Chuck made the announcement during NBATV's postgame coverage of Game 4 of the NBA Finals. He'll be sorely missed after next season, especially when you see the garbage fire that is the studio show of the main NBA broadcaster ESPN. https://awfulannouncing.com/tnt-sports/charles-barkley-retirement-announcement-next-year.html

French Open to TNT Sports officially official with Max, TBS, & truTV also aboard. https://press.wbd.com/us/media-release/tnt-sports-reaches-expansive-agreement-french-tennis-federation-be-new-home-roland

As WBD continues to contemplate sticking with the NBA under a 4th nat'l TV package, they gain rights for the French Open from NBC & likely Tennis Channel. https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/warner-bros-discovery-french-open-us-rights-1236028911/

Julie Haener, after 27 years, will retire from KTVU (FOX San Francisco) on June 20th after 27 years there. https://www.ktvu.com/video/1466060

A day after TEGNA lost preseason rights for the Arizona Cardinals from KPNX (NBC) to Gray's KPHO (CBS) in Phoenix.

Not FanDuel's initial TV presence as there's already FanDuel TV (formerly TVG), a horse racing network interspersed with sports programming, particularly in the weekday morning hours.

TBH, whatever name that was gonna be brought up for the new RSN, there's going to be ppl that'll knock it around because that's the nature of the beast that is social media, although while generic, the name at least labels the purpose of the RSN, it's better than coming up with crazy names like Venu Sports.

Well, it's going to happen come October with the launch of generically-named Chicago Sports Network. https://chicago.suntimes.com/sports-media/2024/06/03/chicago-sports-network-will-be-new-home-of-white-sox-bulls-blackhawks-beginning-in-october

I could care less about news branding, but maybe WABC in New York felt more like going back to tradition considering their history & decided against ABC network branding. Not the only ones in NYC doing it as WNBC does it opting for "News 4 New York", sister NBC O&O WRC in Washington, DC does the same with "News4". Also notice the websites for the 2 ABC flagships, you'd think abc7.com would be for their main flagship, but it actually goes to KABC in L.A. while it's abc7ny.com for NYC.

And with that, that'll take care of the transition of ABC O&O's to unified news graphics just like the other Big 4 O&O's.

Agree, sure beats the "C Clarity" music that feels less newsy IMO. Bit surprised KPNX didn't use the updated NBC Peacock logo with the white removed considering being in the Phoenix area, seeing promos they air feature the new Peacock alongside the 12News logo.
