If y'all think one of Byron Allen's shows airing for short time on one broadcast network is either a cause for alarm or a giant joke (or both LBH), then you'll get a big kick out of Allen himself showing interest in buying another broadcast network-- ABC (along with FX and National Geographic). https://tvline.com/news/abc-byron-allen-sale-talks-fx-national-geographic-disney-1235043961/

Meteorologist Rob Marciano is leaving GMA Weekend. He'll still work for ABC, and will be succeeded by Somara Theodore. https://tvline.com/news/rob-marciano-leaving-good-morning-america-weekend-edition-meteriologist-1235042885/

Byron Allen's Comics Unleashed is expanding from CBS local (and the rest of first-run syndication) to CBS proper for a limited time only, starting September 18. https://deadline.com/2023/09/comics-unleashed-with-byron-allen-cbs-late-night-1235543726/

Chuck Todd officially bid farewell from Meet the Press at the end of this week's edition, and made great mention of his successor Kristen Welker, saying she'll approach the Moderator role "as a reporter". https://deadline.com/2023/09/chuck-todd-meet-the-press-sign-off-1235542336/

That's interesting.

He had a great track record with the BBC & NYT from what I've read. I wish Mr. Thompson the best in reversing and improving CNN's fortunes. From what we've seen on- and off-air recently, they're gonna need all the goodwill they can get.

Whenever I was sick at home during my elementary and middle school years, The Price is Right was one of my favorite shows to watch. With his natural charisma, sharp wit, electric personality and almost-instant icon status, he was one of the reasons (if not the main reason) I watched and why the show was (and still is) an enduring hit of American television and touchstone of American popular culture. He (like Betty White) at 99 lived a long, beautiful life that will forever live on through his incredible career, the show and both of their enduring legacies. Condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.

CNN will have a bigger presence on Max with a 24/7 live stream of the US and International channels (excluding some programs) and new programming. CNN Max launches with an "open beta" on September 27. https://deadline.com/2023/08/cnn-max-streaming-news-warner-bros-discovery-1235526959/

Premiere date for People Puzzler: September 11. https://deadline.com/2023/08/leah-remini-people-puzzler-syndicated-game-show-fall-premiere-date-1235525036/

The Conners is finally coming to syndication. "Tom Werner’s Werner Entertainment, the production company behind ABC’s popular comedy series The Conners, has signed a global licensing deal with Lionsgate’s Worldwide Television Distribution Group and Debmar-Mercury to make past seasons of the sitcom available on streaming and in syndication." https://tvline.com/news/the-conners-how-to-watch-episodes-streaming-online-1235025344/

Sherri Shepherd's show's second season starts September 18.

I honestly thought - due to his previous work - that Licht would be a great fit for CNN, but I was wrong. Here's hoping the next leader will really improve the network. But at this point, it feels like a longshot.

Even though I don't watch golf, I did not see this coming... and I don't know how to feel about this.

https://deadline.com/2023/06/chuck-todd-meet-the-press-kristen-welker-1235404310/ Todd will depart in September and will be succeeded by Welker - Chief White House Correspondent, co-anchor of Saturday Today and his MTP Now co-host.

The other news orgs have merch around their shows too. https://www.nbcstore.com/pages/nbc-news https://www.cbsstore.com/collections/cbs-news https://shopabctv.com/collections/good-morning-america

Do you? Do you? You don't seem to prove this. I'm not being neutral about this. So why are you hitting back at just me? I never called for anyone to be fired in this situation (or even never heard of Camile Edwards before), or said literally anything about this topic until earlier today. This long post equates to almost nothing to me. You have your right to defend them and I (and all else who did) have the right to criticize them. Don't like it? Too bad. So is this not ostracizing??

That is caca, and you know it. And I won't even wanna ask for proof too.

If these are the new graphics, then they are not great. If this is an update, it's not bad; it's alright.

What a development. I'm totally excited and so looking forward to what's to come here. It's gonna be quite a summer, fall and beyond to behold.

CNN's airing of Who's Talking to Chris Wallace? is moving to Fridays at 10pm for its third season, starting April 28th. It previously aired on Sundays at 7pm.

Agreed. John deserves back in the evenings. The moves the higher-ups made for (read: in spite of) him in recent years were an utter travesty.

Good. Finally! And after so long too. Shirley is a (near-)perfect, talented and well-deserved replacement, and I find her rapport with Kori professional yet refreshing and enjoyable. I wish her a tenure in the evenings as long as (if not longer than) Tamsen.

Wow, that Eagles green looks great; way better than it has any right to be. Certainly blows Black-and-Gold out of the water for personalized GFXs colors in my eyes.

Yeah.
