Certain Gray CW's are on there, while others are not for some odd reason. And since Nexstar owns The CW (partial stake), that deal was made for all CW stations, not just Nexstar-owned ones.

"Attention YouTube TV Subscribers, Saturday’s Marshall-NC State football game on WQCW the Tri-State CW will not be on YouTube TV. YouTube TV customers should contact YouTube TV through its YouTube TV Help Center in its app or online to ask YouTube to launch WQCW."

tyrannical bastard 3268 Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 (edited) It's like Nexstar is contracting their CW stations (and affiliates) on a station-by-station basis. Much unlike the bulk deal they were forced to make with CBS that took away WJMN. I figured the Marshall game on the CW was the reason Gray was getting a lot of requests to have WQCW put on YouTube TV. Of course to the average viewer, they aren't aware of all of the "sausage-making" processes it actually takes to get this done. Much of it is probably Nexstar posturing in the negotiating process, especially since they own WOWK in the market.

WPGA already dropped ABC one time, objecting to the content of some of the network's programs. I don't know if they'd find Fox to be any better.

Gray owns WPGA now, so the content of network programming doesn’t matter; all that matters is whether Gray can snap up a major network affiliation. (BTW, WPGA, under Register, was with Fox for the station’s first six months of operation until WGXA took over the affiliation.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For ABC dropping WPGA at the time was probably the best result, considering this happened when he was forced to sell his radio stations. There was no way they could continue to have that affiliation and with him now gone, things are more normal under Gray, and Grey's Anatomy (the show he objected to, along with Desperate Housewives) is still on the air all these years later.

Megatron81 169 Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 I wonder who will be airing the D-Back next season in The Valley Of Sun Gray or Scripps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably depends on who is able to get more stations on board to air the games. After all, the footprints of MLB teams are generally much larger than those of the NBA and MLB; they might even decide to stick to the ad hoc cable channel they set up after DSG dumped them, though with the Suns and Coyotes on OTA and the Cardinals generally airing cable games on OTA anyway per NFL rules, they'd be the only Big Four sports team to keep most of their games exclusive to pay TV if they went that route.

Discovery, Lionsgate and Jonathan Katz on a pair of new streaming and OTA channels launching New Years Day The irony is Katz is literally launching his new venture with copycats of the very networks he helped launch: The365 is basically a rehash of Bounce (interestingly and kind of fittingly, the name harkens McDonald’s old 365Black campaign), and Outlaw is basically Grit. Also, Gray already carries the “original recipe” networks on several of its stations (including in some Scripps markets), so they’re basically swapping two identical networks for the ones Katz is copying.

Adam MadMan 246 Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 The Advocate is reporting that WVUE is talking with the New Orleans Pelicans to air a small selection of games. This is apparently a result of a one-year deal Diamond Sports signed with the NBA to allow teams to offer up to ten games on over the air stations in exchange for staying with Bally Sports for the season. Basically testing the waters that the Suns and Jazz are already swimming in (along with the NHL's Golden Knights and Coyotes). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever games they pick up will likely be primetime spots that won't interfere much with Fox's lineup and be shows the viewers won't mind being pre-empted or pushed to late night.
