In '84, the Mets were contending for the NL East title along with the Cubs. And if they made the postseason, WOR-TV would have faced the same issue WGN-TV was staring at, and that WTBS did deal with in '82. So MLB did this to codify their broadcast partners (ABC and NBC). A straight money grab.
NBC lost millions in ad revenue by how the 1983 LCS's were structured as WMAR aired local advertising, O&O WMAQ, at least O&O KNBC had Scully in their back pocket, and the signal of O&O WRC reaches Baltimore. In Philadelphia, viewers probably turned to Harry Kalas and stayed away from KYW. Had WGN been able to televise the 1984 NLCS, viewers would have probably tuned to Harry Caray over Don Drysdale.

...not since 1983, the last year that LCS games had dual regional and national TV coverage.
National: NBC
Orioles: WMAR (NBC) with Orioles' Broadcasters
White Sox: WFLD (Independent) superseding WMAQ
National: NBC
Dodgers: KTTV (Independent) superseding KNBC
Phillies: WTAF (Independent) superseding KYW

Something I've noticed that might have been part of the new MLB contracts; did the 2020 wild card games have regional broadcasts? Sportsnet was doing local broadcasts for the Blue Jays games rather than simulcasting ESPN's feed.
The last time they were in the postseason, there were no local broadcasts at all. Could MLB have taken a page from how the NBA has handled its Canadian broadcasts? (by contrast, Sportsnet and TSN did their own broadcasts for every Raptors playoff game).
The SportsNet broadcasts may have been specific to the Blue Jays, I have not seen any indication that games were on Bally Sports GL, Sun, MW, or SD, SNY, ROOTNW or NBCSP.

Now could they consider moving Nightly News to 10? That would make everybody, the viewers and the affiliates (aka O&O management) happy.
I believe that most of us on this forum can see NBC moving Nightly News to 10/9c and formatting it similar to CBC's The National.

Excellent choice by KWCH. They needed to get rid of the Media General-era logo, which made them look like a Nexstar station.
Future KXII logo?

Because The National airs at 10 and American/Canadian work culture isn't too different?
I was about to say that, if CBC can air a one hour national newscast at 10/9c, why not try it here in America.
Another possible idea would be for NBC affiliates to air their late newscast at 10/9c for 75 minutes with The Tonight Show starting at 11:15/10:15c.

I wonder if this has anything to do with it?
I believe that NBC News Daily will be produced from the studio currently in use for the rest of NBC News Now is produced.

The previous FNIA and SNF Logos were in use from its 2006 launch, which probably meant it was time for a refresh.

New Petition.
RNN has filed to have Norwell, MA's WWDP to vacate VHF 10 and move to UHF 36.
I would've rather see WGBH (RF 5) or WSBE (RF 2) move to this allotment than a station that only shows wasteful infomercials and shopping channels.
There are also two LD stations, WECA in Boston and WYCN in Providence, that are currently broadcasting on RF 36 who'll need to move should the WWDP petition be approved.
As for WGBH and WGBX, they can possibly move 2.1 and 44.1 to RF 32 by ending the CSA with WBTS, who moves to WNEU's spectrum.

I assume CBS and Fox will alternate between doubleheader weeks
They do that now as both CBS and Fox have the doubleheader in Weeks 1 & 18 and split 2-17 with 8 each.

Or, y'know, just not base their purchasing decisions on games involving grown men getting concussions and throwing weirdly-shaped objects wrapped in pigskin.
It brings in an estimated $10B.

Indy is not an NFC market but that is not as important with the new contract starting next year. Fox might be able to have more Colts games.
From my understanding, starting in 2023, all NFL games will be free agents, dates will be announced first with time and channel later, similar to college.

I’m surprised more VHF channels don’t move to UHF digital channels .
In some places, there may not be any spectrum available for stations to move.

Whether they move the big station (WVII) or not (which I'm not taking about), that's up to them. Should that PBS station be sucessfully in its petition, Rockfleet going to have to displace that LP to a new allotment.
I was implying that it would be more beneficial for Rockfleet to potentially move WVII to UHF rather then have to find a new home for WFVX.

Should that change go in effect, LP Fox station WFVX-LD would have to find a new channel to go to, since they're on 22. And LPs don't get allotment protection.
For the most part, WFVX is a UHF repeater for WVII, with that in mind, Rockfleet can just simply attempt to move WVII to UHF from VHF 7.

MLB released the Apple TV+ schedule on Tuesday, the slate will begin on April 8 with Mets-Nationals followed by Astros-Angels.

It may not mean anything as it's only Spring Training, yet SportsNet is using the "old" scorebug for the Blue Jays.

WBXC-CD Champaign/Urbana, IL
I wonder why Gray would want a station in a market where it does not currently have a full power station?

Shortly after being purchased by Gray, KMOV is planning to move out of its longtime home in downtown St. Louis. Most likely moving to suburban Maryland Heights (same suburb KTVI/KPLR are in).
Wasn't KMOV's current home built by CBS when channel 4 was an O&O?

Maybe CBS would keep WTOG and turn it to a CBS O&O?
I doubt it, I believe that should CBS ever decide to unload WTOG, it would either go to FOX or Standard, should their acquisition of WTSP be successful.

WTOG would be a duop with WFLA.
Nexstar already has a duopoly in Tampa with WTTA.
