List of American television programs currently in production |
Certain American television events in 2025 have been scheduled. Events listed include television show debuts, finales, and cancellations; channel launches, closures, and re-brandings; stations changing or adding their network affiliations; information on controversies, business transactions, and carriage disputes; and deaths of those who made various contributions to the medium.
Date | Event | Ref. |
---|---|---|
1 | MSG Network and its sister networks are removed from Optimum cable systems due to an unresolved carriage dispute between the networks and Optimum owner Altice USA. It is the first carriage dispute between the two parties since Altice purchased Optimum from MSG's parent company Cablevision in 2016. | [1] |
Family Guy reruns air on Adult Swim for the first time since 2021 after striking a non-exclusive deal for the rights to older episodes. Adult Swim parent Warner Bros. Discovery previously lost those rights to The Walt Disney Company (which acquired the series' production company, 20th Television, as part of its 2019 purchase of most 21st Century Fox assets) after its license expired, with FXX and Freeform holding exclusive cable rights. The Cartoon Network programming block first aired reruns of the Fox animated series in 2003 (consisting initially of the original 1999–2002 run), and played a role in its revival, which has aired since 2005. (Adult Swim previously aired new episodes of Family Guy on a next-day basis in a TV-MA recut including crude material cut or censored from the Fox airings to comply with broadcast standards.) Reruns returned to Adult Swim with a three-day marathon, before airing in a regular weekday primetime slot on January 4. | [2] | |
5 | The 82nd Golden Globe Awards airs on CBS with streaming on Paramount+. Nikki Glaser hosts the ceremony. | [3][4] |
6 | FuboTV agrees to sell a 70% majority stake in its vMVPD business to The Walt Disney Company and merge with Disney's Hulu + Live TV business. The merged company will be led by Fubo's executive team and remain a public company, but with Disney holding majority control of its board. Both the Fubo and Hulu + Live TV services will continue to operate under their respective brands, with Fubo being responsible for carriage negotiations. The deal excludes the Hulu video on-demand service, which will continue to be exclusively held by Disney. As part of the agreement, Fubo settles its antitrust lawsuit with Venu Sports, the proposed sports-focused streaming service joint venture between Disney, Fox Corporation, and Warner Bros. Discovery, with the consortium planning to make a one-time payment of $220 million. (The Venu consortium later announced on January 10 that the service would not launch; DirecTV and Dish Network asked the New York district court to reconsider the case's dismissal on grounds that the antitrust issues remained unanswered and they could still be harmed by Venu's competition.) Fubo also reaches a carriage agreement for Disney's suite of channels. The merger is expected to be completed between 12 to 18 months, pending regulatory approval. | [5][6] [7][8] |
8 | In the wake of the Southern California wildfires that began on January 7, CBS pulls a scheduled repeat of Fire Country for January 10 and replaces it with a repeat of NCIS: Sydney, while NBC still airs Chicago Fire as planned for January 8 alongside Chicago P.D. and Chicago Med. | [9] |
In Part 1 of a two-part crossover event, characters from FXX's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia volunteer at the titular school of ABC's Abbott Elementary. The second part will air premiere later in the year as part of Sunny's 17th season. | [10] | |
9 | Major American networks cover the state funeral of Jimmy Carter. | [11] |
10 | Nexstar Media Group removes its stations and networks, NewsNation and multiple affiliates of The CW, from Optimum systems due to a carriage dispute. | [12] |
13 | MSNBC announces it will temporarily expand The Rachel Maddow Show (which has regularly aired in the 9 p.m. ET slot on Monday nights only since 2022) to a five-night-a-week schedule through April 27 to cover the first 100 days of the Donald Trump's second presidency, while Alex Wagner, who regularly hosts Alex Wagner Tonight in the slot Tuesday-Friday, will be placed on special assignments to report on the repercussions of Trump's policy decisions across the country and internationally. Both Maddow's and Wagner's primetime shows will return to their regular schedules starting on April 30. | [13] |
16 | In one of her last acts as FCC chair before the second Trump administration, Jessica Rosenworcel orders the rejection of three complaints and one petition against local TV stations. The affected complaints, filed by a conservative-leaning group, targeted network-owned stations in Philadelphia and New York City over perceived coverage and equal-time presentations of Kamala Harris' 2024 presidential campaign; the petition, from a liberal-friendly group, sought to revoke the license of WTXF/Philadelphia in the wake of station parent Fox Corporation's defamation lawsuit regarding statements made on Fox News about 2020 presidential election. (Rosenworcel's successor as FCC chair, Brendan Carr, would reinstate the complaints, though not the challenge against WTXF, on January 22.) | [14][15] |
LIV Golf announces a new deal with Fox Sports to air tournament coverage on Fox, FS1, FS2, and Fox Business; the broadcasts, which the league will continue to produce in-house, had aired on The CW since 2023. | [16] | |
18 | Allen Media Group announces plans to phase in centralized weather forecasting, originating from the company's Atlanta-based The Weather Channel, for its local station group. AMG trumpets the move (which would ostensibly eliminate all local meteorologist positions, though some affected would be offered positions at TWC) as a way to efficiently improve the stations' weather coverage capabilities. The plan, however, comes amidst cost-cutting measures at AMG (which has included eliminations in employees and consolidations and cuts to local newscasts), and also reserves criticism over the perceived loss of community engagement that local weather reports provide. Although development of the Atlanta-based regional production hub would continue, AMG notified at least six of the group’s stations on January 23 that their locally based meteorologists would be retained. | [17][18] [19][20] |
20 | Major American networks cover the second inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States. The inauguration was watched by 26.05 million viewers across all major broadcast and cable news networks, down from the two previous inauguration ceremonies: Joe Biden's 2021 ceremony received 39.87 million viewers and Trump's first inauguration in 2017 was viewed by 38.3 million. Fox News (which had the highest inauguration ratings among all networks, averaging 10.3 million viewers) was the only major news network to see an increase in viewership over Biden's 2021 inauguration. | [21][22] |
21 | WDJT/Milwaukee fires weekend meteorologist Sam Kuffel, after she criticized Elon Musk for a controversial arm gesture made during his speech at Donald Trump's inauguration the day prior on her personal and private Instagram account with profanity denouncing the gesture. Kuffel's dismissal by the Weigel Broadcasting-owned CBS affiliate came after her posts were pointed out to and publicized by local conservative talk show host Dan O'Donnell of WISN radio to pressure Weigel to terminate Kuffel for offering a political opinion as a station employee. | [23] |
28 | Rather than reportedly take a late-night slot as part of a reshuffling of CNN's daytime lineup, Jim Acosta announces he will instead be departing the network, where he has spent 18 years as a reporter (in particular chief White House correspondent) and as one of the hosts of CNN Newsroom. | [24] |

2 | The 67th Annual Grammy Awards airs on CBS with streaming on Paramount+ from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. | [25] |
4 | Ending a six-year-long blackout, Comcast and sports channel Altitude announce a carriage agreement that adds the Denver-based Altitude, TV home of the NHL's Colorado Avalanche and NBA's Denver Nuggets, to a higher-priced "sports and entertainment" tier of Comcast's Xfinity cable systems in the Rocky Mountain region. | [26] |
7 | Netflix announces its cancellation of a planned six-part documentary about the life and career of Prince, and will instead work with Prince's estate on a new documentary. The terminated project, which was produced by Ezra Edelman, had been in limbo due to a lack of blessing from the estate for use of Prince's material, reportedly over the film's depiction of his personal life that included, according to a September 2024 New York Times report, accusations that he committed physical and emotional abuse. | [27][28] |
The 30th Critics' Choice Awards airs on E! from the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California. Chelsea Handler hosts the ceremony, which was originally scheduled for January 12 but was postponed twice due to the wildfires in Southern California. | [29][30] [31][32] | |
9 | In a telecast that includes tributes from some of his current and former broadcast partners, Hubie Brown calls his final NBA game for ABC (a 135-127 win by the Milwaukee Bucks over the Philadelphia 76ers at Fiserv Forum), retiring after over a half-century as a pro basketball coach and TV analyst (he worked with ESPN/ABC, TNT, CBS, and USA Network in the latter role). | [33][34] |
Super Bowl LIX, from New Orleans' Caesars Superdome, airs on Fox, Fox Deportes (Spanish language coverage), and Fox Corporation's free-streaming service Tubi. Despite its lopsided outcome (a 40-22 win by the Philadelphia Eagles over the Kansas City Chiefs), the game attracts an estimated 126 million viewers across Fox's platforms, a new viewership record that surpasses the 123.4 million viewers who watched Super Bowl LVIII one year earlier. | [35][36] |

Smile | Over-the-air multicast | January 12 | The free-to-air, faith-based children's network owned by the Trinity Broadcasting Network wound down operations on January 12. The network, which had been exclusively broadcasting over-the-air since satellite distributor Olympusat ceased distribution of Smile to pay television providers in February 2021, was replaced by Canella Media-owned infomercial network OnTV4U on TBN-owned stations, and a live feed of Yippee TV’s Christian-based children’s channel on the TBN+ streaming service. | [305][306] [307] |
Universal Kids | Cable/satellite | March 6 | NBCUniversal confirmed the oncoming shutdown of Universal Kids on this date on January 13, 2025, after several pay-TV providers confirmed the service would end distribution on that date several days before in notices to customers. The network had already become a low priority with the sharp declines in ratings for children's television networks in the age of streaming, and comes months after Comcast announced its intent to spin off NBCUniversal's cable properties into a separately traded company and had made no mention of Universal Kids's fate before then. | [308][309] |

January 1 | Los Angeles, California | KWHY-TV → KSCN-TV | 22.1 | Independent Spanish language programming | Scientology Network | The station's then-owner, Meruelo Media, which has been struggling and selling off its assets in the last year, announced the sale of KWHY-TV to Sunset Boulevard Broadcasting, the broadcast arm of the Church of Scientology, on July 29, 2024, for $30 million. On December 16, 2024, Sunset Boulevard Broadcasting filed to change the station's call letters to KSCN-TV, and on January 1, 2025, KWHY-TV's 35-year service as a mainly Spanish-language station ended as the station began simulcasting the Scientology Network full-time, with the KWHY-TV callsign, which had been in use for 59 years, also being charged to KSCN-TV. All other subchannels were discontinued, though Merulo continues to maintain a channel sharing agreement for Garden Grove-licensed KBEH, which it retained. The sale was completed on January 6, 2025, with KBEH itself subsuming the former KWHY call letters (without a "-TV" suffix) as of February 2. | [310][311] [312][313] |
February 14 | Anchorage, Alaska | KTVA | 11.1 | Rewind TV | PBS (as satellite of KAKM) | In October 2024, GCI filed to sell the station to Alaska Public Media, operator of Anchorage PBS station KAKM. Alaska Public Media plans to run KTVA as a straight repeater of KAKM. Management cited GCI's plans to shut down its cable television systems in 2025, potentially increasing dependence on broadcast TV in the area. KTVA's centrally located tower provides better coverage of Anchorage than the more distant and partially terrain shielded Knik TV Mast; Alaska Public Media estimated 86,000 households in Anchorage would see an improved signal. | [314][315][316] |

In its announcement, Nexstar indicated it would move The CW affiliation back to WBNX, which carried the network from 2006 to 2018 (Nexstar bought control of The CW in 2022). WUAB will replace The CW with MyNetworkTV (which it originally carried from 2006 to 2018 and has remained as a late night offering since then on sister station WOIO's MeTV subchannel) as well as an expanded sports programming slate. | [317][318] |
