  1. @24994J With all these CBS O&O stations it appears that CBS has invested the money into certain operations; No Idk Yes WCBS, WBBM, KYW, WWJ KPIX,WFOR, WJZ KCBS, KTVT, KCNC, WCCO, WBZ, KDKA As for WBBM, I'm trying to understand them and when you look through the many decades on YouTube. What could move the needle up at BBM? It seem when they had Diann Burns, & Ahern at the wheel they were making strides, but with CBS' top prime-time viewing one would see BBM ratings at 10pm up. Also Steve Baskerville seems have been with the station for many years, and have to survive the many managers, and he's still there. What his story?
  2. Don't know if it was reported, but David Wittman left CBS 19 in Cleveland back on Dec 18, 2015. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment/tv/tv-guy/os-wkmg-alum-david-wittman-leaving-cleveland-20160106-post.html
  3. Do you think Rob Johnson made a mistake going over to CBS 2 instead of sticking with ABC 7, and could of moved up into a daytime role either morning or evening? Watching CBS 2 News in the evening it just missing so many elements, and there no chemistry with Rob & Irika. However there was chemistry w/ Rob & Kate.
  4. I so agree with you both, because Sara is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than, Paula who tries so hard and it doesn't work. Paula good at GMA, and reporting, but on The View she not flavor of the month IMO. Whoopi, Michelle, Joy, Candace, and Sara Haines that panel works IMO really well.
  5. Yeah, and I think Cox should buy all of ABC O&O and merge with Scripps, but it not going to happen. Scripps & TEGNA are so parallel that I get them mixed up at times.
  6. Mike Jackson and Colleen Marshall make good sense. Mike been with 4 since 1994, and Colleen will celebrate 30 yrs with the station next yr. Ellie & Duane will just do the 5PM News, but many don't like Duane. Also I'm surprise Gabe Spiegel not looking at 4 or 10. He moving back to town. He's a communication director at some company. He no longer on WJW 4pm news.
  7. Speaking of WBAL, I do remember they live stream their news, but I see their news is on demand giving you a video of a different newscast. However Hearst' WCVB was doing live stream. Does BAL still live stream?
  8. Question have there been any weather personalities that have transfer from weather to news? We see many go from sports to news, but has there been some go from weather to news?
  9. Retirement videos for the following Cabot Rea at WCMH/ NBC 4 in Columbus, Ohio retired on Dec 18, 2015 after 30 years with the station. http://nbc4i.com/2015/12/18/30-years-with-cabot-rea-cabots-last-day/ Ruth Spencer at WDIV/ Local 4 in Detroit also retired on Dec18, 2015 after 25 years with the station. http://www.clickondetroit.com/video/ruth-spencers-reflections-on-her-career
  10. Derek Beasley will be the new chief meteorologist at WFTX in Southwest, FL. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/wftx-introduces-derek-beasley-as-chief-meteorologist/160785
  11. In Atlanta, WSB-TV has reporter Don McClellan who been apart of WSB for over a half of a century, and up in his 80s no doubt. Yes, he not on the street beat daily, but every now and then he pops up. Over at rival WXIA there Bill Liss who probably in his 70s, but both are a fixture on Atlanta TV News, and have been around for years.
  12. It easy to say he should be grateful, but at 80+ years of age he not going to play the game to make management feel good about themselves. I'm sure we either have grandparents in their late 70s/early 80s or know someone in that age demographic. At that stage of life they don't care about saving face or making sure someones feelings are not hurt. They say what on their mind, and don't give a shit if your mad, sad or upset with what they say. They speak their minds and keep it moving and that the life of being crotchety in your golden years.
  13. WDSU's classic Open from Gari's Good News and I had to find one with Lynn Gansar: WWL News classic Open from Stephen Arnold: WVUE classic Open from Gari's News Series 2000:
  14. Jennifer Johnson leaves WSMV/ Channel 4 in Nashville, after 13 years. http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2015/12/21/siging-off-in-nashville In Chicago, it was told that Harry Porterfield retired from the CBS owned WBBM, but Harry said he was told his contract wasn't going to be renew at CBS 2, so he didn't come back for the final farewell broadcast. http://www.robertfeder.com/2015/12/17/cbs-2-announces-harry-porterfield-retirement/

  16. Could anybody see Channel 11 having an hour block of news from 6:30-7:30 PM? Where the 6:30 could grow into another 30 minutes at 7PM? Add EXTRA or one of those Entertainment Magazines shows at 7:30 PM, there you go Channel 11.
