History will be made in Buffalo next month on WGRZ: TWO women will split the duties on the weekday evening newscasts! Maria Genero will do early evenings (5 to 6:30pm) while Heather Waldman will do the 10pm (on WUTV) and 11pm newscasts. They'll replace Kevin O'Connell who left the station earlier this month. Good for them! http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2018/7/26/its-ladies-night https://buffalonews.com/2018/07/25/wgrzs-genero-waldman-to-make-local-tv-history-after-oconnells-departure/

Plus, WNCN got a brand-new set, too. I like it!

It appears that Nexstar pulled its stations' live streaming from the NewsOn apps and WatchNewsOn.com. It was replaced with "Unfortunately, ____ is no longer available on NewsOn. For ____'s coverage on NewsOn, you can tune into ____." or "We're working to add another station in the area as soon as possible" or a black screen. The stations' logos were replaced by the NewsOn logo.

WUSA 9's new website went live last week.
