Where it will still be branded as NewsNation and Banfield simultaneously? I found it interesting that the commercial they ran tonight, they only used NewsNation branding and not WGN America branding. Makes you wonder... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think that Nexstar can afford to run *one* news program on *one* cable channel for quite a while longer. Spectrum News 1 gets MORE viewers in Southern California than NewsNation gets most nights nationwide. Your argument is a piss poor one since Spectrum has a premium demographic audience that NewsNation will NEVER get. NewsNation is DEAD. Never has been alive. The biggest laugh I get everyday is their promos claiming it's live at 8 pm when it airs on Spectrum SoCal live from 5 to 8 PM. Sell WGN America now as its losing value everyday. Running public service freebies isn't serving the shareholders. Edited January 9 by CalItalian2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spectrum News has the advantage of being a 'start channel' on Spectrum boxes that many viewers don't change because they don't know what that feature is on a Spectrum box, and thanks to the Weather Channel's programming strategy, the one place you know you can get the weather at fixed times, no matter what. It does serve a need, and does have an audience...and it also has sports team tie-ins, so the viewership is there. Meanwhile NewsNation has to market to a bunch of out-of-demographic cranks who took the removal of Blue Bloods and In the Heat of the Night reruns in primetime as a personal affront. Without getting rid of their rerun programming, WGNA just won't build the audience they want. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Running public service freebies isn't serving the shareholders. Out of curiosity, what is the viewership numbers for Spectrum News 1 LA? Its not covered by Nielsen and have not seen any tangible numbers released by Spectrum comparing viewership numbers. Spectrum is only in about 1.25 million homes in the LA market so it would be a very tall order to be getting higher viewership numbers than NewsNation that is available to 75 million households. This means that 10% of spectrum users are turning into Spectrum News which is not happening. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
