I like it. The "Covering Hillsborough County" graphic reminds me of Hearst stations, so it must be the same font. That said, the audio in the video clip makes it sound like the music is rather....lethargic?

The popularity of franchises is a big part of why CBS has so many law-enforcement-related (or what some people call "copaganda") shows. You may be right on there not being many comedies on the network; in fact, I only count four for this coming season (Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage, Ghosts; The Neighborhood, and the premieres-this-fall DMV). The problem there is that there are only so many hours in CBS's primetime schedule, and with most of that time taken up by the aforementioned dramas and reality shows, something's getting short-changed. The easiest solution would be for CBS to reclaim Saturday nights for something other than reruns and episodes of 48 Hours...but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Comedy Central's schedule consists of The Daily Show (when there's a new episode), South Park, and reruns of sitcoms you can watch in multiple other places. Meanwhile, MTV has multiple channels that are barely watched, such as MTVU, which is apparently both alive and defunct. They may as well call that one Schrodinger's MTV.

FYI, only the second video is viewable here in the US; the others all just show this:

Actually, I can see affiliates demanding that CBS put something in the time slot rather than just let them have it back. Considering the time slot and that all episodes will be at least eleven years old, CBS should give affiliates the option to opt-out of airing the show if they'd rather run something else.

So, she's outside now?

From Wikipedia's page about Skydance: What other chaos? It's mostly been Trump, his pet FCC commissioner Carr, and, before them, Shari Redstone that have caused any chaos.

Spectrum is pretty solid for me in CT, as well.

Or other companies.

"FAKE SUDS!"

I look forward to the power company changing its name to....SpinCo.

Nine?!? There are basic cable networks with less original programming than that. Heck, how do they even decide which show gets a particular case?

This one being two hours on Mondays makes me think MSNBC should do something similar for Maddow's show when she returns to Monday-only and let her have two hours as well. Lawrence O'Donnell is undoubtedly eying retirement, so he might be happy to cut back to four nights.

Yeesh. I made more than the high end of that at my last job, and I didn't have to appear on-camera.

"Dad, what's a gray sport?"

Doesn't Gray have Raycom Sports, though?

The smartest thing Apollo could do right now is split the TV and radio stations into two separate companies. They'd have a better chance of selling both if they did that.

I recommend that this thread be re-titled, moved to the Speculatron, or merged into the Nexstar thread. (Also, I noticed that the original poster is brand-new, so maybe one of the moderators should send them a private message explaining what happened to their post and why.)

Oh, now I'm curious. Which channel?

I just downloaded the app to my iPad to check it, but WRAZ isn't listed as an option. Maybe it was added by mistake?

I would see it as an opportunity to do a show about NCIS's Army or Air Force counterpart. Why should the Navy CIS get all the shows? Personally, though, I've been waiting for CSI: Podunk. "Solving crimes...in the middle of nowhere!"

What does ABC News Live run during the hours that WNN is available? Because what CBS needs is more cop shows.

Oh, how I wish channels here would do that. I could watch British idents for hours. Bingo.

Because crime sells. (See also: "If it bleeds, it leads.")

I grew up during that era, so I watched a number of syndicated shows (mostly sci-fi and fantasy), though little of it regularly as there usually wasn't a TV available in the house when I wanted one. The thing that always annoyed about syndicated programming was that it'd end up in weird time slots such as late at night or weekend afternoons. Even the most of indie stations would do that, saving the 8-11pm hours for movies. I remember being down in Florida one summer and discovering that one station was showing either Hercules or Xena during primetime hours on a Tuesday night.
