I personally could only see NBCSN go should they not be able to renew with EPL or the NHL, yet I can also see many of NBCSN's offerings moving to Peacock, USA, or CNBC.
I can see CBSSN closing with many of their programs moving to Paramount+, or MTV.
Many FS2 programs can potentially move to FBN.
I still hope the news is wrong with NBCSN about possibly closing.
CBSSN now airs Bellator MMA after formerly airing on Spike/Paramount Network. They are also getting the rights to a new auto racing series, and it's been moved to a more basic package on my local cable system, so I don't see them ceasing operations anytime soon, even if there's low ratings. CBSViacom has several low-budget and low rated channels that are somehow still hanging on.
FBN has been used for an overflow of Fox Sports programming in the past. Weekends are pretty much infomercials, even more than CNBC, so it should be no problem to carry sports on there too.

It's a Christmas Eve miracle . Nexstar and Dish have come to terms, and WGN America will be added to Sling TV in the near future.
I'm surprised too. I expected this to last for a few months considering how much Nexstar was asking for.

Most of the time I see on NBCSN is Mecum Auctions.
ESPNews hasn't been ESPNews since 2012.
The glory years:
Mecum Auctions is on there all the time, and I don't believe they have another partner, so would they make the jump over to Peacock?
I always loved that music package that ESPNnews used to use. The graphics were great too.

I mean, last night NBCSN was showing a night full of drone racing... which (even as a drone pilot) seems to me like it belongs on YouTube or another streaming service and not on linear cable.
NBCSN seems to show Dog Shows and American Ninja Warrior reruns when there's no live sports programming.
I would expect FS2, the CBS Sports Network, and the Olympic Channel to go before NBCSN. I'm surprised ESPNnews is still around, to be honest. It seems like at night, they're running their talk shows on a loop for a few hours and there's not many advertisers compared to ESPN or ESPN2.

Now there's a rumor out that NBCSN may be gone as a whole at the end of next year. Apparently NBC might move certain sports events to their other cable channels or Peacock.
I don't know if this is a good idea or not. It might be bad for smaller sports.

Meanwhile north of the border, TSN is finally rolling out a new insert graphics package, and unlike last time they had a major graphics update (last decade, where it took at 2-3 years for them to actually roll out every element since they only seemed to update the scoreboards at first, and then only use the new L3s/etc. around the 2013 Grey Cup, and then on SportsCentre after they got a set update).
Unsurprisingly, it's flat and boxy, and we also have "pane" L3s too. The World Junior Hockey Championships pre-tournament games tonight appear to be the first in-game use of them. The score box isn't that much different from what they had before.
It's OK, but could be better in my opinion.

Ohio senator Sherrod Brown sent a letter to both TEGNA and DIRECTV as well as FCC chair Ajit Pai to end the dispute. It was sent about two weeks ago but I wonder if that's what it took to end it once and for all.

Newsjunkie24: The News with Shepard Smith is a much better newscast than News Nation!!! It's certainly feels like a national newscast unlike news nation.
I like both equally. Shep's show has more name recognition compared to NN. I can't watch NN right now due to Nexstar's dispute with Dish, which I have to get TV.

I highly doubt that one. The Reidout is a ratings winner.
Plus, MSNBC is more popular with viewers. CNBC is mostly a business network, so going from Jim Cramer to Shep has got to be a slight trainwreck. Maybe the ratings would be better if it wasn't on a channel with a small, niche audience.

I haven't watch the show as I have other things I like to at 7PM. I always liked Shepherd Smith I was surprised he signed with CNBC I thought he'd have gone to MSNBC or CNN that is where I thought that Shepherd was going when he left Fox News.
There was no room for Shep at both MSNBC and CNN, which is probably why he's on CNBC. The 7:00 hour was mostly reruns prior to Shep's arrival.

Aloha Taylor posted on Facebook that she is retiring from KSWB. Her last day will be Thursday. You can catch her on 1, 4 and 6pm on KSWB.
She started at KGMB, worked her way to the mainland to KFMB, moved to WCCO for a year, back to San Diego at XETV and KSWB.
Cool first name.

I believe that Fox RSN's will not return on Dish until there deal with Sinclair is up for the local TV station and once they agree on a new deal is when RSN's return to Dish just my opinion.
If Sinclair forces Dish to carry the RSN'S, they will likely be carried again in the next Sinclair contract. Agreed.

Very nice. Like how it essentially replaces the bottom line.
I personally like the new graphics. I don't have a problem with how it looks.

Diane Deaton from WAFB is retiring after 37 years as meteorologist at the Baton Rouge station.
Her current role is morning meteorologist and her last day is December 18.
Steve Caparotta will fill her spot after her departure.
Deaton, among many others, deserves a nice, long break from the hurricane season from hell, whose scale none of us could have truly anticipated.
So for all of the work and sleepless nights Gulf & East coast meteorologists had to deal with this past summer and fall, I raise a huge glass to them.
Or for the past few years for that matter.

We were told to drop the Nexstar ticker tonight, but I don't know if that means a breakthrough or a total collapse.
It seems like there's no end in sight here.

Could CTM be moving to Times Square? Talks are just that at this point but apparently CBS liked having the show broadcast from its Viacom studios in Times Square for the election.
I say go for it since GMA hardly uses the exterior of Times Square in any form on camera anymore.

Why not give it a shot?

Will be interesting to see what changes Rashida makes to MSNBC. Phil was at NBC/MSNBC for so long.

In the scheme of things, DTC sports is long overdue. So much of the price of cable/satellite TV has been driven up by the cost of live sports, as well as the added "RSN Fees" that have been tacked on to virutally every cable/satellite bundle in existence. Let the fans pay for it, and if they can't, then it's time for the sports leagues to come back down to reality.
Agreed. I wonder how many viewers RSN'S actually get?

Dish has even put their own crawl on WGN America, blaming NexStar for the dispute, probably covering over NexStar's message.

This is why Bellator MMA moved to CBSSN.
I think CNBC is a much better fit than MSNBC. MSNBC aired Premier League Soccer, 2 years ago and it ticked off much of MSNBC'S audience looking for AM Joy.
