    What's gonna happen to NBC in Boston?

    Don't know if you guys have been following what's happening in Boston, but Comcast seems to be determined to switch it's NBC programming from WHDH (which has been with NBC since 1995) to WNEU, an NBCUniversal O&O that currently carries Telemundo. The problem is that WNEU's signal is a lot weaker...

    Canada is beating us when it comes to 4K broadcasts.

    Rogers cable in Canada is gonna be broadcasting the first NHL game in 4K tomorrow. Kind of sad nobody here in the states is broadcasting any games in 4K. You'd think the Super Bowl would be the first event in 4K, but I haven't heard anything about that. What do you guys think...

    RCA's new converter box is DVR capable

    I've saw this at Walmart recently. RCA really updated their converter box to the point where you can call it a new OTA DVR. It even has an HDMI port in the back so you can watch and record in HD. It sort of works like the Mediasonic Homeworx box that some have mentioned on here before in that it...

    Beijing selected to host the 2022 Winter Olympics

    It wasn't really much a choice. It was either Beijing, China or Almaty, Kazakhstan. Beijing won with a vote of 44 to 40. Considering Beijing successfully the 2008 Olympics, I guess this would considered the safer choice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Winter_Olympics

    AT&T/DIRECTV renews their agreement with Starz

    Just got an email from Seeking alpha about this. I guess there was a chance that Starz could have been dropped. But now with the merger, Starz came to an agreement that will cover Directv and U-verse subs.

    Did you get the Windows 10 upgrade notice?

    This morning on my computers, I got Windows 10 icon showing on the bottom right-corner. I clicked on it and showed me how to reserve my free upgrade and when Windows 10 comes out, the system would let me know when to download it. In other words, Microsoft REALLY wants people to upgrade to...

    Charter to Purchase Bright House for $10.4 Billion

    But the deal comes with a contingency: The Comcast-TWC merger would have to be approved first. That way Charter can acquire some markets and subs from the new bigger Comcast. If the Comcast-TWC merger fails, then Charter will not acquire Bright House...

    CBC secures Canadian Broadcast Rights for the 2018 and 2020 Olympics

    Note they already have the rights for the 2016 games as well. I gotta say with all the bad news we've been hearing from them (between the budget problems and now a $55 million lawsuit for wrongfully firing one of its radio stars), it's nice to hear some good news for a change...

    Well, the first pre-season games start tomorrow. I'm definitely interested in seeing how Matt Stafford and the Lions have supposedly improved with their new coach. Of course we know the pre-season games don't mean anything except for the coaches who have to decide who to keep on the roster...

    Gray to buy ABC affiliates in Flint, MI and Toledo, OH

    Don't know why these two stations can't seem to get a stable owner, but it looks like WJRT and WTVG are getting sold again, this time to Gray Broadcasting for $128 Million. A good deal for SJL considering they bought those stations for a mere $30 million in 2010. Both stations are leaders in...

    Originally, they had the rights through 2020. That agreement cost $4.4 billion when it was signed just 3 years ago in 2011. The price tag for this 12-year extension: $7.75 Billion.:eek: http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/2014/05/07/nbc-olympics-broadcast-rights-2032/8805989/
