    All I have to say is that you are definitely in the minority.

    You're talking about viewers who will call these stations by old, no-longer used brands (I used to have a co-worker that still called KSAT 12's newscasts "NewsWatch" in the 2010s), their network, or their cable channels. The average viewer does not admire station branding to the extent you or this community in general does.

     

    Yeah, I know. I know I'm not an average viewer. But then again, who else is? Pretty much everybody else here. Haha.

     

    I know average viewers don't care.

  2. if I wanted to watch them again, it will only be from 6-10am, 5-7pm and whenever the hell Prime is on, but now that program is in danger if Megyn Kelly officially joins. Plus, I'm not sure if the 11pm hour will be even better.

     

    I feel so bad for Marni Hughes. Just like Rudabeh Shahbazi, I hope she gets to leave soon and escape from this madness.

    People check the weather, they don’t check the “First Alert Forecast™.”

    They eventually will say that. I'll check the AccuWeather Forecast from Channel 7 (WABC) or my First Alert Weather Forecast from WBRC FOX 6. Eventually, it will graze into your mentality.

     

    I'm already used to saying 7 Weather Forecast for WSVN or my First Alert Forecast from NBC 6.

  4. Do not talk about Orlando. Everything is staying put. The owners are happy with their stations, and SERIOUSLY have no plans to sell anytime soon. Not now, not for a long time.

     

    To put this into perspective... WESH has been owned by Hearst since 1999 (WKCF since 2006), WKMG with Graham since 1997, WFTV since 1985 (WRDQ since 2001), and WOFL since 2002 (WRBW since 2001).

     

    To think that NO major Orlando station (not counting WKCF, WRDQ and WRBW) has changed ownership in twenty years is just purely amazing, and it also tells you that these stations are not being planned on being sold anytime soon.

    No, I don't have time for that. 😂  (kidding)

    I love, um, how they, um, included the "um"s when they quoted Tom Lewis:

     

     

    This has to be the most BS thing I've ever heard of in a Nexstar new set story:

     

    Quote

    News 13 took into account viewer and employee feedback and implemented it into the studio renovation.

     

    No they bleeping didn't! Its just another Nexstar set in a box!

    Kind of mixed feelings about the NEXT weather for WFOR. I know that WTVJ had the First Alert Weather for a long time now, still think First Alert is too generic though.

     

    WPTV uses it, so does WBBH.

     

    In other words, all NBC affiliates (WTVJ's being an O&O) in Southern Florida (I mean South of I-4) use the First Alert branding.

    WALA FOX 10 is expanding Studio 10 to TWO hours and adding a midday newscast this fall.  Not sure if the midday news will be on at 11am or noon.  Joe Emer announced this morning on Good Day Gulf Coast, and he will be moving to these new shows, bringing Eric Reynolds back to the program with Sarah Wall. Eric currently anchors the 4:30-7am portion.

     

    That's the first time I've seen a lifestyle program expand to 2 hours....has this happened anywhere else?

     

     

    KTVX Salt Lake City is calling. They got Good Things Utah on from 9:00-11:00 a.m.

    My bad didn’t know KTLA had a full hour at 3pm I thought it was online streaming and I thought KDOC was a full hour per it’s tv listings on its site. 

     

    No, it is. I'm just saying that once KABC's news on KDOC goes away (and it will, thanks a lot TCT), there will be that 7:30 p.m. break.

    So much News on every channel in LA except from 2-3pm, 3:30-4pm, and 11:35pm - 4am

     

    More car chases to come….

     

    4am - 2pm News

    Hour Break from 2 - 3pm

    3 - 3:30pm News
    (:30 min break)
    4 - 11:35pm News 

     

     

    Umm... KTLA's 3pm news is on for an hour.

     

    It will actually soon be 4am-2pm, hour break from 2-3pm, 3-7:30pm, 30 minute break at 7:30pm and 8-11:35pm once KABC's news on KDOC end due to the latter's sale to TCT.

    Fox Weather is now using two separate OCM teams on America's Weather Weekend:

     

    6am-10am ET: Craig Herrera and Amy Freeze (Michael Estime filling in for Amy today)

    10am-12pm ET: Steve Bender and Kiyana Lewis

     

    Then it looks like Kiyana Lewis sticks around to provide occasional weather updates during the automated Fox Weather Live.

     

    Seems like since they're adding Steve and Kiyana to weekends now, it's a missed opportunity to not provide fully-live weather programming until 1pm or 2pm ET, instead having them only work two fully-live hours of programming.

     

    I've seen Kelly Costa on late weekend nights in some instances for occasional weather updates.

     

    And yeah, that is a missed opportunity. Make it 6am-2pm at least. I mean, hell, TWC stops at 1pm so that 2pm hour would kick their butts.

    WSBK is keeping their 8pm news and moving the 10pm portion of their MyNet schedule to 1am. I think it would’ve been easier for them to have the news at 9 and 10 and MyNet from 11pm-1am. 

     

    No because... competition. WHDH is on at both 9 and 10pm. Why not keep WBZ's traditional news on WSBK at 8pm and have the experiment on at 10pm.

    I didn't realize until seeing this thread but it looks as though NBCU went with WTVJ 6.4 and not WSCV for Oxygen. For years now there has been no 51.3, only .2 for TeleXitos and .4 for an SD Telemundo version for Palm Beach. Anyway, has any update on whether or not Spectrum dominated areas will get Oxygen OTA?

     

    I'm not surprised. NBC O&Os get first blood for Oxygen OTA with Telemundo only picking them up on stations where there's no NBC O&O in the market (Houston for ex.).

  13. @Spring RubberIt looks like the new weekend schedule is permanent. Just checked the schedule for today and tomorrow, it will be the third weekend in a row that FOX Weather will air FOX Weather LIVE from 12:00-8:00 p.m. along with its usual 11:00 p.m.-1:00 a.m. + 5:00-6:00 a.m. airings and, of course Night Light from 1:00-5:00 a.m.

     

    The 8:00-11:00 p.m. hours seem to be various programs each weekend. For example, last weekend at 9:00 p.m. was FOX Weather Wild, but this weekend, it will be a special Tracking The Tropics with Bryan Norcross. Also, at 10:00 p.m., it was Park'd with Abby Hornacek (a FOX Nation thing) but this weekend, its FOX Weather Reports. So, it will be various programs during the 8:00-11:00 p.m. timeframe, as in long-form programming.

     

    But overall, FOX Weather is now airing more current weather programming on weekends.

     

    EDIT: Here's what the new weekend schedule entails...

    • 6:00AM-12:00PM: America's Weather Weekend
    • 12:00-08:00 PM: FOX Weather LIVE
    • 08:00-11:00 PM: Various Programming (this could be FOX Weather Reports, FOX Weather Rewind, Tracking The Tropics, etc.; changes week to week)
    • 11:00PM-1:00AM: FOX Weather LIVE
    • 01:00-05:00 AM: Night Light
    • 05:00-06:00 AM: FOX Weather LIVE

    This was sent to me, but FOX8 in Greensboro, NC is replacing "The Real" with self-syndicated "The Lee and Hayley Show" (originates from WTVQ in Lexington) on July 5th. The timeslot currently was being filled with a second helping of "Judge Judy". As much as I like Judge Judy, two hours is overkill. Good on FOX8 to pick them up.

     

    Would love to see more stations pick up Lee and Hayley with all of the other talk shows being canceled or realigned this season (I would suggest KCWX in San Antonio pick them up but they don't exactly make it easy for viewers to get in touch with them).

     

    Anyone who knows me knows I am a major fan of this show and it doesn't get enough love because this show is just amazing.

     

     

     

    After watching that interview, I see why you loved them. You got a nice studio! Our place is a dump.

    GMA3 actually have an Noon ET/11am CT feed.

     

    Sister station KETV Omaha, and another ABC affil WBRZ Baton Rouge carry the earlier feed.

     

    GMA3 has two feeds? Wow. No wonder why I'm seeing more ABC affiliates on the Central time zone either moving or adding news at 12 Noon now.

    New M&A. Owners of the former Fox affiliate in the Central Coast is selling its station.

     

    Seal Rock Broadcasters is selling now CW affil KCBA to VistaWest Media for $1M. 

     

    The paperwork included an SSA & an Option agreements between NPG (owners of KION) & VistaWest.

     

     

    I know nothing much will change here in terms of programming but I wonder if there will be an effect on local news and if KION will do more to have more news on KCBA or just keep it status quo as is.

     

    I find it interesting even though I know it won't have much effect.

    I don't understand this so I must be missing something. Could you show me how COX been running the Telemundo brand into the ground? I can only speak to WSOC who has been putting resources towards their Telemundo affiliate, like an evening newscast and producing Charlotte FC games with Telemundo specific announcers in their secondary studio. Not bad considering they could have just taken the national feed and slapped it on a subchannel. 

     

    Yeah seems like CMG has done well taking care of Telemundo Charlotte. I see them doing the same in Seattle and Jacksonville, but more so in Seattle IMO since Seattle also has Univision too.

    That might be what NBC is preparing the stations for. Telemundo 49 in Tampa also got a new building as well, with all state of the art equipment and studios as well.

     

    I know Telemundo has other low-power O&Os to their roster but I think they should give more priority to it's newer Florida O&Os because of the Hispanic population throughout the state, especially in the areas it broadcasts in: Tampa Bay, Central Florida and yes, even Southwest Florida IMO should count towards this.

    They would have to share spectrum with another full-power station; it's already on a subchannel of WRDQ (albeit in SD).

     

    That's fine with me but Channel 31 is the same Telemundo signal three times over to cover three different areas. Replace three low power signals with one full power signal across the whole market. If NBCUniversal went for this change, the FCC would so approve it in a heartbeat.
