I don't see the GOP controlled FCC will go through that Nexstar has to sell WPIX or they buy it outright maybe since the rules will be relaxed maybe Nexstar will own WPIX outright. Yup, The CW app is free. Altice is different name but can't get rid of the Cablevision smell out of it LOL.

 

I feel that Nexstar & Altice will come to an agreement in the next few months in my opinion than they will with MSG RSN.

That's a big if.  It didn't happen under the last GOP controlled Pai FCC. Who knows how long it will take to add a GOP member, right now it will be 2-2.

Paramount may yank all of their channels (including ALL CBS O&O AND affiliates) from YouTube TV tomorrow if they don't reach an agreement...

UPDATE:

If a deal is not reached, the channels are set to go dark tonight at 11pm ET.  And if there is an extended outage, YTTV customers can get an $8 bill credit...

A "short-term deal extension" was granted for continued negotiations between Paramount and YouTubeTV.

CBS clearly asking Google to bail them out of their debts and Google is telling them to take a hike. Probably the first time in a while I'll side with Google here

Google has always been a good "cable" operator.  They told Diamond to take a hike with their RSNs and have had relatively few disruptions.  The only notable one I can recall was the Disney one in 2021 that took down their channels for a day or two.

Outside CBS, you just need Paramount+ because of all the repeats on their channels, and if there's a customer that'll walk because you lost MTV2 and Spongebobnet....I mean Nicktoons, they're beyond help.

They did yank MLB Network a couple of years ago, but they're now available separately.
