I couldn't disagree with you more. MSNBC is absolutely the Fox News of the Democratic Party. The amount of stories they run about Trump and Republicans being the end of society is insane. I had two different family members who were addicted to MSNBC and both separately turned it off because they couldn't deal with it. Whatever goes on at MSNBC is not journalism.

Yes, they have recieved a tentative investment from Amazon that *should* keep them afloat through the 2024 mlb season

Wouldn't trust that, I don't think listings have been updated yet

For actual breaking news, CNN is far better than MSNBC or Fox News becuase they don't try to have three "analysts" shove a political opinion down your throat. They are actually just telling the story of what's going on. That is great for viewership when something big happens (when more "regular" people watch cable news) but doesn't work when it's just partisans watching.

They had an actual secondary set for awhile. What happened to it?

From Warner Bro's upfront here is a look at CNN's new graphics

WLNY i think is an outlier. They aren't recieved OTA in NYC.

My understanding is that WBD is not looking to sell that share

Suns Legacy Par

They say they have a contractual right of first refusal so they may have some standing.

I doubt they would, but it would sort of make sense to have NBC News Now replace it on the subchannels it currently airs on

Payment has been made

Diamond Sports has officially missed their interest payment and is entering the 30-day grace period. If they don't get a financial miracle they will file for Chapter 11 on March 15th. For the time being, nothing will change for the Bally Sports RSNs operationally. If they file for bankruptcy and start missing payments to teams, that's when major issues begin. https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Issues/2023/02/15/Media/diamond-sports-group.aspx

This is totally incorrect. The College Football graphics changed with the NFL in 2020.

I haven't watched news networks lately. They tend to get very repetitive and I don't have cable so they can be a nusiance to watch. If I'm really intrested in the news, I'll watch World News Tonight or local WNBC. The only news network I've watched consistently lately, much to my surprise, is Scripps News (formally Newsy). They tend to but pretty even handed with their coverage (unlike MSNBC or Fox News), and they are easy to access OTA. I also enjoyed CNN's Election Coverage, which was very focused on the numbers coming in, and not 6 people on a desk talking about how great things were going for Party X or Party Y.

I would guess that a significant portion of CW affiliates still carry local sports during weekend afternoons. Tape-delays make more sense.

Here's the press release from LIV: https://www.livgolf.com/news/liv-golf-and-the-cw-announcement

The placement of KPIX just looks so wrong. Otherwise the graphics looks really good

Obviously a totally different situation, but a USFL game was moved to CNBC at 11 sharp to avoid local news and SNL this year

One note about WINK, it appears they are sending the NFL on CBS and SEC on CBS to WXCW

The graphics in general look great, but the sound effects are incredibly distracting

Seems like they are keeping the same base design for their new graphics.
