The following is a list of events affecting American television in 2012. Events listed include television show debuts, finales, cancellations, and channel launches, closures and rebrandings, as well as information about controversies and carriage disputes.

Notable events

January

Date Event
1 Sports networks MSG and MSG Plus go dark on Time Warner Cable systems in the New York City area and upstate New York after Time Warner and the networks' parent, MSG Media, fail to reach a new fee-for-carriage agreement.[1]
Three stations and their related satellites in the Casper and Cheyenne, Wyoming markets vanish from the Dish Network lineup due to a retransmission dispute. The stations are Casper's KTWO-TV (ABC), KGWC (CBS), and KFNB (Fox) and Cheyenne's KLWY (Fox/ABC).[2]
2 Versus rebrands as NBC Sports Network, reflecting the sports channel's common ownership and synergies with NBC Sports.[3]
4 The Walt Disney Company and Comcast announce a 10-year distribution agreement to deliver content from Disney-owned networks and ABC O&O stations to Comcast's multiple Xfinity platforms, including TV, online, video on demand, smartphones, and tablet computers.[4]
5 Neal Tiles steps down from his position as president and CEO of G4 and is replaced by Adam Stotsky.[5][6]
Cowles Media announces a reorganization in the news department of its stations in the Santa Maria/Santa Barbara market, KCOY-TV (CBS) and KKFX-CA (Fox), that includes several layoffs of on- and off-screen personnel, the elimination of its sports department, and the move of the evening anchor desk out of market to Monterey Bay area sister station KION-TV.[7]
9 CBS This Morning, the network's attempt at a unique news-and-analysis-intensive morning show, makes its debut, featuring a host team of Erica Hill, Gayle King, and Charlie Rose.[8]
11 LIN TV announces it will sell (pending FCC approval) its Toledo Fox affiliate WUPW to American Spirit Media, who is expected to cede operations of the station to Raycom's Toledo station, WTOL-TV, via a shared services agreement (mirroring similar arrangements in 4 other markets where Raycom operates American Spirit stations).[9]
13 A week-long commemoration of Today's 60th anniversary culminates in a gathering of past and current personalities from the NBC morning program.[10]
14 Sunbeam Television's stations in Miami (WSVN) and Boston (WHDH-TV and WLVI) go dark on DirecTV after talks to increase the retransmission fees by a reported 300% failed.[11] The two sides would reach an agreement on January 26 to restore the signals.[12]
16 Lionsgate Entertainment and One Equity Partners announce that they will explore a sale of their TV Guide Network, whose conversion over the years from a listings guide to an entertainment channel has made it profitable enough for a sale by the two companies.[13]
17 Food Network personality Paula Deen, known for her high-calorie recipies, reveals on Today that she has Diabetes mellitus type 2, and was diagnosed with the condition in 2008 (choosing not to reveal her condition until now in part to avert health rumors).[14]
23 NBC Sports reaches a 4-year deal for exclusive rights (on NBC and NBC Sports Network) to the Breeders' Cup thoroughbred horse racing championships beginning with the November 3 event; the deal includes the first prime time staging of event's premiere race, the Breeders' Cup Classic.[15] The deal reunites the Breeders' Cup with NBC, which broadcast the first 21 editions of the event (with ESPN holding rights from 2006 to 2011).
25 Bill Myers steps down from his position as president and CEO of Starz Entertainment after 10 years with the company.[16]
30 Following the lead of Telemundo (who has done it in one form or another since 2003), Univision becomes the second Spanish-language network to provide English subtitles (appearing as closed captions on CC3) on its weekday primetime telenovelas, an effort to attract viewers who do not speak or are not fluent in the Spanish language.[17]
30-31 A shakeup in the on-air makeup of Fox's The X Factor takes place: The network confirms on the 30th that host Steve Jones and judge Nicole Scherzinger will not return for the show's 2nd season in the fall; on the 31st, judge Paula Abdul confirms she will not return as well.[18]

February

Date Event
2 The FCC approves Time Warner Cable's $3 million purchase of Insight Cable[19]
3 The FCC rules that television stations have the right to refuse to air ads under “reasonable access” provisions of the law pertaining to political candidates. The ruling comes about after WMAQ-TV/Chicago rejected an anti-abortion ad that activist and presidential candidate Randall Terry wanted the NBC O&O to run during Super Bowl XLVI.[20]
NFL Network announces it will carry five additional games in its Thursday Night Football package starting in the 2012 NFL season. [21]
5 NBC's broadcast of Super Bowl XLVI, in which the New York Giants defeat the New England Patriots, attracts 111.3 million viewers; it is the 3rd straight year that the NFL's championship event sets the all-time record for total viewership.[22]
During a Super Bowl halftime show headlined by Madonna, guest singer M.I.A. appears to deliver a curse word and obscene gesture that escapes the reach of NBC's censors. The network and the NFL (the event's producer) both issue apologies afterwards for the incident.[23]
6 Video distributor Netflix makes its original programming debut with the release of the comedy-drama series Lilyhammer.[24]
7 With the episode "Life Before His Eyes," CBS' NCIS crosses the 200 episode milestone.[25]
8 CNN suspends host Roland Martin after he sent a series of homophobic tweets during the Super Bowl. [26]

Scheduled future events

The following is a list of scheduled events to take place in 2012. Be aware that the events detailed may be changed or rescheduled depending on a variety of factors.

February

Date Event
19 With the episode "At Long Last Leave," Fox's The Simpsons will reach the 500 episode plateau.[27]

March

Date Event
23 Disney Junior, Disney Channel's daytime children's programming block, will become a standalone 24-hour cable channel. The channel will replace SOAPNet, which may still be available (in a limited, automated form) for some cable and satellite providers who have not yet finalized deals for Disney Junior.[28]

Summer

Date Event
July 27 – Aug. 12 The 2012 Summer Olympics will be broadcast on NBC and other NBCUniversal-owned channels.[29]
TBD HDNet will rebrand as AXS TV and refocus its emphasis towards lifestyle and live event programming. The change is a result of a partnership of Ryan Seacrest, Anschutz Entertainment Group, and Creative Artists Agency purchasing a share of the network, a deal announced on January 18.[30]

Fall

Date Event
TBD The Spanish language over-the-air network MundoFox, a partnership between Fox International Channels and Colombia's RCN TV, will make its debut.[31]

Winter

Date Event
December 12 Entertainer and businessman Sean Combs will launch Revolt, a music/lifestyle/entertainment cable channel aimed at an African-American audience.[32]

Programs debuting in 2012

Due to the economic slowdown, there will be notably fewer television pilots in 2012 than in the years immediately prior to that, which reduces the number of roles available for actors.[33]

The fall of 2012 is also expected to mirror 1993 in the volume of new daytime talk shows; the new talk roster will include shows hosted by first-timers Katie Couric, Steve Harvey, Jeff Probst, and Bethenny Frankel (Frankel's show will have a Summer trial run on the Fox Television Stations after failing in 2011 to gain a wider station clearance for the fall).[34][35] New talk shows will also feature Trisha Goddard (who hosted a talk show in her native United Kingdom) and Ricki Lake (whose new show will take a more mature tone compared to her 1993–2004 series).[36]
