"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.

What makes you think it'd be Sinclair? Scripps, Hearst, and CBS are in Baltimore, too. -
That could also be the first documentary, series or otherwise, to air on the CW.
-
That's basically what I said, only going in the other direction.
-
This makes me wonder if the plan is for ID to take over HLN's channel space on most cable systems once the latter is fully shut down.
-
They may as well be a cable TV company. All they need is a 24-hour weather channel. "Yo, I heard you like cable systems, so I got you a cable system for your cable system."
-
My interpretation of the announcement is that the crime shows are being added to Investigation Discovery, likely allowing WBD to either flip HLN into something different or vacate the channel space altogether. (If it's the latter, I hope AMC Networks tries to get BBC World News in there.)
-
I was wondering when Licht was going to start making changes to HLN. Not sure what the point of simulcasting CNN This Morning is, though, especially since I suspect the two channels are side-by-side on most cable systems.

I thought I heard a shoe drop somewhere...

And everyone at KSAZ breathes a sigh of relief.
-
By virtue of being the largest media market, I would imagine.
-
Wasn't it already a revival?
-
I hope that doesn't result in Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy being canceled.
-
I wonder if Nexstar will change the network's name since it'll clearly be a very different beast from what it's been. Then again, we live in a world where BBC America mostly shows American movies and cop shows and the Travel Channel mostly shows shows about ghosts, so...
