Wait....what?

Or just breakfast mode. Someone there must really like morning news.
-
I'm honestly surprised Sinclair hasn't started selling stations. That seems like a sure-fire way to recoup some losses.
-
You consider retransmission disputes to be entirely the providers' (read: cable companies, Hulu, Fubo, etc.) fault?
-
An hour of true-crime investigation programming every night? Hard pass. In fact, I doubt affiliates would like it, either.
-
Maybe it's for a new TLC show: Little People, Big Video Wall.
-
And not conflict talkers (Jerry Springer, Maury Povich, et al) and court shows, either. I'd rather have all-day news than those.

"NewsNation Billings".... "NewsNation Elmira".... "NewsNation Escanaba"... "NewsNation Podunk".... I can see their competitors having a field day. "Would you trust news for Escanaba that's coming from CHIGAGO?"

I for one am looking forward to the great culling of cable channels. It's long overdue. The multiplexes should be among the first to go, of course -- all the extra HBOs, Showtimes, MTVs, Nicks, VH1s, etc. It's 2023; who needs eight flavors of HBO (plus their west coast feeds) when you have HBO Max? But the absolute first channels that need to go? Music Choice and its ilk.

I can't wait to see how they re-brand The Movie Channel. "Paramount+ with Showtime and The Movie Channel"? This just feels like Paramount is either raising the white flag of surrender and acknowledging HBO's superiority in the premium cable space...or doing the equivalent of saying, "Hey! No one messes with my son Shoey! He's a PARAMOUNT!"
-
They could brand it as "MyBall".
-
What, is the NBC logo missing from the station's website?
-
Someone want to rename this thread? The current title isn't really appropriate anymore. I'm thinking "Disney's A Tale of Two Bobs" would work...
-
For the record, that's eight stations -- all in fairly large markets (the smallest is Pittsburgh). Of course, it'll be interesting to see which other station groups follow CBS's lead here.
-
Said report is paywalled...and I have no interest in becoming a FTVLive patron. THANK YOU. It's a relief to see I'm not the only one confused here.

[Replying to a few replies to my comment on the CBS News Detroit thread...] I know that, but the logic in the specific post I was replying to -- your logic -- didn't say anything about CBS owning a station in Atlanta, so I didn't take that into consideration. I think I missed the part about the CW being dropped from WUPA. Has that been confirmed and/or announced? And.... how has this thread not been shoved over to the Speculatron?

By that logic, WFSB in Hartford (also a Gray station acquired from Meredith) is going to drop CBS, too -- its website is also missing the network's logo.

WCVB and, to a lesser extent, WMTW and WPTZ/WNNE. Basically, it's the curse of a large chunk of New Hampshire being in Boston's shadow. If there was just a little more distance between Manchester and Boston -- say, ten or twenty miles -- things might be different. WNNE would still be an NBC affiliate, WNHT would still exist as a CBS affiliate, and WMUR would have the standard Hearst graphics package.

Considering that Nexstar owns the CBS (WKBN) and Fox (WYFX-LD) affiliates and operates the ABC affiliate (WYTV), they're going to want to find a different buyer.

That could also be the first documentary, series or otherwise, to air on the CW.
