The article says Nickelodeon’s Super Bowl telecast will be shown in Australia on a delayed basis (ESPN and Seven have the live broadcast rights here). How much delay are we talking about? ---

It’s a fair question, but makes sense. There’d be no point in showing a kids-focused live in Australia when it’s 10.30am on a school day, or in the UK where it’s overnight… just whether they do it on Monday night or save it to a weekend or something. I also wouldn’t be surprised if the “Nick is now on 10” thing means it gets pushed out to Paramount+ rather than anything 10-based. ---

I just wondered whether Seven (and ESPN to some extent) would baulk on it being on TV even in the future. On the other hand, usually broadcasters for NFL games only get 72 hours until it officially goes back into the “archives” (judging how long you get replays on Kayo et al) and then the NFL can probably do whatever they want with it, including sub-letting the Nick broadcast. The same issues would apply in the UK of course, where ITV own the live rights to the game and Paramount own Channel 5 and its offshoots. ---

Over on CBS, the outgoing stations has been adopting new brands. KMAX in Sacramento acts more as a sister station to WCCO, including an adaptation to the new boxed style seen in CBS O&Os: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/I_hPPhPR5Dc/maxresdefault.jpg "Body recovered from the American River near Carmichael") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_hPPhPR5Dc) Meanwhile, WUPA in Atlanta is advertised as Atlanta69 in recent promos. This is a market where CBS currently owns a CW station, but not a CBS station (that goes to WANF, owned by Gray). [https://twitter.com/ATLCW/status/1689766130842214400](https://twitter.com/ATLCW/status/1689766130842214400) TVNewsTalk users also spotted some domains in similar patterns are registered by CBS. And bigger changes are coming in Pittsburgh and San Francisco, as CBS has filed a callsign change to the FCC. WPCW Pittsburgh will be renamed WPKD, while KBCW is to be called KPYX. It’s also speculated that CBS is dropping the News Now block. [NewscastStudio](https://www.newscaststudio.com/2023/07/19/wpcw-kbcw-changing-call-letters/) has the scoop. KBCW/KPYX is now advertised on screen as the inventively named KPIX+ (the K is silent), with new newscasts coming on 8 and 9 pm (the same timeslot as KRON’s now): [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/2lEjAP0-46w/maxresdefault.jpg "THE MINUTE: San Jose city workers go on strike, marching for immigration reform, and KPIX+ Cable 12") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lEjAP0-46w&t=48) [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/f7ccw70r70I/maxresdefault.jpg "KPYX | Promo of "KBCW is now KPIX+ Plus 44 Cable 12" - September 1, 2023") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7ccw70r70I) ---

Until the FCC decide to change their mind on this, the Nexstar/Mission setup is practically the same as the Sinclair/Cunningham setup that’s been permitted for two decades and counting. It’ll get through eventually, and I suspect eventually the 39% (after UHF discount) reach rule will go before any of these semi-shells fall foul of anything much. ---
