I’ve also seen that they only have the time/temp on for morning and midday newscasts now, no longer on the the long-established prime time block or late news. Haven’t checked the 4:00 PM on 9 or the 5:00–6:30 PM on 2. That’s a step backward, in my view, because the other news-producing stations in L.A. (KTLA, KABC, KTTV, KMEX, KVEA) have it on for every newscast (and have done so for more than a decade) while the only other one not have it on the late news is KNBC (except, inexplicably, on Saturday nights).

I agree with @MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie, who isn’t harming anyone. When people post these types of things, it’s not like the sky is falling. Everything in moderation, including moderation. Take a chill pill.

Until KDOC flipped to religious programming, both stations shared the local syndication rights to the Seinfeld reruns, with KCOP airing two episodes in the 10:00 PM spot, with KDOC airing the same episodes in the 11:00 PM slot.

I wonder where all the court shows are gonna go?

Patrick Healy is retiring after almost 40 years.

Not sure if this belongs here or merits its own thread, but Joel Vilmenay has been named GM of KCBS/KCAL. He comes from WDSU-TV in New Orleans. He starts October 18. https://tvnewscheck.com/business/article/joel-vilmenay-named-gm-of-cbss-l-a-duopoly/

Fixed.

Peter Saiers to become KTLA’s ND on April 21: https://ktla.com/community/veteran-journalist-peter-saiers-named-ktla-news-director/

I wonder if we could see the likes of:

Dish is involved in seven different carriage disputes at this time. That number could grow to eight if a new deal between the satellite TV provider and the Cox Media Group, which owns 18 stations in 10 markets, isn’t reached by 7 PM ET on October 1. https://tvanswerman.com/2020/09/29/dish-could-lose-even-more-channels-this-week/

Dave Lopez is retiring from the KCBS/KCAL duopoly in Los Angeles. His last day on air is June 30.

Thanks for clarifying that for me.

I just noticed that the sticky thread titled “I HATE LISTS” is gone. What does this mean?
