Been doing some thinking. Between this show getting another four episodes this season and the posters for the Invasion crossover teasing the Hall of Justice, could they be planning to either revamp or cancel and replace Legends of Tomorrow with a Justice League series? You know, drop the time travel aspect (probably saving them quite a bit of money) and focus on them building a League of heroes.
Most of the characters have even been members of the Justice League: Atom, Firestorm, Vixen (though, she'd probably return to her own time), Black Canary (whom Sara is based on). Nate Heywood hasn't, but his cousin has.
Naturally, they wouldn't have a fully formed Justice League with a satellite (because that's totally something they could get their hands on, in five minutes), by the end of the first episode. Such a show would be about them trying to put together (setting up shop, finding possible new recruits, tackling the occational threat) what eventually becomes the Justice League.
Granted, they couldn't call it the "Justice League" (due to the movie). However, that name strikes me (as I picture such a show) as waayy down the line. Right now they're "Legends". Finding a new name isn't their top priority. They could take on the mantle as the new "Justice Society" for a while. Or use "Justice Experience" (yes, that's an existing DC team) or something else. Perhaps try a few. Not everything has to be in place, in the first five minutes.
