  1. Sinclair bought WSYX in 1996 not sure when they merged the buildings into each other. FOX 28 left their studios on Sunbury Rd and moved into WSYX's studios at 1261 Dublin Rd. The FOX set was in the same studio directly across from the two sets WSYX had at the time for their broadcast.
  2. WOIO, WDJT and even WGCL were able to compete with their rivals. All (3) have achieve something and they were able to win certain newscast. Not all, but were able to have a fighting chance. If CBS is serious they will invest and try something new and you never know, they might do well. Anything is possible in this era of tv.
  3. I say either get Fanchon Stinger who once worked at FOX 2 and yeah her situation was over a decade ago, or Rhonda Walker from Local 4. I also say Jeff Vaughn and yeah he in Sunny California, but he been on Ch 4&7 . Jeff Vaughn with either Rhonda or Fanchon could be the evening face. Or bring in Lucy Noland those just some names in the market.
  4. It airs at 1PM EST. You think Charles David Todd MTP Daily going to get the axe? Garrett Hake is a good reporter. Kate Snow that a good choice. There a lot of good people on the bench waiting to get a chance.
  5. So happy to hear, and it about time. Believe it or not WWJ does well in prime time viewing & some day parts. Here hoping they can snag someone with a big name in the market. Also as for branding name why not WWJ News? WBZ & WJZ goes by that name? Hmmm.
  6. WSB not cutting that hour-long 6pm that bread and butter.
  7. I'm shocked that CBS46 was able to snag Monica, because at 74 I would think she would have enjoyed her retirement, but reading Rodney Ho article. WSB-TV wouldn't do any specials-which I'm scratching my head. Cox has to get their act together, because Apollo-is really hurting once a top broadcasting company. I truly hope Hearst would snag those Cox stations. You have to give Gray credit for everything, because Gray is making moves, and everything that Gray is investing in. Cox should have done that along time ago. I just don't understand why Cox desperately wanted to get out of the media business. WSB, WFTV, and (when they did owned KTVU) were the 3 biggest revenue stations in the company chain.
  8. From 1984 when it WTVN-TV before switching to WSYX- Channel 6 during it Action News era. a great newscast with two icons. Michelle Gailiun was at (WCMH) and Tom Ryan (WBNS) in the 70s before jumping over to 6!
  9. where you’ve been? It been #1 under Diane & Muir WNT, but it not the same WNT when Peter Jennings was on. I wouldn’t be shocked if BW went over to CBS for EN, but how many from NBC go to CBS just to get kicked in the face? Katie Couric & Bryant Gumbel both didn’t move the needle. I see Tom Llamas moving in at 11pm on MSNBC.
  10. Back in 2007 all (4) Atlanta anchors from the major affiliate stations- Monica Pearson (WSB), Russ Spencer (WAGA) , Karyn Greer (WXIA) & Stephany Fisher (WGCL) talking about the role of tv news and technology back then. How even things have changed from 07 to 2021
  11. Maybe the new habit could be WLNE ABC 6. Give em a chance..
  12. In one day in one market alot of folks leaving. Art Rascon is retiring and his son Jacob will step in his dad shoes next year. Then others are leaving such as Marla Carter and the exit of Cory McGinnis. Then over at KPRC the face of the station Dominique Sachse is leaving in October. This is a major news, because she been with the station for a long time. WOW! What going on at KTRK? I wonder what has Dominique wanting to leave?
  13. I'm looking for some info and want to see if any diehard Philly newsies or anyone have some answers. Going back to the days when KYW-3 was NBC and WCAU was CBS. I found a 1990 write up in The Philadelphia Inquirer. It was talking about KYW-3 ratings down after a certain sweeps period. They had the numbers in there, and the 6pm news was a rating point behind WCAU. The 11pm tied with WCAU. What I want to know is with affiliated with NBC at that time, was KYW 3 ever competitive? Does anybody know if there were times with NBC having some good programming helped KYW leaped to #2, or was it always dead-last? As for WCAU it was owned by CBS and I'm sure CBS had to be happy with their performance vs. NY, LA, Chicago O&O were not doing so well. Just wanted to know if anyone who knows Philly, have some stories or details about the market before the 1995 CBS/NBC switch. Looking at some of the old KYW-3 videos it does seem like KYW-3 News was solid off course there are different eras. I see some like The News Tonight era.
  14. Such an overkill with News on KSTP- They have the Twin Cities Live from 3-4PM-ish? Maybe they're moving it to KSTC 45?
  15. Behind the Scenes of WJZ Channel 13 in 1992 during ABC era
