Revision as of 22:19, 25 January 2017

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]
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.[3]
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 and a Sunday newsmagazine, and is figured to play a prominent role in the network's political and major news coverage.[4]
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.[5]
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.[6]
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 6:00 pm ET 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.[7]
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.[8]
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 C-SPAN monitors for news coverage).[9]
Former HBO employee Jennifer Choi is sentenced to 30 months in prison after admitting to bilking nearly $1 million from the network over a 6-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 3 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.[10]
15 An audience of 48.5 million watch Fox's live broadcast of the Green Bay Packers-Dallas Cowboys NFL playoff game, one marked by Packers kicker Mason Crosby's game-ending, game-winning 51-yard field goal. The TV audience 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).[11]
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.[12]
17 Almost a full year after the deal was first announced, and six days after the FCC gives its approval, Nexstar Broadcasting completes its $4.6 billion acquisition of Media General. The combined company, now known as Nexstar Media Group, includes a 171 full-power station portfolio, covering 100 markets and nearly 39% of the U.S.[13]
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.[14]
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 a 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).[15]
18 The 43rd People's Choice Awards air on CBS, with Joel McHale as host.[16]
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.[17][18]

Networks and services

Network launches

Network Type Launch date Notes
PBS Kids Over-the-air multicast January 16[112] PBS' kids programming franchise expands to a 24/7 network, available on some PBS member stations and through apps and streaming services. PBS had routinely in the past supplied content to its member stations for their own all-kids subchannels, but this channel is PBS' third venture into a nationwide kids network; the service operated a DirecTV-funded cable/satellite channel from 1999-2005, and formerly partnered with Comcast on Sprout from 2005-2013.[113][114][115]
Charge! Over-the-air multicast 1st quarter An action- and adventure-oriented network from MGM Television and Sinclair Broadcast Group that will rely primarily on MGM's film & TV library. It will be the second MGM/Sinclair broadcast network venture (the two companies also team on sci-fi network Comet).[116]
TBD Over-the-air multicast TBA Launching on subchannels of its own owned-or-operated stations, this Sinclair Broadcast Group network will feature content originating from various premium internet partners.[117]

Network closures

Network Type Closure date Notes
Northwest Cable News Regional cable & OTA January 6 Launched in December 1995 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. Approximately 25 employees were affected, more than half of whom moved to new positions other Tegna stations.[118]
Esquire Network Cable and Satellite Summer The Comcast-owned network, which was launched in 2005 as Style and rebranded in 2013 under a license deal with Hearst Corporation, the publishers of Esquire (after a last-minute discontinuation of expected network G4 due to lack of satellite distriubtion), in an effort to target male viewers, had trouble in attracting viewers after failing to renegotiate a new carriage deal with DirecTV, who decided to drop the channel over carriage fees and lack of viewers, and with Charter/Spectrum about to follow. The channel will migrate to a digital platform during the transition.[119]
