    Even worse. They're using Aerial as their news theme 🤦‍♂️

     

    The irony is not lost on me that one of the most boring fonts has a very similar name to one of the most boring music packages.

    WJZY Adds Two and Moves One

    There's more changes in Charlotte, this time at WJZY FOX46. Will moving their main anchor Barbara Lash to mornings and bringing in a young reporter from Houston as her replacement help them?

     

     

    Main anchor Barbara Lash (center) is being moved to the mornings.

     

     

    Kayla Ayres (right) is being hired from KPRC Houston to replace her as main anchor

     

     

    And the one on the far left, Ashlee McGeehan, is being hired as a reporter from WJET Erie

     

     

    Stay tuned as they say...

     

    Not a terrible move. Barbara Lash (nee Pinson) used to be an AM anchor at WBTV a few years back. The morning ratings could use anything they can to get improved ratings, and I don't think the 10pm ratings will suffer unless Ayres has issues. I just really don't see them ever making a dent in the ratings unless they either get a big local name or they have some outrageous publicity stunt. I'm bearish on Charlotte being able to support 6 TV news organizations.

    Chris Hohmann updated his post to say Fred & Sheyenne Rodriguez (also a WTVD reporter) will be moving to Charlotte. No word on what station as of yet.

     

    His last three twitter follows were Bill McGinty, Michelle Boudin and Dianne Gallagher, all 3 from WCNC

    I noticed that WZZM's holdings company is Combined Communications of Oklahoma and it hit me. Wouldn't it make sense if Gannett/Tegna bought Griffin Communications in Oklahoma (which has KWTV and KSBI in Oklahoma City as well as KOTV and KQCW in Tulsa)?

     

    That is certainly possible.

     

    The Combined Communications of Oklahoma name is due to the fact that they were part of the trade that sent KOCO and WLWT to Argyle (before they hitched up with Hearst) for WZZM and WGRZ.
