I don't know why most companies nowadays still don't put streaming services on TV Everywhere paywalls. It's 2020 and traditional pay TV is declining every year. This is a bad move by them and possibly a safety risk. Will they do this during severe weather events? I swear these station owners are not evolving with the times.

Strongly agree with that!

When was Aaron on MSNBC?

I just don't see any CNN employees liking his style. I'd be embarrassed to work under a guy like him.

Watch ESPN News and most of the screen is covered with sports betting info. The main program is in a box to the right.

Very sad! May she R.I.P.

I thought David was a decent journalist too. Hope he lands on his feet somewhere soon.

I'm sure it's going to be on all channels every single day if it happens, just like O.J.'s trial.

So she came back right after the election was over. Wonder why she wasn't on for the last couple months?

This show might last for a few years if the ratings remain good.

I'm sure if she was up to it, she would have been on ABC at midnight on New Year's Day this year to say "This is 2020".

Hope Al will be okay and his surgery goes well.

I refuse to believe that there'd be a dispute with the channels that the company actually owns. A deal should be reached before the channels are dropped. What's next, a dispute with AT&T owned channels and Directv/Uverse?

I hope he leaves, but even better, he retires and never runs another media corporation ever again. I'm sure anyone can run CNN better. I hope the new CNN president fixes everything that Zucker messed up.

I agree.

I can actually see why as their heads are somewhat similar. I'm sure NBC doesn't want any references to Matt anymore.

Very cool! The top promo was funny! One of the reasons why Peter was one of the best!

Maybe if Zucker leaves, maybe the new CEO will fix all the problems he created.

WTOL, which used to be a sister to WOIO under Raycom, is the same way with anchors and reporters leaving after a short time. Their main competitor, WTVG, doesn't really have this problem.

it looks like ESPN may possibly have more layoffs (possibly up to 700). You may remember ESPN's layoffs from 2017 caused longtime on-air employees to lose their jobs. https://awfulannouncing.com/espn/further-espn-layoffs-coming.html

I feel bad for Brooke. I think she has more longevity on CNN compared to Kate or Brianna. I've said before that Zucker is the main problem with why CNN is going downhill. The whole yelling panels haven't worked. As for all new anchors, I would really hate to see staples like Wolf Blitzer and Anderson Cooper leave, although Wolf will probably retire in 5 years or less. (he says he's not ready yet). I think Erin Burnett is better for financial news and always thought she was better at CNBC. I know many people think Jake Tapper should have been the permanent host for "This Week" 10 years ago. Chris Cuomo seems burned out but wants to stay at CNN. I'm not sure about what Don Lemmon would do, maybe anchor at MSNBC. I wish AT&T would realize that Zucker has ruined nearly everything he's touched in his career and force him to resign, but instead they let him run all of their sports broadcasting divisions too. I'm not sure if he's ruined those assets too.

It seems like a demotion for Brooke if this it's what's happening here. I think she has more name recognition over Brianna and Kate.

I feel really bad for Brooke right now. I know Jake's very qualified for the job, but it looks like Brooke has no say in this whole thing. This seems possibly very shady. They also mention Erin Burnett. Does she even do anything else besides anchoring OutFront or moderating debates on occasion? She seemed to do much more with CNBC compared to now on CNN.

About DIsh, I've always enjoyed their service, but I'm really getting tired of their disputes. I've had them for over 15 years. They claim that networks want to charge them much higher prices, which I don't agree with. But it seems like whenever a dispute happens, most of the time, channels get dropped. And with 7 disputes going on with them, I refuse to believe that it's just the owners of stations, and that Dish has to be part of the problem. It seems like you don't hear about much disputes with Comcast/Xfinity.

I agree. With antennas becoming more popular, why not move all the games over the air for free like they did in the old days, and have the teams themselves produce the games?
