Did WPIX pick up the Yankee games? On their website about page says “In addition, PIX11 is the first New York over-the-air station to carry both the Mets and Yankees at the same time in their history. PIX11 has been the broadcast home of the New York Mets since 1999, and broadcast home of the Yankees since 2015.”

This only my opinion based on what I saw when she. On PIX - she seemed uncomfortable with the small talk banter with the others - not that she had a problem with the others she work with - Betty is a accomplished journalist and this type of fluff talk was going to hurt her credibility that she earned - nobody at fault, just a bad fit for all involved

I Don’t think this news - why would they use the traffic set from a year ago?

The facts are these: tv stations want more retransmission fees and cable is losing subscribers. Cable needs some help in ririberjustifying paying higher rate and stop the subscriber bleeding. In any case cable will be screwed in the couple of years with the advancements of ATSC3.0 - OTA broadcaster will be easier to receive and Tv will be able offer internet service, cell phone and other data products, even on demand, localized advertisements .so the cable sees the future and it is not good. Cable will go away like landline telephones

The main studio for both WPIX and NewsNation has been under construction since last June, so maybe it will finished by April - currently Abrams and Cuomo are done in the WPIX auxiliary studio

I really would like to see minor league baseball or baseball from other countries - watch these young hungry players develope into major leaguers - and there would be a way to make profitable - sports betting on who would make it to the majors - also I would make the games regional and maybe year round

How about minor league baseball?

What I don’t understand is that they keep boasting that they have the news resources of all their station. Here in NYC, PIX broke in with a bulletin, why not show that? In fact to make it look like a NN bulletin, put the reader in front of a green screen with a NN background for the national, and a local branding for the station

Nexstar is also doing a major deconstruction/construction of the WPIX studios for local and NN programs - probably would have the same high tech video walls as NN Chicago

I really do believe that Nexstar will eventually build back WPIX. WPIX really got screwed by there former owners and management. Is it going to happen overnight, no, but at least give Nexstar a chance and stop bringing up the bad decisions made by non-Nexstar management years ago.

The 6 and 10pm should take a harder approach with no jovial news anchors. Bring back the likes of Bill Jorgensen, Jim Watkins, Pat Harper) and used the seasoned reporters only that they have (Murphy, Harry, Ford, Rothschild) and have a news set that does not look like every other news show - have an evening news set that says ‘we mean business no fooling around’

Maybe not a demotion, but maybe a weekend anchor for NN He was on ABC overnight before the evening gig on PIX

I am not sure where this comment belongs in what group, but every thing I see everywhere is speculation on how the TV industry is as of today. Has anyone heard of Nextgen TV (ATSC 3.0)? Yes it will not happen in a few years, but when it does, OTA tv channels will have capabilities multiple ways of delivering programming content as well as services provided by cable and cell phone companies. All this service provided over the air, no cable. Eventually all devices today (TV, Radios, Cell Phones or anything else that uses a transmitted signal) will use this new technology? So I would suggest to everyone that the current decisions made these corporations make is not based on current technology but lies ahead for TV. OTA TV is not dead, it is the future. I hope the moderator of this website would start a thread on this topic.

Are NewsNation staffer kidding? They are trying to get more viewers, more viewers, more money. Bandied group shouldn’t complain, they had their chance to improve, an as followup from Cuomo, their ratings could improve. Stand united.

IAs a fan, I would love to see minor league baseball - have the cw have a minor league agreement and have local station televise the local mlb farm team - more money for mlb, kids that play hard, and put the fun back in baseball - I love baseball, but I even find it sometimes to be too routine - no enthusiasm
