As discussions continue about a potential deal for control of the CW , network co-owner ViacomCBS has renewed CBS affiliate deals in 39 markets with top station group Nexstar. The markets reach a combined 14% of the U.S. viewing audience in 17.4 million households. Following three affiliate agreements that were renewed early last year, this new round wraps up all of ViacomCBS and Nexstar’s affiliation renewals. The renewals, some of which came before their expiration dates, mean Nexstar CBS affiliates will continue to be available via streaming service Paramount+ as well as other internet pay-TV packages.

EXCLUSIVE : Paramount Network is safe, for now. ViacomCBS has reversed plans to rebrand the cable network, home to Kevin Costner-fronted hit series Yellowstone , as Paramount Movie Network . Deadline understands that the company has put the plans, which first emerged in September 2020, on hold, in part due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which has had a major impact on production. The original strategy was to turn Paramount Network into the Paramount Movie Network, which would air 52 original movies a year with one miniseries or scripted series airing per quarter. Development of these movie projects was originally being overseen by Meghan Hooper White, who joined the company from A+E Networks as EVP and Head of Original Movies and Limited Series in May 2020 but left little over a year later.

The CBS upfront, now under the umbrella of ViacomCBS , will return to its longtime home at New York’s Carnegie Hall on May 18. The news follows commitments from rivals Fox and NBCUniversal in recent days, both of which have slated multiple in-person upfront events. Disney has indicated it is taking a fresh look at the approach to its upfront, which has long been held at Lincoln Center. The last year for the annual upfront extravaganza, which typically stretches for several weeks in the spring when cable and streaming are combined with broadcast TV, was 2019. Covid neutralized the live upfronts in 2020 and last year, forcing everything online. As media companies look to shore up advertising in a landscape upended by streaming, the idea of pressing the flesh in person has proven appealing. Jo Ann Ross, president and chief advertising revenue officer of domestic ad sales for ViacomCBS, has been a longtime fixture at the upfront event. One year, she wore a dress … [Read more...] about ViacomCBS Confirms Return To Carnegie Hall With In-Person Upfront In May

Jorja Fox ’s Sara Sidle will not be back for the second season of CSI: Vegas . Fox revealed on Twitter that she has decided not to return to the sequel of the classic procedural.
