It's ambiguous, just like when they started up the 8pm on WWOR. I hope you are right for both 8&9. Once launched we will know for sure.

Will these be live broadcasts or a repeat of the 6 pm newscasts like Fox 5 is doing on WWOR (my9) in NYC at 8 pm?

She was interim president. She was named president, no more interim. Although the headline of the article you included says interim, the article states she is president, as other reports stated.

PIX 11 was promoting this over the weekend. I think they indicated the Apple TV+ app was available.

As expected.

This that made the decision should be fired. It was shameful.

For those of us on medicare, this is a nightmare scenario. How someone reprimanded by the FDA, more than once, who has pushed junk science, or one sided issue discussions to create bad television, can effectively oversee a large organization is beyond comprehension. He ran for Senate in Pennsylvania, while a northern NJ (Cliffside Park, near the GW Bridge) resident and now he gets rewarded.

Sadly you have to question her judgement. She put both Dr. Oz (twice reprimanded by FDA due to fraudulent claims and failure to disclose equity interests) and the fraud Dr. Phil who pulled this disgusting stunt.

Sadly there is a segment of the population that eat this stuff up, no matter how most of us feel. The good news, most don't know where to even find the station. Doe it even register in terms of ratings? The bad news, it is a bubble, reinforcing what folks want to hear and believe. Something all media is becoming.

I'm sure this is one of the million questions and decisions NBC and SpinCo will be addressing over the next year. It could be as you say, or 100% streaming or license some games to USA. There are other sports that NBC has the rights to that air on USA including Premier League Soccer, A10 basketball, and others.

WCBS sure isn't acting like that. Perhaps viewer feedback was not as positive as they hoped in his test broadcasts. One would think that with many months since DuBois move was announced, they would have a plan that seamlessly puts in place the new team.

Sadly we have too many defending what he did, calling it what it wasn't including Elise Stefanik. The press needs to find its morals and call it out.

It wasn’t a gesture. It was a Nazi salute. Let’s call it what it was.

Evidently Altice USA and Nexstar have come to an agreement. Both Mission owned WPIX and Nexstar's NewsNation are back on Optimum systems. No notification from Optimum to their customers of course.

That's not unique. Just to the EWN fandom. Chuck Scarborough did it for years. Janice Huff as well. The reduction in shifts for long time staff members is well deserved.

Altice USA has written to the FCC that the inclusion of Mission "owned" WPIX in the retransmission fight violates the FCC order. Considering most Mission "owned" stations are not included (and Nexstar owned stations are not off the air in the Mission - DirecTV fight) this is true. https://www.policyband.com/p/dc-memo-altice-usa-accuses-nexstar?utm_source=post-email-title#038;publication_id=2219351&post_id=154759128&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=192djc&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email

The article clearly states there is much to still be determined in unwinding "SpinCo" from the current NBCUniversal, including NBCU's structure. It again reiterates it is a spin off, to shareholders, not a wholly owed new Comcast division. It will have its own stock, its own board (who we don't know the members yet) and make its own decisions. How it interacts with NBCU, especially on providing content is to be determined and complicated.

That's a big if. It didn't happen under the last GOP controlled Pai FCC. Who knows how long it will take to add a GOP member, right now it will be 2-2.

I'm not sure losing the CW in its current form is a big deal either. If memory serves me, you don't need cable credentials to watch the CW app (though I haven't tried). That was a work around the last time Optimum (then Cablevision owned) Nexstar is playing both sides here. They claim WPIX is Mission owned but it's blacked out, while other Mission stations aren't blacked out but are on DirecTV. They are confirming the current FCC's claims.

Yet they didn't in other markets like in Providence where Nester's CBS is still on DirecTV, but Missions FOX and CW stations are not? This is one big sham.

Nexstar is threatening to pull channels off of Optimum. The listed cities include NY (which would be WPIX). Thing is, I thought they don't own it, Mission does. So much for their claim. I believe it is on DirecTV still while other Mission stations have been off for a year or so now. Definitely some fancy footwork going on here.

It is one disappointing aspect of MSNBC - not covering live breaking news as strongly as others. I'm also not sure what is up with NBC News yesterday. Even their coverage of President Jimmy Carter's arrival in DC, memorial at the Navy Memorial, and procession to the Capitol was minimal and focused only on the rotunda ceremony. ABC and CBS both had more comprehensive coverage. As a NBC viewer, I was disappointed.

It doesn't help the head of the MTA doesn't seem to live in reality. But that goes beyond discussion on this board and its primary focus.

Companies will see the MTA Money Grab as a cost of doing business, just like regular tolls on bridges, tunnels, parkways and turnpikes. As long as Disney (Paramount, NBCU, Nexstar, oops, I mean Mission and Fox) reimburse employees when covering stories the impact is more palatable to producing and on air staff. The one's getting hurt are those that have to commute into the city via private vehicles that don't normally get reimbursed for tolls. I would think many of them already take mass transit.

It wasn't a big deal and did not take away from coverage. By seeing some of the local station's graphics, it was a cue that they leveraged their local station in New Orleans. I'm sure very few were bothered by it. This was an emergency broadcast due to a terrorist attack. There were more important things that morning.
