---|---|
2 | The Al Jazeera Media Network announces that they will acquire Current TV from an ownership group fronted by Al Gore and Joel Hyatt, with the intention to replace it with an American version of its Al Jazeera News network later in 2013.[1] The announcement becomes the catalyst in Time Warner Cable's decision to drop Current TV from its systems, as TWC plans to drop several channels due to low viewership and to contract renegotiations within the year.[2][3] |
Cox Communications removes eight stations owned by Raycom Media in six markets due to a retransmission dispute. The markets affected were Cleveland (two stations), Baton Rouge, Tucson, Lake Charles, Louisiana, Richmond (two stations), and Panama City, Florida.[4] | |
5 | For the first time since 2002, VH1 changes its logo font (VH+1, with the H+ mashed together) and adopts several new slogans such as "We Complete You", to reflect their conversion to a broader entertainment channel.[5] VH1 Classic and VH1 Soul did not have logo changes. Also, Food Network changed their logotype to a slightly less-serifed type of lettering the following day.[6] |
7 | Univision Communications rebrands its TeleFutura network as UniMás.[7] |
8 | ESPN issues an apology involving Brent Musburger's comments he made about Alabama quarterback A. J. McCarron and his girlfriend, Katherine Webb, during the telecast of the 2013 BCS National Championship Game.[8] A week later, Musberger said, live and on the air, that sideline reporter Holly Rowe was "smoking hot".[9] |
ABC moves Jimmy Kimmel Live! to the 11:35 p.m. (ET) slot, putting it in direct competition with NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and CBS's Late Show with David Letterman. Nightline moves to the 12:35 a.m. (ET) timeslot and will expand to a primetime hour-long edition that will air on Friday nights in the 9 p.m. (ET) timeslot starting in March.[10] | |
10 | After only one season, Britney Spears announces that she will leave The X Factor (amid rumors and tensions between her and the show after the conclusion of the second season) to return to recording.[11] |
11 | Sinclair Broadcast Group announces it will sell CW affiliate WLWC/Providence, Rhode Island to OTA Broadcasting, LLC for $13.75 million, pending FCC approval.[12] |

18 | NRJ TV acquires 2 stations owned by Titan Broadcast Management. It acquires Estrella TV affiliate KTNC/San Francisco for $13.5 million and independent station KUBE/Houston for $19 million. Titan will continue to operate both stations upon the sale's consummation. The acquisition of KTNC will create a legal duopoly in the San Francisco market with MundoFox affiliate KCNS (which was bought by NRJ, a company which Titan holds a minority equity stake, for $15 million in 2011).[18] |
Time Warner Cable announces that they will no longer accept ads for guns or any form of firearms on all its cable systems. The move comes after an ad from the National Rifle Association (which in turn was a response to a plan that is being implemented by the Obama Administration to issue a ban on assault weapons in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting) began airing on The Sportsman Channel, which TWC happens to offer on their systems[19] | |
20 | Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice joins CBS News as a contributor/commentator.[20] |
24 | Fox affiliate WXXA/Albany officially discontinues its 5 and 11 p.m. newscasts, concentrating instead on its morning and 10 p.m. newscasts. The move is related to WXXA's shared services agreement with ABC affiliate WTEN, which has its own newscasts at 5 and 11 p.m.[21] |
After years of being "bumped" due to the show "running out of time", Matt Damon exacts revenge on Jimmy Kimmel by taking over as host of this date's airing of Jimmy Kimmel Live![22] | |

28 | Major League Baseball's Los Angeles Dodgers confirm the formation of a new regional sports network, SportsNet LA, in partnership with Time Warner Cable. The network, whose content will be controlled by the Dodgers, will air Dodgers broadcasts beginning in 2014 (a 25-year deal estimated at $7–8 billion and subject to MLB approval), supplanting incumbent rightsholders Prime Ticket and KCAL-TV.[25] |
Fox Television Stations announces its purchase of the Capitol Broadcasting-owned duopoly in the Charlotte market: WJZY (The CW) and WMYT-TV (MyNetworkTV).[26][27] The $18 million deal, which is completed on April 17, leads to the end of WCCB's 27-year run as Charlotte's Fox affiliate, with the network's programming moving to WJZY on July 1 (WCCB takes over CW affiliation on that date).[28][29][30] | |
31 | Married political analysts James Carville and Mary Matalin parts ways with CNN, both citing the network's desire to move in a new direction and to focus on other projects.[31] |
After seven seasons and 138 episodes, 30 Rock aired its final two episodes, "Hogcock!" and "Last Lunch", which featured a cameo from Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, and a nod to the final scene from St. Elsewhere in which NBC programming president (and revealed to be immortal) Kenneth Parcell (Jack McBrayer) is pitched a pilot for a sitcom, aptly named 30 Rock, by Liz Lemon's (Tina Fey) great-granddaughter 100 years in the future.[32] |
February
Date | Event |
---|---|
3 | CBS airs Super Bowl XLVII, which includes a 34-minute power outage in the third quarter, a surprise reunion of Destiny's Child during the halftime show,[33] and a Baltimore Ravens victory over the San Francisco 49ers by a score of 34–31.[34] With an estimated 108.4 million viewers, it ranked third on the most-watched list, behind Super Bowls XLIV and XLVI.[35] |
4 | Fox affiliate KLRT/Little Rock discontinued its weeknight 10 p.m. newscast, while in turn debuting a new weekday morning newscast and reducing the hour-long 5 p.m. newscast to a half-hour 5:30 p.m. show. This is related to KLRT and its CW-affiliated sibling KASN forming a outsourcing agreement with Nexstar Broadcasting (owners of NBC affiliate KARK and MyNetworkTV affiliate KARZ), forming a virtual quadropoly, in which all four will be based in KARK's studios.[36] |
CBS' Hawaii Five-0 aired an updated remake of the original series' sixth-season episode "Hookman", using the same scripts and locations from the 1973 broadcast. The episode was directed by Peter Weller, who also played the amputee sniper (that was originally played by real-life amputee actor Jay J. Armes) who has a hatred for Honolulu Police Department officers by targeting the individuals, including Commander Steve McGarrett (Alex O'Loughlin), whose father, in this version of the remake, was responsible for his loss of his hands.[37] | |
5 | Fox News Channel announces that it has dropped political analyst Dick Morris from the network and will not renew his contract. Morris believed that the decision by Fox to drop him can be traced to his "prediction" that Mitt Romney would beat Barack Obama in a landslide during the 2012 Election, only to be proven wrong by the network on election night.[38] |
6 | Nexstar Broadcasting Group announces its acquisition of NBC affiliate KSEE/Fresno, California from Granite Broadcasting for $26.5 million. The station will be operated in tandem with CBS affiliate KGPE, which it acquired in 2012 from Newport Television, through a time brokerage agreement until the sale is approved.[39] |
Nexstar also settles a lawsuit against Granite Broadcasting that alleged that the latter company controlled advertising sales through its carriage of five network affiliations on two Fort Wayne, Indiana stations (WISE-TV and co-managed WPTA), resulting in that market's Fox affiliation returning to WFFT-TV from WISE's second subchannel on March 1, reversing a 2011 switch that resulted from a dispute between Nexstar and Fox over retransmission compensation.[40][41] | |
After announcing in 2012 that they would exercise their option to buy six stations from Sinclair Broadcast Group, Fox Television Stations decides to pass on acquiring any of the stations.[42] However at the same time, Sinclair announces that they are looking to add more stations to the 87 they own or operate in 47 television markets.[43] | |
Catamount Broadcasting agrees to sell CBS affiliate KHSL/Chico, California to GOCOM Media, LLC for $7 million. The deal includes its local marketing agreement with NBC affiliate KNVN (owned by Evans Broadcasting).[44] | |
8 | Charter Communications acquires cable provider Optimum West from Cablevision Systems Corporation for $1.6 billion. The sale closed during the third quarter of 2013 with Optimum West customers directed to Charter's site thereafter.[45] |
11 | The Emergency Alert System infrastructure of CBS affiliate KRTV/Great Falls, Montana is broken into with a false audible warning of a zombie apocalypse over both the main signal and their CW digital subchannel, along with a request to tune into 920 AM – a station that does not exist in Great Falls – for more information (an audio recording of this incident that was broadcast February 12 on WIZM-FM/La Crosse, Wisconsin simultaneously set off the EAS receiver of CBS affiliate WKBT).[46][47] The station quickly denied the EAS warning was true, suggesting a hacker invasion into the EAS system.[48] A similar EAS intrusion incident took place hours later in Marquette, Michigan, when PBS member station WNMU and ABC affiliate WBUP had the same message carried over both stations' signals.[49][50] |
12 | Comcast announces it will purchase the remaining 49% stake of NBCUniversal from General Electric for $16.3 billion, ending 27 years of GE's ownership of NBC in some capacity.[51] |
13 | LIN Media rescinds its 24% ownership stake in (de facto) NBC owned-and-operated stations KXAS-TV/Fort Worth-Dallas and KNSD/San Diego, paying NBCUniversal a $100 million withdrawal from the joint venture involving the two stations.[52] |
Former Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown, who turned down an offer to run for the seat that was vacated by John Kerry in the special election, joins Fox News Channel as a contributor/analyst.[53] A day later, Herman Cain also joins the network for the same duties as well.[54] | |
Upstart company Rural Broadband Investments (created though a partnership with private equity firm GTCR) acquires cable provider New Wave Communications, which serves rural areas of Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Arkansas, from Pamlico Capital. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.[55] | |
14 | CBS Corporation acquires a minority ownership interest in event-oriented cable channel AXS TV (joining stakes owned by Mark Cuban, Anschutz Entertainment Group, Ryan Seacrest Media and the Creative Artists Agency in the joint venture). The specific percentage of CBS' stake in the network was not disclosed.[56] |
16 | All seven stations owned by Grant Broadcasting System II disappear from Dish Network due to a dispute over retransmission consent|retransmission fees (markets affected by the blackout are Huntsville, Alabama, Davenport, Iowa (two stations), Roanoke, Virginia (two stations) and La Crosse, Wisconsin).[57] |
18 | Reflecting the new direction of CNN under the leadership of new network president Jeff Zucker, the 'flipper' ticker on the bottom of the screen, which displayed headlines from CNN.com's RSS feeds, is replaced with a traditional scrolling news ticker, returning the scroll to CNN for the first time since 2008.[58] |
19 | 16-year-old Prince Michael Jackson I joins Entertainment Tonight as their new correspondent, making him the youngest reporter ever in the 32-year history of the program. However, due to his status as a minor, his role will be on a limited basis.[59] |
Another former political veteran switches jobs to television, as Barack Obama's former campaign advisor and former journalist David Axelrod joins NBC News and MSNBC as their political analyst/commentator.[60] | |
24 | The 85th Academy Awards telecast makes history when First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama announces the winner for Best Picture (Argo) live from the White House.[61] |
25 | Cox Media Group sells its four small market television stations in El Paso, Texas, Johnstown, Pennsylvania, Reno, Nevada and Steubenville, Ohio to Sinclair Broadcast Group for $99 million. Cox is selling these stations in order to focus on its larger market stations.[62] Concurrently, Deerfield Media will acquire the license assets of Reno's KAME-TV, which has long been operated by Cox, from Ellis Communications.[63] Sinclair also announced the formation of a subsidiary, Chesapeake Television, which will focus on smaller markets such as those served by the four former Cox stations.[63][64] |
Hubbard Broadcasting acquires MyNetworkTV affiliate WNYA/Pittsfield, Massachusetts from Venture Technologies Group, which will create a duopoly with nearby Albany, New York NBC affiliate WNYT for $2.3 million, pending FCC approval. The station is seeking a 'failed station waiver' to acquire the station.[65][66] | |
Diane Dostinich acquires the 51% ownership stake in Daystar affiliate KKJB/Boise that was held by station co-owner Gary Cocola of Cocola Broadcasting for $1.2 million.[67] | |
26 | Cablevision files an antitrust lawsuit against Viacom in a Manhattan federal court, alleging that the media conglomerate illegally forced the cable provider to carry 14 lower-rated channels (such as VH1 Classic, Palladia and MTV Hits) in order to carry higher-profile cable networks owned by Viacom such as MTV, Nickelodeon and Comedy Central.[68] |
28 | Sinclair Broadcast Group reaches a retransmission consent agreement with DirecTV. The removal of 87 Sinclair owned or operated stations in 47 markets would have occurred on March 1, if a new retransmission consent agreement was not reached before the prior carriage deal expired.[69] |
Sinclair also adds more stations to its portfolio, as it acquires the 18 Barrington Broadcasting stations (and the LMA/SSAs of six that Barrington operates) in a $370 million deal. However, Sinclair will spin off WSYT/Syracuse (including transferring the LMA of WNYS to another company) and WYZZ/Bloomington-Peoria due to overlapping in the two markets, along with turning over four others to Cunningham Broadcasting.[70] | |
Negotiations break down between "Judge" Joe Brown and CBS Television Distribution over plans to cut his salary for his self-titled syndicated court show, which could see Brown splitting from CTD and taking his show elsewhere if the dispute is not resolved, as Brown has yet to sign a new deal. CTD announced that if Brown leaves, it would offer stations another courtroom show to make up for Brown's series contract into 2015 as a backup. On March 26, CTD announced that Judge Joe Brown was canceled and scrubbed plans for another courtroom show after stations balked on having a replacement. Brown is still looking for a new deal to have his show sign with another distributor.[71] | |
The creators behind the ABC sitcom Home Improvement, Matt Williams, Carmen Finestra, Tam O'Shanter and David McFadzean (under the banner Wind Dancer Productions), file a lawsuit against The Walt Disney Company, seeking millions of dollars in revenue for failing to properly exploit the series after it went into syndication in 1995, including claims that they never received 75% of the show's profits after the series ended its run (in 1999).[72] | |

1 | Fox Sports South and SportSouth announce they have picked up 45 more Atlanta Braves games, ending the team's contract with WPCH-TV. The 2013 season season is the first in 40 years without locally produced Braves games on over-the-air TV.[73] |
4 | CNBC takes over production of the Nightly Business Report (the NBCUniversal-owned cable channel purchased the rights to the program from investment firm Atalaya Capital Management on February 21); however, American Public Television will continue to distribute NBR solely for public television stations throughout the country. Production of the program will move to CNBC's studios in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey.[74] |
ABC affiliate WKPT-TV/Kingsport, Tennessee debuts local newscasts at 6 and 11 p.m., the first full-fledged newscasts broadcast on the station since it terminated a news share agreement with CBS affiliate WJHL-TV in 2008 (and the first to be produced in-house since WKPT's previous news department shut down in 2002).

19 | New York Supreme Court judge Robert Muller files an injunction barring Lifetime from airing or promoting Romeo Killer: The Christopher Porco Story (premiering on March 23), following a lawsuit filed by Porco – who was convicted of his father's murder and the attempted killing of his mother in 2004 – on grounds that events depicted in the made-for-cable film were fictionalized (despite not having seen the movie). On March 21, a New York appellate court lifted the injunction following an appeal filed by Lifetime, alleging the risk of financial damage due to its $3 million investment in the film and violations of constitutional speech protections.[81][82][83] |
Tribune Company forms Tribune Studios (not to be confused with the formerly owned Los Angeles studio facility that once held the same name), which will primarily produce programs for the company's 23 television stations and WGN America. This is Tribune's second production company, having operated Tribune Entertainment from 1984 to 2007.[84] | |
Liberty Media acquires a 27% ownership interest in cable provider Charter Communications for $2.62 billion. The purchase is Liberty founder John Malone’s first major investment in a cable operator since the 1999 sale of Tele-Communications, Inc. to AT&T Corporation.[85] | |
20 | Fox Sports enters into a broadcast rights agreement with the realigned Big East Conference, effective with the 2013–14 academic year.

Sporting events from the new Big East will be broadcast primarily on the forthcoming national sports network Fox Sports 1.[86] The deal follows a broadcast contract signed on March 19 between ESPN and the American Athletic Conference (the original Big East) through the 2019–20 academic year.[87] |
Comcast SportsNet Chicago suspends Chicago Bulls analyst (and former Bulls shooting guard) Kendall Gill following a March 19 physical altercation in the regional sports network's newsroom with Big Ten Network analyst Tim Doyle, over comments Doyle made about Gill's analysis of the March 18 Bulls-Denver Nuggets game on the panel discussion show Sports Talk Live.[88] | |
21 | NBCUniversal, through its NBC Owned Television Stations subsidiary, acquires Telemundo affiliate WWSI/Atlantic City, New Jersey (part of the Philadelphia media market) from ZGS Communications for $20 million. The deal will create a duopoly with NBC owned-and-operated station WCAU.[89] |
A transmitter problem takes CBS affiliate KPHO/Phoenix off the air on the network's first day of NCAA Division I Basketball Tournament coverage.

A war of words erupts between Fox News Channel and actor Jim Carrey: FNC reporter Greg Gutfeld makes a critical statement on this date over "Cold Dead Hands", Carrey's anti-gun video for the viral website Funny or Die, with Gutfield taking issue with Carrey's views on gun control by stating that, "He [Carrey] is probably the most pathetic tool on the face of the earth and I hope his career is dead and I hope he ends up sleeping in a car." Carrey responds on March 29 by calling the network "A media colostomy bag that has begun to burst at the seams."[94] |
April
Date | Event |
---|---|
1 | In a lawsuit filed by the four major broadcast networks, a New York judge rules that Aereo, a pay service which streams broadcast station signals online and through mobile devices without paying fees to the networks or their stations, does not breach federal copyright rules as it utilizes antennas leased to its subscribers to stream station signals.[95] The ruling sparks a threat during an NAB conference presentation on April 9 from News Corporation COO Chase Carey to turn Fox into a subscription-only service, if pending court proceedings do not rule against Aereo (similar statements were later made by executives of Univision and CBS).[96] |
General Hospital, the last of the remaining ABC soap operas, celebrates its 50th anniversary.[97] | |

The acquisition includes 20 television stations in eight markets (including KOMO-TV/Seattle and KATU/Portland, Oregon) and three radio stations in the Seattle market.[110] On April 22, an unnamed Fisher shareholder filed a lawsuit to stop the Sinclair acquisition, alleging that Fisher Communications management breached their fiduciary duties by agreeing to sell the company to Sinclair at a $41/share offer that undervalued the company via an "unfair process".[111] |
15 | At approximately 2:50 PM (EDT), two explosions around Copley Square, just before the photo bridge that marks the finish line, were caught live on camera during the telecast of the Boston Marathon, about three hours after the winners crossed the line. The event causes local stations in the Boston media market and the major networks, including ESPN, to cancel regular programming to carry continuing coverage of the tragedy.[112][113] At least three deaths were reported and 280 people were injured.[114] Four days later, just hours after the suspects' pictures are aired on national TV, all Boston news outlets preempt programming for nonstop coverage of the massive manhunt for the suspects, a pair of brothers, after a police chase and standoff that left an MIT campus police officer and one of the two suspects dead from gunshots and the other suspect escaping into a Watertown neighborhood, eluding capture for most of the day until finally being arrested. The major four broadcast networks pre-empt the majority of their schedule nationally from 2 AM ET on into prime-time on the 19th to also cover the story.[115] |
16 | The Seattle Mariners acquire a controlling interest in Root Sports Northwest, which broadcasts the team's games, from DirecTV Sports Networks.

29 | WCVB-TV/Boston substitutes "Still", a new episode of the ABC series Castle with a previously aired episode from season two, "The Late Shaft", featuring local native Tom Bergeron, out of sensitivity to the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings, and with permission from ABC. "Still" had already been delayed from its original April 22 airdate nationally due to the plot revolving around Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) being stuck in place to avoid the detonation of an explosive device. Viewers in the northern portion of the market were still able to watch the new episode over WCVB's sister station WMUR-TV/Manchester, New Hampshire. It was also made available on demand and to Hulu viewers in the Boston area the next morning.[119] |
WBIN/Derry, New Hampshire drops its Independent News Network-produced weeknight 10 p.m. newscast, replacing the newscast with syndicated programming.

2 | Comcast SportsNet Chicago reporter Susannah Collins is let go by the network following an on-air gaffe during Chicago Blackhawks playoff coverage in which she said the team enjoyed a "tremendous amount of sex" (rather than success) during the season.

Viewers of How I Met Your Mother see the future mother of Ted Mosby's children for the first time in the show's 8th season finale.

As part of the deal, Sinclair will spinoff CBS affiliate WHP-TV/Harrisburg, MyNetworkTV affiliate WMMP/Charleston, South Carolina and the Birmingham duopoly of The CW affiliate WTTO & MNT affiliate WABM because those stations are located in the same markets where it competes against the Allbritton stations.[189] The following day (July 30), Sinclair announced plans to use NewsChannel 8 as a "launching point" for a national news channel, airing both within the Sinclair group and on MVPD systems for a "unique hybrid model."[190] |

The proposal would grandfather portfolios of any broadcaster with existing or pending ownership of UHF stations that would put them over the 39% national cap without the discount at the time of the proposal's submission.[249] |

The dispute does not involve areas (including Anchorage) where GCI carries KTUU through must-carry. The move follows the sale of rival KTVA to GCI subsidiary Denali Media Holdings a week earlier, which KTUU had opposed over concerns that this move could be made. KTUU's channel slot on most of the affected systems is now occupied by Starz Kids & Family. Despite this dispute, KTUU extended its newscast carriage agreement with fellow NBC affiliates KATH-LD in Juneau and KSCT-LP in Sitka (which were also acquired by GCI/Denali at the same time it acquired KTVA) through November 22.[314][315][316] |
