The Viacom-owned free (for now, anyway) streaming service Pluto TV already carries a number of diginets; I wonder if Court TV will join the lineup eventually. It could help with distribution in areas where a number of these diginets don't have wide distribution.

After the Charlie Rose scandal CTM lost its momentum. All the anchor shuffling since then is an outgrowth of that.

The best advice for any CTM or CBSEN anchor not named Gayle King is, rent, don't buy. As for the moves, I'd say that, if you're gonna be in third place, might as well try to establish a niche for yourself.

Is that really a matter of WGCL no longer being a basket case or just Tegna making a royal mess of WXIA?

When Meredith didn't pounce when other groups were looking to sell off stations that should have been a sign that they didn't see TV as a core business.

Meredith is the next group cashing out https://www.reuters.com/article/us-meredith-stations-exclusive/exclusive-meredith-to-explore-sale-of-its-u-s-broadcast-stations-sources-idUSKCN1S74KX

WABI sports director Tim Throckmorton is retiring after nearly 40 years https://bangordailynews.com/2019/04/23/sports/channel-5-sports-director-retires-after-39-years/

WAGM still uses News Source as its newscast title. WABI used Telejournal News as its newscast title for decades, a reflection of the extensive French-Canadian heritage in Maine

Tegna's NewsCenter Maine and New England Sports Network announce partnership to provide weather forecasts for Northern New England markets.

Legendary WGME anchor Kim Block is still recovering from a concussion sustained when she fell on ice in early January, just days after celebrating her 38th anniversary as co-anchor of the 6PM newscast https://wgme.com/news/local/cbs-13-wishes-kim-block-the-best-during-concussion-recovery

Sure would be nice to have her back in Boston - Channel 7 is slowly imploding.

Hopefully they won't fill the time slot with that recycled LX garbage that belongs on one of Byron Allen's networks.

NBC Sports Boston has told Red Sox reporter Evan Drellich his services are no longer needed; it appears the network will have no dedicated reporter covering the defending World Series Champions going forward. https://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2019/02/12/nbc-sports-boston-parts-ways-with-its-red-sox-reporter/y5tqVazaR1xhiaqdl8lkhJ/story.html

And they would be morons.

Chris Wayland, who cut his teeth at Ed Ansin's crosstown Sunbeam before moving on to Tribune, will head up NBC Boston https://tvnewscheck.com/article/more-news/230055/chris-wayland-named-wbts-wneu-necn-station-manager/
