  1. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2019/3/18/the-story-of-the-missing-milwaukee-anchor More details surroding Brad Hicks' exit from WITI. Looks like he pissed the Bucks off. I'm bet talk radio will probably have a take of it.
  2. Brad Hicks has quietly left WITI https://www.jsonline.com/story/entertainment/television-radio/2019/03/14/news-anchor-brad-hicks-has-left-witi-tv-channel-6-station-confirms/3144890002/
  3. Check me in too, through mild austism.
  4. Another stupid $$ move by the new GM and The Church of Tisch. Hope Jeff can resurface soon.
  5. Saw this awhile ago while searching vintage Hawaii video and forgot to post it. Loved that morning theme music they had before the relaunch later that year.
  6. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2018/9/13/longtime-san-diego-anchor-is-killed So sad to hear that KUSI's David Davis has passed. I remember watching him here on WISN.
  7. Actually, Mits joined CFCF around 1982 as a reporter and became anchor in 1986.
  8. Impact - era WTMJ promos from 1999.... The channel also has WISN promos from 2001...
  9. Two KXTV notes...Morning anchor Megan Telles, which moved off the Morning Blend this June to work on a new "show" on the station has exited the station via her instagram/facebook. Cristina Mendonsa..another KXTV exile has resurfaced on KFBK radio replacing vet Amy Lewis on the morning news program as of this week, she had been doing special reports. Indeed also shows a slew of openings at the station, including weekend AM anchor.
  10. More changes at KXTV in Sacramento... Morning Blend anchor Megan Telles reassigned to upcoming 4pm show debuting this fall...Walt Gray holding down the fort for the Blend... 9am/11am newscast cancelled, internet show Extra Shot, which has been "under reconstruction" cancelled as well (?) Paid lifestyle show Sac and Co moves to 9am, Daily Blast Live is now at 11am.
  11. He left not long after the video was posted.. https://www.deseretnews.com/article/303483/KSTU-CHANNEL-13-REVAMPS-ANCHOR-DESK.html
  12. Saw this a weeks ago and forgot to post. I think it's maybe around 1998, as Mark Baden didn't join 12 until 1997 On a Milwaukee-related note, I am starting to believe that WTMJ didn't switch to Impact until they updated the graphics package "with the ring L3" logo in 1996, as seen here: Unless they switched in December as the KING 1992 theme and first gen jcBD look were still active in November (which the former I believe I also am starting to believe Wow and Flutter composed it, and the 1999 theme KING had.) I am actually in a Broadcast Animation class at MATC, which is teached by the head Graphics Supervisor for many years at TMJ, His demo and channel features some of his work at TMJ here: (1988 special) A bit anxious to ask him about it, even though I had thoughts in my mind about it. I told him a little about my TV News hobby through in my class.
  13. CBS2 GM Marty Wilke to step down at the end of March http://www.robertfeder.com/2018/03/12/cbs-2-general-manager-marty-wilke-calls-quits/
  14. Like her former co-anchor Paul Piaskoski, who's apparently pursing a law career via his Linkedin, Michele McCormack has found a career after TV, and has joined the Hunger Task Force as a manger. I hope they both enjoy life after the screen, especially at WDJT...they deserve it. Just ask KKTV's Brian Bledsoe on how life's after 58's been going after a decade out of there, I bet Paul and Michele will have a similar positive experience. https://www.jsonline.com/story/entertainment/television-radio/2018/03/09/former-wdjt-tv-anchor-reporter-michele-mccormack-joins-hunger-task-force/399222002/
  15. WNBC ND Susan Sullivan is being promted to NBC News after nearly a decade in the big chair... https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2018/2/23/wnbcs-news-director-leaving-for-the-mothership
  16. Now, Laura Loomer is cozing up to KVVU's ND. Vintage Meredith! https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2018/1/30/vegas-station-cozies-up-with-alt-right-investigative-journalist
  17. Jenny Milkowski is out. Who's next? I hope the new traffic girl rents just in case (or when) WGN Morning News gets blown up by $inclair. Like I said on FB, wasn't surprised by this. Thought she would leave before being pushed out, but oh well. She has a following and will find a better fit for her in time. http://www.robertfeder.com/2018/01/29/michelle-alegria-join-good-day-chicago-traffic-reporter/
  18. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2018/1/23/out-the-door-in-milwaukee Here's FTVLive's take. Amanda Porterfield will replace her as I saw on FB mentions.
  19. Longtime WDJT anchor Michele McCormack announced on her personal FB page that she has left the station as of the 16th.
  20. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2017/12/29/nd-out-in-milwaukee From Milwaukee....WTMJ ND Janet Hundley is out
  21. WTSP News Director Bob Clinkingbeard (which used to work here in Milwaukee at WITI) is out as of October 5. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2017/9/28/1st-on-ftvlive-news-director-out-in-tegans-tampa-station
  22. WDJT...again. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2017/8/14/dont-ever-leave-a-station-during-sweeps This comes at the heels of Meredith announcing this... http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2017/8/11/meredith-wants-you-to-cough-up-10000-bucks-to-leave-the-station
  23. I kinda wish Hearst would buy Meredith and pull a WIAT. I have followed Swann over the years and he would be better off doing talk radio. Less complications.
