With the exeption of a pre-recorded interview with Simone Biles, Hoda was not on the Wednesday, 8/4 edition of Today as she was enroute to New York and will apparently join Savannah on the Plaza on Thursday. Craig was still in Tokyo.

Savannah, Honda and Al are back in New York
Savannah and the last three Olympics:
2016: She was unable to travel to Rio as she was pregnant and there were concerns over Zika. She remained in New York and was newsreader.
2018: She had to sub for Lester after he returned to New York then became ill with flu.
2021: Returns to New York after one week of competition to have fun on the Plaza
As for Al, why did he go in the first place? He was in Tokyo for a week and probably did not leave the hotel.

In a Instagram live with his wife, Al said they didn’t believe they would have as much access to the olympians, I also feel I heard this elsewhere too (maybe some of the Today show XM podcasts). The thinking is that they would only be able to zoom interview the olympians.
So, for planning, they thought the show would be boring and only planned for 1 week it sounds like.
At least they can have an audience at Studio 1A.

What's the rationale? Please don't say "delta variant"...
I doubt it's COVID as they'd be in quarantine in Japan had they tested positive. NBC may want someone back in Studio 1A.

It's over, with the Lightning defeating the Canadiens 1-0, the NHL on NBC/OLN/Versus/NBCSN has come to an end!

Looking at the setup Gray has in Anchorage, per RabbitEars:
CBS is on KTUU's spectrum as 5.11
RF22 is now KYES-LD with CBS on 5.1
RF7 is now KAUU with 5.2 Antenna TV, 5.3 Circle, and 5.4 MyN
I did not see it in the document, but could the FCC force Gray to give CBS back to GCI, who'll have to resume operations on KTVA?

Ah yes, because we all want a total conglomerate of RSNs owned by one company!
Fox tried that in the early days of FSN in the late 1990s/early 2000s, as a matter of fact, this deal would reunite Bay Area/California, Boston, and Chicago with the Bally RSNs.
The ones I can see Sinclair wanting most would be Boston, Bally Corporation's HQ is in Providence, and Washington, Sinclair's home market.

Yeah, E.W. Scripps is a good fit.
Probably, but Scripps is already in all three of these markets.

Imagine if Gray were to lose the ability to build on RF9 in Freeport, IL.

The last holdout is WFLX (which Scripps actually does the heavy lifting in).
There's technically one holdout left, KNIN, where Scripps also does the heavy lifting, yet, they use the Revrocket platform unlike to other Raycom stations before Gray.

Waiting to see if Gray moves WYMT off channel 12, but they have a huge coverage on that channel.
I'd like to see whether Gray will move KXII off RF12. I contacted them several months back, and they said that they had no immediate plans to move to UHF.

Something of note, they're dropping their Monday and Wednesday night games. I wonder if NBC, CBS, FOX or Turner might want to sweep in and pick up those games.
I doubt it, I believe that Turner will get a Tuesday game with MLBN and FS1 possibly taking those games.

Couple of news today in the ESPN world:
ESPN and MLB reached a long-term extension for 7 years
And ESPN has reached a long-term agreement with Spain's La Liga for the next 8 seasons (through the 2028-29 season). The deal includes the broadcast rights in Canada on TSN and RDS.
https://espnpressroom.com/us/press-releases/2021/05/espn-and-laliga-reach-historic-rights-agreement-bringing-top-rated-soccer-league-to-millions-more-fans-across-the-u-s/I'm surprised that ESPN did not get TV rights to the World Series, splitting with FOX.
Goodbye beIN Sports.

Philadelphians would LOVE this. NBCS Philly has had a long history of distribution issues (DTV and Dish doesn't carry it still) so getting it ala carte would work instead of shifting TV providers
When NBC Sports Philadelphia launched as CSN Philadelphia in 1997, they used the terrestrial infrastructure left behind by PRISM to distribute the channel keeping satellite companies from access. The FCC closed this loophole in 2010, but the issues remain.

NBC Sports could sell its RSNs or make them available on Peacock
NBC was apparently ready to put NBC Sports Philadelphia on Peacock in time for the Phillies, but had to push it back.

New Petition today. And this is from a flagship outlet, soon to be acquired by Gray.
Quincy's WGEM wants to vacate VHF 10 for UHF 19.
This makes since as WGEM's only competitor, Sinclair's KHQA, is also applying to move from V to U.

For those of you looking for the Toledo-Notre Dame game on September 11, the game will be exclusively on Peacock. All other ND home games will be on both NBC & Peacock.
