I’m more amazed they used their sports account handle with a straight face for the WWE announcement.
Ever since Fox picked up Smackdown, they have been marketing it under the Fox Sports banner. The show even has a page on the Fox Sports website. Likewise, AEW was marketed as a product of Turner Sports during the WarnerMedia/AT&T era.

Good thing that AT&T/DirecTV got a deal done with Nexstar a couple of months ago it's no big loss losing TEGNA WZZM as you can watch ABC on WOTV in West Michigan at least.
Likewise, CBS viewers in Spokane can watch KLEW instead of KREM as DirecTV recently reupped with Sinclair.

KUNS will be the new CW affiliate in Seattle.
Univision is being dropped. They declined being moved to a subchannel.
The source says Hispanic leaders in the area aren't pleased.

What's Ring of Honor up to these days?
Now that would be an ironic pickup because of their prior owners!
AEW promoter Tony Khan owns it now and their weekly shows run only on their HonorClub streaming service (but the ROH belts are frequently defended on AEW TV shows). AEW currently airs on Warner Bros. Discovery's TNT and TBS and is trying to reach a long term deal with them that includes streaming rights, so they've made it clear they don't want deals with any other company at this time.

You sure about that? The CBC logo and copyright are included during the end credits of most of their domestic scripted and alternative programs, and since 2021 (as evidenced with Heartland, which is syndicated in the U.S. and began including this tag with its 14th season), most of their domestic scripted shows are identified as being “A CBC Production”.
That gives the impression that the network/Crown corporation maintains ownership of (at least, some of) its domestic non-news-and-sports programming.
Yes, the CBC does get to put their logo on shows with a "produced in association with" credit, but that tag you speak of actually says "A CBC Original" (they go into more detail here).

How much of the CW content is Canadian, and where does it come from?
CTV dramas Sullivan's Crossing andThe Spencer Sisters, as well as most of the Thursday sitcom lineup: Son of a Critch, Run the Burbs (both CBC) and Children Ruin Everything (CTV, previously streamed in US on The Roku Channel) making 3 1/2 hours of programming. The shows are either supplied by their individual producers or CTV (the CBC isn't allowed to own its prime-time entertainment programming).

and a translator of Wheatley CTV2 O&O CHWI-DT (CHWI-60)
For those not in the know, CTV2 is a separate service from the main CTV network airing less prominent programming (their local O&O stations' newscasts are branded "CTV News" because using the CTV2 brand would imply that they would be a lesser product).

It would be so interesting if Nexstar appealed to CTV or Global and the CRTC to borrow a subchannel across the river for The CW+ while they got in the Adell legal congo line (and because it's currently packed with CanCon).
And for purely personal reasons I don't want to see the CW on WDIV-DT2 because it's This TV's longest-lived affiliate on the same channel outside WHDH.
That's even less likely than normal because of the Canadian shows on the network schedule (at normal this proposal files against long-standing ownership restrictions against non-Canadian broadcasters).

So here’s your daily “What the Hell?”.
After my local CW affiliate (KPTM-DT3) airs the weekly Thursday night football game (about 9:30pm, and tonight’s matchup as I am writing this, October 12th, is Hastings vs Ralston), they air an episode of iCrime to fill up the rest of the 9:00pm hour, followed by the CW primetime lineup from 10:00pm till midnight.. just why?
A marginal ratings improvement on the syndie fare that's usually in those slots?

Just because he is "retiring" does not allow him to avoid being held accountable. He is probably still the top shareholder still.
Rupert remains in control of the trust that owns 40 or so percent of the company for the benefit of his children, yes.

(and the problem is trying to get both ESPN and TNT's permission for earlier rounds).
The NHL owns the rights to all national game telecasts after they're over, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Late Show with David Letterman ended in 2015, as did Worldwide Pants' interest in Late Late Show after Craig Ferguson departed.
But Worldwide Pants produced several weeks of guest hosts early in 2015 before Corden took over (but not the week of episodes from New York including the legendary Adam Pally ep or the special late episodes of The Talk).

Why is that, by the way?Edit: A search of the trademark database says that Worldwide Pants still owns the Late Show trademarks
As for Pluto TV repeats, there are rights issues with the musical guests (there is an official Letterman YouTube channel with choice segments and interviews dating back to the NBC era).

CBS has over 70 years of televised available content, nearly 100 years worth of paramount (and the companies paramount bought out and merged into over the years) content, and over 30 years of late night programming ready to air at any point in time. they chose…..a low rated, unfunny comedy series that hasn’t had a singular new episode since craig ferguson was hosting the late late show. just give 12:37am back to affiliates at this rate.
Narrowing that down to what is actually realistic: The feature films don't fit in the timeslot (and Paramount only owns their post-1951 features, the Republic library, and the films that previous incarnations of CBS have financed), Much of the early CBS primetime was wiped or not owned by the network, and Worldwide Pants owns the entirety of the CBS late night talk show lineup from 1993 to 2014, leaving for CBS The Pat Sajak Show. That still leaves a significant library of 70 or so years or surviving comedy or drama programming owned by the network, Paramount Television, other smaller producers Paramount owns, or their cable networks.

Like KMCC, KUPX has became an independent station.
The branding:
KMCC: Vegas 34
KUPX: Utah 16
KMCC's inaugural prime time slate: endless cycling through of the Knights' Stanley Cup Final games from last season. At the very least, there were other playoff games from that campaign that could've been used.

WGN had the same issue until it dumped the CW, so I don't see why this is so panic-inducing, and Gray already sends a different feed to Canada of WPCH which fills in local advertiser content that isn't relevant in Saskatoon with extra runs of the shows they have rights to. I'm sure Gray and Nexstar do have plans for that feed and whatever allowances Bell and Shaw need to keep the feed going (expect LOTS of domestic paid programming blocks on the weekends).
The other thing...are we just all allergic to "TV" branding now? "TV-50" is a lot more remembered than "Detroit 50", along with "KSTWashington".
The current listings for PCH in Canada on TVTV for Monday have Son of a Crich and Children ATM.
