  1. Another win for Lester Holt in the ratings. http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2015/10/27/another-win-for-lester-holt
  2. Here something maybe somebody can elaborate on. So in certain Sinclair markets such as; KGBT, KVII, WPDE, KTUL. Those stations have the new Sinclair web design. When you click on the bio page for the anchors/reporters. They have all the faces on their website. Is it me or why does the pictures look blurry, but when you click on them individually their pictures are clear?
  3. If the MG deal with Nexstar goes through Colleen will soon follow and Jym contract up in 2017. It will be an end of an era for Newswatch 4, News 4: The News Channel, NewsChannel 4, NBC4.
  4. Me personally I feel they could do a anchor shuffle over at WAGA. Isn't FOX Sports South at WAGA? Send Ron Gant over there. I know he a popular former Braves player. Send him over to FOX Sports South, and move Tom Haynes the Good Day and have Stephany/Cynne at 5pm, Lisa/Russ at 6, Cynne/ Russ at 10, Stephany solo at 11pm.
  5. Demarco Morgan leaving WXIA for CBS News. Is it even official that Stephany going over to FOX 5 or speculation? Stephany team up with Cynne at 5 and do 11pm Edge News if she does go over to WAGA, but her Brenda teaming up on WXIA would be good move for them, but not probably going to happen. WXIA losing too many people.
  6. I don't think ABC would want to lose one of their best affiliates, plus they have a few years left on their contract with ABC/Disney. Hearst & ABC have such a strong relationship and CVB ratings have always been tops. Ed doesn't like to sell, so again it 1988 all over again this time with WHDH. Ed needs some more station in his portfolio. If NBC wants Channel 7 I wonder if he could make a deal with Cox to get FOX 25 in the market.
  7. In: Former KLAS anchor Dayna Roselli will be doing the morning news this time on KTNV. http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2015/10/1/back-in-the-game Possible Out : WHDH's NBC affiliation http://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2015/09/30/talks-between-nbc-could-shake-boston/ZtdmbRyk22jycRoHY8IUDI/story.html
  8. I think The McKinnons are going to keep KUSI in the family fold. I don't think they will sell San Diego and was surprise they sold their Texas shops.
  9. Indy biggest news anchor is out at WISH-TV8. Eric Halvorson is leaving at the end of the week. ( With Rumors of Nexstar buying MG it only a matter of time before the good folks at WISH leave for the competition. I see Eric & Debby together again at CBS 4 next year.) http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2015/9/30/out-the-door-in-indy http://www.ibj.com/articles/55081-lead-anchorman-halvorson-out-at-wish-tv Cheryl Jennings at KGO-ABC7 leaving the anchor desk for "special projects" http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2015/9/30/off-the-anchor-desk-in-san-francisco
  10. I agree with you, and not only that but ABC & FOX are two different networks as well too. Yeah it a mess.
  11. Cynitha Demos at CBS4 in Miami gave her 2 weeks notice.... http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2015/9/29/another-one-out-the-door-in-miami Jasmine Huda out at KMOV 4 in STL http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2015/9/29/passed-over-in-st-louis
  12. NBC 33 in Baton Rouge is now Local 33. {Local Branding seems to be the flavor of moment for Nexstar }
  13. WOW....Do people watch Tennis like that? Ok let see how this will play out. Does Sinclair have the $$$ for this? I know it business, but they're being like the fat kid at the party eating all the cake from everybody else.
  14. During Gannett run {pre-TEGNA & BELO} has a thing for many of their stations having a 7:00 news vs. a 4pm show. I know Phoenix has a locally produce show and evening news but with WKYC, WLTX, WJXX, WUSA {&formally WXIA did as too} produce a 7pm show. Now Scripps has some stations Detroit, Indy, now Cincinnati with 7pm news. Surprise WMAR, WFTS, & WEWS didn't get into the 7pm local news race.
  15. OUTS: Jon Kelly will leave FOX 32 on Dec 1, taking over is George Smith will reunite with Good Day EP Dan Salamone who was his news director at in Cleveland at WOIO. Candace Burns named permanent anchor of WTVR she was the fill-in anchor for Stephanie Rochon who died this year. Kate Sullivan out at CBS 2 in Chicago. Irika Sargent will move in the role from WFOR CBS O&O in Miami. KFOR News Director leaving for Asst News Director at WUSA 9 in D.C. Also in OKC Meg Alexander will be back on tv this time at FOX 25 KOKH. She will be apart of a new lifestyle show airing at 10am called Living Oklahoma.
  16. I know the company TEGNA but I've been saying Gannett/TEGNA because I'm so use to Gannett. Anyway they've updated their apps. I've been watching alot of KARE 11 on the app and 11 ALIVE. The previous app I thought was great, but the new app maybe even better. Has anyone tried or like the new app for the TEGNA stations? BTW I didn't realize how polish KARE 11 News product is. It doesn't seem too Gannett-ish/TEGNA-ish if that make sense.
  17. Will we see by year 2020 that Locally owned stations will cease to exist in broadcast and all stations will be owned by a media conglomerate?
  18. Was there discussion on WEAR updated logo seems it been like this for a several months. Thoughts? The bird still flying next to the three.
  19. Why not add WJW to the duopoly picture? Where did the Indians telecast go? Back in the day this station along with a slew of stations had the games telecast? Did they get too expensive for stations to pay for? Indians, Cavs game would do great for WUAB. It seems that when 19/43 merge 43 was always the big dog, but when CBS move to 19 they totally forgot about 43 and poured all their resources into 19 instead of 43.
  20. Thoughts of the new logo from WKMG?
  21. WOW! There still will be a 10pm news just for 30 minutes so they still will compete for the first 30 minutes. Several things come to mind here. In 2001/2002 WKBD conceded to WJBK in Detroit during the 10pm hour. To see WUAB still with a 10pm in the television climate it only (30minutes) I guess the bottom line is they still see $$$. What does FOX plan to do with MyNetwork TV? Will it cease airing anything or what will be BIG is during the 90s WUAB aired Hercules, Xena (oops forgot NBC commissioned the series) & those Action Pack Movies. Will other affiliates shuffle MyNetwork TV to late night like WUAB is doing?
  22. Reported a week ago and I guess it now official since it in the local paper. Starting Sept 7 WKMG will air a 4pm news and will be dumping the Local 6 brand for "News 6 Getting Results" http://www.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment/tv/tv-guy/os-wkmg-adds-4-pm-newscast-20150827-post.html
  23. Derek leaving WUSA that kind of big with Derek McGinty, Lesli Foster and Jan Jeffcoat holding the evening newscast down. I wonder will TEGNA poached some talent from WTTG or WJLA or find someone from in-house TEGNA stations.
  24. I like the 19 logo but the red/black/white was more of attention grabber than the yellow and blue which seems to be more calmer and relaxing.
  25. Seems like alot of talent are leaving the Channel 9 Natalie, Blair, and others as well. Blair staying with Cox though. WSOC & WFTV are both ABC affiliates, with the same owner and the #1 status in ratings. However WSOC doesn't seem to have a strong bench of talent like WFTV. I wonder will WSOC get some young hires that will stay with the station for years to come.
