If you had just the 11 in the box, that would be a pretty good interim news logo, IMO. The two eyes are overkill.

That's a big ol' bug for WAFB.

WE. GET. IT. Geez, you’re getting annoying with this.

The full-screen touchdown/Real Profile Pic of the players still looks out of place, though the execution is better than previous, IMO. Overall, not bad for a refresh.

All comic book player illustrations replaced with pictures generated from AI in real time.

I'm shocked it's taken this long to announce it - figured this would be something Nexstar would pursue for the CW, especially since it would likely be a time-buy.

So call letters are meaningless, except in this instance where they are the stronger brand, but then maybe they’ll eventually drop the stronger brand anyway because that makes sense.

Just saw a promo for "Weather Command" where one of the claims is they might even "debate the data". Oh boy, wonder what THAT could mean. /s

So, are we starting a new betting pool on when the schedule will change again?

They put up a SIGN too for this "win"? From everyone's favorite site:

I’m sure Shep wasn’t interested in sticking around after his show was cancelled, especially when CNN has a prime time slot that would be perfect for a known name. They might even be able to get him at a lower price since the only other major outlet who might be interested would be CBS. Hmm, maybe an Anderson Cooper like deal where he could be a correspondent on 60 Minutes?

From the article: No shocker here - Nexstar gonna run it cheap. Probably already looking for sports willing to buy their airtime for weekend programming.

Did NFL Network just stealth debut a new logo?

This is probably more likely that the return of network branding. I do wonder if Nexstar will continue the old CW Plus feed/service - if that still exists.

I'd be shocked if anything NewsNation ended up on the CW. Maybe a NN-branded magazine show for the weekend, at most.

Honestly, why? The CW for those operators is likely on a secondary channel or HD subchannel and probably runs on automatic. Why blow that up over 14 hours of programming a week?

Sounds like it will end up a combination of MyNetworkTV and Dabl - cheap DIY shows and Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives ripoffs and the like, with some syndicated deals in the mix (hey, maybe they convince the rightsholders to move In The Heat of the Night and Blue Bloods here ). Maybe some small sports league will pony up some cash to buy time for games to be broadcast. Especially considering the content deal with Paramount and WBD is only for 2022-23 (though could be extended), I'm not expecting much from the new CW.

That or a way to repeat hours more easily. Fox Weather sure seems very much in the experimental stage.

Well, if barely anyone is going to watch it, might as well not pay as much to program it, I guess.

187,000 total viewers for The Chris Cuomo Interview. 14,000 in the 25-54 demo. https://www.mediaite.com/daily-ratings/cable-news-ratings-tuesday-july-26-lawrence-odonnell-leads-msnbc/

If I was NewsNation, I would be hitting the NYC area hard in hopes there's enough people who might be interested. After all, he is a Cuomo. I can't for the life of me think of who those people are, but....

That's easy, it'll never have breaking news. It's not live.

This will be chasing the lawyer and political money - hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up with a segment sponsored by a sports book since that money was still flying around for a bit. This isn’t for ratings, it’s for revenue - and it’s a whole hour they control the ad slots. If it gets some eyeballs, great, but that’s lagniappe. And it also gives them “unique” content for the local CBS News steaming stations, which explains the branding.

First episode and they already got a lawyer sponsorship? I think that should answer why CBS is doing this. Also gives something they can run on the CBSN locals that's not just a repeat of the local news.
