This is based off this same article linked from yesterday's post Interpret how y'all see it but this might be the end of Fox Sports Oklahoma, New Orleans, among others and they used how Fox Sports South/Southeast would look like during a Braves game or a Hawks game, or an Atlanta United match How I would interpret it would be just about the same ideas @Spring Rubber and @mrschimpf have presented and it might be for the best intrests of the NBA, NHL and MLB (MLS, and WNBA too)

If Chris Ripley has his way MLB games on the Fox RSNs could be aired on feeds that are DMA-specific (example the St. Louis Cardinals could air on Fox Sports Oklahoma/Southwest within the Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Fort Smith, and Little Rock DMAs as well as Fox Sports Tennessee/South/Southeast within the Jonesboro, Memphis, Jackson, MS, and Paducah/Cape Girardeau DMAs) Another examples I have would be that Cubs games on Marquee could also be aired on Fox Sports Indiana within the Indianapolis and South Bend DMAs, and Fox Sports Wisconsin in both Madison and Milwaukee DMAs closer to the WI/IL state line. Finally, Arizona Diamondbacks games could air on Fox Sports West/Prime Ticket in the Las Vegas DMA with the San Diego Padres airing on Fox Sports Arizona within the Yuma, AZ DMA

See that's the problem I don't handle my own cable bill because right now I don't work. Once I can get a full time job then I might be able to afford cable and such. But until then I have to live with what I have right now.

Exactly, but of course I'm stuck with my parents that simply refuse to acknowledge that going to streaming platforms such as YouTube TV and PlutoTV is the cheaper alternative to paying close to $100 for probably half the channels if not more, that we don't even watch. (That's just a guessestimate, I'm not sure exactly how much my parents are paying for DIRECTV now but, whatever the amount is, it's pretty high) It is what it is and there's really nothing I can do about it because obviously I'm not the boss over the house.

At the end of the day, I would rather have a cable provider who can have no issues with negotiating retransmission consent with content providers than someone who's reputation is to resort to tactics such as threatening to continue carrying the channels if a deal don't get done by this date at this time.

Will this be aired on all ABC affiliates or just some of the affiliates? Also does the ABC affiliates have an option to split up or even air one of the 2 hours of GMA on weekends? If that's the case and it's all over the country, then KOCO will have to lose an hour of local news on weekend mornings in order to accomodate the full 2 hours of GMA Weekend (KSWO and KTUL on the other hand won't be affected by it at all as they don't air local news on weekend mornings at all)

Does your grandparents have a cell phone too or just the House phone?

See my parents are only 64 (my mother will be 65 next month) and yet neither one of them know the cheaper alternative that is streaming, and they hardly use email at all. You'd think that my own parents would be more adapted to today's technology but nope, in fact when I went to buy my new computer my parents had no idea that there was such a thing as a towerless desktop computer. It is what is but I digress...

That's like I've tried to convince my parents to replace Cable with Streaming because it's cheaper to do it that way but my Parents just simply refuse to do it and I live under their roof so I really don't have a say so when it comes to this stuff

Looks like there may be several ex-Tribune stations with expanded newscasts. Maybe perhaps WHO's Today in Iowa will finally become Early Today in Iowa

Could the Packers call on WBAY, WFRV, or WGBA to air the Packers game that'll appear on MNF in the event that WLUK goes dark? Not suggesting that the Packers would do that but, if I were them, I would have a backup plan just in case WLUK goes dark on AT&T.

This happened about 2 weeks ago.

Thanks. I've been wondering when it would happen as about a page and a half of the Out & About thread was being taken up with the WKYC logo discussion Also as seen on Discord, AT&T might be mulling a sale or a spin-off of it's DIRECTV unit according to multiple reports

As @Myron Falwell and I have been discussing about on Discord. That was only rumors and if anything AT&T will sell DIRECTV before they even touch the RSNs and perhaps they must've saw what Disney was facing when they were forced by the Justice Department to sell the former Fox RSNs.

I don't neccesarily think that Weigel is beefing with Nexstar in any manner. If anything, they probably know that Nexstar bought Antenna TV as part of the merger with Tribune and Nexstar will likely convert most of their stations that aren't already affiliated with the network into one.

Griffin Communications to open up a Bureau in Washington, D.C. with current KWTV Noon anchor Alex Cameron tapped to become a D.C. based reporter for both KWTV and KOTV in Tulsa, he'll "produce content specific to Oklahomans on topics and issues that affect the state and its citizens." No word on who will replace Cameron on the Noon newscast at KWTV as of yet

Why would they censor the bottom line ticker? That's almost like pulling the signal of that channel but not pulling the channel completely. These tactics need to stop

I know this hasn't been posted anywhere else (I know @TheRolyPoly teased this on his blog as well) but it looks like KWCH is launching both a 10am AND an 11am newscast on their sister station KSCW starting this upcoming Monday (9/16) I've only seen it on my TV Guide app but Titan TV and others haven't updated it as of yet. More details will be made available as they come so stay tuned....

Weird. Something smells and I don't like it. Just saying.

It probably hasn't been updated elsewhere yet but as @ColtFromGulfcoast said it was on the TV Guide grid so KTBS/KPXJ must've entered their 8am newscast into the system without telling us anything about it. Anyway, it was about time that KPXJ's morning newscast expanded to 2 hours.

I would like to know this, what is it about AT&T (DIRECTV) getting involved with these carriage disputes? These disputes aren't happening by accident, there has got to be a reason why we've been so many carriage disputes involving (and if I were a betting man I say the majority of those that we've seen this year are involving AT&T/DIRECTV)

While that statement may be true however the way I look at it, all of the stuff going on at WBNS (including what happened today with Mike Davis) is starting to catch up to 10TV. Don't be surprised if WSYX overtakes 10TV's ratings spot in additional time slots moving forward.

Also there are several schools that still have contracts with FSN that Sinclair inherited from Fox and Disney (the Oklahoma Sooners is among that group) so it would be interesting to see how Sinclair handles that

It wouldn't surprise me if some of the Fox Regional Sports Networks that Sinc;lair recently bought eventually get involved with the production of NFL preseason telecasts similar to how NBC Sports Washington is involved in producing Redskins preseason telecasts with WRC (i.e Fox Sports Ohio taking over some production responsibilities of the Bengals preseason telecasts from WKRC)

Sunshine Network branding returning to replace Fox Sports Sun isn't out of the realm of possibility here, I think we might see Sinclair use some unique branding like perhapse HSE, and PASS Right now what Sinclair is doing with the rebranding of the FSNs is right now in secret they probably won't tell us much of anything untile new name(s) are announced and we'll have a better idea of what exactly Sinclair will rebrand the RSNs to. Right now it's just speculation at this point Although I might add that Sinclair did file a trademark application for use of the "Diamond Sports Network" branding. I can't get the image of the trademark up for y'all to see at the moment but what I can tell you it was filled back in May about 2 weeks after Sinclair announced the acquisition of the RSNs
