    Or it could replace The Talk.

     

    Maybe CBS returns 12:30 to affiliates and moves Y&R to 1 and B&B to 2 and puts the new soap at 2:30 (if it’s 30 minutes). If it’s an hour it would likely just go right in at 2 ET. 

     

    I hope it replaces The Talk; I hated that show ever since. I had a vision of what the lineup would look like.

     

    10AM (ET) - LMAD

    11AM (ET) - The Price is Right

    12PM - Local News

    12:30PM - Y&R

    1:30PM - B&B

    2PM - The Gates

     

    In case you forgotten, CBS pulled the plug on two legendary soaps (GL & AWTW) in '09 and '10. And for game show fans like me,

    in case you might remember CBS did a pilot for ($1,000,000) Pyramid in '09, but it was passed up... twice!

  2. Seattle Television and KOMO 4 News are just the same without Chief Weathercaster, Steve Pool. Steve passed away this afternoon, his widow said it was early-onset Alzheimer's Disease. Condolences go out to his wife, his two daughters, and to his extended family at KOMO ABC 4. RIP Steve and Godspeed. Say hello to Kathi Geortzen from all of us here.

  3. In my neck of the woods, ET has been with WFAA 8 ever since. It aired after The Update at 10pm, then it moved to 11:05pm after Nightline, and finally moved to its cuttent time slot 6:30pm in 2005 after WOF left 8 and moved to CBS 11 (KTVT).

    Looks like WKBD is about to return to the News scene, and their newscasts will be produced by WWJ.

     

    Question is, will their newscasts be called  BA News Detroit or will it be called WKBD News, powered or streaming on CBS News Detroit??  

     

    Will 'KBD go against 'JBK and 'MYD in the 10pm news race? That's if their 10pm news returns to TV50.

    Ah cool. WDSU was the last time I saw him so didn't know he moved.

     

    Let's not forget Lonnie Quinn was a soap opera actor on All My Children before he went on to be a weathercaster at WTVJ and currently CBS 2 (WCBS) New York.

  7. A Salt Lake City news legend is gone. Dick Nourse the longtime anchor of KSL 5 (Eyewitness) News has passed away at the age of 83. Dick was a Utah Institution alongside weatherman Bob Welti and sportscaster Paul James and became the #1 rated news team in Salt Lake City. Nourse worked alongside many KSL legends like Shelly Thomas, Bruce Lindsay, Carole Mikita, Craig Bolerjack, Keith McCord and the list goes on and on. Prayers and condolences go out to the family of Dick Nourse and the staff and management of KSL 5 (Eyewitness) News at this challenging time.

    Important note, Deegan made history as the first woman to be elected as mayor of Jacksonville, which had been the most populous U.S. city with a Republican mayor (a status that will be assumed by Fort Worth and its mayor, Mattie Parker, once Deegan is inaugurated).

     

    Considering her husband, Tim, is still chief meteorologist at WTLV/WJXX, what will Donna's election mean for his status with First Coast News? He did cede his slot on the 11:00 p.m. newscast last June, which Lew Turner (who had been FCN's weekend morning meteorologist beforehand) was assigned to as Deegan chose to reduce his workload to the early evening newscasts. 

     

    Let's not forget another former Jacksonville news anchor whose also been elected to public office. Former WJKS/WJXT Joyce Morgan been elected Duval County property appraiser.

    I wonder if AMG will swoop in and buy TEGNA now that the Standard General merger is dead?

     

    IMO, I hope it happens, AMG deserves a second chance to buy Tegna can clean up the mess.
