  1. I think George could have left ABC by now if he wanted. Let’s be honest there is a arguable point that the face of GMA anchor is better than anchor of the basement evening broadcast.

  2. The collateral impact to GMA if CBS snagged Stephanopoulos might make it worth it. I gotta disagree about Jane Pauley being better in mornings. She was Brokaw’s primary fill-in for years and led NBC’s first successful newsmagazine. I think Jane would definitely have the presence to fill the CBSEN chair, but why would she want it? She has the best gig going on broadcast news on Sunday Morning.

  3. An update on WSB Action News anchor Jovita Moore. She is recovering after undergoing surgery for brain tumors this morning. Jovita's surgery went well and doctors say she is a model patient. If you want to leave well wishes to Jovita, please visit the special page devoted to Jovita on the station's website. Thoughts and prayers are with you Jovita. Go with God, and he'll go with you in the power of prayer. https://www.wsbtv.com/jovita/

  4. I honestly had no idea he was viral but his dancing seems pretty legit (much better than the average TikToker). Seems like he was ousted unexpectedly, so this is sad. FOX 46 needs to get over its growing pains soon, because there's been too much switcharoo recently.

  6. I still run into people that think FOX and/or FOX News are owned by Disney. They heard about Disney buying 20th Century, and didn't realize that the purchase excluded FOX and FOX News.

  7. Fox News as well as CNN & MSNBC are bad for the American public. They provide a hyperbolic sense of urgency to many continually unfolding matters and instill a fear in their viewers of the opposing political side. It's unfortunate that a lot of the less media literate will eat up whatever CNN, MSNBC, and Fox spews. What I've also noticed is that many average viewers don't make a distinction between The Fox News Channel, the Fox broadcast network and their local Fox affiliates. Case and point, someone I know questioned why I would watch "Fox News", after I had shared a screenshot of a weather forecast from a local Fox affiliate. Similarly, a friend of mine expressed skepticism that a network like Fox (associating it with the Fox News Channel) would air something like "Empire" , unaware that broadcast Fox had a history of airing urban and (and less conservative oriented) shows like In Living Color, Martin, Living Single and Married With Children. Interestingly enough big Fox airs shows like Family Guy and The Simpsons which have openly lampooned Fox & Fox News. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any other major media entity that lets such sharp in house criticism of its parent corporation go uncensored.

  8. As I've expressed before CBS News doesn't really have in house talent that could sustain the Evening News. The few exceptions would be perhaps Ted Koppel, and maybe Leslie Stahl. They need someone that posses a "super anchor" like presence, commanding of audience attention. Gayle, Norah, and Jane Pauley have the right personality for mornings. Oprah & Gayle function very well as the "big prime time special interview" getter that ABC had in Diane Sawyer and Barbra Walters. I like Margate Brenan (she does well occasionally subbing for Norah on CBSEN) and John Dickerson on politics. IF for speculation sake they were planning on replacing the Evening News anchor, I think they would need to snatch a big name from an outside network. Someone like Shepard Smith, Wolf Blitzer, or George Stephanopoulos among others.

  9. Why are we talking about this? The head of CBS News is stepping down, not Norah O'Donnell. There's no indication Norah is going anywhere. Is it a possibility? Sure. But it's not a guarantee. Whoever takes over the news department will certainly want to make changes, but I'm inclined to think CBS won't want to make another anchor change so soon after the last one.

  10. In regards to KATC, even though their current logo is on station vehicles, their sign outside their studios still has the 80s-90s "3" logo design; that sign has been in place since (I'm guessing) at least 1983-84 (this is when Loyola University New Orleans owned the station and KATC had the same news theme music as then-sister station WWL in NOLA). So I would not be surprised if, in addition to changes eventually showing up on-air, we also see a new logo on station vehicles AND a new sign for the station outside.......

  14. With heavy hearts and prayers going out to WSB's Jovita Moore battling brain cancer, A CNN correspondent is mourning the loss of his two year old son. CNN's Rene Marsh's son Blake had died of brain cancer at the very young age of 2 years old. It's very emotional and difficult for a parent to lose a child to cancer. Prayers and condolences goes out to CNN's Rene Marsh and to her family in this difficult time. https://www.msn.com/en-us/music/celebrity/cnn-correspondent-rene-marsh-announces-death-of-2-year-old-son-blake-from-brain-cancer/
