2022 Television Predictions

crainbebo said:
Local news departments will shrivel in small markets. Some states may start broadcasting statewide newscasts instead of localized news for each market. (e.g., a Montana newscast operated out of KTVQ for the entire MTN/CBS network). After all, the news cume continues to age and continues to drop. With the inflated and unstable economy, some owners may have to consolidate.

In some states you mentioned like Montana they might broadcast mainly at state capitals cities and the way 2022 is going is that the local news crews will have to spend more money on armed security services in response to the 2022 Governors and congressional elections.
 
I`m talking about replacing the repeats on ESPNNEWS like PTI in the Evening with what's been heard on ESPN Radio because no TV Feed because other shows get simulcast on ESPN2 or ESPNNEWS even if it's World Series Game because might not want to hear Joe Buck or don't get ESPN International.

WWE will anger both TV partners off with the continued declining ratings, that they will face the possibility of cancelation come the end of their TV contract if no "Out clause" was on the current TV deals.

I'll go farther and say that WWE gets suddenly shut down after an Ronan Farrow expose where a former WWE Diva or other female wrestler comes forward and says that she was raped by either Vince McMahon or another high-level WWE official (and told by top brass to shut up about it or her life would be threatened).

A sexual harassment case will take one talk or game show host off television airwaves for good.

As I said earlier, I will say Steve Harvey is most likely to fall into a sex harassment scandal that will bring the cancellation of Family Feud and his new courtroom show--but this time caused by him saying something very stupid yet again (like he did to one of the contestants at last year's Miss Universe pageant).

Jerry Springer is also very likely candidate to shutter due to a sexual harrasment case. This time due to an expose that either Springer or a show security guard/bouncer raped several guests--and the victims told to shut up about about at risk of their lives.
 
Do predictions of rape allegations against Jerry Springer, Vince McMahon or any other TV notable fall into the category of libel? Or does their celebrity make them fair targets for such speculation, so long as the poster doesn't actually say they committed the act?

When did this happen? This isn't the one from last month, is it?

At the very least it makes the “predictions” ludicrous.

there was the Speaking Out movement in Wrestling in 2020 in which allegations of many wrestlers being sexual predators dominated wrestling news, but it didn't get enough attention for Ronan to do a report about it cause it's Pro Wrestling, everyone knew it was a shady fake sport. and there was rape allegations towards Vince himself that got brief attention in 2020 but the incident alleged to occurred in a Boca Raton, FL tanning salon in 2006

and there's the allegations that WWE covered up a female wrestler getting sexually assaulted and raped by a military doctor while she was suffering a medical issue while WWE was on a tour of events to entertain the troops in Kuwait in 2007.

both never gain traction with mainstream news sources and both are equally bad and could have been a bad thing for the business.

The story of the rape allegations on Vince:
Details of sexual assault allegations emerge against WWE CEO Vince McMahon

The story of the coverup of the female star who got raped/sexually assaulted by a military doctor (which may had contributed to why she committed suicide years later):
Did Vince McMahon cover up a sexual assault on Ashley Massaro?

Anything user generated is going to have plenty of content, much of it garbage, about every topic conceivable. And in this case, the entire topic is a hot steaming pile of garbage, so of course there will be scams and shams.
 
One longshot which we could find out about as early as next weekend:

At least one NFL playoff game is still tied at the end of overtime. This leads to calls during the offseason for the NFL to adopt at least a modified version of college football's OT rules.

I don't even know the current NFL rule for such a situation. Do they go to sudden death where any score instantly wins? An extra-point kicking contest? A coin flip?

So the NFL could have three- and four-overtime playoff games, as the NHL does? I can only imagine what play in the fourth overtime of an NFL game would look like, or whether there'd be enough players physically capable of being out there after nearly two hours of football. A very good thing that even a second overtime is so unlikely to ever happen (because it's so easy to win within the first 15 minutes) that we'll never find out.
