I assume none as exclusives. You might see select, if not all games available on those platforms as simulcasts. 

maybe no conference match ups, but likely the non con cupcakes, like ESPN does with SEC+ games, which are also available on ESPN+, last year's Toledo-ND game was a Peacock exclusive

How does Lorne Michaels feel about more delays for SNL?

“Banished” is an interesting word, implying that putting a game on streaming is negative. On college game days last year, people at my university would clamor to find someone whose parents pay for cable, just so they can use their credentials to stream it. By putting it on a more affordable service, it’ll be accessible to a wider audience who can’t afford a $60 monthly bill. And in turn, gives the broadcasters some extra revenue 

the SEC allows ESPN to put one game per team on SEC+ each season, and those were the non con cupcakes last year

which games get banished to Peacock and Paramount+?

will ESPN find some FCS conference that has decided to play to fill Tuesday & Wednesday nights?

Just a thought, The University of Missouri owns KOMU should Nexstar be more interested in Central Missouri.

TV was far more watchable when we had three main networks. Cable has diluted talent to the point where practically everything everywhere sucks.

you think TV was better when when the networks programmed under the Least Objectionable Program strategy?

Does this mean KCTV's 7pm news is gone?

they probably expect Spectrum Sports KC to go away soon, and most of it's content has been reruns for the past few years, but why launch it during the slower time for sports in KC? why not wait until football season?

As hostile as Missouri's legislature is to education in general, I think they view the Mizzou journalism program with pride.

the fake news school is what they call it

They could always have a bake sale...if the budget gets cut.

Mizzou has already had budget cuts due to an enrollment clash that occurred after the 2015 protests, how much could they get for it?

Is there another school in America that owns a commercial network affiliated television station in America? I'd would also wonder whether Mizzou has contemplated selling KOMU whevever the budget scissors come a calling.

Isn't it self funding like the athletic programs?

They'd be better off getting The CW back.

that's still only 10 hours, maybe they could try a Bozo reboot or just dig out Bozo reruns?

what do they replace the Cubs with?

It’s not like folks magically reach 65 and turn on FOX... given that most of their current audience will be dead by 2038 and the younger generation skews way left of FOX I really think the whole concept is on borrowed time...

the younger generation, liberal or conservative, doesn't have any need for cable news with social media

And in 15-20 years when they drop dead....?

will the younger alt-right crowd replace them?

Ding the demo all you want. but that demo votes and spends a heck of a lot of money on all kinds of stuff.

but who will replace them after they die off, younger tech savy viewers don't really have any need for TV news, the younger alt right crowd doesn't even watch FNC

Last week I found myself watching CNN’s coverage of the Reagan assassination, the space shuttle Challenger disaster and Desert Storm coverage on YouTube. It was what real journalism was... and should be today. Just straight reporting. FOX, MSNBC and CNN today are not news operations anymore. They are opinion channels. It’s a shame. Good reporting about world events is much more riveting to watch than a Brady Bunch split screen with six talking heads blabbering on and on about what the weird haired man posted on twitter today.

Hopefully these “news” nets find their way back to reporting the news again... but I’m not gonna hold my breath for that.

people want news that fits their bias, one way or another

Ah yes, Fox is a big hit with the 54+ demo.

the demographic that grew up with "fake news"

KTVI Chief Meteorologist Dave Murray announced that he is going to retire in September. Glenn Zimmerman will take his place.

getting out before Sinclair makes him deny global warming

Was the Koplars even interested in being an ABC affiliate which was more high profile vs WB or being an Indy outlet?

they probably weren't interested since they had Cardinals and Blues games and WB didn't program 7 nights a week like ABC

So was ABC considering dumping KTVI before the 1995 switch? When it was announced in the 1990s just like the CBS affiliates jumping to find new homes. Did ABC consider KPLR at first in 1994, because I'm sure when ABC saw that this would happen and they could of bought KPLR like CBS did with Atlanta and Detroit.

the Koplars, who owned KPLR at the time, were never interested in selling until the late 90s when they sold it to Jamie Kellner, it also had the Cardinals and Blues that would have pre-empted a lot of ABC programming, KDNL had just formed a news department before it switched to ABC under a local company that $inclair later bought

I'd be curious to see if there are any ABC affiliates in the top 100 with fewer followers.

what about CBS, FOX, or NBC affiliates in the top 100 with fewer followers?

are there any ABC (or CBS, NBC, FOX) affiliates where the CW or MNTV affiliate ranks higher than them? $inclair claims KDNL is ranked 5th, below CW affiliate KPLR, it had the Cardinals and Blues games before most of them moved to cable, doesn't have any sports now

If it's like all the other ABC shows, very poorly. All ABC shows perform poorly in STL. KDNL is one of the worst performing affiliates in the country.

although the Roseanne reboot premiere did well in STL

KNLC got MeTV in February. I would not be shocked to read a ratings report and see that Carol Burnett & Friends reruns on that station cleaned Allman's clock (and ABC must seethe seeing their 9pm lead-in just plunge at 10:00:00 exactly every night). And with Weigel having good relations by maintaining WBND in South Bend, ABC affiliating with KNLC (and a move of Me to DT3 with a state-of-the-art multiplexer) is a possibility too; despite Weigel's many issues, they have built out from scratch no-wave news departments before, and they'd do it again in St. Louis in a heartbeat.

how does KImmel do in STL compared to other places?

didn't Sinclair just sign another long term agreement with ABC?
