2025 in American television

Certain American television events in 2025 have been scheduled. Events listed include television show debuts, finales, and cancellations; channel launches, closures, and rebrandings; stations changing or adding their network affiliations; information on controversies, business transactions, and carriage disputes; and deaths of those who made various contributions to the medium.

Notable events

January

Date	Event	Ref.
1	MSG Network and its sister networks are removed from Optimum cable systems due to an unresolved carriage dispute between the networks and Optimum owner Altice USA. It is the first carriage dispute between the two parties since Altice purchased Optimum from MSG's parent company Cablevision in 2016.	[1]
	Family Guy reruns air on Adult Swim for the first time since 2021 after striking a non-exclusive deal for the rights to older episodes. Adult Swim parent Warner Bros. Discovery's license to broadcast the program expired after The Walt Disney Company acquired the series' production company, 20th Television, as part of its 2019 purchase of most 21st Century Fox assets, with FXX and Freeform holding exclusive cable rights. The Cartoon Network programming block first aired reruns of the Fox animated series in 2003 (consisting initially of the original 1999–2002 run), and played a role in its revival, which has aired since 2005. (Adult Swim previously aired new episodes of Family Guy on a next-day basis in a TV-MA recut including crude material cut or censored from the Fox airings to comply with broadcast standards.) Reruns returned to Adult Swim with a three-day marathon, before airing in a regular weekday primetime slot on January 4.	[2]
5	The 82nd Golden Globe Awards airs on CBS and streams on Paramount+. Nikki Glaser hosts the ceremony, with notable winners including Best Motion Pictures Emilia Pérez (Musical or Comedy and Foreign Language), among its four wins out of ten nominations overall) and The Brutalist (Drama, among its three wins) and TV series Shōgun (Best Drama Series, among its four wins), Hacks (Best Musical or Comedy Series, among two wins), and Baby Reindeer (Best Limited Series, Anthology, or Film, among its two wins).	[3][4][5]
6	FuboTV agrees to sell a 70% majority stake in its vMVPD business to The Walt Disney Company and merge with Disney's Hulu + Live TV business. The merged company will be led by Fubo's executive team and remain publicly traded, but with Disney holding majority control of its board. Both the Fubo and Hulu + Live TV services will continue to operate under their respective brands, with Fubo being responsible for carriage negotiations. The deal excludes the Hulu video on-demand service, which will continue to be exclusively held by Disney. As part of the agreement, Fubo settles its antitrust lawsuit with Venu Sports, the proposed sports-focused streaming service joint venture between Disney, Fox Corporation, and Warner Bros. Discovery, with the consortium planning to make a one-time payment of $220 million. (The Venu consortium later announced on January 10 that the service would not launch; DirecTV and Dish Network asked the New York district court to reconsider the case's dismissal on grounds that the antitrust issues remained unanswered and they could still be harmed by Venu's competition.) Fubo also reaches a carriage agreement for Disney's suite of channels. The merger is expected to be completed between 12 and 18 months, pending regulatory approval.	[6][7] [8][9]
8	Following the Southern California wildfires that began on January 7, CBS pulls a scheduled repeat of Fire Country for January 10 and replaces it with a repeat of NCIS: Sydney, while NBC still airs Chicago Fire as planned for January 8 alongside Chicago P.D. and Chicago Med.	[10]
	In Part 1 of a two-part crossover event, characters from FXX's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia volunteer at the titular school of ABC's Abbott Elementary. The second part will air premiere later in the year as part of Sunny's 17th season.	[11]
9	Major American networks cover the state funeral of Jimmy Carter, who died on December 29, 2024, at age 100.	[12]
10	Nexstar Media Group removes its local stations and national networks, including NewsNation and multiple CW stations, from Optimum systems due to a carriage dispute.	[13]
13	MSNBC announces it would temporarily expand The Rachel Maddow Show (which has regularly aired in the 9 p.m. ET slot on Monday nights only since 2022) to a five-night-a-week schedule through April 27 to cover the first 100 days of Donald Trump's second presidency, while Alex Wagner, who regularly hosts Alex Wagner Tonight in the slot Tuesday-Friday, would be placed on special assignments to report on the effects of Trump's policy decisions across the country and internationally. Both Maddow's and Wagner's primetime shows returns to their regular schedules starting on April 30.	[14]
16	In one of her last acts as FCC chair before the second Trump administration, Jessica Rosenworcel orders the rejection of three complaints and one petition against local TV stations. The affected complaints, filed by a conservative-leaning group, targeted network-owned stations in Philadelphia and New York City over perceived coverage and equal-time presentations of Kamala Harris' 2024 presidential campaign; the petition, from a pro-democracy centrist group, sought to revoke the license of WTXF/Philadelphia in the wake of station parent Fox Corporation's defamation lawsuit regarding statements made on Fox News about 2020 presidential election. Rosenworcel's successor as FCC chair, Brendan Carr, would reinstate the complaints, though not the challenge against WTXF (which the second group would later appeal), on January 22.	[15][16] [17]
	LIV Golf announces a new deal with Fox Sports to air tournament coverage on Fox, FS1, FS2, and Fox Business; the broadcasts, which the league will continue to produce in-house, had aired on The CW since 2023.	[18]
18	Allen Media Group announces plans to phase in centralized weather forecasting, originating from the company's Atlanta-based The Weather Channel, for its local station group. AMG trumpets the move (which would ostensibly eliminate all local meteorologist positions, though some affected would be offered positions at TWC) as a way to efficiently improve the stations' weather coverage capabilities. The plan, however, comes amidst cost-cutting measures at AMG (which has included eliminations in employees and consolidations and cuts to local newscasts), and also receives criticism over the perceived loss of community engagement that local weather reports provide. Although development of the Atlanta-based regional production hub would continue, AMG notified at least six of the group's stations on January 23 that their locally based meteorologists would be retained. The TWC hub concept would quietly be implemented at a few other stations (such as WSIL/Harrisburg, Illinois and WTHI/Terre Haute) by late March.	[19][20] [21][22]
20	Major American networks cover the second inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States. The inauguration was watched by 26.05 million viewers across all major broadcast and cable news networks, down from the two previous inauguration ceremonies: Joe Biden's 2021 ceremony received 39.87 million viewers and Trump's first inauguration in 2017 was viewed by 38.3 million. Fox News (which had the highest inauguration ratings among all networks, averaging 10.3 million viewers) was the only major news network to see an increase in viewership over Biden's 2021 inauguration.	[23][24]
21	WDJT/Milwaukee fires weekend meteorologist Sam Kuffel, after she criticized Elon Musk for a controversial arm gesture made during his speech at Donald Trump's inauguration the day prior on her personal and private Instagram account with profanity denouncing the gesture. Kuffel's dismissal by the Weigel Broadcasting-owned CBS affiliate came after her posts were pointed out to and publicized by local conservative talk show host Dan O'Donnell of WISN radio to pressure Weigel to terminate Kuffel for offering a political opinion as a station employee.	[25]
28	Rather than reportedly take a late-night slot as part of a reshuffling of CNN's daytime lineup, Jim Acosta announces he would instead be departing the network, where he has spent 18 years as a reporter (in particular chief White House correspondent) and as one of the hosts of CNN Newsroom. The proposal to move Acosta to a lower-rated timeslot was seen by critics as attempt to appease President Donald Trump, who had repeatedly sparred with CNN and Acosta over their reporting of him dating to his first administration (including White House press staff briefly suspending Acosta's press pass in 2018, which a federal judge ruled had violated the then-correspondent's due-process rights).	[26]
30	The FCC launches an investigation into PBS and NPR concerning whether corporate underwriting spots during their programs "cross the line" into traditional advertising. Federal guidelines, which both broadcasters' CEOs state they are in compliance, require that the spots cannot advocate a "call to action" directly promoting for-profit goods and services. The inquiry was seen as a step toward eliminating federal funding for public broadcasting, long supported by conservatives and endorsed by FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, and, coupled with Carr's earlier revival of complaints regarding coverage of the 2024 election, as a broader attempt to use federal authority to coerce media coverage more favorable to the Trump administration.	[27][28] [note 1]

2	The 67th Annual Grammy Awards airs on CBS and streams on Paramount+ from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Notable winners include Kendrick Lamar (whose single, "Not Like Us", swept its five categories, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year, making it the most awarded song in Grammy history), Beyoncé (with three awards, tied with Charli XCX, St. Vincent and Gabriela Ortiz, including Album of the Year and Best Country Album—the latter being the first win by a Black artist—for Cowboy Carter), and Chappell Roan (who won Best New Artist).	[29][30] [31][32]
4	Ending a six-year-long blackout, Comcast and regional sports network Altitude announce a carriage agreement that adds the Denver-based Altitude, the TV home of the NHL's Colorado Avalanche and NBA's Denver Nuggets, to a higher-priced "sports and entertainment" tier on Comcast's Xfinity cable systems in the Rocky Mountain region.	[33]
7	Netflix announces its cancellation of a planned six-part documentary about the life and career of Prince, and will instead work with Prince's estate on a new documentary. The terminated project, which was produced by Ezra Edelman, had been in limbo due to disapproval from the estate for use of Prince's material, reportedly over the film's depiction of his personal life that included, according to a September 2024 New York Times report, accusations that he committed physical and emotional abuse.	[34][35]
	The 30th Critics' Choice Awards airs on E! from the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California. Chelsea Handler hosts the ceremony, which was originally scheduled for January 12 but was postponed twice due to the wildfires in Southern California. Notable winners include films Anora (the first ever to win Best Picture without winning in any other categories), Emilia Pérez, The Substance and Wicked (with all three films respectively getting three wins each) and TV programs Shōgun (with four wins, including Best Drama Series) and Hacks (with two wins, Best Comedy Series and Jean Smart for Best Actress in a Comedy Series).	[36][37] [38][39] [40]
9	In a telecast that includes tributes from some of his current and former broadcast partners, Hubie Brown calls his final NBA game for ABC (a 135–127 win by the Milwaukee Bucks over the Philadelphia 76ers at Fiserv Forum), retiring after over a half-century as a pro basketball coach and TV analyst (he worked with ESPN/ABC, TNT, CBS, and USA Network in the latter role).	[41][42]
	Super Bowl LIX, from the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, airs on Fox, Fox Deportes (Spanish language coverage), and Fox Corporation's free-streaming service Tubi. Despite its lopsided outcome (a 40–22 win by the Philadelphia Eagles over the Kansas City Chiefs), the game attracts an estimated 126 million viewers across Fox's platforms, a new viewership record that surpasses the 123.4 million viewers who watched Super Bowl LVIII one year earlier; the halftime show featuring Kendrick Lamar subsequently became the most-watched halftime show as well, surpassing Michael Jackson's 1993 halftime show.	[43][44]
	During the Super Bowl LIX telecast, Fox-owned stations in Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Atlanta, as well as a Nexstar-owned Fox affiliate in St. Louis, air a commercial featuring Kanye West in a dentist's chair promoting the website for his fashion brand Yeezy. Hours after the ad aired, merchandise on Yeezy.com was swapped out to show just one item, a T-shirt with a Nazi Party swastika. The site and the ad receive widespread condemnation in light of West's history of antisemitic statements on social media. Yeezy.com was taken down by its host, Shopify, on February 11, and Fox Television Stations offered a statement of regret to its employees on February 12.	[note 2] [45][46] [47][48]
20	ESPN announces that it would withdraw the final three years of its current national broadcast deal with the Major League Baseball at the end of the 2025 season. ESPN has been broadcasting MLB games since 1990, with its current coverage (previously consisting of multiple nights a week) consisting mostly of Sunday Night Baseball. ESPN had requested a corresponding reduction in rights fees (totaling $550 million annually under the existing deal) for the reduced package, which MLB rejected. The end of MLB's 36-season run on ESPN, if no new contract is renegotiated, will also end a brief period where the network owned rights to all four major leagues of professional sports in the United States.	[49][50]
22	The 56th NAACP Image Awards airs on BET, CBS, and their sister networks from the Pasadena Convention Center. Notable winners include films The Six Triple Eight (with three wins, including Outstanding Motion Picture and Kerry Washington for Outstanding Actress in a Motion Picture) and The Piano Lesson (with two wins), and TV programs Abbott Elementary, Cross and Poppa's House (with two wins each). Special honors were given to Dave Chappelle (President's Award), former Vice President Kamala Harris (Chairman's Award), the Wayans family (Hall of Fame Award) and Keke Palmer (Entertainer of the Year).	[51][52] [53][54]
23	The 31st Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards streams live on Netflix; Kristen Bell hosted the ceremony. Notable winners include film nominees Timothée Chalamet (Outstanding Lead Male Actor for A Complete Unknown) and Demi Moore (Outstanding Lead Female Actor for The Substance), and TV nominees Shōgun (with four wins, including Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai, respectively, for Outstanding Male and Female Actor in a Drama Series), Only Murders in the Building (Outstanding Ensemble Performance in a Comedy Series) and Colin Farrell (Outstanding Male Actor in a TV Movie or Limited Series for The Penguin). Jane Fonda was honored with a Life Achievement Award.	[55][56]
24	MSNBC confirms it would reshuffle its weeknight lineup, expanding Jen Psaki's role to the Tuesday-Friday mid-evening timeslot that Alex Wagner left behind in January (with Wagner remaining with the network as a political analyst), and the cancellation of Joy Reid's TheReidOut in favor of a panel show hosted by weekend hosts Symone Sanders-Townsend, Michael Steele, and Alicia Menendez. They are the first major scheduling moves made by MSNBC's new president, Rebecca Kutler, who was appointed to the role on February 12.	[57]
	Beyond the Gates premieres on CBS, becoming the first daytime soap opera to premiere on broadcast television since 1999 (NBC's Passions), as well as the first soap to primarily feature an African American cast since 1989 (Generations, also on NBC).	[58][59] [60]

2	The 97th Academy Awards airs on ABC from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, with Conan O'Brien hosting the ceremony and major winners including Anora with five Oscars (including Best Picture, Best Actress Mikey Madison, and Best Director, Film Editing, and Original Screenplay awards to Sean Baker). The ceremony is also streamed on Hulu for the first time; however, the streaming service's live feed encountered several technical glitches and crashed multiple times throughout the ceremony, cutting out before the Best Actress and Best Picture winners were revealed.	[61][62] [63]
3	Major League Baseball announces an dissolution of a two-decade-old conflict between the Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles that saw the Orioles, through their MASN sports network, involuntarily control the television rights for the Nationals since their 2005 relocation from Montreal to the American capital, which had long been part of the home territory for the Orioles. Both teams share ownership in MASN, with Baltimore holding the controlling interest in the network. The deal, which resolves legal struggles between the two teams, will see Nationals games remain on MASN through the end of their 2025 season, after which they will, for the first time, be free to control their own destiny for their game rights, and comes two years after the death of Nationals owner Ted Lerner, allowing his son Mark to put his imprint on the franchise and guide the team forward.	[64]
	Jimmy Johnson announces his retirement from Fox Sports. Johnson, previously a football coach at both the collegiate level (most notably with the Miami Hurricanes) and the NFL (with the Dallas Cowboys), joined Fox NFL Sunday as a studio analyst when the network launched its sports division in 1994 and outside a four-year hiatus in the late 1990s when he was the head coach of the Miami Dolphins, remained with Fox through Super Bowl LIX in February, with a tribute to Johnson airing as part of pre-game coverage.	[65]
10	A rain-wrapped EF2 tornado hits the Lake Mary studios of WOFL (Fox) and WRBW (MyNetworkTV) during the Fox-owned Orlando stations' morning coverage of the storm. The tornado, which was captured live by a WOFL tower camera as it crossed I-4 near the facility, and also destroyed at least one home and damaged several others in Lake Mary and Longwood, damaged an outdoor set used for weather segments and several employee vehicles in the building's parking lot, and snapped several trees and tree branches on the studio grounds.	[66][67]
12	The Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) announces a television deal with CBS Sports and The CW beginning in May that would see the beach volleyball tour's matches airing Friday nights on CBS Sports Network and Saturday nights on The CW from Memorial Day weekend until Labor Day weekend, when the AVP's season-ending championship will have a Sunday afternoon airing on CBS.	[68]
	The International Olympic Committee announces a $3 billion contract extension with NBC Sports to continue broadcasting the Olympics through the 2036 Summer games. NBC's previous contract was set to expire at the end of the 2032 Summer Olympics. Overall, NBC Sports has held the American broadcasting rights to the Summer Olympic Games since the 1988 games and the rights to the Winter Olympic Games since the 2002 games.	[69]
17	The 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards airs on Fox at the Dolby Theatre.	[70]
26	ESPN announces it would shift production on its 1AM (ET) editions of SportsCenter from its Los Angeles studios back to its Bristol, Connecticut headquarters, a move that also affects the network's soccer studio coverage. ESPN began L.A. editions of SportsCenter in 2009, with the last airing in May, after which the L.A. hub would continue to house NBA studio coverage and other content.	[71]
	CBS Sports college football game analyst Gary Danielson announces he will retire following the conclusion of the 2025 season, with the network announcing that Charles Davis will be elevated to Danielson's role as primary game analyst in 2026.	[72]

April

Date	Event	Ref.
19–20	WrestleMania 41 is held at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada and is streamed on Peacock and airs on pay-per-view.	[73]
22	Saying he has lost his ability to make independent journalistic decisions for the show, Bill Owens announces he will resign as executive producer of CBS News' 60 Minutes. Owens had been with CBS for 37 years, and was only the third EP in 60 Minutes' 57-year history (after Don Hewitt and Jeff Fager). His departure comes at a time when CBS parent Paramount Global faces a lawsuit by President Donald Trump over the show's October 2024 interview with Kamala Harris, and as it seeks FCC approval to complete its merger with Skydance Media.	[74]

May

8	The 60th Academy of Country Music Awards streams live on Prime Video from Ford Center at The Star, with Reba McEntire as host.	[75]
14	The National Hockey League's Tampa Bay Lightning announce a rights deal with Scripps Sports that will see non-national Lightning telecasts, beginning with the 2025–26 NHL season, air on Scripps-owned WXPX-TV/Bradenton-Tampa and through a direct-to-consumer streaming option. The deal ends a 33-year relationship between the Lightning and regional channel FanDuel Sports Network Sun, and it makes the Lightning the 7th U.S.-based NHL team to eschew the local cable model in favor of a broadcast or DTC streaming approach (the 4th involving Scripps Sports).	[76]
16	Cable television companies Charter Communications and Cox Communications announce an agreement to merge in a $34.5 billion deal. Should the deal close and gain regulatory approval, the combined company would retain the Cox Communications corporate name as well as the Spectrum brand for its customer-facing cable/internet operations.	[77]
19	Indicating tensions with corporate leadership similar to those Bill Owens expressed when he resigned from 60 Minutes (see 4/22 entry), Wendy McMahon announces she will resign as president/CEO of CBS News and Stations.	[78]
	Sesame Workshop announces a deal with Netflix to stream new episodes of Sesame Street, starting with its 56th season. The move comes after Warner Bros. Discovery opted not to renew its contract with Sesame Workshop after Sesame Street's 55th season; the show had aired exclusively on PBS until 2016, when WBD-owned HBO gained rights to episode premieres, which moved to HBO Max in 2020. Under the WBD agreement, PBS could only air Sesame Street episodes several months after HBO or Max premiered them first; under the Netflix deal, however, the streamer will release each episode the same day it premieres on PBS or PBS Kids. (The public broadcaster and predecessor NET has carried Sesame Street in some form since the program's 1969 premiere.)	[79]
21	Deborah Norville makes her final appearance as anchor of Inside Edition, having hosted the syndicated tabloid television program since March 1995; she is set to host the game show The Perfect Line in the fall.	[80][81]
26	The 51st American Music Awards, hosted by Jennifer Lopez, take place in Las Vegas, the first AMA ceremony to air on CBS after having aired on ABC since its inception in 1974.	[82][83]
28	President Donald Trump signs pardons for reality television stars Julie and Todd Chrisley. The Chrisleys, who with their family are known for the USA Network series Chrisley Knows Best, were convicted and sentenced in 2022 for bank fraud and tax evasion; their pardons came after their daughter Savannah Chrisley, a vocal Trump supporter, lobbied the president for their release.	[84]
30	Lester Holt signs off as anchor of NBC Nightly News. Holt, who announced his departure from the role on February 24, but will remain with NBC News as host of Dateline, joined the weekend edition of Nightly in 2008, and moved to the weeknight edition in 2015, after predecessor Brian Williams resigned. Tom Llamas, anchor of NBC News Now's Top Story, succeeds Holt as Nightly anchor on June 2.	[85][86] [87][88]
31	Game 6 of the NBA's Eastern Conference Finals (a 125–108 win by the Indiana Pacers over the New York Knicks) airs on TNT. It is the last NBA game to air on the network, ending a 41-year relationship between the league and TNT Sports that dates back to the original NBA on TBS in 1984 (the games would move to TNT in 1989). TNT Sports' league broadcast rights were not renewed and these games will move to NBC and Amazon starting in the 2025–26 season. Despite this, TNT will continue to produce the studio show Inside the NBA for incumbent rightsholders ESPN and ABC.	[89]

June

Date	Event	Ref.
7	The next-to-last staging of Good Night and Good Luck (featuring George Clooney as Edward R. Murrow) at New York's Winter Garden Theatre airs on CNN, becoming the first live television simulcast of a Broadway show.	[90]
8	The 78th Tony Awards air on CBS from New York's Radio City Music Hall, with Cynthia Erivo as host and notable winners including Maybe Happy Ending (6 wins including Best Musical) and Purpose (Best Play).	[91]
	The studios of KTXS/Abilene, Texas are significantly damaged after severe thunderstorm winds producing gusts up to 80 mph (130 km/h) collapsed a section of the building, an on-site garage (which fell onto an ENG vehicle) and its studio transmitter link tower; peeled off a section of the studio roof; and damaged several windows. Flooding also occurred inside the Sinclair-owned ABC affiliate's studio from heavy rains that poured into the damaged areas. No station employees on-site during the storm were injured.	[92][93]
8–9	Two incidents involving television journalists occur at scenes of Los Angeles protests over illegal immigration raids: On June 8, Lauren Tomasi, a correspondent for Australia's Nine News, is hit at close range by a rubber bullet from an LAPD officer's gun while wrapping a live stand-up report (Nine News notes that while Tomasi was "left sore" by the bullet, she and her camera operator were "otherwise unharmed"). On June 9, CNN reporter Jason Carroll is briefly detained on-the-air by LAPD officers, with the network later stating that two camera operators were arrested outright.	[94][95] [96]
9	Warner Bros. Discovery announces plans to split into two separate, publicly traded companies: The tentatively-named "WBD Global Networks" will take cable channels including CNN, TBS, TNT, Cartoon Network and Discovery, while "WBD Streaming & Studios" will take the HBO premium channels, streaming service HBO Max, and the Warner Bros. film and television studios. The split is projected to be completed by mid-2026.	[97]
	The 25th BET Awards air on BET from Los Angeles' Peacock Theater.	[98]
10	Two days after ABC News suspends White House correspondent Terry Moran after his overnight post (which was later deleted) on X that called Trump administration adviser Stephen Mlller a "world-class hater," the network announces it will not renew Moran's contract.	[99][100]
12	The series finale of After Midnight airs on CBS, with the network discontinuing producing original programming in the 12:30 a.m (ET) time slot that follows The Late Show. After Midnight had aired since January 2024 and was initially renewed for a third season, but after host Taylor Tomlinson announced plans in March to leave the program to focus on her stand-up comedy work and other projects, CBS chose to cancel the show rather than to find a new host to replace her (Tomlinson had voiced a wish for the latter). CBS has aired content in the 12:30 a.m slot since The CBS Late Movie in the 1970s, most prominently carrying The Late Late Show between 1995 and 2023. Starting in September, the timeslot will carry reruns of Byron Allen's Comics Unleashed, as it did between the end of the Late Late Show and the launch of After Midnight.	[101][102] [103][104] [105]
13	McDonald's announces a settlement in a $10 billion lawsuit that Allen Media Group-owned Entertainment Studios filed against them and was set to go to trial in federal court in July. Entertainment Studios alleged in the suit (which was originally filed in 2021) that the fast-food giant discriminated against Black-owned media companies in its television advertising (AMG is headed by comedian Byron Allen). Settlement terms are not disclosed outside the restaurant continuing to purchase advertising on AMG networks and stations at fair market value.	[106]
23	The Pac-12 Conference announces a 5-year media deal with CBS Sports, beginning with the 2026–27 academic year, that will see CBS and Paramount+ carry a minimum 3 regular season football and men's basketball games, along with the conference championship games in those sports, each year during the deal. The Pac-12, rebuilding after all of its member schools except Oregon State and Washington State went to other conferences after the 2023–24 season, has relied on stopgap television deals with other networks, most notably The CW, during 2024–25; it will add six new schools, and possibly other media partners, in 2026–27.	[107]
25	DirecTV announces it will, in some regions of the U.S., discontinue sales of satellite television subscriptions to new customers, offering a streaming package instead.	[108]
26	The Walt Disney Company and Charter Communications announce an agreement that will give subscribers to Charter's Spectrum Select package access to ad-supported versions of Disney's Hulu streaming service as well as the upcoming ESPN streamer. The deal also returns to Spectrum cable eight Disney-owned channels (most notably Freeform and FXX) that were removed after a 2023 retransmission agreement between the two companies.	[109]

July

Date	Event	Ref.
1	The FCC approves the planned sale of five stations by Sinclair Broadcast Group to Rincon Broadcasting Group: WVTV/Milwaukee (The CW/MyNetworkTV), KTVO/Kirksville-Ottumwa (ABC/CBS), KHQA/Hannibal-Quincy (CBS/ABC), and WICS and WICD/Springfield/Champaign (ABC simulcast). The FCC also rejects a petition put forward by a public interest group, Frequency Forward, that sought to block the sale; the petitioner cited Sinclair's history of using "sidecar" relationships with closely-related companies to skirt ownership caps.	[110]
2	Paramount Global, parent company of CBS News, announces it will agree to a $16 million settlement with Donald Trump over a lawsuit Trump filed regarding the editing of an October 2024 60 Minutes interview with Trump's then-opponent for the 2024 presidential election, Kamala Harris. Though legal and First Amendment experts have called as spurious Trump's claim that the interview's editing was election interference, the president's case was also seen as a potential roadblock in Paramount's proposed merger with Skydance Media, which was under review by the FCC at the time. Money in the settlement, which was reached after mediation (and does not include an apology from Paramount over the interview), will be allocated to Trump's legal fees and his future presidential library. Government officials (including Democratic lawmakers such as Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Ron Wyden as well as FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez) and other Trump administration critics condemned the settlement as harmful to media outlets' First Amendment rights, with some lawmakers accusing Paramount of committing bribery to facilitate the Skydance deal's approval.	[note 3][111] [112] [16][113]
	Merit Street Media, owner of the Merit TV digital multicast network, files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. As part of the bankruptcy filing, the company founded by former talk show host Phil McGraw also files a breach-of-contract lawsuit against business partner Trinity Broadcasting Network, accusing TBN of failing to adhere to contractual commitments to provide national distribution and access to production resources.	[note 4][114]
7	In a deal that E. W. Scripps CEO Adam Symson admits is a test of the FCC's new commitment to revise or repeal single-market ownership restrictions, Scripps and Gray Media announce a station swap that, pending FCC approval, would give both companies true or virtual duopolies in new markets. Gray will acquire Scripps Fox-affiliated WSYM-TV/Lansing (where Gray already owns NBC affiliate WILX-TV) and ABC station KATC/Lafayette (giving Gray a presence in each Louisiana market). Scripps, meanwhile, will expand its western footprint by acquiring Gray's CBS-affiliated KKTV/Colorado Springs (where they already own NBC outlet KOAA-TV), as well as KKCO (NBC) and KJCT-LP (ABC) in Grand Junction, and Fox station KSVT-LD/Twin Falls (where Scripps already owns ABC outlet KSAW-LD).	[115][116]
17	CBS announces the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which will air its final episode in May 2026, ending the franchise that David Letterman originated in 1993. (Colbert would acknowledge the news on-air during that night's episode.) CBS cited a sharp decline in advertising revenue for late-night shows in general for the cancellation (the show was estimated to have lost up to $100 million), which comes four months after After Midnight was cancelled and its post-Late Show time slot was subsequently leased to Allen Media Group (see 6/12 entry). The timing of the cancellation comes after Colbert, a longtime critic of Donald Trump and his presidential administration, criticized CBS parent Paramount Global's settlement on Trump's lawsuit against them for his 60 Minutes interview (see 7/2 entry) and comes as Paramount was seeking regulatory approval for Skydance Media's acquisition of the company. The timing of the cancellation prompts scrutiny from Trump administration critics (including Democratic lawmakers such as Adam Schiff, Elizabeth Warren and Pramila Jayapal), the Writers Guild of America (who sent a letter to New York State Attorney General Letitia James asking for an investigation into CBS' basis behind the decision) and Late Show executive producer Jon Stewart (in a July 21 monologue on sister network Comedy Central's The Daily Show) over whether the cancellation was politically rather than financially motivated, citing Trump's scrutiny of late night comedians' jokes and criticism towards him before and during his first presidency.	[117][118] [119][120] [121][note 5]
	The House of Representatives gives final approval to a rescission bill that, among other things, cuts $1.1 billion in federal funds to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting for the 2026 and 2027 fiscal years. The rescission, which President Donald Trump would sign into law on July 24, would only affect a small percentage of direct funding to PBS (as well as that toward radio counterpart NPR), but is expected to more deeply affect local member stations and their parent organizations who rely more heavily on federal funds to cover the costs of station operations and programs. While federal funding for public broadcasting had previously enjoyed bipartisan support, eliminating CPB funding had long been desired by some conservative politicians and activist groups who had cited public broadcasting as unnecessary and allege liberal-friendly tilts in its news coverage.	[122][123] [note 6]
22	A power transformer fire prompts the evacuation of the studios of KARE/Minneapolis–Saint Paul. No injuries were reported, but the fire forces KARE to vacate its Golden Valley studios and originate its evening newscasts from its transmitter site in Shoreview, while a morning anchor and meteorologist are flown to Atlanta to anchor the next day's morning news from Tegna-owned sister station WXIA-TV.	[124]
24	In a 2-1 party-line vote, the FCC gives its approval to the merger of Skydance Media with CBS parent Paramount Global. The vote follows controversial months during which key CBS News figures resign, Paramount resolves a lawsuit from President Donald Trump, and CBS cancels its late night programming (see above) and much of its library of holiday special programming. It also comes after the agency receives assurances from Skydance that, once the merger is complete, the company would refrain from establishing DEI programs and would establish an ombudsman role to review any issues of unbalanced reporting at CBS News.	[125]
30	Matt Damon and Ken Jennings win $1 million on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire for the Damon-founded charity Water.org in an episode that continues Damon's "feud" with host Jimmy Kimmel (a long-recurring routine on Jimmy Kimmel Live!). Damon and Jennings become the second team in the history of Millionaire's celebrity duo format to claim the show's top prize, following Ike and Alan Barinholtz in August 2024.	[126]
31	Less than a year into its first season airing IndyCar events, Fox Sports announces an extension of its media rights agreement with the open-wheel racing circuit, and also purchases a one-third stake in its parent company, Penske Entertainment.	[127]
	Gray Media announces it will buy two stations from SagamoreHill Broadcasting, NBC affiliate WLTZ/Columbus, Georgia and Fox affiliate KJTV-TV/Lubbock, Texas. Gray already operates the stations for SagamoreHill, and will seek failing station waivers from the FCC to purchase them.	[128]

August

Date	Event	Ref.
1	One day after announcing it will acquire two SagamoreHill stations (see 7/31 entry), Gray Media announces another station purchase, an $80 million acquisition of Block Communications' remaining broadcast outlets. The deal includes WAND/Decatur, Illinois, WLIO/Lima, Ohio, both stations' related low-power outlets, and WDRB and WBKI/Louisville, Kentucky. It will be Gray's first foray into the Lima and Central Illinois television markets, while the Louisville stations (should the purchase receive regulatory approval) will create a triopoly with Gray-owned WAVE.	[129]
	Having seen most of its federal funding rescinded (see 7/17 entry), and with lawmakers declining to restore the money earlier in the week, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting announces it would shut down operations. A majority of CPB staff will be laid off on September 30, after which a skeleton crew will remain to care for any remaining fiscal compliance, copyright, and other issues and obligations until CPB fully shutters at the end of January 2026. Created by the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967, CPB distributed federal grant monies to public broadcasters in television and radio (including PBS and its local member stations) to help cover the costs of content and operations.	[130]
5	The Walt Disney Company announces that its ESPN will acquire the National Football League's NFL Network and NFL RedZone, which after regulatory approval will become ESPN-owned properties and be part of its new streaming service. In exchange, the NFL will acquire a 10% equity stake in ESPN, and grant ESPN rights to games and other content on NFL Network and Red Zone as well as from NFL Films, the league's production company that, along with its NFL+ subscription service, will remain league-owned.	[131][132]
6	ESPN indicates that its streaming service will be the exclusive U.S. home to World Wrestling Entertainment's premium live events, most notably WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, and SummerSlam, beginning in 2026, with an option to simulcast select events on ESPN's linear services. The 5-year deal, which will have an average annual fee of $325 million, supplants WWE's previous PPV deal with Peacock, which will remain home to the Friday night SmackDown (which also airs on USA Network).	[133]
7	The merger of Skydance and Paramount Global (parent to CBS and Paramount Media Networks) formally closes, establishing Paramount Skydance Corporation.	[134][125]
8	Two months after indicating it would put its television stations up for sale, Allen Media Group announces it will sell eleven of them to Gray Media: WAAY-TV/Huntsville, Alabama, WSIL-TV-KPOB-TV/Harrisburg, Illinois-Poplar Bluff, Missouri, WEVV-TV/Evansville, Indiana, WFFT-TV/Fort Wayne, Indiana, WCOV-TV/Montgomery, Alabama, KADN-TV/Lafayette, Louisiana, WTVA/Tupelo, Mississippi, WREX/Rockford, Illinois, WTHI-TV/Terre Haute, Indiana, and WLFI-TV/Lafayette, Indiana. The deal, should it gain regulatory approval, would give Gray a first-time presence in Tupelo, Terre Haute, and Lafayette markets while creating multiple-station duopolies with existing Gray stations in the other affected markets, as well as a potential duopoly in Lafayette (where a Gray deal to acquire Scripps-owned KATC is pending).	[135][136]
11	In its first major deal as a merged company, Paramount Skydance Corporation announces it has secured U.S. broadcast rights to Ultimate Fighting Championship events in a 7-year, $7.7 billion deal that will take effect in 2026. The deal, which will replace an expiring package UFC had with Disney-owned ESPN, will see UFC events stream on Paramount+ with select simulcasts on CBS; it also eliminates the pay-per-view model ESPN used for certain premium UFC events.	[137]

Date	Event	Ref.
30	Lee Corso will retire from ESPN after being part of the College GameDay panel for the final time. The former college football coach has been with GameDay since its launch in 1987, and is known for donning mascot headgears as part of the show-closing game prediction segment.	[138]

7	The 2025 MTV Video Music Awards will air on MTV and, for the first time, CBS from New York's UBS Arena.	[139]

Networks and services

Launches

Network	Type	Launch date	Notes	Sources
Game Show Central	Exclusive over-the-air multicast feed	February 17	On February 17, Sony Pictures Television Networks began distributing an over-the-air multicast feed of Game Show Central, a spin-off of Game Show Network carrying archived original programs from the cable channel's library (such as Catch 21, Idiotest, Master Minds, Common Knowledge and Baggage). The network maintains a separate schedule from its namesake ad-supported streaming channel (originally launched in March 2020 and available on AVOD live TV platforms such as Pluto TV, Samsung TV+ and The Roku Channel), incorporating recent and older GSN originals not carried on the cable and streaming channels as well as some shared programs. Initially, Game Show Central's OTA feed was available primarily on stations owned by the E. W. Scripps Company and Inyo Broadcast Holdings (many of them Ion affiliates), replacing sister network Get, which served as a placeholder affiliation for subchannels that previously carried Scripps News prior to its conversion into a streaming-only channel in November 2024.	[citation needed][624]
Busted	Over-the-air multicast	March 1	On January 31, Free TV Networks announced the launch of Busted, a new digital multicast network focused around repeats of law enforcement-related programming from the A+E Global Media library (including series from its various Wars and Cam programs), and selected other distributors including Langley Productions and Fox Entertainment (including series such as World's Wildest Police Videos, Jail and Cops Reloaded).	[625]
Farm Journal TV and Farm Journal Now	Subscription video on demand and free ad-supported streaming	May 2	Farm Journal, the agriculture publisher and broadcast syndicator that produces the programs AgDay, U.S. Farm Report and Machinery Pete, launched a two-pronged Internet service in the spring, first launching its paid on-demand service Farm Journal TV in March, then launching its free linear feed Farm Journal Now on May 2. As part of the transition, Farm Journal disaffiliated from its longtime cable partner RFD-TV on April 27.	[626]
Mississippi Live Weather	OTT streaming	July 2	On July 2, Matt Laubhan (former chief meteorologist at NBC/ABC affiliate WTVA/Tupelo who departed on June 30 with little fanfare) launched Mississippi Live Weather, a 24-hour regional streaming network serving Northeast Mississippi, offering live forecast segments (airing up to five times per day), severe weather coverage, and continuous automated loops of current conditions and forecast maps. The launch of the service, initially presented by Laubhan and Gabe Mahner (who also left WTVA shortly after the network's launch), occurred five months after Allen Media Group scaled back plans to outsource weather coverage at its stations (including WTVA) to a production hub at The Weather Channel's Atlanta studios. Mississippi Live Weather (an affiliate of the Lawrenceburg, Tennessee-based National Weather Network, a digital weather service cooperative that launched on January 19 with six charter affiliates, including locally based flagship Tennessee Valley Weather) is available as a live feed on its website; iOS, Android and Smart TV apps; and YouTube channel, in addition to ancillary content on various social media platforms (such as YouTube, X, Facebook and TikTok).	[627][628]
MovieSphere Gold	Over-the-air multicast	August 1	On July 21, Lionsgate announced that it would launch MovieSphere Gold, an over-the-air digital multicast extension of its free ad-supported streaming movie channel MovieSphere featuring threatrical films from the studio's library. The network was initially available primarily on stations owned by TelevisaUnivision and HC2 Holdings, among other groups.	[629]
Alabama Weather Network	OTT streaming	August 11	On July 14, WBMA/Birmingham chief meteorologist James Spann (who has been with the ABC affiliate since its September 1996 launch) announced the launch of the Alabama Weather Network, a 24-hour streaming weather network that will feature live forecasts, severe weather coverage and taped event and tourism segments, as well as routine and speciality forecasts and automated loops of current conditions. (The network's coverage area, which will encompass all 67 Alabama counties, will overlap with Tennessee Valley Weather, which includes most of the Huntsville–Decatur market in its coverage area.) Spann will continue at WBMA, in addition to the new venture, doing weather segments for its early weeknight newscasts and helming severe weather coverage. The Alabama Weather Network will be available as a live feed through its website; iOS, Android and Smart TV apps; and YouTube channel, in addition to ancillary content on various social media platforms.	[630]
ESPN (streaming service)		August 21	First reported as being developed in Spring 2023 (under the code name "Flagship"), ESPN parent company The Walt Disney Company confirmed in February 2024 its plans for its own direct-to-consumer streaming service, and in May 2025 indicated it would be known as simply "ESPN". The service, whose launch date was confirmed by Disney on August 6, will grant its subscribers access to all programming seen on ESPN's U.S. linear cable channels, as well as all ESPN Select content, along with WWE's premium live events, with most existing pay television subscribers using TV Everywhere credentials able to access the broader service at no additional cost.	[631][632][633] [634][635]
Fox One			Fox One will encompass all of Fox Corporation's cable channels as a $19.99/month service (excluding Fox Soccer Plus), with access to Fox Nation for an additional fee; as with ESPN's new service, pay television subscribers will be able to access the service with TV Everywhere credentials for no additional cost.	[636]
WEST	Over-the-air multicast	September 1	On June 17, Weigel Broadcasting announced it will launch WEST (a backronym for "Western Entertainment Series Television"), the company's tenth multicast network, which will feature classic western television series from the 1950s to the 1970s, including shows that Weigel holds contractual rights to air on sister networks MeTV and Heroes & Icons as part of their dedicated western blocks (such as Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Rawhide, Have Gun, Will Travel, The Big Valley and Wild Wild West).	[637]

Conversions and rebrandings

Old network name	New network name	Type	Conversion date	Notes	Source
The365	365BLK	Over-the-air multicast	January 1	The Free TV Networks-owned multicast network aimed at African American audiences rebrands from The365 to 365BLK on its first anniversary to clarify its target audience within its branding; outside a temporary removal of some overnight programming with paid programming (a change reverted on April 1), no other changes to the network's schedule occur.	[625]
MAVTV	Racer Network	Cable/satellite	March 27	MAVTV, a network devoted to motorsports and other automotive content and formerly owned by Lucas Oil, is sold to Racer Media & Marketing, the publisher of Racer and is immediately rebranded the same day to take advantage of Racer's complementary branding, ending 20 years of existence under its original MAVTV monicker, which dated back to an era when the channel was focused on men's content rather than exclusively motorsports. The channel's companion FAST service is correspondingly renamed Racer Select.	[638]
TBD	Roar	Over-the-air multicast	April 28	On March 3, Sinclair Broadcast Group announced it would rebrand TBD, which originally launched in February 2017 with a format centered on original web content, as Roar (as in "roaring with laughter") to reflect the network's shift in focus since early 2024 from millennial-targeted reality programming and adapted online content to alternative comedy shows (encompassing unscripted and sketch series such as Saturday Night Live).	[639]
Max	HBO Max	Over-the-top streaming service	July 9	On May 14, Warner Bros. Discovery announced plans to revert Max's name to its original from 2019 to 2023; on July 8, it indicated that the rebrand would occur the next day.	[640][641]
ESPN+	ESPN Select	Subscription streaming	August 21	On May 13, as part of ESPN's long-anticipated announcement of its direct-to-consumer flagship streaming service, ESPN announced that ESPN+ would be rebranded as ESPN Select, and would continue to be offered as a separate standalone subscription within that service. Subscribers to the ESPN streaming service would automatically get ESPN Select as part of their unlimited subscription.	[633]

Closures

Network/ service	Type	End date	Notes	Source
Smile	Over-the-air multicast	January 12	The free-to-air, faith-based children's network owned by the Trinity Broadcasting Network closes on this date; its shutdown coming after its cable and satellite carriage were discontinued in 2021. Most of Smile's programming was moved to Yippee TV and TBN's streaming service TBN+.	[642][643]
Universal Kids	Cable/satellite	March 6	NBCUniversal confirmed on January 13 the shutdown of Universal Kids on this date, after several pay television providers indicated in notices to customers several days before that the service would end distribution on that date. The network had already become a low priority with the sharp declines in ratings for children's television networks in the age of streaming, and comes months after Comcast announced its intent to spin off NBCUniversal's cable properties into a separate company named Versant, which made no mention of Universal Kids's fate before then.	[644][645]
TV8 Vail	Over-the-air broadcast, streaming	March 28	TV8 Vail was the second and last of two independent over-the-air translators operated by Deerfield Media, which otherwise operates as a sidecar company with Sinclair Broadcast Group. (The other, Park City Television, shut down in 2022.) Deerfield had purchased the low-power television license from Vail Resorts in 2021, after that company had shut the station down in 2019, deeming it a non-critical service in its efforts to acquire resorts outside Colorado.	[646]
ShopHQ	Cable/satellite, streaming	April 17	The Eden Prairie, Minnesota-based home shopping network abruptly went off the air at midday on this date; several days later, parent company IV Media, LLC filed a WARN notice alerting the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development that it would end Eden Prairie operations by the end of June. ShopHQ went through multiple owners (most recently Manoj Bhargava), identities, and struggles since launching in 1991; from January (when it laid off 128 workers), the channel began a purposeful discontinuation of cable and satellite carriage in an effort to move to mostly online platforms (such as YouTube, TikTok, Instagram). ShopHQ's sudden closure came after Bhargava's other over-the-air networks, NewsNet and Sports News Highlights, suffered similar closures in August 2024.	[647]
HBO Family	Cable/satellite, streaming	August 15	On June 13, Warner Bros. Discovery announced that it would shut down four of HBO and Cinemax's multiplex channels (HBO Family and three Cinemax networks, general film service MovieMax, sci-fi/fantasy-focused OuterMax and suspense/horror-focused ThrillerMax). The announcement occurred four days after WBD revealed it would transfer its non-HBO networks to a separate company, and followed sister streaming service Max reducing its investment in children's series domestically earlier in the year.	[648]
MovieMax
OuterMax
ThrillerMax
Amazon Freevee	OTT streaming	August	After previously denying it would do so, Amazon announced on November 12, 2024, that it would begin the discontinuation of their standalone Freevee service, which launched in 2019 as IMDb TV before rebranding as Freevee in 2022. On July 2, Amazon notified users that the Freevee app would be inaccessible starting in August. Freevee's content is already found on the ad-supported, free-to-access tier of Amazon's Prime Video.

Stations changing network affiliations

Date	Market	Station	Channel	Prior affiliation	New affiliation	Notes	Source
January 1	Los Angeles, California	KWHY-TV → KSCN-TV	22.1	Independent Spanish language programming	Scientology Network	The station's then-owner, Meruelo Media, which has been struggling and selling off its assets in the last year, announced the sale of KWHY-TV to Sunset Boulevard Broadcasting, the broadcast arm of the Church of Scientology, on July 29, 2024, for $30 million. On December 16, 2024, Sunset Boulevard Broadcasting filed to change the station's call letters to KSCN-TV, and on January 1, 2025, KWHY-TV's 35-year service as a mainly Spanish-language station ended as the station began simulcasting the Scientology Network full-time, with the KWHY-TV callsign, which had been in use for 59 years, also being changed to KSCN-TV. All other subchannels were discontinued, though Merulo continues to maintain a channel sharing agreement for Garden Grove-licensed KBEH, which it retained. The sale was completed on January 6, 2025, with KBEH itself subsuming the former KWHY call letters (without a "-TV" suffix) as of February 2.	[651][652] [653][654]
February 14	Anchorage, Alaska	KTVA	11.1	Rewind TV	PBS (as satellite of KAKM)	In October 2024, GCI filed to sell the station to Alaska Public Media, operator of Anchorage PBS station KAKM. Alaska Public Media plans to run KTVA as a straight repeater of KAKM. Management cited GCI's plans to shut down its cable television systems in 2025, potentially increasing dependence on broadcast TV in the area. KTVA's centrally located tower provides better coverage of Anchorage than the more distant and partially terrain shielded Knik TV Mast; Alaska Public Media estimated 86,000 households in Anchorage would see an improved signal.

August 4	Miami–Fort Lauderdale, Florida	WPLG	10.1	ABC	Independent	On March 20, BH Media announced it WPLG would disaffiliate with ABC after 69 years, after both parties were unable to agree on reverse compensation terms during contract renewal negotiations, with station management claiming the fee increase requested by ABC parent Disney would have forced WPLG to reduce staff in order to remain profitable. Locally based Sunbeam Television subsequently announced an agreement with Disney to move the ABC affiliation to WSVN-DT2 effective August 4. (Fox programming will continue to air on WSVN's primary channel.) On that date, WPLG will become an independent station with an expanded local news schedule, similar to the model pioneered by WSVN after its 1989 switch from NBC to Fox (part of a broader three-station affiliation switch through which WPLG was the only major-network outlet in Miami not to change networks), and implemented by Jacksonville sister station WJXT (whose owner, Graham Media Group, operates WPLG under a time brokerage agreement and previously owned the station from 1969 to 2014) when it disaffiliated from CBS in a similar dispute in 2002. ABC's move to WSVN will make Miami–Fort Lauderdale the largest American television market, and the first top-30 market, with a Big Four network affiliate on a subchannel. WSVN has also chosen to terminate its ATSC 1.0 hosting role for WPLG's stations on the same date (WPLG serves as a ATSC 3.0 lighthouse station) to accommodate full-bandwidth high definition channels for Fox and ABC programming in the ATSC 1.0 format. Sunbeam also entered a time brokerage agreement with WDFL-LD over its main channel, mainly to exploit its channel 18 position on the area's pay-TV systems as its branding of "ABC Miami 18".

WANF will revert to independent status (what it had been prior to joining CBS in December 1994), and is expected to expand its local news and sports content to fill network time slots after the CBS disaffiliation.

September 1	Cleveland, Ohio	WUAB	43.1	The CW	MyNetworkTV	On October 28, 2024, Nexstar Media Group announced it would purchase WBNX-TV from Ernest Angley Ministries and form a duopoly with its Fox affiliate WJW. In its announcement, Nexstar indicated it would move The CW affiliation back to WBNX, which carried the network from 2006 to 2018 (Nexstar bought control of The CW in 2022). WUAB will replace The CW with MyNetworkTV (which it originally carried from 2006 to 2018 and has remained as a late night offering since then on sister station WOIO's MeTV subchannel) as well as an expanded sports programming slate. The deal closed on February 1, 2025, with Nexstar taking operational control soon after.	[666][667]
