Is it because America is so conservative? Would a network do this in Australia?

I would say yes and it is owned by Disney after all.
It is bizarre they let it go for a week after TMZ leaked, including the two of them joking about it on air before deciding to pull the plug.

Didn’t something similar happen to Stan Grant and Tracy Holmes being removed from the Sydney Olympics coverage?

Good riddance. This Lara Logan moron has been a stain on journalism for years and her mouth is just plain filthy. You know it’s bad when Newsmax of all networks cuts her loose.
How she went from a high profile 60 Minutes reporter to a far right extremist is beyond comprehension.

After 6 years, Ryan Seacrest is leaving Live with Kelly & Ryan. Unlike previous host changes though, they have already announced Ripa’s husband Mark Consuelos will be replacing him.

There’s a little bit going on in American Sports TV land at the moment with the operators of two regional sport networks showing signs of collapse:
- AT&T SportsNet have underpaid their MLB team partners - WBD-owned RSNs fail to meet rights fee obligations – Sportico.com
(This one might be a sign that Warner Bros Discovery are not interested in playing in this space)
- Diamond Sports Group (operators of the Bally Sports channels) is inching towards bankruptcy, missing a debt payment in the recent week or so - What Would a Bally Sports Bankruptcy Mean for Sports Fans & Cord Cutting? We Explain... | Cord Cutters News
Both groups hold in-market rights for MLB, NBA and NHL teams - all three sports have indicated they’ll switch to in-market streaming if either goes under (using their out-market products)
The collapse of both could see a bit of a shift how sports rights work in the US.

How/who would produce the coverage if they went under? The league streamers can carry it but who would make what they broadcast?
No real indication yet

And WBD may be leaving the space:
Meanwhile, the newly-formed Scripps Sports may be benefiting from this exodus:
Maybe we can see Ion TV being a more worthy player with sports?
