The following is a list of events affecting American television in 2017. Events listed include television show debuts, finales, and cancellations; channel launches, closures, and re-brandings; stations changing or adding their network affiliations; and information about controversies and carriage disputes.

Notable events

January

Date Event
1 Hearst Television stations in 26 markets are removed from DirecTV due to the companies failing to reach a new retransmission contract.[1]
2–13 Former Today anchors Katie Couric and Meredith Vieira rejoin Matt Lauer on the Today anchor desk, with Couric appearing the week of January 2nd and Viera week of January 9th. The appearances are to help fete Lauer's 20th anniversary on the NBC morning news/talk show, to help fill the void left by current co-anchor Savannah Guthrie's maternity leave, and to mark Today's 65th anniversary.[2]
3 NBC News announces the hiring of Megyn Kelly from Fox News, where she was host of The Kelly File. At NBC, she will host a daytime news and discussion program and a Sunday newsmagazine, and is figured to play a prominent role in the network's political and major news coverage.[3]
4 The FCC approves a waiver in regulations allowing Mexico's Televisa to increase its ownership stake in Univision Communications from 10% to 40%. This waiver of the 1934 law, which applies only to any Televisa/Univision transaction (foreign ownership in any U.S. communications company is limited to 25%), will allow Televisa to expand its long-sought control of Univision, which has sought out ways to stay financially competitive.[4]
5 As part of a new contract with ESPN, Chris Berman will step down from his role as host of NFL studio programming, as well as the Major League Baseball Home Run Derby. The sportscaster, who has been with the network from its inception in 1979, will stay on as a commentator for Monday Night Countdown and call the MLB Division Series for ESPN Radio.[5]
Former Fox News Channel anchor Greta Van Susteren is named to the evening lineup of rival MSNBC, where she will host For the Record, a 6pm news and analysis show based in Washington, DC. Van Susteren's program, debuting on January 9, replaces the rebroadcast of Bloomberg Television's With All Due Respect, which ended in December 2016.[6]
