According to Zap2it's advanced listings, the noon news is slated to return next Wednesday.

It doesn't look like the GMA3 brand is going away. According to TV listings, as of yesterday ABC changed the name of its 1pm ET hour from Pandemic: What You Need to Know to GMA3: What You Need to Know. It still has the same hosts as under the previous title, rather than the GMA3 crew, but it seems like ABC is keeping the GMA3 brand alive for the show's eventual return.

It might be better this way to use the week before Labor Day as sort of a "soft launch" to get some of the kinks out of the way when there is potentially a smaller audience. Chances are there will be some issues/glitches when the show first launches.

Not just Sinclair's legal team, but also the FCC's compliance officer who is tasked with keeping Sinclair in check. That, I imagine, will be the bigger obstacle than Sinclair's own attorneys.

WLEX meteorologist Jill Szwed's last day at the station is May 24. WTEN has hired her to be the station's new weekday morning meteorologist. She starts at the Albany station next month.

A lot of retailers and restaurants across the country are either closed or operating in a limited capacity right now. The travel and hospitality industries have virtually been shut down for the most part. Either those businesses don't see a need to advertise right now while they're not running at full capacity or they have had to cut back on their advertising budgets to help deal with less revenue coming in.

It'll be WTTV (Indianapolis) this weekend, with Debby Knox anchoring on Saturday and Bob Donaldson Sunday.

I'm convinced Broadcasting & Cable doesn't have any editors. They have way too many factual/spelling/grammatical errors to have editors checking stories before they're posted.

Disney couldn't buy the Fox network. Federal regulations prevent one company from owning two of the Big 4 broadcast networks. Disney would have had to sell ABC if it wanted to acquire the Fox network. And the Fox RSNs were part of the sale to Disney, but the Department of Justice forced Disney to sell them in order to gain approval for the rest of the deal. They eventually went to an ownership group led by Sinclair.

Not to take this thread too far off topic, but I tried to join the Discord yesterday, too, and when I clicked the Join link, I got this error message: That might be what EastTenneseeWXGeek is talking about when he says it won't let him join.

Here's Sinclair's statement. FS West and Prime Ticket were dropped, along with YES. The other 19 FS-branded RSNs will remain on YouTube TV.

That article was from last week. See the links in my post above the one you quoted. YTTV dropped YES and Fox Sports West/Prime Ticket (maybe others too) overnight last night. From tweets I've seen, YTTV is dropping some of the Sinclair-owned RSNs but has not released a full list of which ones are being dropped.

After a short-term extension, YouTube TV has dropped at least some of the Sinclair RSNs, including YES -- which tweeted a pretty angry statement, even throwing Sinclair under the bus.

ESPN has cancelled afternoon show High Noon. It'll air through next month.

According to the daily schedule on the station's site, the CBS Evening News airs from 6:30-6:45pm, then the station goes local at 6:45.

WTEN morning forecaster Jess Briganti is leaving the Albany station when her contract ends next month. Her last day on-air will be March 11.

In anticipation of Fox's new graphics package, here's a look at the NFL on Fox scorebugs through the years, courtesy of a DeviantArt user. I'm partial to the 2006-2009 bar. It had a nice, clean look. The only thing it was missing was the timeout indicators, which came with the next package.

Brittany McHatten is leaving WRGB/Albany after 4.5 years, most recently as the sports director, to join WABI in Bangor, Maine. She got married since joining WRGB, and she has been living apart from her husband, who works in communications at the University of Maine. She'll be a morning anchor at WABI, starting next month.

Could a potential fifth hour be headed to the Peacock streaming service, possibly with the option for affiliates to pick it up if they want?

Why would that be a better scenario for CBS? I'm sure using existing resources at the O&Os is cheaper for CBS than outsourcing the newscasts to competing stations in the markets. Outsourcing would also help promote the rival stations. Since this is likely just a quick cash grab for political ad revenue, the best scenario for CBS is the one that costs the company the least. Which is likely what they're doing.

The Ringer published an oral history of Stuart Scott's life and career yesterday to commemorate the fifth anniversary of his passing, in case anyone's interested.

Sports anchor Sherree Burruss has left WRC in D.C. to take on the same role at the CBS Sports HQ streaming network.

That's probably what happened now that WSB is owned by a hedge fund, which are always looking to cut costs whenever possible.

U-verse blacked out WISC (CBS/MNT, Madison, Wisc.) last night. The dispute doesn't seem to include DirecTV or the other Morgan Murphy-owned stations.
