  1. I wonder whether NBC will change their graphics package as the current look, except NFL and EPL, is six years old.
  2. Would it be easier for Gray to move the KCBD NBC feed to the KLCW spectrum they just acquired?
  3. What's going on with Cox, they need to hire a new negotiator.
  4. I wonder whether Scripps will eventually launch newscasts on the Ion station in Tampa, Las Vegas, Tulsa, Nashville, Utah, and Milwaukee.
  5. That truce could only apply to KIRO, WHIO, KYMA, KVIQ, and WXVT
  6. Here we go again: DirecTV and AT&T TV Could Lose Cox-Owned Locals Next Week Although the article lists the legacy Cox stations, it also appears that the former NWB stations could be yanked as well. As you remember, NWB was in a prolonged fight with AT&T in 2019 just before the Cox merger.
  7. Now, Sinclair can go try, in vain, to get their RSNs back on the platforms that've dropped them recently.
  8. CBS will be moving to 44.3 on February 4, just in time for the Super Bowl.
  9. Mr. Brokaw started at KTIV, the NBC station in Sioux City while attending the University of South Dakota, thus Tom has spent he entire career at NBC.
  10. Suggestion: One of the Ion Plus licenses I'd like to see sold would be the WDPX, PSIP 58, license in Boston to NBCU which will finally give WBTS a full power home and the must carry privileges that come with it. Here's how I see it working: Scripps sells the WDPX license to NBCU who, in turn, change the callsign to WBTS and move it to WNEU's spectrum, RF29. NBCU either sells, cancels, or donates, to WGBH, the current WBTS-CD license.
  11. I wonder whether Univision would be willing to end the deal early in several markets. One market I see would be Washington, DC where Univision hosts Nexstar on RF15 as potentially clearing Grit and Bounce could make room for WDVM move into DC. Also, the other Scripps subnets air in DC on WRZB-LD and should move to WPXW in the spring.
  12. Will the Inyo stations be obligated to take the Katz subnets, or will they be free to add new subnets on their spectrum?
  13. Just by reading the article, it appears that CBS is destined for 44.2 in Sioux City.
  14. Will Qubo & Ion Plus be closed or converted into digital services?
  15. In wonder whether Portland, Maine is also an all hands on deck market with Hearst in the market along with Tegna and Sinclair along with the possibility that FOX moves from WPFO to WGME?
  16. I believe that only the GM, Sales Mgr, and the Engineer are the only Mission employees at WPIX.
  17. I found a new potential factor in the future of NBCSN, Comcast is looking to relaunch G4 in 2021, with that, they may need NBCSN's transponder space in order to make this happen and possibly justifying NBCSN's current programming moving to USA, CNBC, or Peacock.
  18. I believe the only reason NBCSN would close would be in the even they lose NHL and/or EPL.
  19. I took that into consideration when I thought of places where CBS can place their sports content should they decide to close CBSSN. In addition, Nickelodeon can pick up the slack, they're simulcasting one NFL playoff game. From my prospective, none of the Viacom networks are branded to televise live sports on a regular basis, with that, it may be more difficult for CBS to justify closing CBSSN unless they plan to move most of the content to Paramount+, the rebranded CBS All Access. Can America see MTV celebrating their 40th anniversary by showing sports?
  20. Charlie Ergen must have been visited by those 4 Christmas Ghosts!
  21. I personally could only see NBCSN go should they not be able to renew with EPL or the NHL, yet I can also see many of NBCSN's offerings moving to Peacock, USA, or CNBC. I can see CBSSN closing with many of their programs moving to Paramount+, or MTV. Many FS2 programs can potentially move to FBN.
  22. Variety Exclusive: Fox Broadcasting, Sinclair Strike Multi-Year Affiliation Renewal Deal
  23. Retransmission disputes with Dish are not short.
  24. Remember, all the sports teams need as many eyeballs as possible watching their games on television until fans are allowed to returns to arenas.
  25. It's not just the Brewers who are stuck, many of the other Sinclair RSN teams are stuck as well as the only options they have are the expense of starting their own RSN, migrating to D2C streaming, or signing with an OTA station. The only teams I can see moving to another RSN are the LA teams who can possibly move to Spectrum SportsNet or SportsNet LA, and the Texas and Oklahoma teams moving to AT&T Sports Net SW. As for the Brewers, they can also try WPXE, who'll most likely be a Scripps station by the time the 2021 season starts, while WMLW should move to the WDJT stick.
