nathannah 2446 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 1 hour ago, nickp said: A lot of people are laughing at the ACC Nah, for the most part this is returning quite a few stations to the Saturday status quo they had for at least a couple decades where they'd carry ESPN+ (the old regional sports version) or Raycom coverage. This should have been done back to when UPN was carrying XFLI games but the weekend syndie hour show market hadn't yet hard-crashed. They might be the thinner matches, but it's still college football on Saturdays and basketball on weeknights. It's better than Nielsen scratch-athons the 55th episode of dead sitcoms or Byron Allen filler... ...and this package will affect his HBCU coverage for the next season. Expect that to bump exclusively to MyNet affiliates and subchannels if it was on a CW station last year. Of course this is contingent on the CW renewing SInclair, which is still quite in limbo. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/19111-nexstar-acquires-75-of-the-cw/page/15/#findComment-288220 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nexstar and Gray, while two big broadcast companies, are about as far apart as can be when it comes to things like cable, digital and OTT... Raycom was producing the ACC games that aired on Bally, they just used Bally’s onscreen graphics for presentation purposes Interesting that 2 ACC homes markets (Pittsburgh and atlanta) don’t currently have a CW affiliate….Nexstar better start making some calls Edited July 14, 2023 by atlnews2 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/19111-nexstar-acquires-75-of-the-cw/page/15/#findComment-288221 Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmaxhanson 650 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) Is there any word that CW will debut a new graphics package and music to fully distance themselves from the days of airing young adult and DC Comics dramas? I'm sure the logo and name of the network itself will remain the same. They've also branded a few of their improted shows as CW Originals. But what about the people who may have seen it before either from visits up north or from clips online. This is kinda like when NBC at the height of Must See TV marketed reruns with the tagline 'If you haven't seen it, its new to you'.

Megatron81 263 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) WXSP aired ACC football in the finals years before they went to Fox Sports/Bally Sports in 2019. Also aired The Big10 Football/Men's Basketball from 2004/07 before Big10 Network. Before that WXMI Fox17 aired syndication Big10 Football/Men's Basketball for 9 years 95-04.

Plus, even though its' the second tier series, it still draws 750k-1 Million viewers. Getting this package may be what's needed to get affiliation groups on the fence on renewing to renews, since even if they only get 500k-750k, it's still better than what The CW typically draws, and better than the typical Weekend filler on CW/MyTV affilates. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/19111-nexstar-acquires-75-of-the-cw/page/15/#findComment-288544 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically, they only get around a million viewers when they're on network TV (like they are this weekend and next), so ideally, this should be beneficial for NASCAR, the network and the affiliates.

Apparently not. Backstory: After NBC terminated its contract to air Miss USA and Miss Universe because of Trump’s infamous comments about Mexicans in his speech announcing his candidacy for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, Reelz carried the 2015 telecast. It was included as part of Fox’s deal to broadcast Miss Universe starting in 2016, but moved back to a cable-exclusive telecast in 2020, when A+E Networks picked up the rights to carry Miss USA on FYI. Miss Teen USA (which will be livestreamed on The CW’s app and website on September 29, the same night as Miss USA) has been off linear TV much longer, having been on streaming exclusively since 2008 and last seen on TV for its 2007 edition on NBC. (NBC was apparently unable to broadcast it in 2008 because of a scheduling conflict with the Summer Olympics.) Given that most of the contestants in that pageant are underage (the age cutoff to be eligible to compete is 19), there are understandable reasons why the Miss Universe Organization has forgone a traditional Miss Teen USA telecast for 15 years.
