  1. I agree with that. But anything available free OTA, especially newscasts shouldn't be locked up behind a paywall.
  2. That can be said with radio and TV. So much homogenisation.
  3. This is going to be very bad if NexStar channels are all gone on DISH. I know DISH brings up WGN America being minimally-watched. The problem is that they have an identity crisis and the schedule's a complete trainwreck. They should decide whether to be a news channel or be a channel of syndicated reruns. I'm not sure who to blame with this dispute.
  4. Maybe for Out-of Town viewers. I know newspapers have been under paywalls for quite a few years now and some are free but require you to create an account. The fact that WGN America is not available on any streaming platform in 2020 is absurd. Cable and Satellite will continue to decline in popularity. Wonder if NewsNation would be more popular if it was on any streaming platform ?
  5. I don't know why most companies nowadays still don't put streaming services on TV Everywhere paywalls. It's 2020 and traditional pay TV is declining every year. This is a bad move by them and possibly a safety risk. Will they do this during severe weather events? I swear these station owners are not evolving with the times.
  6. I just don't see any CNN employees liking his style. I'd be embarrassed to work under a guy like him.
  7. Watch ESPN News and most of the screen is covered with sports betting info. The main program is in a box to the right.
  8. I thought David was a decent journalist too. Hope he lands on his feet somewhere soon.
  9. I'm sure it's going to be on all channels every single day if it happens, just like O.J.'s trial.
  10. So she came back right after the election was over. Wonder why she wasn't on for the last couple months?
  11. This show might last for a few years if the ratings remain good.
  12. I'm sure if she was up to it, she would have been on ABC at midnight on New Year's Day this year to say "This is 2020".
  13. Hope Al will be okay and his surgery goes well.
  14. I refuse to believe that there'd be a dispute with the channels that the company actually owns. A deal should be reached before the channels are dropped. What's next, a dispute with AT&T owned channels and Directv/Uverse?
  15. I hope he leaves, but even better, he retires and never runs another media corporation ever again. I'm sure anyone can run CNN better. I hope the new CNN president fixes everything that Zucker messed up.
  16. I can actually see why as their heads are somewhat similar. I'm sure NBC doesn't want any references to Matt anymore.
  17. Very cool! The top promo was funny! One of the reasons why Peter was one of the best!
  18. Maybe if Zucker leaves, maybe the new CEO will fix all the problems he created.
  19. WTOL, which used to be a sister to WOIO under Raycom, is the same way with anchors and reporters leaving after a short time. Their main competitor, WTVG, doesn't really have this problem.
  20. it looks like ESPN may possibly have more layoffs (possibly up to 700). You may remember ESPN's layoffs from 2017 caused longtime on-air employees to lose their jobs. https://awfulannouncing.com/espn/further-espn-layoffs-coming.html
