The following is a list of events affecting American television in 2011. Events listed include television show debuts, finales, cancellations, and channel launches, closures and rebrandings, as well as information about controversies and carriage disputes.

Events

January

Date Event
1 Discovery Health Channel leaves the air and becomes OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network, with former DHC programming split between OWN and FitTV.[1]
Antenna TV debuts. The Tribune Broadcasting-owned network, dedicated to classic TV programs and films, launches mainly on stations owned-or-operated by Tribune and Local TV LLC.[2]
PBS member station KCET/Los Angeles becomes an independent public/educational station. KOCE-TV/Huntington Beach, a secondary PBS affiliate serving nearby Orange County, replaces KCET as the LA market's primary PBS member station, rebranding as PBS SoCal.[3]
Dish Network and Frontier Radio Management fail to reach a new carriage agreement, leaving Macon customers without both ABC and Fox, where both networks come from WGXA.[4]
DirecTV removes the stations of Northwest Broadcasting due to a carriage dispute. [5] The satellite provider's carriage deal with Golf Channel runs out on the same day, but a temporary agreement allows the channel to remain on while negotiations continue.[5] The sides reach a temporary deal on February 1, in time for Super Bowl XLV.[6]
Comedy Central retires the skyscraper-and-globe-themed logo, which it used in one form or another since its 1991 debut, and adopts a new logo mark featuring two "C"'s, with one of them and the word "Central" turned upside-down.[7]
3 The Second Circuit Court of Appeals throws out a fine the FCC levied against ABC for a 2003 episode of NYPD Blue in which Charlotte Ross' character was viewed with a bare back.[8]
ESPN fires play-by-play announcer Ron Franklin for making derogatory remarks to colleague Jeannine Edwards during prep work for a December 31, 2010 telecast of the Chick-fil-A Bowl. Prior to the firing, Franklin was pulled from ESPN Radio's January 1 coverage of the Fiesta Bowl over the incident.[9]
7 History announces that its first scripted miniseries, The Kennedys, will not air on the network, with a spokesperson stating, "This dramatic interpretation is not a fit for the History brand."[10] The content of the 8-part multi-million dollar project (produced in Canada in partnership with History's Canadian counterpart, History Television) had been the source of controversy; various sources claimed inaccuracies in the script,[11][12][13] while the miniseries' director and production company countered that History officials gave approval on the final draft script and final cuts before dropping their broadcast plans.[14][15] The producers would then begin shopping the production around to other networks, and on February 1 reached a deal with ReelzChannel, which would air the miniseries in April (this after Showtime, Starz, FX, and The 101 Network took a pass).[16][17]
Both Joan and Melissa Rivers announce that they will no longer do red carpet specials.[18]
15 After a lengthy dispute and two deadline extensions, Sinclair Broadcast Group and Time Warner Cable reach an agreement in principle to keep 28 Sinclair-owned-or-operated stations in 17 markets on Time Warner Cable systems.[19] A more formal agreement would be announced on February 2, which includes plans for TWC to produce newscasts for Sinclair's ABC affiliate in the Greensboro market, WXLV-TV, beginning in 2012.[20]
17 Citing lack of air time, Marissa Jaret Winokur announces she will leave CBS' daytime series The Talk.[21]
Piers Morgan Tonight debuts on CNN, with Oprah Winfrey as Morgan's first guest.[22]
18 Regis Philbin announces he will retire from co-hosting Live! with Regis and Kelly in the summer.[23]
Randy Falco is named Executive Vice President and COO of Univision.[24]
Turner Broadcasting System announces it will turn over day-to-day control of its Atlanta station WPCH-TV to Meredith Corporation, who will operate the station through its WGCL-TV. Additionally, production for Atlanta Braves broadcasts on WPCH (45 per year) will be handled by cable rights-holders Fox Sports South and SportSouth, making 2011 the first Braves season since 1972 in which Turner Sports will not produce local Braves telecasts.[25][26]
After a lengthy review process, the FCC and Department of Justice approve (with conditions) Comcast's purchase of a controlling share of NBC Universal.[27] The deal officially closes before midnight on January 28, with Comcast owning 51% of NBCU and General Electric 49%.[28] GE completed a purchase of Vivendi's 12.3% share of NBCU on January 26.[29]
19 ESPN and The University of Texas at Austin announce the creation of what will be billed as the Longhorn Network, a 24-hour network dedicated to Texas Longhorns athletics and other campus-related programming that will launch in August.[30][31]
20 Houston PBS outlet KUHT announces that they will merge their operations with its FM sister station to become Houston Public Media.[32]
The American version of Skins premieres on MTV. The series' controversial content prompts the Parents Television Council to ask the show's producers be charged with child pornography and exploitation, alleging a violation of 18 USC 1466A.[33] The controversy also leads major advertisers to pull their advertising from the program, among them Taco Bell, Wrigley Company, General Motors, Subway, H&R Block and Schick.[34][35][36]
21 Countdown with Keith Olbermann, MSNBC's highest-rated program, airs for the final time after its titular host abruptly departs the network.[37]
25 U.S. President Barack Obama delivers his State of the Union address, which is followed by not one but two opposition responses: the official Republican Party rebuttal from Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin 1st) and a Tea Party response by Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann (R-Minnesota 6th). CNN is the only major network to carry Bachmann's response live, during which she does not speak directly to the TV camera.[38]
28 CBS announces that Two and a Half Men will go on a production hiatus after series star Charlie Sheen is admitted into a rehabilitation center, one day after his hospitalization for a hernia condition.[39]

February

Date Event
1 FitTV rebrands as Discovery Fit & Health, reflecting the migration of programming from the former Discovery Health Channel since that network's conversion to OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network exactly one month earlier.[40]

3 After 10 weeks, Comcast SportsNet California and Dish Network end their carriage dispute, and the regional sports network is returned to the satellite provider.[42]

6 Green Bay's 31-25 defeat of Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XLV attracts 111 million viewers, making the Fox broadcast the most-watched program in American TV history, surpassing the previous record of 106.5 million viewers for Super Bowl XLIV one year earlier.[44]
8 Current TV announces that Keith Olbermann will join the network as the its Chief News Officer and will have an equity stake in the network's parent company, Current Media. He will also anchor and executive produce a nighttime broadcast for the network that will debut in late spring 2011.[45]

ESPN 3D is upgraded to a 24-hour channel.[49]

14-16 The Watson supercomputer built by IBM competes on the game show Jeopardy! and defeats two well-known Jeopardy! champions, Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter.[51]
20 Xfinity 3D, a Comcast-owned 24-hour 3DTV channel, commences programming with coverage of the 2011 Heritage Classic.[52]
22 NBC announces deals to broadcast all three races in the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing—the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes—through 2015. The deals reunite all three Triple Crown races on NBC for the first time since 2005, and will also include coverage on Versus of the races' Friday and Saturday undercards, including the Kentucky Oaks and Black-Eyed Susan Stakes. (ABC had aired the Belmont since 2006, while the undercards had aired on ESPN for several years.)[53]
23-24 A unique daytime-primetime crossover airs involving ABC's All My Children and TV Land's Hot in Cleveland; the premise involves Wendie Malick's Cleveland character, Victoria Chase, landing a bit role on AMC as a housekeeper. Malick (as Victoria) appears on the AMC broadcast of the 24th; AMC castmembers Susan Lucci, Darnell Williams and Michael E. Knight appear on Cleveland's episode of the 23rd.[54]
24 Following a series of angry public rants by star Charlie Sheen, including comments directed at his employers, CBS and Warner Bros. announce that production on Two and a Half Men will be canceled for the remainder of the season.[55]
25 CNN announces that Parker Spitzer co-host Kathleen Parker will leave the show to concentrate on writing her syndicated news column (though she will continue to be a CNN contributor).

26 The seventh season of GSN's High Stakes Poker premieres, with a 3DTV simulcast on N3D, the first for a serial program.[57]

March

Date Event
2 Fox News suspends the contracts of two of its political contributors, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum. Both men, who had reportedly been considering runs for President in 2012 (Gingrich would announce on March 3 that he would begin testing the waters for a run), could face termination of their contracts with Fox on May 1 unless they declare by that date their intentions not to seek office.[58]
3 Portsmouth, NH-based Carlisle One Media, Inc. announces an agreement to purchase Derry, NH station WZMY-TV from ShootingStar Broadcasting of New England, with an expected closing date of early May and a call sign change to WBIN-TV. The station, which is currently operated for ShootingStar by New Age Media, is expected to retain its affiliations with MyNetworkTV and Universal Sports (it is the Boston area affiliate for both networks).[59]
4 Twenty-seven stations owned and operated by LIN Media that serve 17 markets vanish from Dish Network at midnight after the two companies fail to reach a retransmission consent deal. The stations are restored by March 13, when the companies reach a new deal.[60]
7 After a week of interviews in which he continues criticizing his employers, but also appears at times rambling and incoherent, Charlie Sheen is officially fired from Two and a Half Men.[55]
10 Cablevision announces they will spin-off its Rainbow Media as a separate company under a new name, AMC Networks.[61]
14 AFLAC fires Gilbert Gottfried as the voice of its Aflac Duck after he tweets insensitive comments on the tragic events in Japan of March 11.[62]
15 The 2011 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament begins play, as does a multi-year broadcast partnership with CBS Sports and Turner Sports that will allow, for the first time, nationwide broadcasts of all tournament games in their entirety on CBS, TBS, TNT, and TruTV (it's the first sports programming for the latter network, which is known for true crime and reality programming).[63]
18 Netflix announces a deal with Media Rights Capital for North American distribution of the original drama series House of Cards, which will premiere on the online film service beginning in late 2012. It will be the first foray into distributing original episodic content for Netflix, which already distributes previous seasons of several network TV series.[64]
Fox announces that L. A. Reid will be part of the judges' table on The X Factor when the reality series debuts in the fall.[65]
As part of an effort to end state funding of South Carolina ETV and turn over operations to private interests, South Carolina Republican Governor Nikki Haley replaces the entire board of directors that oversee the radio/TV network.[66]
19 Tribune-owned CW affiliate KIAH/Houston converts its hour-long 5 and 9 p.m. evening newscasts to NewsFix, a new format that de-emphasizes the traditional use of anchors and reporters, uses voiceover narration (by local radio personality Greg Onofrio) for continuity, and emphasizes visual storytelling, including graphics and camerawork.[67]
22 A court-appointed receiver approves the sale of insolvent WLNE-TV/New Bedford, Massachusetts to Citadel Communications. Citadel, whose purchase attempt gained the approval of ABC (of which WLNE is an affiliate), will take over management of the station by May 1.[68]
25 Amanda Knox, an American woman who is appealing her conviction of the 2007 murder of her roommate in Italy, files an injunction to block a TV movie based on her case from airing on Italian television, claiming the movie (which premiered in the U.S. on Lifetime on February 22) left her "exploited" and "very disturbed." Knox also seeks to block the film from running on the internet; YouTube has obliged by removing clips of and references to the movie from its website.[69]
28 BBC World News America moves from BBC America to sister network BBC World News and is shortened from 60 to 30 minutes in length. The move is part of an effort to expand BBC News' U.S. operations (including efforts to increase cable/satellite carriage of BBC World News in the U.S.), as well as to more clearly define BBC America as an entertainment channel. (Content from BBC World News still airs on BBC America during early morning hours, while WNA still airs on several public television stations.)[70]
29 AMC announces that the new season of Mad Men, its 5th, will be delayed into early 2012, the side effect of ongoing contract negotiations between AMC, Lionsgate Entertainment, and series creator/producer Matthew Weiner. Weiner would ink a deal to continue as Mad Men showrunner on March 31.[71]
30 Avoiding a blackout, LIN TV reaches a retransmission deal with cable provider Cox Communications, covering 9 LIN stations in 5 markets.[72]
31 Two New York City regional sports networks announce they are in carriage disputes with a satellite provider: YES Network with DirecTV, and Dish Network with SNY. [73] Both disputes come to light the same day as the 2011 Major League Baseball season commences play (YES Network is the cable home of the New York Yankees, and SNY is the cable home of the New York Mets). SNY was later removed from Dish Network, [74] prompting SNY to take out ads attacking Dish Network and encouraging their customers to switch providers; [75] while DirecTV and YES reached a new multi-year carriage agreement eight days later without an interruption of service. [76]
A Los Angeles Times report reveals that KCET, beset by drops in ratings and pledges after disaffiliating with PBS, has been in talks to sell its longtime Sunset Boulevard studios to the Church of Scientology while planning to relocate to a smaller facility after the sale.[77]
Time Warner Cable removes 12 cable networks owned by Discovery Communications, Fox Cable Networks and Viacom from its iPad streaming video app after the companies complain their addition on the app was a violation of their distribution agreements with TWC. Animal Planet, FX, and MTV are among the networks removed from the app.[78] The next day it replaces them with 17 new channels, among them those owned by Disney/ESPN, Comcast/NBC Universal and Rainbow Media. [79]

April

Date Event
1 Three Fox Sports Net regional channels, serving Pittsburgh, the Pacific Northwest, and the Rocky Mountains and Utah, adopt a new branding, Root Sports. The networks, all owned by DirecTV Sports Networks, continue programming relationships with FSN as well as their own local team contracts.[80]
Citing lack of financial viability, the owners of Orlando PBS station WMFE-TV states that the station will be sold; the reported buyer is Dallas-based religious broadcaster Daystar Television Network.[81] PBS programming will remain on 2 other Orlando area stations, WDSC-TV in Daytona Beach and WBCC in Cocoa.
SJL Broadcasting completes its reacquisition of WJRT-TV/Flint and WTVG/Toledo from ABC. [82]
4 In an effort to expand its programming beyond college athletics, CBS College Sports Network rebrands as CBS Sports Network.[83]
An ownership group fronted by Martin Luther King III and Andrew Young announce plans for Bounce TV, an over-the-air TV network aimed at an African-American audience that plans for a Fall 2011 launch.[84]
Cablevision Systems unveils its own iPad app, featuring 300 live channels streaming over its own proprietary Advanced Digital Cable network. [85] In response, YES Network claims its inclusion on the app is a violation of their distribution agreement. [86] Viacom files a similar complaint on April 7. [87]
5 Dish Network buys bankrupt video rental chain Blockbuster Inc. for $320 million at auction.[88]
6 Fox News Channel and Glenn Beck announce that Beck's self-titled show will end later in the year, although Beck plans to develop new content for the network.[89]
7 Nexstar announces its plans to acquire CBS affiliates WFRV-TV/Green Bay and WJMN-TV/Marquette; it also reveals its intentions for a separate local newscast on the latter station, which currently simulcasts news from the former.[90]
WWE announces its plans to launch its own 24-hour cable channel in 2012. [91]
11 Hearst Corporation announces it will purchase a stake in reality producer Mark Burnett's eponymous production company.[92]
14 ABC announces the cancellation of two of its long-running daytime dramas—All My Children, which will end its 41-year run in September, and One Life To Live, whose 43-year run will end in January 2012; both shows will be replaced by lifestyle and talk programming.[93] The moves will leave General Hospital as ABC's last remaining daytime drama.
Cellular phone company Verizon Wireless announces it will phase out its famous "Can You Hear Me Now?" campaign. The catchphrase had been uttered on Verizon commercials since 2002 by the "Verizon Test Guy" (actor Paul Marcarelli), who last appeared in February promos for Verizon's iPhone 4.[94]
The studios of WDIV-TV/Detroit are evacuated after a suspicious package is left in the station foyer. No explosives were discovered, but the scare forces the station's 11PM newscast to be delayed by 15 minutes.[95]
18 ABC returns to the Salinas-Monterey, California market with "Central Coast ABC," a subchannel of NBC affiliate KSBW. The channel, which replaces out-of-market ABC stations on local cable systems, is ABC's first over-the-air presence in Salinas/Monterey since KNTV/San Jose dropped the network in 2000, eventually becoming NBC's Bay Area O&O.[96]
19

[NBC Sports] and The [National Hockey League]] reached an agreement to extend a TV deal through the 2020-21 season and put all Stanley Cup playoff games on national television. [97]
