Well it's correct as far as the American operations of Comcast are concerned. The only cable networks still under Comcast in the USA are Bravo, Universo, and the NBC Sports Regional Networks (although the latter ones are on thin ice due to the downfall of RSNs). With the merger of HBOmax and...

Comcast won't go for the latter two as they have decreased their involvement in linear cable networks with the Versant spin-off. AMC could be useful for Sony though to expand their presence in linear TV, and Lionsgate should go to Sony as well. But back on topic, SkyShowtime being merged into...

Nexstar making the CW profitable has come at the cost of the types of shows that made the network so great. I may have a solution for that. If Amazon were to buy Nexstar, the latter would have the financial resources to once again source most CW shows from CBS and WB, the founders of the...

There's some new episodes in there.

Complementing Disney Channel airing the main Pokemon series could be a mature-oriented spin-off on FX, although like the main series, such a spin-off would have to air in Japan first. If that is successful, FX could acquire more mature-oriented serious anime for a late-night block competing with...

Shrek 5 should have a tribute to Steve Harwell, former lead singer for Smash Mouth, since the band performed All-Star and I'm a Believer for the first Shrek.

I don't see networks doing it, but there are quite a few recent kids cartoons that have surpassed 100 half hours that could be profitable if syndicated to local stations regardless of what network affiliation they have if any. From Nick, there's SpongeBob and The Loud House. The latter's...

If Sony were to acquire the non-news assets of Fox Corp. as I want them to, this could get real interesting.

The Knicks notably never won a title in the years they were owned outright by the various owners of Paramount Pictures between 1977-94. When Viacom bought Paramount, they quickly sold off the MSG properties not only because they didn't want them, but also to help pay off debt. Of course I do...

Ironically it was WB that released Detective Pikachu (except in Japan where Toho handled distribution) and it would end up airing multiple times on the legacy Turner channels.

There have been two BCG-themed NHL alternate telecasts from ESPN. They should extend that to other sports ESPN airs.

With many disapproving of changes at CBS News, the other major networks should look to seriously counterprogram 60 Minutes with their own first-run programming, with Fox having three hours of new AniDom episodes in non-NFL doubleheader weeks for instance.

That is unless Colbert moves to Sony for a syndicated late night show and many CBS affiliates pick it up. If it is a 2-hour long show, the entire Allen block would be preempted by CBS stations who picked up a hypothetical Colbert show from Sony.

As I mentioned earlier, Colbert should go to Sony for a syndicated late-night show, that just might be picked up by many CBS affiliates, preempting an hour of the Byron Allen block on those stations in the process, which could force CBS give those hours back to the affiliates.

I should also note that Looney Tunes characters were part of the now-defunct Geauga Lake theme park in Bainbridge Township in Geagua County (but with an Aurora address, which is based in neighboring Portage County, which in turn borders Mahoning County which Youngstown is part of) when it was...
