BOTH. Traditional newscasts will continue. Concepts like "NewsFix" will continue to suck.

Archive time! An interview with Linda from 2012. And a drawing from 2009, which was broadcast on WGN America:

A very fitting move for WGN. Glad that they are letting Linda do it for one last time. Again, I liked Linda more than the other personalities that they had. (Used to watch through Superstation WGN, then WGN America.)

Had a feeling this would happen. After being denied the top job, AGAIN, she knew she didn't like what management did there and just couldn't take it anymore. The result... resignation. If you ask me, if WFOR 4 really did the right thing, then they would've had Cynthia and Rick at 5 and 11pm. Cynthia was there since 2007, longer than both Lauren Pastrana (2012) and Rudabeh Shahbazi (August 2015) and even Rick Folbaum (2014). But I now I know why they have such exodus at the station, when it comes to talent. CBS 4 News... Where The News is Rated Last.

Two of Waypoint Media's stations in Mississippi are adding local news on October 5th. One of them is doing so for the first time ever while the other one hasn't done a local newscast in 10 years: [MEDIA=twitter]644535304007852032[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=twitter]647861582865674240[/MEDIA]

KDBC 4 in 2005 before their big collapse...

I remember watching Linda, thanks to Superstation WGN carrying the Illinois Lottery Drawings. Its a small part that made WGN News at 9:00 special for those watching outside of Chicago. Well I hope so too. She was the only person there who had a lot of personality and she was fun to watch because she would always smile. She will be missed.

KHQ 6 (NBC) Spokane - Coeur d'Alene from Tuesday April 6th, 1999, during the era of their branding mess. I don't know if I was watching KHQ Local News or Q6 News. Either way, they couldn't choose one:

When you have LIVE coverage from 6:30-8:00 p.m. on the main channel after the regular 6:00 p.m. news, then there's no point in putting a 7:00 p.m. newscast on Cozi TV when there's LIVE coverage of the pope's visit in New York on WNBC 4.

Or just put some... HOT Bench at 2:00 p.m.

You know that this controversy is big when its on your Facebook trending highlights... "WGN-TV: Chicago TV station uses Nazi symbol for segment about Jewish holiday Yom Kippur."

Yes it was. She just arrived last month! And already... she gets the evening gig. That's why I thought she would be the least candidate to replace Irika and have Cynthia Demos actually to replace her, but then again, she was in my list of one of three candidates to replace her. From that three, Rudabeh gets promoted to evening anchor, Lauren moves to the morning where she used to fill-in and Cynthia gets nothing in return, by staying as weekend anchor.

I already posted this on the "Random WBBM Thread," but today, WFOR 4 officially announces that Rudabeh Shahbazi (A hottie, IMO) will anchor CBS 4 News at 5:00, 5:30 and 11:00 while Lauren Pastrana is promoted to anchor "CBS 4 News This Morning" from 5:00-7:00 a.m. with Walter Makaula: http://miami.cbslocal.com/2015/09/23/cbs4-names-rudabeh-shahbazi-late-news-anchor-and-lauren-pastrana-morning-news-anchor/

In the end, I was semi-right, but apparently Cynthia Demos was not promoted. WFOR 4 promoted Rudabeh Shahbazi to anchor the 5:00, 5:30 and 11:00 p.m. news while Lauren Pastrana takes over the 5:00-7:00 a.m. morning show: http://miami.cbslocal.com/2015/09/23/cbs4-names-rudabeh-shahbazi-late-news-anchor-and-lauren-pastrana-morning-news-anchor/

WCVB has it, as well as WVTM and WYFF. Probably more are coming soon.

This is 1,000,000 times better than their previous look. The station should be grateful for Nexstar's ownership because they are finally bringing change to the last-place station.

Let's put those rumors to rest... [MEDIA=twitter]644556299842154496[/MEDIA] So either it will run Good Day Oklahoma in the interim or will just wait until Living Oklahoma debuts on October 5th. Either way, its NOT a newscast. Make note of that. And welcome back Meg, to OKC Television.

If true, then good for WTXF! Seems like every time KYW 3 lets go of somebody popular, WTXF 29 picks up whoever KYW 3 dropped. It already happened with Bob Kelly. And now with Kathy Orr... for sure... KYW 3's ratings have fallen even further down the basement.

Kate Sullivan could come to WFOR 4, but it wouldn't care on my end because again, I don't watch WFOR 4 and neither does the rest of South Florida. I thought of 3 replacements for Irika Sargant. We'll forget her name, very quickly: 1) Cynthia Demos. She was the weeknight anchor until demoted for Irika. I think she's the highest possible replacement for Irika, since she's been at WFOR 4 since around 2007, I think. 2) Rudabeh Shahbazi. She's a hottie, IMO, but I don't think they will give her the evening shift after just working in the morning shift for 1-2 months. There's just no way. I think she is the least of candidates to take over. 3) Lauren Pastrana. She did evening reporting, before being asked to fill-in to anchor the morning news after Rhiannon Ally (now at KSHB) left and remained filling-in until Rudabeh showed up from KABC. Another name just threw in my brain... Michele Gillen. She did anchor at WTVJ for a number of years, but with her very good work at investigations for WFOR 4, I don't think she would give up that just for another shot at anchoring again. It's a very confusing, trouble mess at WFOR 4. The exodus of talent at the station, continues.

Surprised about that because I thought they would announce it first to Schurz's flagship station, WSBT 22.

Never really liked Irika Sargent that much, so if she goes away, I wouldn't care and neither would South Florida because nobody here watches WFOR 4. WFOR 4 = WBBM 2. That's how I see it.

I misread what myronfalwell said. My apologies.

Nope. It was on at 12:30pm weekday afternoons after LIVE on Lakeside.

WOIO 19 has a Sunday morning newscast from 7:00-9:00 a.m.

Well... its more than football he's thinking of.
