I'm surprised too. I expected this to last for a few months considering how much Nexstar was asking for.

Mecum Auctions is on there all the time, and I don't believe they have another partner, so would they make the jump over to Peacock? I always loved that music package that ESPNnews used to use. The graphics were great too.

NBCSN seems to show Dog Shows and American Ninja Warrior reruns when there's no live sports programming. I would expect FS2, the CBS Sports Network, and the Olympic Channel to go before NBCSN. I'm surprised ESPNnews is still around, to be honest. It seems like at night, they're running their talk shows on a loop for a few hours and there's not many advertisers compared to ESPN or ESPN2.

Now there's a rumor out that NBCSN may be gone as a whole at the end of next year. Apparently NBC might move certain sports events to their other cable channels or Peacock. https://worldsoccertalk.com/2020/12/23/nbcsns-days-are-numbered-as-a-channel-predicts-tv-industry-reporter/ I don't know if this is a good idea or not. It might be bad for smaller sports.

It's OK, but could be better in my opinion.

Ohio senator Sherrod Brown sent a letter to both TEGNA and DIRECTV as well as FCC chair Ajit Pai to end the dispute. It was sent about two weeks ago but I wonder if that's what it took to end it once and for all.

This must be one of the most severe cases of Covid-19 among any TV newsperson if he's in the ICU. Hoping he makes a full recovery.

Maybe she'll retire to Hawaii.

I wondered if she was Hawaiian. Maybe she'll retire to Hawaii. Beautiful place.

Cool first name.

If Sinclair forces Dish to carry the RSN'S, they will likely be carried again in the next Sinclair contract. Agreed.

I personally like the new graphics. I don't have a problem with how it looks.

Or for the past few years for that matter.

It seems like there's no end in sight here.

Why not give it a shot?

Will be interesting to see what changes Rashida makes to MSNBC. Phil was at NBC/MSNBC for so long.

Agreed. I wonder how many viewers RSN'S actually get?

Can't believe this!, Dan was there for a long time. Wonder who will now host HQ?

Good Riddance!

Dish has even put their own crawl on WGN America, blaming NexStar for the dispute, probably covering over NexStar's message.

I agree with that. But anything available free OTA, especially newscasts shouldn't be locked up behind a paywall.

Not too bad.

That can be said with radio and TV. So much homogenisation.

This is going to be very bad if NexStar channels are all gone on DISH. I know DISH brings up WGN America being minimally-watched. The problem is that they have an identity crisis and the schedule's a complete trainwreck. They should decide whether to be a news channel or be a channel of syndicated reruns. I'm not sure who to blame with this dispute.

Maybe for Out-of Town viewers. I know newspapers have been under paywalls for quite a few years now and some are free but require you to create an account. The fact that WGN America is not available on any streaming platform in 2020 is absurd. Cable and Satellite will continue to decline in popularity. Wonder if NewsNation would be more popular if it was on any streaming platform ?
