  1. One of them, Children Ruin Everything, is a "Roku Original" in the US.
  2. The network's first upfront under the new ownership took place on Thursday, and here is an interview with the programming chiefs.
  3. The article said that CW stations are only contractually required to air primetime programming, so the CBS and Tegna-owned stations' affiliations are safe.
  4. The Main Studio Rule was abolished in 2019, and every ION station office closed up soon after. An hour of public service programs on weekday mornings produced by those stations were accordingly canceled, according to Wikipedia
  5. KSKN. the CW in Spokane owned by Tegna, is listed as carrying it. Is that a mistake?
  6. That makes more since because if you take that article at face value, it implies that WGN and WCIU were simulcasting.
  7. Nexstar has announced that LIV Golf has cleared 100% of CW stations, "as well as Nexstar owned and operated stations in key markets including Chicago, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Tampa and Hartford": https://deadline.com/2023/02/liv-golf-tour-clears-100-percent-of-cw-stations-1235259435/
  8. Here a more sober outlook at the difficulties of broadcast TV from the business end: https://deadline.com/2022/12/broadcast-networks-death-declining-ratings-streamers-1235203489/
  9. The disputed involved the entire affiliate body on DirecTV Stream, for however many people actually use that.
  10. The Rams-49ers Monday Night Football game will air tomorrow on KABC and KGO, two of the stations that are part of this.
  11. As the day begins in Britain, BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra, 2, and 6 have begun somber music attuned to their existing formats.
  12. BBC Radio 3 is now playing somber music in line with its established format, while the other national BBC music stations are still running the special coverage.
  13. Seinfeld had transitioned to HD masters with new formatting (cropped in some areas, originally unused portions of the film image in other areas) by the time it left TBS.
  14. I'm not sure Disney is committed to over-the-air broadcasting beyond it being a pass-through for programming from their television divisions. They could make the network cable-exclusive if worst comes to worst anywhere.
  15. If I had DISH I would not have half of my market's big four stations (and The CW) right now. (I could still get CBS in SD from Pullman's KLEW as DISH and Sinclair continue talks.)
  16. A right-wing YouTuber issued a racist diatribe on KPIX' Betty Yu, and the station manager and CBSTVS comes out in her defence: https://deadline.com/2021/10/steven-crowder-racist-remarks-condemn-betty-yu-cbs-in-and-out-burger-1234859549/
  17. Is there a rule that states how long a station has to be out of or in the top 4?
  18. Gray's argument is that KYES was already a top 4 station on the strength of the MNT programming. Using that logic, they broke the top 4 rule when they bought KYES back in 2016.
  19. Obviously they wouldn't say anything until the deal closes.
  20. Are they going to take MeTV from WJLP?
  21. Since the FCC describes the current arrangement as meeting regulatory muster, I would think no. The fine will be the end of it.
  22. They're trying to make a new national sports website instead of just a promotional tool for the networks.
  23. If Seattle ever gets another NBA team, will NBC Sports NW disappear from WA cable lineups?
  24. Since Comcast is a cable company, they are able to offer their entire comport of channels for streaming within the wifi reach of a cable modem (the "Xfinity in-home network"). Their out-of-home streaming is far more limited, and doesn't include Root NW.
