I don't think either of the two airs in San Francisco or Denver as well

• Denver

• Fort Myers/Naples
• San Diego

From what I Can tell by looking at the shows website, these are the 6 markets that don't air the program.

Steve Wilkos wasn't aired for 2 & half years after FOX17 didn't renew it in fall of 2021 returned in Jan 2024 when CW7 changed things around after losing The CW which they didn't need make changes other than primetime in my opinion. Karamo wasn't added until March of 2023 on WXSP and now CW6.

I know a streaming deal has been discussed/in the works for over a year now, but anyone else think selling to Hulu and Peacock is a somewhat deliberate F-U to CBS on Sony’s part as their legal drama continues?

I've stopped following the legal drama since it has become a game of pong. And I'm not talking about ping pong, I'm talking about Pong for the Atari 2600.

 

I believe due to CBS's inability to focus on priorities that money could instead be invested in as well as the lack of money that parent company Paramount Global has, that Sony will be the victor.

 

CBS should just walk away while they have the chance. Not only would it keep a shred of dignity in the relationship between Sony and CBS but it would also prevent a disaster involving those shows and CBS owned stations that carry said shows.

 

But no, CBS will never walk and those shows will go to their competitors out of spite. I don't think any CBS owned stations who rely on those shows will ever have a ratings advantage again.

Also Hulu/Disney+ and Peacock have all-in marketing where everything is always marketed as being on them clearly with full-throated spending and development, while Paramount+ is still stuck on CBS All Access's tech stack and has severe underinvestment as PG cuts to the bone. Sony cooperates well with Disney already, while Peacock has been open to content from other sources.

 

The big thing to note here is if ratings go down OTA, especially as subscribers are able to watch shows ad-free if they have that plan. The tie-in advertisers will be just fine, but the local advertisers (which have declined to an absurd number of home remodeling services and 'we do it all [not well but we do it all!] HVAC/pluming/electric' contractors, some of which whom have farmed out ads to AI) will lose a lot of eyeballs, along with any local news promos.

 

But after last year's never-ending mudslinging fest with campaign ads, both services now can focus on advertising their ad-free tier as free of them, and though you'll still have the diehards that will DVR or VHS the shows, this deal will end a lot of 'where can I watch this' questions if the shows are pre-empted, just like those who watch Days of Our Lives now have a show that no breaking news will ever pre-empt.
