8 Jeopardy! airs the final episode (pushed back from Christmas Day) of Alex Trebek's hosting tenure, recorded 10 days before his November 8, 2020 death from stage IV pancreatic cancer. Starting with the January 11 episode and for the rest of the season, a series of guest hosts, the first being highest-winning Jeopardy! champion Ken Jennings, fill in at the host lectern Trebek had occupied for 36 years.

10 While sister network CBS airs an NFL playoff between the Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints, Nickelodeon airs a special children-oriented version of the game. The broadcast added classic Nickelodeon gags such as CGI-created slime cannons "spraying" the end zones after touchdowns; prerecorded explanations of penalties, offered by Young Sheldon star Iain Armitage; and announcer and former NFL star Nate Burleson analogizing successful plays with such childhood activities as staying in school. Although the game was aimed at younger, new-to-football viewers, it was reportedly enjoyed more so by Generation X and millennial parents who grew up watching the channel in its 1980s/1990s heyday. [2]
The 1st Critics' Choice Super Awards, an event honoring films in the science fiction, action, horror and superhero genres, airs on The CW. [3]

[5]
25 Two top executives of the CBS Television Stations group, division president Peter Dunn and Senior VP/News David Friend, are suspended after a Los Angeles Times investigation reveals, among other allegations, their discriminatory and disparaging behavior concerning Black and female news employees at the station level, in particular at KYW-TV/Philadelphia.

1 Gray Television announces its intent to acquire Quincy Media's broadcasting properties for $925 million. The deal—expected to be finalized in the second or third quarter of 2021—will have Gray acquire eleven television (and two radio) stations, expanding its portfolio to 198 stations in 102 markets with a collective reach of 25.4% of U.S. television households. Gray will divest six other Quincy stations—NBC affiliates KVOA/Tucson and KWWL/Cedar Rapids, and ABC affiliates (including corresponding satellites of) WKOW/Madison, WXOW/La Crosse, WAOW/Wausau and WSIL/Paducah—to alleviate market conflicts with existing Gray properties. Quincy's newspaper holdings will be sold to a separate buyer prior to the Gray transaction's closure. [9][10]

3 Country music channel CMT joins numerous country radio stations, including those owned by Cumulus Media and iHeartMedia among others, in pulling Morgan Wallen’s music from its video library after he was captured on video saying a racial slur that was posted by TMZ. In addition, he was dropped from his record labels, Big Loud and Republic Records along with being pulled from consideration for the Academy of Country Music Awards. [12]
5 Fox Business cancels Lou Dobbs Tonight, the network's highest-rated show. The cancellation came one day after its host, Lou Dobbs, was one of several Fox hosts – and Fox itself – to be sued by electronic voting system producer Smartmatic for defamation, regarding Dobbs and others' role in spreading conspiracy theories about the 2020 United States presidential election.[13][14][15][16]

13 All remaining analog television stations will be required, by FCC mandate, to shut off their analog signals and only broadcast in digital. This transition comes twelve years and one month after the digital transition for full-power television stations in 2009; only existing low-power broadcasters have been allowed to broadcast in analog since then. The few remaining analog low-power stations are mostly distant rural translators in large geographical television markets and a few urban-area stations operating primarily as radio stations on 87.7 FM; digital television is incompatible with either digital or analog radio, which will force the 87.7 stations to cease their radio operations. [29]
23–August 8 The 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan are scheduled to take place after their 1-year postponement was made on March 24, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan. NBC and its cable networks will carry coverage in the United States. Although the International Olympic Committee stated it would be held as scheduled, postponement of the Summer Olympics to the following year was made in March. The new opening/closing ceremony date range was announced on March 30, 2020. [30][31]

The 74th Tony Awards are to air on CBS. Originally scheduled for June 7, 2020 from Radio City Music Hall, the ceremony was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic on March 25. Since then, an early June nominations announcement was postponed due to the George Floyd riots, and Broadway theatre has shut down for the remainder of 2020, rendering any traditional ceremony with full cast performances and attendance likely impossible. On August 21, 2020, it was announced the ceremony will be held virtually sometime in the fall, with nominations revealed October 15 and ceremony details to be announced on a later date. The ceremony would later be postponed to early 2021 as a result of the continued uncertainty of the pandemic. [38][39]

Network Type Launch date Notes Source
Discovery+ OTT streaming January 4 A streaming service featuring original and archival content from the networks of Discovery, Inc. and the former networks of Scripps Networks Interactive. [133]
G4 Digital and linear Summer On July 24, 2020, the Twitter accounts of G4TV and G4's Attack of the Show! and X-Play, reactivated to post a teaser video of a G4 revival in some form, slated for 2021 (the form of distribution, whether as a return as a wireline network or a digital component of a service such as Peacock, was not divulged). The teasers were timed for Comic-Con@Home, the first virtual streaming edition of the annual fan convention, San Diego Comic-Con International. Consequently, G4's website also redirected to a nonstop game of Pong (which if won, redirects to a mailing list sign up for updates), once again reflecting back to the network's original launch in 2002 and their shutdown in 2014. [134][135]

Conversions and rebrandings

Urban Movie Channel Allblk OTT streaming January 6 AMC Networks rebranded Urban Movie Channel — launched in 2014 as the first streaming service dedicated to television programs and films aimed at Black audiences, and content made by Black filmmakers — as Allblk, citing the original name no longer fit the brand, its audience or culture. The service will also increase original programming, with five new series initially slated to debut in 2021. [136][137]
Light TV TheGrio.TV Over-the-air multicast/
OTT streaming		 January 15 Following its acquisition of the network's satellite slot from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Allen Media Group relaunched the former channel space of family-oriented digital multicast network Light TV as TheGrio.TV (branded after the Black cultural news and entertainment website acquired by parent company Entertainment Studios in 2016), adopting a focus around movies, television series, news and lifestyle content aimed at African American audiences. There has been some confusion however, as Light TV continues to run on some affiliates and online, while some former Light TV affiliates have stopped carrying the network in the run-up to TheGrio.tv. [138]
WGN America NewsNation Cable and satellite March 1 On January 25, 2021, Nexstar Media Group announced it would relaunch the entertainment-oriented WGN America (a name traced to its pre-2014 existence as a superstation feed of WGN-TV/Chicago) as the news-centric NewsNation, named after the prime time newscast that the channel debuted in September 2020, effective March 1. This will coincide with a gradual expansion of its news programming that will initially include the additions of an hour-long early-evening newscast, the hour-long Donlon Report (a prime-access newscast fronted by NewsNation anchor Joe Donlon) and a weeknight news/interview program hosted by Ashleigh Banfield, as well as a condensed version of the retitled NewsNationPrime (to be reduced from three hours to two). A reduced schedule of entertainment programs in its inventory will continue to be featured in daytime and overnight slots, which will be replaced with news content once syndication contracts expire. [139][140]
CBS All Access Paramount+ OTT streaming March 4 CBS All Access will adopt the Paramount+ name currently used in certain international markets. The rebranding will occur amid an ongoing expansion of the service — originally developed as a subscription platform for CBS featuring original programs, content from the CBS television network and CBS Television Distribution, and live streams of local CBS stations, CBS' ad-supported OTT services and events from CBS Sports — to include content from other television and film brands owned by ViacomCBS (including Paramount Pictures, MTV, BET, Comedy Central and Nickelodeon). [141][142]
Vix PrendeTV TBD On January 12, Univision Communications announced it would launch PrendeTV, a free, ad-supported Spanish-language streaming service aimed at U.S. Hispanics and Latinos in the first quarter of the year. The platform, which will be the first AVOD platform dedicated exclusively to Spanish content, will offer over 30 curated channels (similar to those featured on services like Pluto TV, Peacock and Xumo) and approximately 20,000 hours of Spanish-language movies and television series for video-on-demand viewing from Univision and various content partners to be announced. The service will be built off the infrastructure of and inherit content from Pan-American streaming service Vix, which Univision bought from a consortium of Batanga Media, Discovery Inc. and HarbourVest Partners on February 1. [143][144]
[145]
DIY Network Magnolia Network Cable and satellite Chip and Joanna Gaines of Fixer Upper fame announced in an interview on the November 9, 2018 edition of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon they were returning to the fold of the former Scripps Networks Interactive networks now owned by Discovery, Inc. to launch a new full-time network based on their Magnolia lifestyle brand after taking a year's hiatus to consider other offers outside of HGTV. The Gaines will have the minority stake in the network. Discovery announced on January 16, 2020 it would launch October 4 in the same year. Coronavirus-caused filming restrictions that would affect the network's debut lineup forced Discovery to delay the network's launch date indefinitely on April 21, 2020, with some programming to launch as a part of Discovery+ instead to build word-of-mouth for the linear network launch. [146][147]
[148]
Fox Sports Networks Bally Sports Sinclair Broadcast Group, as part of a partnership with Entertainment Studios, acquired the regional networks formerly owned by Fox Sports parent News Corporation in 2019 (Disney was required to divest the channels during its acquisition of 21st Century Fox). Sinclair reached a cross-partnership with gaming company Bally's Corporation in November 2020, which will result in the channels shedding the "Fox Sports" brand in favor of "Bally Sports." [149][150]
Paramount Network Paramount Movie Network Paramount Network will convert from a mix of movies, original unscripted programs, and off-network shows to an all-movie channel (consisting of both new original productions and content from the Paramount Pictures library). The renamed Paramount Movie Network will continue to carry at least one scripted series or miniseries each quarter (among them, existing drama series Yellowstone, which will modify its episode format to meet the network's new focus). Along with discontinuing unscripted programming, certain Paramount Network original programs (such as Bar Rescue and Lip Sync Battle) will move to other ViacomCBS-owned cable channels. [151]

DC Universe OTT streaming January 21 In September 2020, DC announced that the DC Universe streaming service would be folded into DC Universe Infinite as a solely digital comics subscription service on January 21, 2021. DC Universe subscriptions would automatically transfer over to DC Universe Infinite. Original programs Young Justice, Titans, Doom Patrol, and Harley Quinn are moving to HBO Max as Max Original series starting their new seasons, while Stargirl is moving to The CW with its second season. [152][153][45]
Ion Plus Over-the-air multicast February 28 Following the completion of its acquisition of Ion Media, on January 14, the E. W. Scripps Company announced that it will shutter three Ion networks — Ion Plus (a secondary schedule of programming from Ion's content distributors), Ion Shop (all-paid programming) and Qubo (children's programming) — and allocate their spectrum space on Ion Media's stations to offer networks from existing Scripps subsidiary Katz Broadcasting (consisting of Court TV, Court TV Mystery, Bounce TV, Laff and Grit). This will eventually consolidate Ion's operations into Katz, and replace expiring contracts with other broadcasters that carried the Katz networks outside of mainstream Scripps markets, while offloading those networks on mainstream Scripps stations with limited spectrum capacity during the ATSC 3.0 transition. (Ion's namesake flagship channel will continue as a Scripps-owned network.) [154]
Ion Shop
Qubo
WWE Network OTT streaming March 18
(United States)		 On January 25, WWE announced it would discontinue the standalone WWE Network service in the United States and merge it into the offerings of Peacock. All paying Peacock subscribers will have access to the WWE Video Library and no-cost access to WWE pay-per-view events in the same manner as current WWE Network subscribers. WWE Network will remain unchanged outside of the United States. [155][156]
CNN Airport Cable and satellite March 31 On January 12, CNN announced that it would shut down the CNN Airport network, which was available in numerous airports across the United States. The network, which carried a mixture of family-friendly news and entertainment programs from select WarnerMedia networks (as well as some high-profile sporting events), had been seeing declining viewership since the financial crisis of 2007–08 as a result of the increased proliferation of Wi-Fi-enabled devices which themselves allow access to the mainline CNN network; the decline was accelerated in 2020 when global commercial air travel declined greatly as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. [157]
NBCSN Q4 On January 22, NBC Sports Group announced it was shutting down NBCSN, which launched in 1995 as the Outdoor Life Network and later rebranded as Versus before becoming the NBC Sports Network in 2012 and adopting its current name in 2013. Its programming, which includes the Premier League and NASCAR races, will move to NBC and USA Network along with some programming moving to the Peacock streaming service; its National Hockey League contract (a cornerstone of the network's programming) expires at the end of the abbreviated 2021 season.

(Rio Grande Valley, Texas)		 December 31 In late 2019, when owner Entravision Communications released its third-quarter earnings, it announced that it would not pay the 20-year lump sum renewal for the station's license. As a result, the station is expected to cease operations at the end of its concession in December 2021 after broadcasting as an English language station for most of its 42-year history. The closure of XHRIO-TDT leaves Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon to depend on American television stations for English-language content. [160]
