So will Bally Sports be involved with the MLB this year? I know that they are out of the southwest.

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

According to the Futon Critic ABC will only be airing Monday Night Countdown on December 11 and on Christmas and before the Saturday games. They were already scheduled to air a game on 12/11. So that would mean only two more Wheel preemptions the rest of the football season after this coming Monday, with one of them being on Christmas night. King World probably put their foot down. http://www.thefutoncritic.com/showatch/monday-night-football/listings/

 

 

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

They're always good with breaking news. 

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.

Looks like CBS 2 CBS News New York is on a temporary set.

 

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

If WLNY (NY) is an indication, lots of judge shows, repeats of Drew Barrymore, More Judge Judy reruns, and CBS News City Name at 9 pm.  Don't get overly excited.  

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

 Root Sports in Seattle is majority owned by the Mariners. I think the most likely outcome there is the Kraken buying WBD’s share and having a NESN joint ownership situation. 

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

They won't get anywhere as it is my understanding that their deal expired. Unless Diamond Sports has any options to renew the deal in their current contract, they're screwed. Bankruptcy courts will protect your position in current contracts that are in force, but they can't protect you in contracts that have expired.

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

NBCLX is shutting down.

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

If no payment by Friday, the Reds will be the first to abandon Bally Sports.

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.

Their College Football broadcasts this past season still used the same graphic package for the 6th straight season. This is probably because they are waiting to do a full rebrand for all their football broadcasts with Super Bowl LVII as the launching point. 

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.

Primetime tape-delays in between The World's Funniest Animals and Penn & Teller? Or will...GASP!!!...CW start carrying weekend daytime sports programming?

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 only problem I could see would be on Saturdays if SNL were to move to 11/10 and, in the fall,  a football game was still in progress. What time would SNL start?

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

The Trail Blazers have a new scoreboard that is totally not inspired by Fox's NFL graphics, we promise

It looks like something a Twitter user came up with as the answer to the "what if fox kept the RSNs" question. 

TheGrio is launching weeknight news programs on October 24th. The shows are TheGrio with Eboni K. Williams at 6 p.m. ET and TheGrio with Marc Lamont Hill at 7 p.m.

Why would PIX carry it? Maybe Nexstar will start a Cut-in or news service for affiliates where they provide special reports for affiliates kinda like FOX does. Why would FOX 5 carry it either. FOX 5 kinda has a right-wing scant to it. Some of the stories and questions they have sound right-wing.

They aren't totally right wing, it is a NYC station after all, but every once in awhile they have their GM go on air to complain about ranked choice voting.

I like the smaller score bug and the color matchup with the team jerseys. Unfortunately, it kinda goes downhill from there.
 

The theme sounds like something a SoundCloud rapper made in 30 mins and decided not to use. The pillbox shaped clock might’ve gone over better in 2002. And what’s with the recent affinity for stretched out fonts at ESPN? Did they hire WJZ’s creative director?

Totally agree on the clock. If you're going to use a rectangular design for everything else, the one non rectangle is just going to look weird.
