  1. LIV golf will be paying with time buy as NYNewsJunkie said to air on The CW which be weekends I wonder if it be live or tape delay for primetime 8PM to 10PM? I thought that LIV wanted to do a a buy time with the Fox but Fox wasn't interested why no deal never happened.
  2. I remember when PAX first came on it had to share at first was QVC then shared with TV Guide Channel was from 6PM to 1AM WZPX did air UPN from 11PM to 1AM 98-99 season when LIN launched UPN on low-power WXSP. Suckyvision oh I mean Cablevision didn't put it in the lineup WXSP. When WZPX got The WB was when they got there own channel in fall 99 The WB was on WGN before they went with superstation branding in fall 99 with no WB primetime, the only thing that was ever in pattern was Kids WB as WB primetime was on a 22-hour delay Monday shows aired on a Tue until The WB ended in fall of 06. I called Pax paid programming network and the I Network as I Suck Network WZPX was one of highest rated PAX stations across the country largely because of The WB. I was surprised that ION did air NFL Game Of The Week in fall of 07 that only lasted for one season was also surprised they aired UFC & WWE in 2011 & 2012 as not surprised both failed they couldn't keep the fans after the shows were over. I'm not surprised that Scripps will try to put sports on ION it will be more local sports in my opinion, I was surprised that Scripps didn't buy WZPX since it isn't a top 4 TV station in West Michigan when they own Fox17.
  3. I can see JHud being renewed looks like most of the shows from this year will get a second season from B&C article I read last week. I wonder if On Patrol in a 30 minute format will be in syndication like Live PD was for a couple of years ago with 30 minute block or an hour? Or if TV station groups don't want reality type cop show because of social justice and May 2020 death of George Floyd, WXSP did air Cops until the end of Aug 2020 when it was pulled.
  4. Michaela Pereira will largely be on CW or MYNet TV in my opinion. And PPI TV shows don't ever release which markets the show will be on.
  5. Never seen a TV station group tell them to demand a rebate when TV stations go dark with insert Pay-TV provider like Nexstar did with Comcast before they got a new deal.
  6. I'm not surprised that NBC will program 10PM On Chi, L&O do well in the 3 hour block. West Michigan has 3 10PM newscast 2 are just half hour newscast Fox17 goes from 10PM to 11:30PM. I remember when CW7 launched a 10PM newscast their slogan was news in half the time a dig at Fox17 they got rid of the slogan years ago. I agree too much local news West Michigan doesn't have much news in a day to fill why I think 4PM news in this market isn't good in my opinion.
  7. I was surprised no date was given when the local Nexstar TV stations go dark on Comcast guessing Jan 1 12AM in my opinion. I think Nexstar has other deals with pay-TV that ends at on Dec Charter Spectrum & Mediacom I could be wrong on that will not know unless there is a scroll on the TV. Nexstar filed a lawsuit against Comcast also Charter Spectrum in 2021 over WPIX both want the FCC to make WPIX own to Nexstar. That could be dropped when a new deal becomes final. I think that Nexstar & Comcast dispute could be a long one in my opinion. The end of 2019 was when Comcast & Nexstar signed the 3 year deal. Forgot to say WPIX in the post last night. I didn't know that Nexstar also sued Spectrum I thought that was only Comcast found out on B&C article on Comcast & Nexstar stations going dark.
  8. I'm surprised that Fox didn't sign on for People Puzzler since they seem to be the launch group for these type of shows be a later date along with other TV station groups. West Michigan Sinclair, Nexstar or Scripps takes the show.
  9. I thought that Fox and DirecTV would get a deal done at the 11TH hour.
  10. TBD is on WWMT .3 which use to be Comet before moving to WXSP .3 kinda surprised that Sinclair did that let a rival air there diginets.
  11. Nexstar will have full control in 2024 they got $54 million who wouldn't want to take it I know I would do that deal in a hart beat.
  12. Due to the World Cup WXMI Fox17 will air Jennifer Hudson at 3AM for a few weeks. The other shows will not be aired The List, We The People, ICrime unless they play them on subchannel.
  13. I thought that Chris Cuomo & Bill O'Reilly didn't like each other kinda odd that O'Reilly goes on his show. NN dead last on election night and couldn't crack a million viewers.
  14. Yeah, I could see Kelly Clarkson Show moving in ATL next year if it stays at 1:30AM on WSB after the runoff.
  15. Whose Line had a good run it was time for it to end. I wasn't a fan of the show and I didn't watch it.
  16. Huge get for WHIZ & Zanesville getting Fox. I'm guessing they get CBS & ABC out from C-Bus.
  17. Wood TV hosted the governors debate I didn't watch it I had no interest in it will be one more debate next week Oct 25 WXMI Fox17 will air the second debate from Oakland U in Detroit since their sister station WXYZ will be airing it. The first debate wasn't aired in Detroit other than WDIV 4+ app not on the main channels in Detroit. I think the stations think too highly of themselves should've been aired on one of the main channels not just an app or a website in my opinion. Nexstar's sister station aired the debate in Lansing was aired on 9&10 in Northern Michigan.
  18. Gray needs to find another ND for KCTV that place can't keep an ND they are out the door less than a year on the job Gray can't get that Meredith stink out at the station.
  19. No ass kissing from Chris and didn't have his bro former governor of NY Andrew on the show LOL since Andrew needs a job after all. I wasn't going to watch Chris's show I didn't watch him on CNN when he had his bro on nightly being on his jock strap with softball questions. His promos suck for his show should've kept news of the day at 8PM or hired Megyn Kelly she would've gotten better ratings than Chris.
  20. Yeah, I think do Fri & Sat nights during the winter, spring & summer for Sat nights. I'd only do 2 nights and not go for 7 as One Chi does quite well for NBC on Wed nights.
  21. I was happy that Nexstar likes Walker & it's spinoff, Kung FU, Superman & Lois. I hope they keep Stargirl, All American, Nancy Drew as Nancy & her Drew Crew have more story to tell. I don't see Fox having a problem with Nexstar owning The CW in my opinion they will get a deal done whenever Nexstar has to renew with Fox.
  22. You have to go to MGM website to get to Ring Nation where they have a link where it is shown across the country wasn't cleared in West Michigan only cleared in 2 markets in Michigan Detroit as someone already mention and Lansing. TMZ renewed for 3 more seasons along with TMZ Live as well that was a given as Fox bought TMZ last year I was surprised that WB didn't sell Extra to Fox as well since I know Extra is on most Fox O&O's in major markets.
  23. I thought that Gray renewed with CBS last year and that included WGCL/WANF? I read it somewhere on a media website I could be wrong on that. I think they should use different branding when they don't have news hours which I know is few for WANF has now being with Gray.
  24. Dish is the worse when it comes with getting deals done I wouldn't ever go with them for that reason as I don't think they try to get deals done in my opinion. Disney doesn't need Dish as Dish needs Disney more why it didn't last that long as I thought they would get a deal done. Dish doesn't like sports fans either.
  25. It's an outdated rule Sinclair & Nexstar should take The FCC to court and not pay the fine either I wouldn't if I owned either Sinclair or Nexstar. And if I was on The FCC I'd have voted for no fine Jessica abused her power as she knows this clearly is an outdated rule that needs to go like the DINO. And I blame this rule why there is no Sat morning cartoons on FOX, ABC, NBC, CBS, The CW anymore I know even if the outdated rule does go bye, bye, bye broadcast isn't going to air Sat morning cartoons. Which Sat morning cartoons would be better than the nature/E/I crap that no one watches.
