Moderators - can you please consider renaming this thread to “Gray Graphics” since this thread has long passed the scope of the topic…and ironically, the WOIO graphics aren’t even the standard Gray graphics. (It might be a better idea than being rude to people who post threads with this topic/title, then belittle them and shut down the thread…)

A right-wing YouTuber issued a racist diatribe on KPIX' Betty Yu, and the station manager and CBSTVS comes out in her defence: https://deadline.com/2021/10/steven-crowder-racist-remarks-condemn-betty-yu-cbs-in-and-out-burger-1234859549/

Interesting. in 2009 and 010, Ann Curry, Natalie Morales,, Savannah Guthrie, Amy Robach, Norah O'Donnell and Erin Burnett were al either seen as potential successors to Meredith on TODAY Show or were rising starts in the industry. Now Savannah has been TODAY Show Co-anchor for 9 years, Norah is now the anchor of CBS Evening News, Amy is the co-anchor or 20/20, Erin has a primetime show on CNN. Ann Curry is doing documentaries on PBS. . Natalie? Will she now on the talk.. A "View" wannabe copycat is way more gossipy and celerity oriented. What happened? well et be hoses here she has never really been seen as a hard news journalist. A lot of that is probably the fault of NBC. They never really treated her fairly or gave a lot of hard news assignment. She never fit on access Hollywood. The reason she ended up in L.A is because her husband got a job offer. Things were changing at NBC. So they decided to take it. In order to keep her at the network they gave her Access Hollywood and made her West Coast Correspondent. Kind of like Ann "senior correspond" role she didn't do a lot with it so probably a little more then Ann. You at least saw Natalie periodically on the show show whether in L.A or NYC. I don't think NBC really knew what to do with either nd with Ann thee was a lot of awkwardness after what transpired.

This LA Times piece says that FWX will also be offered on the Fox O&O subchannels in January, so not likely. Yeah, it’s my fault for linking that video in the first place.

Im sure this is temporary until her contract is up. The station is too cheap for two mets.

If I had DISH I would not have half of my market's big four stations (and The CW) right now. (I could still get CBS in SD from Pullman's KLEW as DISH and Sinclair continue talks.)

KRON May 1980 Update 11pm preshow and open Some early Telesound Signature action on KPIX 1981 - cued up in 2 spots KPIX 1987 Nightcast preshow (weeknight version. - a little more action packed than the weekend version above)

Local weather hubbing seems like it would make far more sense with the groups like Tegna, Sinclair, and Nexstar that have significant medium to larger market stations right next to small-market stations than it does for network O&Os that tend to be much more spread out. For the hypothetical surprise Sunday morning tornado warning, someone who's from a couple hundred miles away at most is going to have a much better shot at knowing what names on the radar map are significant population centers, the unusual/difficult pronunciations, and the general state of the atmosphere. And even for things like weekend mornings or fill-ins, "so-and-so is joining us from our sister station in a nearby big city" feels like it would work as a toss.
