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] The stations are restored on January 6 with a new retrans agreement.[2]
WBTS-LD (a former translator of Merrimack, New Hampshire-licensed Telemundo O&O WNEU) signs on as Boston's NBC owned-and-operated station with a rebroadcast of the city's First Night New Year's Eve festivities, replacing Sunbeam Television-owned WHDH, which ended its 68-year tenure as a network affiliate, having served as a CBS affiliate since its initial sign-on as WNAC-TV (1948-1961, later rejoined in 1972 until 1995), ABC (1961-1972) and NBC (1995-2017), respectively. The switch comes after parent company Comcast (which acquired the station from ZGS Communications in September 2016) announced that it will launch an NBC O&O station in the Boston market (potentially using WNEU, which was announced in November 2016 that it will simulcast the station on one of its subchannels) after WHDH failed to renew its affiliation contract with the network.[3]
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 2 and Viera the week of January 9. 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.[4]
3 NBC News announces the hiring of Megyn Kelly from Fox News, where she was host of The Kelly File (which aired its last edition on January 6). At NBC, she will host a daytime news and discussion program (reported to be replacing the existing Today's Take format of the third hour of Today) and a Sunday newsmagazine, and is figured to play a prominent role in the network's political and major news coverage.[5]
4 The FCC approves a waiver in regulations allowing Mexican media company 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.[6]
5 As part of a new contract with ESPN, Chris Berman announced he would step down from his role as host of the network's 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.[7]
Former Fox News Channel anchor Greta Van Susteren is hired by rival MSNBC, where she will host For the Record, an early-evening 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.[8]
6 Hearst Television announces that it had acquired a majority stake in Charleston, South Carolina-based Litton Entertainment, which controls four of the five E/I-compliant Saturday morning blocks on the five major broadcast networks, along with being a syndicator of traditional programming, for an undisclosed amount (the company's CEO, Dave Morgan, was a former employee of Hearst). The deal was closed on February 1.[9][10]
8 The motion picture La La Land (with a record seven wins, including best musical/comedy film) and TV newcomers Atlanta and The Crown (best comedy/musical and drama series, respectively) are among the notable winners at the 74th Golden Globe Awards. Jimmy Fallon emcees the ceremony on NBC.[11]
12 C-SPAN's live coverage of a United States House of Representatives debate abruptly switches for 10 minutes to a live feed of RT. Though fears are suggested that the feed was hijacked by pro-Russian hackers (RT is funded by the Government of Russia), C-SPAN initially believes it was due to an internal routing error (RT is one of several networks that C-SPAN monitors for news coverage).[12]
Former HBO employee Jennifer Choi is sentenced to 30 months in prison after admitting to bilking nearly $1 million from the network over a six-year period (2008-2014). Choi had worked in talent relations for HBO, and plead guilty in January 2016 to charges of wire fraud and tax evasion. She admitted to submitting invoices and reaping money for services never rendered by a shell company she controlled, as well as charging $63,000 to HBO's account for car service bills for her family and friends. Choi also faces three years of post-jail supervised release (during which she cannot be employed in a capacity where she is in charge of an employer's funds) and must also pay restitution to HBO and back taxes.[13]
15 An audience of 48.5 million watch Fox's live broadcast of the National Football Conference Championship game between the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys, one marked by Packers kicker Mason Crosby's game-ending, game-winning 51-yard field goal. The audience for the telecast is the largest ever for an NFL divisional round game, outdrawing last season's NFC Championship game (45.7 million) and falling just behind 2015's NFC title game (49.8 million).[14]
16 After a 19-month hiatus, Bob Beckel returns to Fox News Channel as co-host of The Five. Beckel, who joined FNC in 2000 as a political contributor and is one of the original co-hosts of the early-evening political opinion program since its 2011 debut, left the program in 2015 to join CNN as a commentator. Current co-host Juan Williams, who will continue to appear on The Five, will remain as Fox News contributor across all programs.[15]
17 Almost a full year after the deal was first announced, due in part to delays in license transfer approvals caused by the agency's auction of broadcast spectrum to telecommunications providers, and six days after the FCC gives its approval, Nexstar Broadcasting Group completes its $4.6 billion acquisition of Media General. The combined company, now known as Nexstar Media Group, includes a portfolio of 171 full-power stations, covering 100 markets (including 16 of the top 50,) and nearly 39% of the U.S. Among these stations, MyNetworkTV affiliate KRON-TV/San Francisco becomes Nexstar's largest station by market size and its second to be based in a top-10 market (after WHAG-TV/Hagerstown, Maryland, which is licensed within the Washington, D.C. market).[16]
On the same day Dish Network reaches a retransmission deal to avert a blackout of Gray Television's stations, the lack of a new carriage pact leads to the removal of 12 Bonten Media Group stations in eight markets from the satellite service.[17]
Shark Tank host Kevin O'Leary announces on his Facebook page that he will return to his native Canada to run for the leadership post of that country's Conservative Party, joining a fielded crowd of 13 candidates who are vying for that job in an election that will take place on May 27. If elected, O'Leary will face off against the country's current Prime Minister, Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau, in a 2019 national election (or an earlier election if called for).[18]
18 Britney Spears (four awards) and Ellen DeGeneres (three awards, making her the most awarded in the show's history) are among the notable winners at the 43rd People's Choice Awards.[19] Joel McHale hosts the telecast, which airs on CBS.[20]
22 Several contributors to Fox News Channel are cut from the network, including longtime contributors George Will and former Fox News Watch panelist Cal Thomas, along with Ed Rollins, former U.S. Senator Alphonse D'Amato and actress Stacey Dash, who was a regular panelist on Outnumbered and had made several controversial statements.[21][22]
29 The Miss Universe 2016 pageant is held at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay, Metro Manila, Philippines and broadcast on Fox and Azteca, with Steve Harvey as host (who humorously addressed his mistake during the previous year's pageant, in which he accidentally announced Ariadna Gutiérrez of Colombia as the winner before being corrected that Pia Wurtzbach of the Philippines had actually won). Iris Mittenaere of France is selected as the winner, ending a 63-year drought for the country, when Christiane Martel took the title in 1953.[23][24] This marked the second time that the pageant skipped a year since the Miss Universe 2014, which was held in Miami, Florida in January 2015.[25]
31 With one final ESPN assignment on this date (a Georgia/Kentucky men's basketball game), Brent Musburger ends a nearly 50-year TV sportscasting career spent covering various events for ESPN, ABC, and CBS.[26]

February

Date Event
1 The networks and owned-and-operated television stations of Univision Communications (including Univision, UniMas, Galavision, Fusion, Univision tlnovelas and the Univision Deportes Network, along with the American simulcasts of several domestic Mexican Televisa networks) are removed from Charter/Spectrum systems nationwide due to an ongoing retransmission dispute between the companies.[27] The next day, a judge overseeing a carriage fee lawsuit between the two companies orders the Univision channels to be restored on Charter/Spectrum.[28] The companies later agree to temporarily keep the channels on Charter/Spectrum until at least June.[29]
5 Super Bowl LI airs on Fox in English and on Fox Deportes in Spanish, with 111.3 million viewers watching the New England Patriots come back from a 25-point 3rd quarter deficit to defeat the Atlanta Falcons in the first Super Bowl to go into overtime.[30] Lady Gaga is the headliner in the halftime show, a critically acclaimed performance that draws 117.5 million viewers, the fourth consecutive year the halftime show outdraws the Super Bowl itself.[30][31] Two noteworthy ads that debut that make light of U.S. President Donald Trump's signing of executive orders that ban travelers from several Muslim nations and orders a physical wall to be built between Mexico and the United States. An ad for Budweiser beer depicts Anheuser-Busch co-founder Adolphus Busch's emigration to the United States from Germany and his first meeting with Eberhard Anheuser,[32] while one for 84 Lumber depicts a mother and daughter journeying from Mexico to the United States, a shorter version of a full ad made available online (after Fox rejects the longer version for being overtly political).[33][34][35][36]
6 Fox affiliate WFXG/Augusta, Georgia begins migrating production of its news programming in-house with the debut of a 3½-hour weekday morning newscast that is produced out of expanded space at the station's studios in nearby Martinez. The Raycom Media station had been outsourcing its newscasts since 2004, when it premiered a 10:00 p.m. broadcast produced under an agreement with ABC affiliate WJBF. After WJBF took over the news operations of NBC affiliate WAGT through a since-discontinued shared services agreement between their respective ex-owners Media General and Schurz Communications in October 2011, production of the program's in-studio segments transferred to CBS-affiliated sister WTOC-TV/Savannah, with WFXG maintaining a limited staff of Augusta-based multimedia journalists to file field reports.[37] WTOC will continue to produce all studio segments for the prime time newscast in the interim until WFXG expands its news staff.[38]
9 Bob Costas announces during a live interview on Today that he will step down as prime time host of NBC's Olympic Games coverage and Sunday Night Football, duties he has held for NBC Sports since 1992 and 2006, respectively. Costas will hand the duties to Mike Tirico, who joined NBC Sports in 2016 after a quarter century at ESPN, beginning with the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.[39]
Viacom announces a plan to realign its cable television division to focus on six core channels: MTV, Nickelodeon, Nick Jr., Comedy Central, BET, and Spike, the latter of which will rebrand to the Paramount Network in early 2018.[40][41]
11 Alec Baldwin hosts Saturday Night Live for the 17th time, setting the record for the most appearances as the show's guest host, having made his first appearance in 1990. The episode was Baldwin's first time hosting during the 42nd season, after having appeared as Donald Trump in several sketches in most of the season's episodes to date, succeeding Darrell Hammond. This episode – which also featured performances by musical guest Ed Sheeran and a special guest appearance by Melissa McCarthy as White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer in the cold open (the second consecutive episode she has done so) – delivered a 3.10 rating and an audience of 10.843 million, the largest for the NBC late night live television sketch comedy and variety show since the January 8, 2011 episode hosted by Jim Carrey with musical guest The Black Keys.[42]
12 Adele (who, despite dropping an obscenity while asking for a do over during a tribute to George Michael, would emerge as the winner Album, Record, and Song of the Year categories, for 25 and "Hello", respectively), David Bowie (five posthumous wins, all for his last album Blackstar), Chance the Rapper (Best New Artist, the first unsigned artist to win in this category), Twenty One Pilots (who would accept their win in the Pop Duo performance category for "Stressed Out" while wearing underwear), and Maren Morris (Country solo for "My Church") are among the notable winners at the 59th Grammy Awards. James Corden hosts the event, which airs on CBS.[43] Other major performances during the telecast include pregnant two-time winner Beyonce ("Love Drought" and "Sandcastles"), Lady Gaga with Metallica ("Moth Into Flame," despite minor sound issues), Katy Perry ("Chained to the Rhythm", while the U.S. constitution is displayed in the background), The Time with Bruno Mars (a Tribute to Prince), and a controversial performance by A Tribe Called Quest with Anderson Paak, Busta Rhymes, and Consequence attacking Donald Trump's travel ban while performing "We the People...."[44][45]
13 Nick Cannon announces he will not return as host of America's Got Talent, citing creative differences between him and executives at NBC. The resignation comes in the wake of news that the network considered firing Cannon, who hosted the variety competition for eight seasons, after he made disparaging remarks about NBC in a recent Showtime comedy special, Stand Up, Don't Shoot. "I love art and entertainment too much to watch it be ruined by controlling corporations and big business," Cannon said in a statement, referencing cable giant Comcast's ownership of NBC.[46]
15 KSWL-LD/Lake Charles, Louisiana signs on the air as the market's CBS affiliate, returning the network to Lake Charles for the first time since KTAG-TV ceased operations in 1961. Prior to the sign-on, viewers in the market could only receive CBS programming via KLFY-TV/Lafayette and KFDM-TV/Beaumont, Texas. Shortly after KSWL made its debut, its owner, Waypoint Media, also acquired KWWE-LD, which is converted into a MyNetworkTV affiliate (with MeTV on its LD2 subchannel).[47]
16 Gray Television announces its intent to purchase CBS affiliate WABI-TV/Bangor, Maine and ABC affiliate WCJB/Gainesville, Florida from Diversified Communications for $85 million. The deal, which will mark Diversified's exit from broadcasting once the purchase receives FCC approval, will end WABI's status as the oldest continuously family-owned station in the U.S. and will reunite the station with fellow CBS outlet WAGM-TV/Presque Isle, which Diversified had owned from 1971 to 1984 (it would eventually be sold to Gray in 2015).[48]
19 Discussion forms on The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) are shuttered. The Amazon-owned platform, which catalogs a database of films, television, and performers, announced the move on February 3, citing the migration of entertainment discussions to social media as well as the disruption of user experiences and user ratings by internet trolls.[49]
NBC celebrates its 90th anniversary of broadcasting with a three-hour special, The Paley Center Salutes NBC’s 90th Anniversary. Hosted by Kelsey Grammer, the program features a look back at NBC's most well-known former and current programs (including dramas, comedies, late night and variety shows, NBC News programs, television specials, sporting events among others) and recorded interviews with the network's past and present talents. The network began its operations in 1926 as a radio network when it was founded by former owner Radio Corporation of America (RCA), and launched its television service in 1941 with the launch of an experimental television station that would later become its New York City flagship WNBC-TV.[50]
23 The FCC issues a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that would authorize broadcasters to utilize ATSC 3.0, the second generation of the digital television broadcast standard that will enable television stations to provide improved better management of offer features such as ultra-high-definition content, enhanced bandwidth and compression efficiency, datacasting, targeted advertising and upgrades to the Emergency Alert System. Unlike with the transition to the current ATSC 1.0 standard, broadcasters could adopt the standard (which would require launching a separate digital signal) on a voluntary basis and would not mandatorily require television and mobile phone manufacturers to include tuning capability for viewers to receive the signals nor would employ government subsidies for consumers to make the transition. The rules were put into place despite concerns about issues concerning requirements that pay television providers carry 1.0 and 3.0 signals of participating stations at the expense of other channels, effects on consumers and voluntary broadcaster adoption of the standard.[51]
The Meredith Corporation announces that it will purchase the license assets of independent station WPCH-TV/Atlanta – which Meredith had been operating since 2011 under joint sales and shared services agreements with its existing CBS affiliate WGCL-TV – from the Turner Broadcasting System for $70 million. The sale, which is expected to be completed by June 30, was reportedly done to expedite Turner parent Time Warner's merger with AT&T. Turner Broadcasting founder Ted Turner purchased the station (then WJRJ) in 1970, and uplinked it to satellite in December 1976, making it the first national superstation – later known as TBS – and the first basic cable channel in the U.S. The Atlanta station was separated from the national TBS feed in October 2007, after the latter acquired partial national cable rights to air Major League Baseball games (TBS' Atlanta Braves game telecasts were relegated to WPCH for exclusive local broadcast thereafter, before Fox Sports South fully assumed the regional television rights in 2013).[52][53]
26 La La Land (six awards) and Moonlight (Best Picture) are among the notable winners at the 89th Academy Awards. Jimmy Kimmel hosts the event, which airs on ABC. Throughout the show, Jimmy renews his "feud" with Matt Damon in a skit harshly criticizing Damon's 2011 film We Bought a Zoo, has announcer Randy Thomas introduce him as only the unnamed "guest" of Ben Affleck, and conducts the orchestra to play him off while Damon presents the award for Best Adapted Screenplay.[54] The telecast also includes several jokes and pro-diversity comments from winners and presenters in response to President Donald Trump's immigration policies, such as those in which Kimmel live-tweets Trump, who hadn't responded to the comments on his Twitter account since the show's start (Trump was hosting the annual Governor's Ball at the White House during the ceremony) and[55] gives a speech in which he jokingly agrees with Trump's tweets about Meryl Streep's pro-diversity speech at the Golden Globes, in which Trump called her "overrated."[56] In an infamous moment, La La Land is accidentally announced as Best Picture winner, after presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway are mistakenly given the envelope disclosing La La Land's Emma Stone as Best Actress winner; La La Land producer Jordan Horowitz interrupts to clarify that Moonlight was the actual winner.[57] PricewaterhouseCoopers, the accounting firm which secures the envelopes, would later issue a sincere apology for the error and promise to investigate it.[58] It was reported the man who handed Beatty the envelope was tweeting a picture he took of Stone with her trophy instead of concentrating on his duties.[59] In addition, ESPN (through its in-house film division) is given the first Oscar for Best Documentary Feature ever awarded to a sports-centric broadcaster, as well as the first longest-running documentary or motion picture to achieve this feat (clocking in at 7 hours and 47 minutes), for its 30 for 30 miniseries feature O.J.: Made in America.[60] History is also made for streaming services Netflix, which scored its first win with the Syrian-produced documentary short The White Helmets,[61] and Amazon Studios with Manchester by the Sea for Best Original Screenplay (Kenneth Lonergan) and Best Actor (Casey Affleck); the first-ever film released by a digital streaming service to be nominated for Best Picture,[62] and The Salesman (for Best Foreign Language Film; Amazon holds U.S. rights to the Iranian/French-produced film).[63] The ceremony, which runs for three hours and 49 minutes (the longest telecast in 10 years), would deliver an overnight 22.4 rating and 32.9 million total viewers, the lowest viewership average for the ceremony since the 2008 telecast.[64]

March

Date Event
1 Aiming to improve U.S./Mexico relations in the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump's executive order proposing a wall on the countries' border and mass deportations of illegal Mexican immigrants (moves that have caused a diplomatic crisis between the countries), Conan O'Brien takes his TBS talk show to Mexico. The special episode, titled "Conan Without Borders: Made in Mexico" and taped with an all-Mexican crew and audience at Televisa's Mexico City studios, features as guests actor/producer/director Diego Luna, former Mexican President Vicente Fox, and Top Chef Mexico Judge Aquiles Chavez, as well as O'Brien's attending a Quinceañera and soliciting (without success) donations to fund the wall in person-on-the-street segments.[65]
3 Hearst Television stations in 26 markets are removed from Dish Network due to the companies failing to reach a new retransmission contract.[66]
8 By a 91-21 margin (with 12 other ballots challenged or uncounted) in NLRB-administered balloting, actors employed by Telemundo for the Spanish-language network's scripted programming vote to unionize with SAG-AFTRA, bringing a close to a 15-year labor dispute between the entertainers' union and Telemundo parent NBCUniversal. SAG-AFTRA had argued that NBCUniversal maintains a double standard by allowing its English-language performers to unionize while refusing the same right to Spanish-speaking actors.[67] The move marks the first time in which a Spanish-language television broadcaster has allowed to have its employers to become part of a labor union.[68]
16 Entravision Communications announces that it will purchase Action Channel affiliate KMCC/Laughlin, Nevada from Beam Tilt, LLC (a subsidiary of Chicago-based Cranston Acquisition LLC) for $3.75 million. The sale will create a triopoly with Entravision's existing Las Vegas stations, Univision affiliate KINC and UniMás affiliate KELV-LD (Laughlin is part of the Las Vegas market), and the second full-power duopoly in the market (after Sinclair Broadcast Group-owned NBC affiliate KSNV and CW affiliate KVCW); the deal complies with current FCC duopoly regulations as neither station is among the Las Vegas market's four highest-rated and the market will have more than eight independent station owners once the sale is finalized.[69][70][71]
21 Fox News Channel suspends legal analyst Andrew Napolitano from on-air appearances after he makes a bogus claim that the British spy agency Government Communications Headquarters had illegally wire tapped Trump Tower at the request of outgoing President Barack Obama during the 2016 US Presidential election.[72] Napolitano, still standing by his claims, returns to Fox News' air on March 29.[73]
28 Fox's New Girl answers a long-unresolved question with the revelation of Schmidt's (Max Greenfield) first name — Winston (the same as that of fellow roommate Winston L'Andre Bishop, played by Lamorne Morris) — in the episode "San Diego."[74]
31 After a 16-month absence, Comcast restores YES Network to its cable systems in the wake of the sides resolving a carriage dispute.[75]

Future events

April

Date Event
15 Beginning with this night's broadcast (with host Jimmy Fallon and musical guest Harry Styles), the last four episodes of the season for NBC's Saturday Night Live will be carried live for the first time across all four time zones in the Contiguous United States (though it will also air at its usual time on a second-run tape delay in the Pacific Time Zone, and delayed as usual after late local newscasts on affiliates in Alaska, Hawaii, Guam and the Mariana Islands). The March 16 announcement of the nationwide live broadcast of the 42nd season's remaining episodes came one week after NBC announced that it would also air 30-minute live prime time editions of the show's Weekend Update segment in August.[76]

May

Date Event
9 The 2017 MTV Movie Awards will air on MTV, with the addition of television honors to the formerly movie-centric telecast (and retitling of the show to reflect the addition); the program will also return to a live format from Los Angeles's Shrine Auditorium.[77]
21 The 2017 Billboard Music Awards will air on ABC.[78]
22 The ABC reality dating series The Bachelorette will begin its 13th season with Rachel Lindsay (who competed as a contestant on the 21st season of The Bachelor, on which she was still appearing when the announcement was made on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on February 12) as the lead who must choose one of 25 male participants. Lindsay becomes the first African-American to serve as a lead in The Bachelor franchise, which had been criticized in recent years over the lack of diversity with its contestants overall (with most black contestants of color, Lindsay being an exception, often being eliminated from the competition prior to the "Hometown Dates" round), and was the subject of a 2012 lawsuit from two Tennessee men whose applications were rejected by the program, accusing creator/executive producer Mike Fleiss and his production company Next Entertainment, NZK Productions and Warner Horizon Television of intentionally excluding people of color from being cast as leads in the franchise (the suit that was later dismissed after a judge ruled that casting decisions made by ABC and the franchise's producers were protected by the First Amendment).[79][80][81]
31 CBS affiliate KFMB-TV will assume the San Diego market's CW affiliation from XETV-TDT (licensed across the Mexican border in Tijuana, Baja California), moving the network to the station's third digital subchannel (replacing Grit, which will move to the station's fourth subchannel). The move will also end XETV's 63-year run as an English-language television station, having served as an affiliate of ABC (1956-1973) and Fox (1986-2008) and as an independent during its tenure, with parent company Televisa dissolving the American managerial licensee that runs its San Diego-based operations (Bay City Television) and the station's news department (which will shut down on March 31); XETV will simultaneously convert into an affiliate of a yet-undetermined Spanish language network, in addition to its existing Canal 5 affiliation on its second subchannel. The switch will make San Diego the largest U.S. market with a subchannel-only CW affiliate (superseding WKRC-DT2/Cincinnati) and the largest overall in which any of the five major networks maintains a subchannel-only affiliation.[82][83][84]
TBA Star Trek returns to television on CBS All Access with a new Star Trek series, subtitled Discovery. This ends the absence of Star Trek on broadcast television since Enterprise was cancelled in 2005.[85]

Spring

Date Event
TBD YouTube will enter the over-the-top MVPD field with the rollout of YouTube TV. Announced on February 28 and expected to initially launch in select major U.S. cities, the service will offer live streams of programming from the five major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and The CW), as well as an initially announced slate of approximately 40 cable channels owned by NBCUniversal, CBS Corporation, 21st Century Fox and The Walt Disney Company (including among others USA Network, Disney Channel, FX and ESPN, with Showtime and Fox Soccer Plus available as add-ons for an extra fee) and access to YouTube Red original content. The lineup is smaller than the more than 100 channels offered by AT&T's DirecTV Now,[86] and does not include channels owned by major groups like Viacom, Time Warner, Discovery Communications, A+E Networks or AMC Networks.[87] Features will include the ability to create up of six user account profiles per a single subscription (with separate log-ins and access to three simultaneous streams per account) and a cloud DVR with unlimited storage that can retain recorded programming for nine months after their original airdate.[88][89][90]

June

Date Event
1 KBJO-LD – one of the three flagship stations owned by the locally based News-Press & Gazette Company – will become the CBS affiliate for St. Joseph, Missouri, becoming the network's first in-market affiliate in the area since 1967, when KQTV (then KFEQ-TV, which signed on as a CBS station in September 1953) switched to a full-time affiliation with ABC. The move, which will also likely result in KBJO moving its existing Telemundo affiliation to a new digital subchannel, will displace KCTV/Kansas City as the default CBS affiliate for the market. As NPG already controls the market's Fox, NBC and CW affiliations respectively through KBJO sisters KNPN-LD and KNPG-LD, the switch will leave MyNetworkTV as the only conventional English language broadcast network available in the St. Joseph area through a Kansas City-based station (KCTV's MyNetworkTV-affiliated sister station, KSMO-TV, is receivable over-the-air and is also carried on Suddenlink, Dish Network and DirecTV in the St. Joseph market).[91][92]
30 After a 40-year career as reporter and anchor, including a 25-year tenure as anchorwoman for KUSA-TV/Denver, Adele Arakawa will retire from the Tegna-owned NBC affiliate on this date.[93][94]

July

Date Event
1 NBC will launch a new Telemundo owned-and-operated station in the San Diego market (potentially on a KNSD subchannel) that will replace Entravision's XHAS-TDT (licensed in Tijuana). XHAS will become an affiliate of the American Azteca network, owned by Mexican conglomerate Azteca S.A. de C.V. (the parent of Tijuana's Azteca Trece affiliate XHJK-TDT and Azteca 7 transmitter XHTIT-TDT), displacing the market's existing low-power Azteca affiliate KZSD-LP. With this switch as well as The CW's migration from XETV-TDT to KFMB-DT3, the move would result in Tijuana-based MyNetworkTV affiliate XHDTV-TDT becoming the last remaining Mexican-licensed station to serve the San Diego market to be affiliated with one of the major English or Spanish language networks.[95][96][97][98]

PBS Kids Over-the-air multicast January 16[222] The 24/7 digital broadcast network, available on many PBS member stations as a digital subchannel (particularly those which in the past, PBS had routinely supplied content for their independently programmed, kid-targeted subchannels) and through apps and streaming services, features a broad mix of the public television service's current inventory of children's programming. The PBS Kids channel marks PBS' third national children's television network venture; the service operated a DirecTV-funded cable/satellite channel from 1999 to 2005, and formerly co-owned Sprout in conjunction with Comcast and several minority partners from 2005 to 2013. [223][224][225][226]
TBD Over-the-air multicast February 13 Launching on subchannels of stations that Sinclair Broadcast Group owns or operates, the network – which soft-launched on five stations: CBS affiliate WTVH/Syracuse, New York; Fox affiliates WLUK-TV/Green Bay, Wisconsin, KDSM-TV/Des Moines and KABB/San Antonio; and Univision affiliate KUNP/La Grande–Portland, Oregon – features programming and content originating from various premium internet partners. [227][228]
Charge! Over-the-air multicast February 28 Operated as a joint venture between Sinclair Broadcast Group and MGM Television (which also jointly own the science fiction-focused multicast network Comet), Charge will focus on action- and adventure-themed films, as well as a very limited number of television series, sourced primarily from the MGM library. [229][230]

Network closures

Northwest Cable News Regional cable & OTA January 6 Launched in December 1995 by the Providence Journal Company, the Tegna Media-owned Seattle-based news channel drew resources and content from Tegna stations in Seattle, Portland, Spokane, and Boise. NWCN's shutdown on this date arrives after the retirements or contract buyouts of several high-profile on- and off-screen talent in April 2016, and also comes at a time when the channel's viewership decreased in the face of increased news consumption on other non-TV platforms, along with KTVB's carriage ending due to a corporate mandate to carry the Justice Network. Approximately 25 employees were affected, more than half of whom moved to new positions at other Tegna stations. [231]
Cloo Cable and satellite February 1 The channel launched in 1994 as the CBC-owned arts and culture channel Trio, and was eventually acquired by NBCUniversal, which would convert the channel to Sleuth in 2006, carrying crime and mystery content from the NBCUniversal library. Under Comcast's ownership, the channel rebranded to Cloo in August 2011, but would decline due to a drift in format, no original programming output, the easy availability of its programming through other outlets, and its being dropped by several key cable/satellite providers. [232]
The Works OTA digital broadcast February 27 Launched in January 2015, the MGM-owned general entertainment multicast network featured a mix of feature films, classic television sitcoms and drama series from the 1950s through the 1980s, and some limited news and interview programming. The majority of the network's former affiliates – most of which were owned by Titan Broadcast Management – replaced The Works with Sinclair Broadcast Group/MGM joint venture network Charge!, when that network launched on February 28. [233]
Esquire Network Cable and satellite Summer The Comcast-owned network launched in 1998 as Style, but rebranded to Esquire in 2013 (under a license deal with Esquire publisher Hearst Corporation) in an effort to reach male viewers. (It had been set to replace G4, which was later shut down, but the plan was changed due to G4's lack of satellite distribution.) Esquire's viability diminished after DirecTV dropped the channel in December 2016 over low viewership and carriage fees (Charter/Spectrum was about to follow suit; it will end carriage of it and Chiller on April 25 nationwide. The channel will migrate to a digital platform during the transition. [234][235]

WBIN-TV 50.# Independent Boston, Massachusetts/
Manchester, New Hampshire 		WBIN owner Carlisle One Media announced its intent to exit the television business on February 17, 2017, by divesting the channel 50 license as part of the spectrum incentive auction and announcing plans to sell translators to other broadcasters; in addition, the station immediately shut down its in-house news department, which was part of the Binnie-owned NH1 News division, which will retain a radio and digital presence. This marks the second time that the channel 50 license in the Boston market has been returned to the FCC (after WXPO-TV), with the sale leaving Manchester-based ABC affiliate WMUR-TV as the only full-power English language television station licensed to New Hampshire. [248]

WRNN-TV 48.# Independent Kingston, New York/
Hudson Valley 		WRNN-TV was sold in the broadcast spectrum auction for $212 million, in what is believed to be the highest payout for any station in the auction. The "Regional News Network" programming will continue through some other, unspecified method after the station goes off the air. [253]
WLVI 56.# The CW Boston, Massachusetts
(Cambridge) 		WLVI's license was sold in the broadcast spectrum auction. Its programming will move to a digital subchannel of WHDH-TV; under a special arrangement with the FCC, the virtual channel will carry over to the subchannel, which will continue to be numbered 56.1. [254]

Charleston, West Virginia
(Cambridge, Ohio) 		Ohio State University announced on March 3, 2017 that it had sold the license for WPBO, a satellite of Columbus-based WOSU-TV, for $8.8 million in the spectrum auction. WOSU general manager Tom Rieland told The Columbus Dispatch that Portsmouth has "incredible duplication of PBS signals" (WPBO's signal overlaps with WOUB-TV in Athens, WCET in Cincinnati, WKAS in Ashland, Kentucky, WVPB-TV in Huntington, and WOSU-TV), and that 95 percent of the households in WPBO's viewing area subscribe to cable or satellite.
