Notable events

January

<table><thead><tr><th>Date</th><th>Event</th><th>Ref.</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>2</td><td>The spinoff of cable channels previously owned by NBCUniversal (among them CNBC, MS NOW, and USA Network) into a separate publicly traded company controlled by Comcast shareholders called Versant formally completes just before midnight (ET). Bravo remained under the NBCUniversal umbrella, due to the channel being a major content provider to Peacock.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>Two days before he was originally scheduled to do so, and in order to cover the U.S. attack on Venezuela and capture of its president, Tony Dokoupil makes his first appearance as anchor of the CBS Evening News.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>The 31st Critics' Choice Awards airs on E! and USA Network from the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California. Chelsea Handler returns for her fourth consecutive year as host.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>The board of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting formally votes to dissolve the organization, a move that comes six months after a rescission act was signed into law by president Donald Trump that withdrew $1.1 billion in funding to CPB, which it used to fund PBS, radio counterpart NPR, and most notably local member stations and their parent organizations who relied more heavily on federal funds to cover the costs of station operations and programs.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>8</td><td>Nine Major League Baseball teams (the St. Louis Cardinals, Milwaukee Brewers, Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Angels, Cincinnati Reds, Kansas City Royals and Detroit Tigers, as well as both Florida teams) announce they have terminated their contracts with FanDuel Sports Network and would explore transitioning to other unspecified platforms. The move comes as FDSN parent Main Street Sports Group, which exited a lengthy bankruptcy process at the beginning of 2025, reportedly missed a rights payment deadline for at least one team (the Cardinals) among the 29 MLB, NBA, and NHL teams whose games are carried by FDSN, and a proposal to sell itself to British-based streaming service DAZN (and avoid a shutdown of operations) reportedly failed.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>11</td><td>The 83rd Golden Globe Awards airs on CBS from The Beverly Hilton with Nikki Glaser as host.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>12</td><td>Three days before it was scheduled to air, an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit guest starring Timothy Busfield is postponed after an arrest warrant was issued for the actor following allegations of child sexual abuse made against him by the parents of child actors from Fox's The Cleaning Lady, a series cancelled several months before where he served as a director and executive producer.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>14</td><td>The Washington Nationals announce they will become the seventh Major League Baseball team to join the league's in-house service, MLB Local Media, for production and distribution of their local television broadcasts beginning with the 2026 season. The move means an end to the Nationals' 21-year relationship with MASN, the regional network primarily owned by the Baltimore Orioles that involuntarily controlled the Nats' television rights since that club relocated from Montreal in 2005 to Washington, D.C, which had long been part of the Orioles' home territory.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>26</td><td>Amid the ongoing effort to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery and the potential split of its cable assets, the company signs a six-year contract ensuring WBD-owned Turner Classic Movies access to the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies filmography, which began airing on the channel on February 2.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>31</td><td>The Walt Disney Company and the National Football League announce that, with federal regulators having granted approval, they have completed a deal to have the NFL acquire a 10% stake in Disney's ESPN, in exchange for NFL Network and NFL RedZone becoming ESPN-owned-and-operated networks.</td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>

February

<table><thead><tr><th>Date</th><th>Event</th><th>Ref.</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>1</td><td>The 68th Annual Grammy Awards airs on CBS from Los Angeles' Crypto.com Arena, and streams on Paramount+. Notable winners include Bad Bunny's Debí Tirar Más Fotos (for Album of the Year), Kendrick Lamar and SZA's "Luther" (for Record of the Year), and Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell's "Wildflower" (for Song of the Year). Trevor Noah returned as the host for the sixth consecutive year, and according to producer Ben Winston, it was Noah's final time hosting the event. It was also the final Grammys ceremony to be broadcast by CBS, ending a 53-year run for the network that began in 1973; Disney-ABC is set to begin a ten-year contract to carry the Grammys with the next ceremony starting in 2027.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>Less than a month after terminating their contracts with FanDuel Sports Network (see 1/8 entry), Major League Baseball's Milwaukee Brewers, Miami Marlins, Kansas City Royals, St. Louis Cardinals, Cincinnati Reds, and Tampa Bay Rays announce they will partner with MLB Local Media for production and distribution of their local telecasts beginning in 2026. The Detroit Tigers would announce on February 9, that both they and the NHL's Detroit Red Wings, both of which are owned by Ilitch Holdings, will join MLB Local Media.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>NBC News and Today co-host Savannah Guthrie announces she would take a leave of absence, in the search of her mother Nancy Guthrie, who was reported missing during the week and later revealed to have been kidnapped from her Tucson, Arizona, home on February 1. Guthrie withdrew from her hosting duties for the opening ceremony of NBC's live coverage of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy. She was replaced by Mary Carillo for the live coverage, while Today co-host Craig Melvin would also withdraw from his co-hosting duties for NBC's Olympics coverage on this date in help for the search. It marked the first time that Guthrie and Melvin missed NBC's Olympics coverage since 2014 and 2016 respectively.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>6–22</td><td>The 2026 Winter Olympics airs on NBC and streams on Peacock. Highlights include the American women's and men's ice hockey teams winning the gold medals over their Canadian counterparts in overtime, with the latter game (the first gold medal for the men's Team USA since 1980) drawing 26 million American viewers, ranking among the most-watched hockey telecasts in American history, while the women's contest peaked at over 7 million viewers during its overtime period, a record for a women's hockey telecast.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>8</td><td>The Seattle Seahawks defeat the New England Patriots 29–13 to win Super Bowl LX, which was broadcast at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara on NBC, with Spanish language coverage on Telemundo and streaming on Peacock. The game drew particular attention for its halftime show with Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny as its headliner, who performed his set almost entirely in Spanish (a first for the event); opposition to the selection led to a competing halftime counterprogram, the All-American Halftime Show, featuring country musicians and drawing several million viewers against the official broadcast.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>11</td><td>On the day Rehab Addict was scheduled to return on HGTV with new episodes, the network announces the show's immediate cancellation and removal from HBO Max and Discovery+, as well as the firing of its host, Nicole Curtis, following a video being posted online of Curtis using a racial slur during filming for the series.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Charter Communications announces it will purchase New England Cable News from NBCUniversal, and that it will merge NECN's operations with its existing Spectrum News channels in New England (including those in Massachusetts and Maine) under the new name Spectrum News NECN.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>13</td><td>Following the death of James Van Der Beek due to colorectal cancer, Fox announces it would re-air the special The Real Full Monty on February 18 to honor the actor, replacing repeats of The Masked Singer and Fear Factor: House of Fear. A QR code was displayed throughout the broadcast to encourage viewers to donate to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Granite Broadcasting completes the sale of its last remaining license, WTVH in Syracuse, New York, to Deerfield Media, and with it Granite shuts down.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>16</td><td>Anderson Cooper departs as a correspondent for 60 Minutes after contributing to the news program since 2006. His decision comes amidst turbulence within CBS's news division.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>26</td><td>Hours after the board of Warner Bros. Discovery declares an increased competing bid by Paramount Skydance superior, Netflix, Inc. announces it will decline to add to the $83 billion purchase price it struck in a December 2025 agreement with WBD and not match Paramount's bid. Pending regulatory approval, this leads to Paramount to acquire all of WBD including its film and television production operations and cable networks including CNN, TBS, and TNT (Netflix had intended to only acquire WBD's film and television studios as well as the HBO premium channels and HBO Max, while the cable networks would have been spun off to a separate company).</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>28</td><td>While anchoring CNN and CNN International's overnight breaking news coverage on the strikes in Iran by Israeli and the United States on CNN Newsroom, at the network's studio in Abu Dhabi, host Becky Anderson was forced to evacuate as the tones of the city's emergency sirens became audible in the background of the studio feed.</td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>

March

<table><thead><tr><th>Date</th><th>Event</th><th>Ref.</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>1</td><td>The 32nd Actor Awards (formerly the Screen Actors Guild Awards) streams live on Netflix.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>9</td><td>Instead of aligning with MLB Local Media as other teams formerly seen on FanDuel Sports Network have done (see 2/2 entry), Major League Baseball's Los Angeles Angels announce they will instead buy Main Street Sports Group's portion of FanDuel Sports Network West, which will continue operation under that name and serve as local television home to the Angels and, through at least its 2026–27 season, the NHL's Los Angeles Kings.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>13</td><td>NBCUniversal announces that it would discontinue producing first-run content for broadcast syndication, resulting in the cancelations of its remaining programming, including the entertainment newsmagazine Access Hollywood for (and its daytime counterpart Access Live) and the daytime talk shows Karamo, and The Steve Wilkos Show. The decision comes a month after The Kelly Clarkson Show (also produced by NBCU) was announced to end after its seventh season. New episodes of the cancelled shows will continue to be released to stations through September, and reruns from the NBCU library will continue to be available to stations.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>15</td><td>The 98th Academy Awards airs on ABC from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Conan O'Brien returns for his second consecutive year as host.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>16</td><td>Reruns of the 1985–1992 NBC sitcom The Golden Girls return to broadcast television for the first time since the end of its off-network syndication run in 1997, as Weigel's classic television service MeTV begins carrying the series, which had been exclusive to pay television channels and services during that period and remained popular among viewers of all ages in that time span. The Golden Girls continues to be available on pay television channels and streaming services, in addition to its return to broadcast television.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>19</td><td>The FCC votes to approve Nexstar Media Group's $6.2 billion acquisition of fellow station operator Tegna. Hours later, the companies announce their merger was complete, creating a company that owns and operates 265 stations in 44 states and D.C. The deal, however, is met with criticisms by attorney generals in eight states, along with satellite operator DirecTV, who on March 20 file temporary restraining orders to stop the merger out of concerns over job losses in markets where the combined Nexstar-Tegna own multiple stations, as well as the increased leverage the company will exert on cable and satellite distributors to pay more in retransmission fees to carry their channels. On March 26, a U.S. District Judge in California orders a 14-day temporary restraining order on the merger, saying that "private benefits Nexstar could obtain by acquiring Tegna are outweighed by the harm to" DirecTV; the judge orders Nexstar and Tegna to pause integration efforts and operate separately, and also sets an April 7 hearing on whether a more permanent injunction to halt the deal should be made.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Three days before its twenty-second season was scheduled to premiere on March 22, ABC pulls The Bachelorette from its lineup amid a domestic assault investigation against star Taylor Frankie Paul.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>26</td><td>The 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards airs on Fox from Los Angeles' Dolby Theatre with Ludacris as host.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>31</td><td>A carriage dispute begins between Xfinity and the E. W. Scripps Company, blacking out affiliate stations owned by Scripps.</td></tr></tbody></table>

• On July 17, 2025, Stephen Colbert announced on The Late Show that the show would be ending in May 2026, which received some controversy. Although some sources and CBS claim that the network is ending the show for financial reasons, other sources claim that the show was canceled for political reasons due to Colbert's comments regarding the second Trump administration as well as Paramount's settlement with Donald Trump's lawsuit regarding Kamala Harris' October 2024 60 Minutes interview (which also came as the Paramount-Skydance merger still awaited to be closed), with Colbert's comments occurring just three days before his announcement of the show's cancellation.

Although no public announcement officially confirmed the closure, the network's website stated that no programming would air after 6AM ET.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>FanDuel Sports Network</td><td>Regional sports networks</td><td>April</td><td>On February 1, Main Street Sports Group informed the teams to which it held rights that it had begun the process of shutting down the remaining regional sports networks in its portfolio. The closure of the networks will occur after the NHL and NBA regular seasons conclude in April, so as to fulfill the remaining major league contracts the networks hold. Major League Baseball, which had been about to start spring training at the time of the announcement, will bring regional telecasts of its teams in-house via MLB Advanced Media, which will stream the games in-market. The closure brings an end to the network after 37 years; originally established as Prime Sports Network in 1989, it became Fox Sports Networks in 1996, after which the network was divested in 2019, but a plan to sell the network to ESPN was vetoed by antitrust regulators. Subsequent owners had low funding to maintain the stations as cable subscription revenue declined, resulting in missed payments, bankruptcies and the termination of its rights contracts.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>BET+</td><td>Over-the-top streaming service</td><td>June</td><td>On March 13, Paramount Skydance announced that they had acquired Tyler Perry Studios' stake in BET+ and will shut down the service and merge its programming into Paramount+ in June.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Hulu</td><td>TBA</td><td>On August 6, 2025, The Walt Disney Company announced that it would be shutting down its standalone Hulu app sometime during 2026; with plans to fully merge Hulu with Disney+, though it will remain as its own brand as a part of that service.</td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>

July 30	New Jersey	NJ PBS	.1	PBS	On September 23, 2025, the WNET Group, which operates NJ PBS, announced that it would not renew its contract with the New Jersey Public Broadcasting Authority, the owner of the transmitters of NJ PBS, citing cuts from both the Federal and New Jersey State Governments over public broadcasting. While the WNET will air its newscast via WNET in Northern and Central New Jersey, the non-renewal would lead to the station disaffiliating with PBS or shutting down completely unless a new operator is found. WNET will support the state during the transition and would partner with other New Jersey-based institutions who are interested in operating NJ PBS.	2011
