Somehow Dr Phil is gonna try again and is launching a new media channel, Envoy Media

Norah O’Donnell filled in for Jane on today’s episode, I believe her first major non-60 Minutes appearance since leaving the evening news

Most Nick shows are also carried by YTV, so I don’t think much will change ultimately

Eva Pilgrim leaving ABC News to become the new anchor of Inside Edition

Paley, Murrow, Cronkite, Hewitt, Wallace, Bradley all surely rolling in their graves…

I know a streaming deal has been discussed/in the works for over a year now, but anyone else think selling to Hulu and Peacock is a somewhat deliberate F-U to CBS on Sony’s part as their legal drama continues?

NBCU will continue to handle ad sales for Versant

I’d fully expect Tegna to grab them for KARE and WFAA if that’s the case; Boston could literally be anyone (though I think it’ll end up being WHDH or WFXT)

With the 9pm evening start, I wonder if they’re hedging on being contractually able to run Jeopardy! and Wheel at 8pm…

I think it’s gonna be almost all simulcasts

It will be interesting to see what ABC ends up doing; WSFL? A subchannel on one of the existing stations? Perhaps do they avoid the broadcast game entirely and launch an entirely streaming Miami station? We shall see… …and we have an answer! WSVN will become the new home for ABC

Brewers will have 10 games air on WITI (as well as several other stations in WI) this year

TheGrio still seems to be running on cable, at least on my Spectrum service in Milwaukee

MSNBC to keep its name post-spinoff

The Rachel Maddow Show going back to 5 nights a week during the first 100 days of the Trump administration, with Alex Wagner on special assignment nationwide observing the impacts of the new administration for a series of reports and specials; Alex Wagner Tonight will return in May

I wonder if the long-rumored Amy Robach show replaces this

Despite reports of frayed relations amid the recent Trump settlement, George Stephanopoulos staying put at ABC News and GMA

She and Victor Blackwell were a really good pairing in the afternoons but that was ultimately short-lived once they switched to CNN News Central

A second half hour of the CBS Evening News, CBS Evening News Plus anchored by John Dickerson, will stream online and air on the CBS O&Os in LA, San Francisco, Sacramento and Miami, concurrent with the CBSEN relaunch on 1/27

It sounds like it was for the most part his decision, though he’ll still pop up on WSB as a contributor

Norah handling the inauguration before bowing out is classy on CBS’s part

After 24 years on the morning shift, Kim Murphy is moving to evenings at WITI, taking over for the recently exited Stephanie Grady
