Diamond Sports has officially missed their interest payment and is entering the 30-day grace period. If they don't get a financial miracle they will file for Chapter 11 on March 15th. For the time being, nothing will change for the Bally Sports RSNs operationally. If they file for bankruptcy and start missing payments to teams, that's when major issues begin. https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Issues/2023/02/15/Media/diamond-sports-group.aspx

This is totally incorrect. The College Football graphics changed with the NFL in 2020.

I haven't watched news networks lately. They tend to get very repetitive and I don't have cable so they can be a nusiance to watch. If I'm really intrested in the news, I'll watch World News Tonight or local WNBC. The only news network I've watched consistently lately, much to my surprise, is Scripps News (formally Newsy). They tend to but pretty even handed with their coverage (unlike MSNBC or Fox News), and they are easy to access OTA. I also enjoyed CNN's Election Coverage, which was very focused on the numbers coming in, and not 6 people on a desk talking about how great things were going for Party X or Party Y.

I would guess that a significant portion of CW affiliates still carry local sports during weekend afternoons. Tape-delays make more sense.

Here's the press release from LIV: https://www.livgolf.com/news/liv-golf-and-the-cw-announcement

The placement of KPIX just looks so wrong. Otherwise the graphics looks really good

Obviously a totally different situation, but a USFL game was moved to CNBC at 11 sharp to avoid local news and SNL this year

It looks like something a Twitter user came up with as the answer to the "what if fox kept the RSNs" question.

They aren't totally right wing, it is a NYC station after all, but every once in awhile they have their GM go on air to complain about ranked choice voting.

Their first game was simulcast on NBC

With the NBA preseason beginning, both MSG and TNT debut new graphic

Totally agree on the clock. If you're going to use a rectangular design for everything else, the one non rectangle is just going to look weird.

One note about WINK, it appears they are sending the NFL on CBS and SEC on CBS to WXCW

The graphics in general look great, but the sound effects are incredibly distracting

Seems like they are keeping the same base design for their new graphics.

Can't really develop a brand if you rebrand a year after going OTA.
