2016 in American television

The following is a list of events affecting American television in 2016. Events listed include television show debuts, finales, and cancellations; channel launches, closures, and rebrandings; stations changing or adding their network affiliations; and information about controversies and carriage disputes.

Notable events

January

Date Event
1 Bob Eubanks and Stephanie Edwards co-host the local telecast of the Rose Parade on CW affiliate KTLA/Los Angeles for the final time. The duo announced in September 2015 that they were relinquishing their hosting duties for the annual event, an assignment that dated back to 1982.[1]
Full episodes of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson return to American television, airing nightly on Antenna TV, the result of an agreement between the Tribune Broadcasting-owned multicast network and Carson Productions. The airings, billed simply as Johnny Carson (as NBC has ownership of The Tonight Show brand) consist of episodes taped in Burbank between 1972 and 1992 (90-minute episodes made from 1980 and earlier air on weekends, while 60-minute broadcasts made from 1980 onward air weeknights at 11:00 p.m. Eastern Time). This date's re-airing of the January 1, 1982 episode, which featured Eddie Murphy and McLean Stevenson as guests, marks the first time the Carson-era Tonight Show has aired on television (outside of a compiled clip series) since his retirement in May 1992.[2]
WSVI, the ABC affiliate serving the United States Virgin Islands, ends its affiliation with the network due to technical issues and joins Ion Television. Lilly Broadcasting, owners of WSEE-TV in Erie, Pennsylvania which already serves as the default CBS affiliate in the Virgin Islands, is commissioned to provide a replacement ABC affiliate for cable viewers, and promptly imports WENY-TV in Elmira, New York.
4 CMT renames their all-country music video sister network CMT Pure Country to CMT Music.[3]
CBS affiliate WJHL-TV in Johnson City, Tennessee announces that it is affiliating its DT2 subchannel with ABC effective February 1, taking the Tri-Cities' ABC affiliation from WKPT-TV. In a statement by George DeVault, president of Holston Valley Broadcasting, owners of WKPT-TV, he stated that despite negotiating in good faith with a "loyal" affiliate of ABC, and having agreed in principle on a 5-year extension, the network had chosen to explore other options, and showed a preference to being affiliated with a station owned by a larger group. WKPT-TV subsequently shuts down its news operation on January 29 and switches to MyNetworkTV on February 1 (taking that affiliation from sister station WAPK-CD, who in turn takes WJHL-DT2's former MeTV affiliation).[4]
7 NBCUniversal confirms it will move its NBC affiliation in Boston from WHDH to another broadcast station in the market (possibly to the company's existing Telemundo owned-and-operated station WNEU) on January 1, 2017, one day after its contract with WHDH expires.[5] WHDH owner Sunbeam Television files suit in federal court on March 10 in a challenge to NBC's move, contending it violates a caveat in NBCU's 2011 merger with Comcast to commit to over-the-air broadcasting as well as public interest issues (the signal of the Merrimack, New Hampshire-based WNEU reaches only the northern half of the Boston market, with marginal coverage in the city proper).[6]
NBCUniversal formally launches Seeso, a subscription-based, over-the-top streaming service that features new and classic comedy programming. The service, which features archived content (including stand-up comedy specials, and episodes of series such as Saturday Night Live and Monty Python's Flying Circus) as well as original series, is initially available for $3.99 per month (the site soft-launched on December 3, 2015 with a one-month, web-only beta trial offered to prospective subscribers).[7]
More than a dozen television stations owned by Cordillera Communications in the Western and Southern United States are removed from Dish Network in a retransmission dispute.[8] The stations are restored on January 10 after the two sides reach an agreement.[9]
9 The Kansas City Chiefs defeat the Houston Texans in an AFC Wild Card playoff game. ESPN's coverage of the game is simulcast on sister broadcast network ABC, making it the first National Football League game to air on the latter network since Super Bowl XL in 2006.[10][11] ABC previously held the rights to Monday Night Football from 1970 until it shifted over to ESPN in 2006.
12 ABC Family changes its name to Freeform.[12] The rebranding, the result of audience tests that revealed infrequent viewers perceived the channel as strictly family-oriented, firms the network's programming focus towards teenagers and young adults ages 14–34 (or "becomers", as the network terms them). It also, according to network president Tom Ascheim, refutes claims that founding owner Christian Broadcasting Network has required "Family" to permanently remain in the channel's name since its 1990 sale to International Family Entertainment.[13][14][15] Freeform will maintain much of the former ABC Family's existing programming including feature films, series (including Shadowhunters, which premieres on this date), seasonal programming blocks, and religious programs (most notably weekday airings of The 700 Club, which CBN does require the channel to air).[16][17][18]
14 TouchVision discontinues operations. Based at Weigel Broadcasting's Chicago headquarters, the service provided newsreel-style news coverage tailored to a younger demographic, offering content to mobile and tablet platforms as well as select television stations.[19]
17 Master of None and Mr. Robot are among the notable TV winners at the 21st Critics' Choice Awards, an event simulcast live on A&E, Lifetime and LMN.[20] For the first time, the event combines categories comprising its previously separate television and film ceremonies into a single three-hour telecast, the result of a September 2015 decision reached by the Broadcast Television Journalists Association and the Broadcast Film Critics Association.[21]
18 In a series of tweets she stated that while she had "only ever liked boys" in the past and that she was "open to liking any gender," Girl Meets World star Rowan Blanchard (who is 14) confirms that she identifies as queer, marking the first time a teenage entertainer from a current Disney Channel television series to come out and reveal their sexual preference.[22][23]
19 Major League Baseball reaches an agreement to expand its offerings of online game broadcasts, including team-specific packages. The agreement comes on the day a trial against MLB, Comcast, and DirecTV was to have begun. The class action lawsuit, filed by a group of fans, sought to overturn MLB's placement of territorial restrictions for "out of market" broadcasts and blackouts of "in market" games.[24]
23 ABC begins airing a package of eight selected NBA games on Saturday evenings under the NBA Saturday Primetime on ABC banner.[25] The move will also see the network airing only six single Sunday afternoon games, ending the doubleheaders that resulted in the adjustments to the scheduling of NBA broadcasts. Sister cable channel ESPN will continue to air NBA telecasts on Wednesday and Friday evenings.[26]
27 Nexstar Broadcasting Group agrees to acquire Media General in a $4.6 billion deal. Should regulatory approval be obtained, the combined company, to be known as Nexstar Media Group, will become the largest broadcaster in terms of audience reach, owning or operating 171 full-power stations in 100 markets. The deal comes after Meredith Corporation backs out of its deal to acquire Media General. That deal, announced in September 2015, came before Nexstar announced its own larger, unsolicited bid for Media General.[27]
Sinclair Broadcast Group announces it will acquire Tennis Channel in a $350 million deal.[28]
29 Nexstar Broadcasting Group stations in nine markets are removed from Cox Communications' cable systems at midnight due to a retransmission dispute.[29] The stations return to Cox Cable after the two sides reach an agreement on February 4.[30]

February

Date Event
1 Viacom Media Networks rebrands Palladia as MTV Live, making it the fifth all-music channel Viacom has rebranded in the last year.[31]
The National Football League announces that CBS and NBC will share the league's Thursday Night Football package in the 2016 and 2017 seasons. Both networks will each air and produce five games and NFL Network will simulcast those games and air eight additional games exclusively.[32]
The E. W. Scripps Company and Time Warner Cable quietly come to terms on a new carriage and retransmission consent contract. This is ahead of time for the former Journal Communications stations merged into Scripps in April 2015 (whose previous agreement would have ended on July 31), and averts any threat of Scripps' NBC stations being removed from Time Warner systems during the 2016 Summer Olympics.[33]
3 With advancing age (92) and health issues limiting his abilities to run the company, Sumner Redstone steps down as executive chairman at CBS Corporation. CEO Leslie Moonves is named Redstone's successor, while his daughter Shari Redstone retains her role as vice chairman. Redstone will retain a title of chairman emeritus at CBS, the same title he acquires on February 4 at Viacom, whose board names Philippe Dauman to succeed him as its executive chairman.[34][35]
7 Super Bowl 50, in which the Denver Broncos defeat the Carolina Panthers, attracts 111.9 million viewers to CBS' English-language broadcast, the third most watched program in TV history.[36] The game is also simulcast in Spanish on ESPN Deportes.[37]
12 Univision and Donald Trump confirm that they reached a confidential out-of-court settlement in a breach-of-contract lawsuit Trump filed against Univision. The Spanish-language broadcaster had backed out of its commitment in 2015 to air the Miss USA pageant in light of comments Trump expressed in the early days of his presidential campaign regarding illegal immigration to the United States. The comments resulted in a major fallout with celebrities, sponsors, and other pageant backers, including NBCUniversal, which exited from its joint venture with Trump in the Miss Universe Organization (Trump would buy out NBCU's stake and later sell the full organization to WME/IMG).[38]
13 Kanye West performs two songs from his album The Life of Pablo on Saturday Night Live, before announcing the release of his album exclusively on Tidal at the conclusion of his second performance.
15 Kendrick Lamar and Taylor Swift are among the notable winners at the 58th Grammy Awards.[39] The show airs on CBS, which offers an option for Pacific and Mountain time zone stations to air the broadcast live, allowing the event to air live in all time zones for the first time ever.[40]
17 ABC announces that its entertainment president, Paul Lee, has left the network. Channing Dungey is immediately tapped as Lee's successor, becoming the first African-American to head programming at a major broadcast network.[41]
28 MSNBC confirms it has parted ways with on-air host Melissa Harris-Perry. The move comes two days after it was revealed that Harris-Perry, in an e-mail to co-workers, voiced frustration over recent pre-emptions of her her eponymous weekend show for expanded election coverage, editorial control of her show, and lack of communication from network executives over those issues.[42]
Spotlight (best picture) and Mad Max: Fury Road (six awards) are among the notable winners at the 88th Academy Awards.[43] Chris Rock hosts the ABC telecast, an event that faced controversy coming in over the absence of minorities in the major acting categories for the second consecutive year.[44]
Despite the time difference (Hawaii is five hours behind the Eastern Time Zone), KITV/Honolulu (under their new ownership of SJL Broadcasting) ends its practice of tape-delaying the Academy Awards to prime time and, for the first time, joins the rest of the ABC network in airing the Oscars live as it happens (the event aired at 3:30PM Hawaii time).[45]
29 Raleigh-area stations WRAL-TV and WNCN swap their network affiliations, with WRAL joining NBC and WNCN joining CBS. The switch comes after management of the Capitol Broadcasting-owned WRAL could not meet what it called "one-sided" reverse compensation demands from CBS.[46]
H2, History's secondary network, becomes Viceland, a lifestyle channel aimed at millennials which will include programming about music, cooking, sports, technology and hard-hitting documentaries. The change comes after A&E Networks purchased a 10% stake in Vice Media, Inc. in August 2014.[47]
Tribune Media announces that it will review various "strategic alternatives" to increase the company's value to shareholders, which include a possible sale of the entire company and/or select assets, or the formation of programming alliances or strategic partnerships with other companies, due to the decrease in its stock price since its August 2014 spin-off of Tribune Publishing and a $385 million revenue write-down for the 2015 fiscal year, partly due to original scripted programming expenditures for WGN America since it converted the cable network from a superstation in 2014. In addition to WGN America, Tribune Media's assets include 42 television stations (two of which are operated under shared services agreements with Dreamcatcher Broadcasting), regional cable news channel Chicagoland Television and a 30% stake in Food Network (which is majority owned by Scripps Interactive).[48]

March

Date Event
4 Four Spanish language networks owned by Univision Communications (Univision, UniMás, Galavisión and Univision Deportes) are removed by AT&T U-verse nationwide due to a carriage dispute.[49][50][51][52] The Univision-owned networks were re-added by the provider on March 24, 2016, following the signing of a new retransmission agreement with the broadcaster.[53][54][55][56]
15 Dish Network sues NBCUniversal for breach of contract in reply to their ongoing carriage dispute.[57] Three days later, it announced it will continue to carry NBCU's channels for another 10 days while seeking arbitration from the FCC.[58]
24 Georgia's supreme court overturns a lower court injunction that prevented Gray Television from combining operations of Augusta station WAGT (NBC) with its own WRDW-TV (CBS).[59] Gray acquired WAGT as part of its purchase of Schurz Communications' broadcast properties, a deal the FCC approved on the condition that Gray and Schurz terminate WAGT's shared services and joint sales agreements with Media General-owned WJBF (ABC). Media General won the injunction on February 26 (10 days after Gray took over WAGT), arguing their agreements to operate WAGT were still in force until their expiration in 2020.[60] The FCC on March 10 launched an investigation into Media General's actions in the matter, with license revocation a possible punishment.[61]
28 OK!TV is rechristened Celebrity Page. The retitling of the program is the result of a change in content partners for the Unconventional Studios-produced, Trifecta-distributed entertainment news program, from American Media (parent of OK! magazine) to the Meredith Corporation, whose lifestyle print magazines will provide content for the show. It returns Meredith content to television syndication ten months after the broadcasting and publishing company's national version of the Better Show was canceled.[62]
Georgia Governor Nathan Deal announces he will veto a bill passed by the state's legislature that would allow businesses in the state to deny services based on their religious beliefs.[63] The legislation, HB 757 (referred to as the Free Exercise Protection Act), faced opposition and boycott threats from several studios, producers, and media companies involved in the state's TV industry, who contend that the bill would allow discrimination against those in the LGBT community.[64]
A cross-show, cross-network meeting of DC Universe characters takes place, as Barry Allen (Grant Gustin of The CW's The Flash) travels into National City's dimension to team with Kara Danvers (Melissa Benoist) in the "Worlds Finest" episode of CBS' Supergirl. It's the first crossover involving a CW series character on a CBS program. (Both Flash and Supergirl are produced by Warner Bros. Television and DC Entertainment. Their parent company, Warner Bros., owns The CW equally with CBS.)[65][66]
29 The FCC commences an incentive auction to acquire broadcast spectrum used by television stations. The two-phase process, which is expected to conclude by autumn, begins with a "reverse auction," in which participating stations (about 1,800 in 150 markets that transmit on UHF channels 30 to 51 are eligible) are offered bids from the FCC to sell part or all of their bandwidth, with price estimates descending in each round. A "forward auction" will follow, in which the repurposed spectrum will be sold to telecommunications providers, at escalating bids, to upgrade and expand their wireless broadband and Wi-Fi networks. Stations that opt to sell their bandwidth will be given the option to cease or continue operations (those choosing the latter can enter into an agreement with another station's owner to share a digital channel). Most stations that remain in operation will be subsequently reassigned to lower channel numbers, with their vacated frequencies reallocated for wireless use. Revenue to be accrued from the sale/repurposing of spectrum is projected to be as much as $60 billion, with most of the proceeds going to the broadcasters.[67][68]
30 CBS announces an affiliation deal with WWAY/Wilmington, NC to move its programming to the station's DT2 subchannel on January 1, 2017 (The move will not affect WWAY's primary affiliation with ABC; the DT2 channel currently carries The CW). CBS will move from low-powered WILM-LD (owned by Capitol Broadcasting Company, which dropped CBS from WRAL-TV/Raleigh on February 29).[69]
WTAE-TV/Pittsburgh dismisses news anchor Wendy Bell after she posts material on her official Facebook page considered stereotypical of African-Americans in the aftermath of a mass shooting in Wilkinsburg, PA that claimed five lives. In the post, which was later taken down, Bell described the killers, who were yet to be identified or arrested, as "young black men" who the criminal justice system was familiar with and who "have multiple siblings from multiple fathers and their mothers work multiple jobs." Management for the ABC-affiliated WTAE and parent company Hearst Television said Bell's comments displayed an "egregious lack of judgment" and "were inconsistent with the company's ethics and journalistic standards." Bell, who had been an 18-year veteran of WTAE, claims she was referring to black-on-black crime in general and didn't get a "fair shake" from the station.[70]
31 In the wake of a Hollywood Reporter investigation into "pay-to-play" casting workshops, ABC Studios dismisses Criminal Minds casting director Scott David. David, who had been with the CBS series since its 2005 debut, was profiled as one of several proprietors of acting workshops (David's is named The Actors Link) that charge actors to perform scenes for and gain advice from those directly involved in the casting of TV projects — in essence, paying a fee to audition. It's a practice illegal under a 2009 California law (The Krekorian Talent Scam Prevention Act) that has never been fully enforced by local officials.[71]

April

Date Event
1 The Nexstar-owned Lafayette, Louisiana duopoly of KLAF-LD (NBC) and KADN (Fox) launch a news department, beginning with three weekday and two Saturday and Sunday newscasts on KLAF, and a weeknight-only prime time newscast on KADN; a weekday morning newscast on KLAF subsequently debuted on April 4. The programs on KLAF-LD replace news simulcasts from Baton Rouge sister station WVLA-TV, which KLAF had carried since it became Lafayette's NBC affiliate on July 1, 2015,[72][73] while the KADN newscast replaces a five-minute news summary that previously aired on the station. The launch of the news department follows the physical expansion and equipment upgrade of the KLAF/KADN studios in Lafayette.[74]
4 Fox affiliate WZDX/Huntsville, Alabama debuts its in-house news department with the relaunch of its nightly 9:00 p.m. newscast, which expands from 30 to 60 minutes. The change followed the April 3 termination of a news share agreement with Calkins Media-owned WAAY-TV that – since it took over production of the program from the Independent News Network in September 2009 – saw the ABC affiliate produce news content for WZDX (which was acquired by Nexstar Broadcasting Group as part of its 2013 purchase of Grant Broadcasting System II), as well as Nexstar's $3.3 million renovation of the station's studio facility in northern Huntsville.[75][76]
The Villanova Wildcats defeat the North Carolina Tar Heels 77-74 in the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship, which aired on cable television for the first time ever as part of a deal which will see the championship alternate between TBS and CBS.[77][78]
5 The Starz Inc. channels undergo a brand reformatting, as Starz introduces a new universal logo for its channels and Encore is renamed Starz Encore to unify the brand identity for the group's two flagship premium cable channels. The extension of the Starz brand to Encore (which ironically launched Starz in 1994, as part of its themed multiplex) will also include the addition of repeats of Starz original programming on some of the latter's channels.[79] The Starz reformat also corresponds with the launch of the network's over-the-top/TV Everywhere service equivalent to HBO Now and Showtime's OTT service for mobile devices and digital media players simply known as Starz, and the merger of Encore and MoviePlex content from their individual apps – Encore Play and MoviePlex Play – into that service.[80]
7 The Fox reality talent competition series American Idol airs its final episode after fifteen seasons. Trent Harmon is named the final winner, while La'Porsha Renae is runner-up. The finale showcased featuring appearances by all fourteen previous winners, several finalists and personalities from the series' history.[81]
11 Calkins Media announces that the company will sell its three television stations (all of which are ABC affiliates) to Raycom Media. Raycom will acquire WWSB/Sarasota and WTXL-TV/Tallahassee, Florida outright, while its partner company American Spirit Media will acquire the license assets of WAAY-TV/Huntsville, Alabama, with Raycom likely operating it under an outsourcing agreement with its existing NBC affiliate in that market, WAFF.[82]
12 Al Jazeera America ceases programming with a three-hour retrospective special.[83] Lauded for its journalism since its August 2013 launch, the network was plagued by persistently low ratings (particularly during prime time), lack of tanglible cable carriage, and internal controversies. A limited number of the approximately 700 staffers laid off by the shutdown of AJAM and its website (which went into archive-only mode on February 26) may be transferred to its sister network, the Qatar-based Al Jazeera English.[84][85]
14 After 11 years, USA Network retires its "Characters Welcome" slogan in favor of a new brand positioning, "We the Bold", that encapsulates the network's evolved programming strategy.[86]
17 The Sunday edition of NBC's morning news/talk show Today makes a revamp with the debut of Sunday Today with Willie Geist.[87] The newly reformatted program, anchored by the weekday show's third-hour anchor Willie Geist, provides news coverage and in-depth profiles of the people and ideas shaping American culture (a behind-the-scenes look at the Broadway musical Hamilton is featured on the premiere episode). The new format brings it into line with its rival, CBS News Sunday Morning (where Geist's father Bill has been a longtime contributor).[88]
19 After a four-year run as co-host of Live with Kelly and Michael, Michael Strahan announces that he is leaving the show and will join Good Morning America for the same duties starting this Summer.[89] The announcement also caught co-host Kelly Ripa by surprise, as she was a no-show for the entire week due to a scheduled vacation. The news of Strahan's departure has added to tensions between the NFL Hall of Famer and Ripa, who also has been critical of both Disney-ABC Television and ABC in general after Strahan was named a correspondent on GMA in 2014, which Ripa felt was prioritizing GMA over Live, as the latter has seen a ratings growth since he succeeeded Regis Philbin in 2012.[90]
20 Curt Schilling is dismissed by ESPN after sharing a photo on Facebook deemed critical of transgendered persons, the latest in a series of controversial political statements made by the former Major League Baseball pitcher turned analyst. "ESPN is an inclusive company," the network said in a statement. "Curt Schilling has been advised that his conduct was unacceptable and his employment with ESPN has been terminated."[91]
21 With the sudden passing of Prince at his Paisley Park Studios complex/home on this date, TV Guide changed their background logo from red to purple,[92] joining the local media outlets in the Minneapolis-St. Paul market, along with other businesses based in the area, in honor of the musician.[93] In addition, MTV also changed its logo to purple and suspended its regular programming to air Prince's videos and movies as a tribute to being a core artist on the channel during its days as a non-stop music video channel.[94] Two days later, Jimmy Fallon hosted a retrospective Saturday Night Live special titled "Goodnight Sweet Prince" featuring Prince's past performances on the show, as well as a compilation of clips of "The Prince Show", in which Fred Armisen as Prince and Maya Rudolph as Beyoncé hosted a talk show together.[95]
25 Sports Business Daily reports that veteran sportscaster Mike Tirico is expected to leave ESPN when his contract expires in the summer to join NBC Sports as play-by-play announcer for its upcoming Thursday Night Football coverage. Tirico had been with ESPN for 25 years, covering basketball and golf, and since 2006 had been the announcer for Monday Night Football. Sean McDonough is mentioned as the leading candidate to succeed him in that capacity.[96]
KICU-TV/San Jose rebrands from "TV 36" to "KTVU Plus." The new branding for the Fox-owned independent station reflects KICU's relationship to its Fox-affiliated Bay Area sister station KTVU/Oakland and includes an expansion of KTVU-produced news programming on KICU.[97]
26 The Department of Justice and the FCC approves the merger between Time Warner Cable and Charter Communications, including Charter's acquisition of Bright House Networks. The finalized deal is subject to conditions, including requirements for Charter to refrain from implementing usage-based billing, nor use its dominant position to hinder online video services (including a prohibition on interconnection fees).[98][99]
27 Core Media Group – the parent of 19 Entertainment, the production company behind American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance – files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the wake of falling profits and the ratings decline of Idol that resulted in the series ending its 15-year run. Among the parties who Core owes money to include $3.37 million to creator Simon Fuller and an additional $398 million to third parties, including Tennenbaum Capital Partners and Crestview Media Investors.[100]
28 After setting his own car on fire, a 25-year-old man dressed in a panda costume and surgical mask who claimed to have a bomb strapped to his chest enters the lobby of the facility housing Sinclair Broadcast Group's Baltimore flagship stations, WBFF (Fox), WNUV (The CW) and WUTB (MyNetworkTV), and demands them to broadcast his message about the U.S. space program, resulting in the evacuation of staff from the studio complex. After exiting the studios, the man is later shot and wounded by police, who discover that the supposed bomb was in fact a flotation device filled with aluminum foil-wrapped chocolate candy bars with wiring attached to them.[101]

May

Date Event
1 General Hospital and the Live hosting team of Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan are among the notable winners at the 43rd Daytime Emmy Awards.[102] The ceremony has an online-only broadcast for the second time in three years, one year after a successful conventional telecast on Pop.[103]

15 For the first time in its history, The Simpsons will air a three-minute live animated segment in which Homer Simpson (voiced by Dan Castellaneta) answers viewers' questions. The producers plans to use a motion capture technology in which Homer's voice and motions will be depicted in an animated scene talking about things he "could only be saying live on that day" taken from Twitter feeds that will go online from May 1 to May 4.[105]
27 In celebration of its 100th original television movie Adventures in Babysitting, Disney Channel will celebrate the milestone by airing all 99 previous original movies released between 1997 and 2015 in the lead-up to the summer premiere of the made-for-TV remake of the 1987 feature film, starting with a four-day marathon of 51 of the channel's most popular original movies over the Memorial Day long weekend, followed by airings of these and the remaining 48 films afterwards and through the month of June.[106]

June

Date Event
1 Fox affiliate WTGS/Savannah, Georgia will assume production responsibilities for its nightly 10:00 p.m. newscast. The transfer of news operations in-house by the station will follow the May 31 termination of a news share agreement with Hearst Television-owned WJCL, under which the ABC affiliate had been producing a prime time newscast for WTGS since 1996 (WTGS was co-managed with WJCL under a concurrent shared services agreement from 1993 until 2014, when, to alleviate a conflict with its existing ownership of NBC affiliate WSAV-TV that was created by the group's merger with LIN Media, Media General sold WJCL to Hearst and the non-license assets of WTGS to Sinclair Broadcast Group, which later acquired the latter's license outright).[107][108]

NBC will partner with Litton Entertainment to expand The More You Know into a three-hour Saturday morning E/I block aimed at 13- to 16-year-olds, giving Litton editorial control of four of the five educational children's blocks for the major commercial networks.[113]
ABC's medical drama series Grey's Anatomy will surpass NYPD Blue as the network's longest-running primetime one-hour drama series when it enters its 13th season. The Shonda Rhimes-produced drama debuted on the network as a mid-season replacement in March 2005.[114]

AT&T will begin to sell DirecTV subscriptions which won't require the use of satellite dishes or set top boxes with new TV Everywhere services called DirecTV Now, DirecTV Mobile and DirecTV Preview, all of which will instead only require a smartphone, computer or tablet with an internet connection.[115]

TBA

Event
Apple plans to launch an online TV service, and is in talks with programmers to offer a slimmed-down bundle of TV networks featuring 25 channels, including three of the five major networks (ABC, CBS and Fox). The service will be available on Apple devices such as Apple TV. Apple is hoping that Comcast will be part of the proposed new venture, but a fall out between the two companies over Comcast's decision to launch its X1 Web-enabled set-top box on its own has made it impossible to set up a deal.[116]
