I doubt they would, but it would sort of make sense to have NBC News Now replace it on the subchannels it currently airs on

Might as well. It already streams free everywhere and would be an easy switch for the 2½ people who watched LX. Then again, NBC may not like News Daily to air on a non-NBC station, but whatever

NBCLX seems like something that could've been a one-hour show on WMAQ America -- er, NBC News Now.

 

More like a clone of "Cheddar News"....dumbing things down for Gen Z....

 

At least it's not as ill-conceived as the TBD network....that's like trying to surf the internet on a landline phone.

TBD has drifted some from its original internet content format in the last year; it added reruns of Wipeout, Fear Factor and TruTV's World's Dumbest, which now populate the network's nighttime lineup. Not that it was always focused solely on online content and viral videos, since it used to air documentaries and indie films as well until 2021 (although it dropped the indie films about a year or two before).

 

So, it's not necessarily targeted mostly towards Gen Z anymore, it's trying to lean more into Millennials, too.

The irony in that is TruTV in itself.   They didn't want to be "Court TV" anymore.  Enter ION, and they bring it back!

 

So now, you have a TruTV clone...

Technically, the resurrection of Court TV by Scripps predated that company's purchase of Ion by about 15 months.

This occurred a couple of weeks back. Kevin Stitt is leaning into the far-right culture war against the LGBTQ+ community (not exactly the smartest move when even a sizable chunk of Republicans support same-sex marriage and anti-discrimination laws protecting that community) by justifying his veto, but it's mainly tied to a dispute between Stitt and the Oklahoma Senate over his tax credit and education proposals (including a voucher-style tax credit for use in private schools), which resulted in Stitt vetoing any Senate-backed bills to pressure that chamber's leadership to pass his proposals into law.

 

However, it's garnered him criticism even among Oklahomans (myself included, as I grew up watching PBS programming on OETA and, when OETA ran it as a secondary PBS station for Oklahoma City, KAUT—not just PBS Kids programs, but the Oklahoma News Report, when it was still a five-night-a-week broadcast, and selected other shows) for jeopardizing OETA's future to score political points.
