| 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 coronavirus pandemic on March 25. Since then, an early June nominations announcement was postponed due to the [[George Floyd protests|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.

List of 2021 American television debuts
2020–21 United States network television schedule
2021–22 United States network television schedule
List of American television programs currently in production

The following is a list of events affecting American television in 2021.

Future events

January

Date Event Source
10 The first Critics' Choice Super Awards honoring films in the sci-fi, action, horror and superhero genres will air on The CW. [1]
31 The 63rd Grammy Awards will air on CBS with Trevor Noah as the host. [2][3]

February

Date Event Source
7 Super Bowl LV, which is to be played at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, will air in English on CBS, and in Spanish on ESPN Deportes. NBC was originally supposed to air the game, but it was traded for Super Bowl LVI. [4]
28 The 78th Golden Globe Awards will air on NBC with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler as the hosts. The COVID-19 pandemic moved it from its usual first Sunday of January berth, along with film awards season in general. [5]

March

Date Event Source
7 The 26th Critics' Choice Awards will air on The CW. Taye Diggs will host for the third consecutive year. [6]

April

Date Event Source
18 The 56th Academy of Country Music Awards will air on CBS. [7]
25 The 93rd Academy Awards will air on ABC, moved from February 28, and the latest date in its history. [8]

July

Date Event Source
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. [9]
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 that year's the COVID-19 pandemic. 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. [10][11]
[12][13]

TBD

Date Event Source
Early Peter Roth will step down as the chairman of Warner Bros. Television Group and be succeeded by Channing Dungey. [14][15]
TBD The 2021 iHeartRadio Music Awards will air on Fox after the 2020 ceremony was cancelled due to that year's coronavirus pandemic. [16]
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 coronavirus 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. [17][18]

Networks and services

Launches

Network Type Launch date Notes Source
Discovery+ Over-the-top 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. [86]
G4 Linear and digital TBA 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. [87][88]

OTT streaming 		January 15 Following its acquisition of the network's satellite slot from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Allen Media Group is to relaunch 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. [91]
DIY Network Magnolia Network Cable and satellite TBA 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.

Television stations

Station closures

Station Channel Affiliation Market Date Notes Source
XHRIO 15.1 The CW Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico
(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. [95]
