We had a whimsical marble cake to celebrate.

Hedge funds are always bad news.

A 1984 promo for WLS's recently hired on-air personalities; this period marked the end of WLS's troubles of the early '80s and the beginning of decades-long dominance:

An interesting YouTube documentary about the history of the news on CTC in Canberra, Australia:

WNBC has named a new weekend anchor, coming from the CBS O&O in Dallas. She begins Nov. 4. https://tvnewscheck.com/article/more-news/240112/gilma-avalos-named-wnbc-weekend-evening-news-anchor/?utm_source=Listrak&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=Gilma+Avalos+Named+WNBC+Weekend+Evening+News+Anchor&utm_campaign=Nexstar+%26+Sook%3a+TVN's+Station+Group+Of+The+Year

I’d say early 1998. JoAnne Purtan left 6 to her current job at WXYZ later that year.

WNEP plus other ex-Nexstar and Tribune stations would like a word with you.

Based on the reactions to this-- I cannot wait for the shitstorm to ensue when WNEP picks up the Tegna theme.

Take it for what it's worth, but I don't think a little bit of informed opinion is such a bad thing. We have been subjected to three years of blatant Russia Russia Russia propaganda about Trump. Orwellian propaganda. I think the mainstream media would earn a lot of cred if they stop regurgitating propaganda and start interjecting their opinion that this is all a bunch of BS conjured up by people trying to cover up some major crimes they committed. You see, I don't think the average person is die hard conservavative or die hard leftist. But everybody loves to see crooks get what's coming to them, everybody loves a good hanging and everybody likes a good tar and feathering. The first respected mainstream national media guy to reject the Washington party line and call out what has been going on will have the same kind of respect accorded Bob Woodward. But the key words in the first paragraph are "informed opinion." Who has the ability to see what's going on and to tell it like it is and the gravitas to get people to listen? Not some kid who is wet behind the ears, that's for sure.
