Yikes. So where's the CW in all of that would be my question.

Bloomberg has more details on that All told Bally's (which is ironically enough Soo Kim has control of the company) is paying $85 million for the naming rights
-
Sinclair is now looking into possibily selling naming rights of the RSNs to (possibly among other entities) sports betting entities https://awfulannouncing.com/sinclair/sinclair-could-reportedly-sell-naming-rights-to-the-fox-sports-rsns-to-a-sports-betting-company.htm

Sinclair might be taking the FSNs to DTC (h/t @JCB4TV in my PMs) https://www.cordcuttersnews.com/sinclair-considers-restructuring-affecting-regional-sports-networks/
-
You would think so but as Kent indicated to us on Discord last night, they're going to continue moving forward and rolling out this pkg in time for the election. I firmly believe that they've gone so far in on this project that there's no way they're going to delay it until next year. They want to get it right and not rushed like what we saw with WFLA's implementation of this pkg.
-
(h/t @Nelson R.) Also this and this is something we may need Speculatron-9000 for based on the language that was used in the article https://www.nexttv.com/blogs/sinclair-rsns-timing-is-everything
-
Honestly, I'm not exactly sure what Sinclair is doing here. They haven't even indicated anything yet what they're going to do with the RSNs and the fact they have to restructure the debt ($8 billion of them to be exact) I'm going to be honest and frank I keep saying that both Sinclair and Meredith are in really bad shape and what's going on with both companies is further proving my point that I keep making time after time after time. Granted I don't know what Sinclair's plans are they won't tell us anything but so far people like Rich Greenfield of LightShed have been proven correct and even Rupert Murdoch (the seller of the FSNs) has been proven correct as well. If there are two companies you do not want to buy assets from that are Disney and Fox if you do what Sinclair has done by buying the RSNs from BOTH Disney and Fox you'll lose money and lose money just as fast as the debt on that said asset is rising.

I'd say blame it on the people in charge of the Raycom stations, they'd rather be lazy than get quality programming.

I would assume you got NYG-DAL earlier today.

Shockingly, Griffin's KWTV/KSBI isn't among that group. I think they must be waiting for Tulsa to join the ATSC 3.0 bandwagon before they too join the bandwagon.
-
That's also a very good point. Difference here is that Springfield, MA by the time Western Mass News was established WWLP had long established itself as THE dominant station in that area. In the case of Lansing, as GoldenShine said WLNS and WILX (the latter currently does news for WSYM) are pretty much neck and neck with one another in the ratings, that combined with an ABC station with only news being simulcasts of WLNS, yeah for a market that size (and a state capital might I add) I think Lansing does actually have the room for a 3rd full scale news department that Springfield, MA simply doesn't have room for.
-
I think Scripps realized the competition in the 110th largest market (Lansing) isn't as fierce as the 16th largest market in the country (Miami). Not only that but also the Spanish language stations doesn't even come close to being dominant in Lansing that they are in Miami. I think Scripps realized the competition right now in Miami is too much vs what Lansing is right now.

Add Verizon FIOS to the list of cable providers all over the country that are dropping the RSNs, they dropped AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh a few days ago https://triblive.com/sports/tv-talk-verizons-fios-tv-drops-att-sportsnet-pittsburgh/
-
...or both.
-
WSYM to launch a full scale news department per TVNewsCheck No word yet on when they're going to start full scale in house newscasts or which timeslots will it be occupied by local news.
-
It makes me wonder what the issue is at WKRN with installing the graphics and getting it switched over and I'm sure @KentBrockman can explain this since he works at 'KRN.

From the 506 Forum Files Nathalie Pozo is leaving WHDH for WCVB https://www.wcvb.com/article/nathalie-pozo-joins-wcvb-channel-5-as-weekend-evening-anchor-and-reporter/34249232

Problem is Sinclair ain't going to get anywhere near what they paid to acquire the RSNs in the first place. Plus Ripley probably would rather let the RSNs bankrupt Sinclair by doing nothing and playing hardball with MVPDs a very common thing for Sinclair to do so as seen on numerous occaisions throughout this thread than fixing the business by upgrading the programming quality. Sinclair has failed to understand its not just rebranding of a certain property (such as the RSNs) what matters is content and as the late Summer Redstone would say, content is king. COVID proved that the RSNs in general aren't worth a single nickel to pay for them.
-
At least had the Royals invested in say a 20 to 30 percent stake in Fox Sports Kansas City things would've been okay at least on the Royals side (at least Sinclair would've still owned a pretty significant chunk in FSKC too) Teams such as the Dodgers has proven that being their own middle man doesn't help get deals done, all we have to do is look at how long it took SNLA to finally be on AT&T.
-
True but had the Royals been thinking this through and foresaw the fact that YouTube TV and other local cable companies (not all of them) would drop FSKC that would've signaled the Royals to sign elsewhere if they wanted to get as close to full coverage as they can especially with MLB being so relunctant to ending local in-market blackouts for their own services such as MLB TV.
-
I have to wonder what teams such as the Kansas City Royals was thinking when they reupped their contract with Fox Sports Kansas City? I have serious doubts the Royals were even aware of what I think was a mistake reupping with FSKC. Granted being a small market team it would be difficult for the Royals to start an RSN (at least by themselves) but they could've at least talked to Spectrum about launching an RSN of its own (with the Royals having some control over its network) or have a significant stake in Fox Sports Kansas City when they signed the deal with Sinclair. But from all indications they did nothing other than signing the deal to stay on FSKC for the foreseeable future and it's proving to be a big mistake for the Royals.

The sad part is that now your only options in order to get the RSNs now are either Hulu Live, DirecTV and the local cable companies. That's it. I'm afraid some of my early predictions of Sinclair collapsing may be becoming true all because of a disastorus acquisition. As we've seen with Tribune with all of the bad buys in the 2000s and 2010s, Meredith with Time, Inc and now Sinclair with the RSNs all it takes is one bad buy and it'll set down a path that will eventually lead towards a sale (I'll save it for Speculatron though) and we're seeing that happening with Sinclair. Whether you like Sinclair's politics or not its not the must runs or their political leanings that has doomed Sinclair (it may be part of it but not the whole reason for this) its the bad acquisition of the RSNs at a time where many people such as myself are cutting the cord is what's doomed Sinclair (on top of that Dish dropped them while Sinclair was in the process of closing its acquisitions of the RSNs). Sinclair needs to figure out quick to reinvent the RSNs or else they may be in serious trouble.
