  1. If they were going to move into that building, they would have eight years ago.
  2. When Fox first bought the station, the rumor was that they were going to go to the Speed Channel studios on Harris Boulevard but that never came to be.
  3. It will likely replace Court TV on WCNC, as it is the only WCNC diginet not owned by Tegna, unless they add a .5.
  4. If they hadn’t got the new Fox O&O graphics last January right before the sale went through, they likely would’ve got the Nexstar graphics about the time they got the website.
  5. Yeah Morgan’s F bomb was brought up in the Nexstar thread. I posted about the potential new set in the graphics section of the Discord server. And I suspect that the Nexstar Fox graphics package might be coming with that new set. I think Page likes being able to spend more time with her family. Now she can take her kids to school. She now has a schedule better suited for a married woman with children. But you’re right. Ann will do a good job though. But why do they need TWO meteorologists at noon and 4? That’s the head scratcher to me.
  6. Ann is now on Good Day Charlotte permanently https://www.instagram.com/p/CLSvim3p9ew/?igshid=jna3wxkbnw7p
  7. Ann Wyatt Little has permanently replaced Morgan Norwood on Good Day Charlotte. https://www.instagram.com/p/CLSvim3p9ew/?igshid=at1slt5v4a7v
  8. WOW. So that explains why Ann Wyatt-Little has been on there. I wonder if she will be her permanent replacement or if she is just filling in until they get Morgan’s replacement. I also didn’t get around to mentioning that they also let Chuck Roads go at the first of the year. No more traffic reports. He is now at 730 The Game. Morgan’s Twitter is now private and she has removed Fox 46 from her bio. She has not released a statement.
  9. If they piped in WLOS here, we’d temporarily have two chances to see Wheel or Jeopardy here.
  10. It does air on WXLV from 6-7am before Good Morning America. The second two hours moves over to sister station WMYV.
  11. WJZY has now confirmed that Judge Mathis and People’s Court each move up an hour February 1 which means that the newscasts will start then.
  12. More shuffling at WJZY. Rochelle Metzger is moving to weekend mornings.
  13. Not great. It has to compete with all three stations in the first half hour at noon, and with WSOC at 12:30. At 4 it might have an outside chance to pass WCNC but not WBTV.
  14. According to TV Passport WJZY’s noon and 4pm newscasts launch February 1.
  15. Page Fehling has now left Good Day Charlotte and the noon and 4pm newscasts will be premiering in February. https://instagram.com/stories/pagefehling/2487337140659482739?utm_source=ig_story_item_share&igshid=1iwuclsh2oi0t Page’s farewell GDC post https://www.instagram.com/p/CKEwkw_JnBg/?igshid=1axvb9o55abep Why do they need three meteorologists combined for the two newscasts? (Tara, Amanda and Elisa)
  16. At one time NBC owned WNCN.
  17. Yeah I keep thinking it will be WRAZ if they ever split off from WRAL. It would’ve been WLFL but Capitol sacrificed WJZY/WMYT in 2013 to keep Fox on WRAZ and a few other cities.
  18. I have several WJZY updates that I have been meaning to catch you up on...first of all, the big news, they are launching a noon and 4pm newscast “in a couple weeks” which Paige Fehling will be a part of...saw it in the comments...https://www.instagram.com/tv/CJ5y5KvJNmm/?igshid=1xblzpryufgb1 Also Brigida Mack left the station last week... https://www.instagram.com/p/CJpBSNLDBKb/?igshid=kqpxbuy0jpo7 As did the reporter who was reporting live from Taylorsville as the bridge collapsed (Amber Roberts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJfF5RyhZ-6/?igshid=w6nvx20tdby1 They did hire Morgan Norwood away from WTVD. Her first day was December 16. Paige said they will be hiring someone else for Good Day. She also said in a comment that a Morgan will be with her on the new newscasts but I don’t know if she meant Morgan Frances or Morgan Norwood. It is also not known how long the newscasts will last. The 4pm news will almost certainly last an hour...but the noon news could only be 30 minutes. This is probably why they swapped 25 Words or Less and Dr. Oz back in the Fall.
  19. If Meredith sold all to Nexstar/Mission there would be a conflict in GSA and WHNS would have to be divested...I think there are other conflicts as well...
  20. Apparently Capitol Broadcasting and Dish Network are now in a dispute. Dish subscribers in Raleigh/Durham have now lost WRAL AND WRAZ right after they just got WNCN back just over a week ago. Now they’ll need an antenna for Fox AND NBC football if they don’t come to an agreement by Sunday.
  21. Tegna and DirecTV have kissed and made up. For me, just in time for SNF tonight!
  22. This isn’t permanent but will still take some getting used to. Yet another former WBTV personality winds up on a rival station.
  23. Mark Davenport leaving WBTV after 7 years for Spectrum News
