Among the many tributes to Ted Turner yesterday include inside the NBA: And AEW, with a surprise guest::

The Ohio AG says an agreement with Nexstar was made so WKYC and WBNS would maintain independent newsrooms: https://www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov/Media/News-Releases/April-2026/Yost-Reaches-Agreement-with-Nexstar-to-Preserve-Lo#:~:text=(COLUMBUS%2C Ohio) — Ohio,our democracy%2C” Yost said.

Here's something interesting. All of CW Sports will be available live on the ESPN Unlimited app: https://espnpressroom.com/us/press-releases/2026/04/the-cw-network-and-espn-team-up-to-stream-more-than-800-hours-of-live-events-from-cw-sports-on-the-espn-app/

Gonna put this under here. The CW is the new home for special events from WWE's NXT: https://www.wwe.com/article/the-cw-network-acquires-exclusive-broadcast-rights-to-wwe-nxt-premium-live-events Peacock was the home to them until their contract to carry the WWE Network expired last month.

It was already announced that Tony Dungy was no longer with NBC.

Also, looking at the press release announcing Leslie Lopez being added to the network she might pop up to do forecasts on WABC as needed: https://www.detpress.com/abcnews/pressrelease/leslie-lopez-named-abc-news-meteorologist/ As it says: In this role, Lopez will work closely with ABC News’ chief meteorologist and chief climate correspondent Ginger Zee, “GMA” contributor and WABC-TV weather anchor Sam Champion, senior meteorologist and WABC-TV chief meteorologist Lee Goldberg, meteorologist Somara Theodore and the ABC News Weather, Climate & Science Unit across the ABC News Group for all programs and platforms, including “Good Morning America,” “World News Tonight with David Muir,” the 24/7streaming news channel ABC News Live, ABC Owned Television Station WABC-TV and more.

After weeks away, Leslie Lopez just announced on-air that she's leaving the station to join the network: https://abc7.com/post/leslie-lopez-named-abc-news-meteorologist/18848038/ She's filled in a bunch of times on GMA, so this feels like the logical next step for her. Says her first day with ABC is Friday.

WBAL-TV sports director and radio voice of the Baltimore Ravens Gerry Sandusky has announced his retirement from both gigs: https://www.wbaltv.com/article/gerry-sandusky-retires-wbal-tv-sports-director-voice-of-the-ravens/70907285 His last newscast is April 17th. And yes, he's heard everything about who he shares a name with.

Like the level of backlash when Nexstar bought Tribune was nothing compared to Sinclair's attempt.

It was announced this morning she's coming back April 6th.

Alisyn Camerota has joined Scripps News and has a show that debuts Friday night: https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/alisyn-camerota-returns-scripps-news-connected-1236696600/ And they're launching a sports FAST Channel tomorrow: https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/scripps-sports-network-free-streaming-channel-debuts-1236696054/

CBS News is going through another round of layoffs. As a result, CBS News Radio is shutting down on May 22nd: https://radioinsight.com/headlines/343855/cbs-news-radio-to-shut-down-in-may/
