what's on network, outside of some minor nitpicks - IMO, the logo bug is too big, the little programming indicator is too small. I think if they adjusted it so that the programming indicator was within the box, it would help, and they could go back to what they have now when the programming isn't live.

Nexstar Acquires 75% of The CW
in General TV

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.
