In regard to Tampa, what was so hard about getting WTSP to handle the news production? And then in Detroit, why not just rebuild everything again? I already know what people are going to say about that, and imo, it's no excuse. They should have just stuck with it. I sort of understand Atlanta given that WGCL already has WPCH to do news for but then again, WWBT has news on both WRLH and WUPV and even here in my market, KTAL does KMSS AND KSHV. I like the initiative but at the very least, have the respective CBS affiliates in that market (aside from Detroit) be involved in some way, even if you're just relying on them for certain things. I guess this is just how the cookie crumbled though.

I don't know why but I actually like this.

I saw it coming when Scripps bought the station. Scripps bought that show for several of their stations. But its appalling how it's taken this long to get her in Miami. Maybe now she'll get into the Twin Cities.

Would me taking a picture of the newscast be proof? Also, it was listed on TV Guide. I have a picture from earlier this morning. That's Nate Fluharty on the right (of First News on KTBS) anchoring. Neil Shaw was in for Brian Fowler who normally does weather on mornings. However, by the time they went to 9am, Dominique Brogle (who normally does that hour anyway) was anchoring.

Staying on the topic of news, for whatever reason, known only to KTBS, KPXJ has seemingly expanded to 8am. I already posted on Discord.

I don't know whether this has been covered here or anywhere else but KWKT has a 6:00pm newscast now and a lifestyle show. Apparently, this has been on for quite some time.

Ok, CBS doesn't even distribute Tamron Hall. She comes out of Disney. Bro, where are you getting this information? Or is this just in your mind?

Even before that, they weren't exactly like WAGA when it was a CBS station.

This makes me question KABB's decision even more given that both KABB and KEYE are run by the same group manager. Yeah, I know. They may not have confidence in the show but it still doesn't sit right.

I do agree with all of you that WPLG could do without all of the extra Newscasts but how about some criticism towards other area stations. I mean, WSVN broadcasts a scripted court show at 2pm that could have been given up. And I'm sure WBFS or WSFL could have found the time for her as well without putting her in a graveyard slot like how KABB is choosing to do things. PLG isn't the only one who deserves to be criticized here.

The portion in Guadalupe is part of San Antonio but you're right. Caldwell is part of Austin.

Yep. And that's part of the DMA as well. If she comes back for a second season, I would hope KCWX, if they can afford her, would be able to steal the show away. I feel like she has the power to come back for a second round, as will Kelly Clarkson.

Remember when I said WOAI picked up Tamron Hall? Yeah, she'll be on KABB.........at 2:00am. They gave Kelly Clarkson the 4:00pm timeslot where Steve was, though.

Relating somewhat to this, Wendy Williams is moving over to WHNS this fall, and in addtion to her, WHNS has also picked up Tamron Hall and Judge Jerry. Her current home, WSPA is moving Judge Judy to 3pm and will be launching a new 4pm newscast. This begins September 9th.
