  2. Alex Wagner is leaving MSNBC to join The Atlantic http://www.politico.com/blogs/on-media/2016/04/alex-wagner-leaves-msnbc-for-the-atlantic-222442
  3. KARE buyouts http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/4/14/twin-cities-station-losing-staff-to-tenga-buyouts WCNC and KSDK buyouts http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/more-tegna-buyouts-in-st-louis-and-charlotte/168687 (sorry if these were mentioned before )
  4. WXIA buyouts have been confirmed: Keith Whitney, Kevin Rowson and Donna Lowry. http://radiotvtalk.blog.ajc.com/2016/04/12/11alive-buyouts-confirmed-keith-whitney-kevin-rowson-donna-lowry/
  5. In terms of their big 4 stations here is the situation: Their Montana ABC/Fox duopoly (KSVI/KHMT) doesn't, WNTZ doesn't, WWTI in Watertown, NY doesn't either but that's more of a satellite of WSYR, for the moment KWKT doesn't have a news department but they will launch one later this year, and WLAX / WEUX don't. Obviously this doesn't count standalone CW stations.
  6. Sinclair's Wisconsin stations were ordered to air an extended 25 minute Trump interview with Sharyl Atkisson during their Sunday newscasts. I guess we now know which candidate Sinclair execs like the most http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/4/4/sinclair-turns-stations-over-to-trump

  11. employees at KEYE have filed complaints against the station with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/2/15/troubled-time-in-austin
  12. Don't forget we was fired from ESPN for saying that Robert Griffin III wasn't black enough and calling him a " cornball brother"
  13. We've got a dispute between Nexstar's KLAS and Cox Communications http://awfulannouncing.com/2016/over-350000-cox-customers-in-vegas-face-a-potential-super-bowl-blackout.html
  14. Sinclair has bought the Tennis channel http://deadline.com/2016/01/sinclair-buys-tennis-channel-1201691628/
  15. That's horrible. Thoughts go out to her family and WLS-TV
  16. NJTV (the statewide PBS affiliate for New Jersey) is considering joining the spectrum auction http://current.org/2016/01/new-jersey-network-could-relinquish-spectrum-in-upcoming-fcc-auction/
  17. At least 7 employees, 3 of them on air talent, were fired from WTOL this week. Rumor is that it's because they were playing Cards Against Humanity while at work over the New Years Weekend http://www.toledoblade.com/TV-Radio/2016/01/15/WTOL-fires-several.html#yqb0FgrfDVaiywBQ.03
  18. A producer at WFLD told female reporters to not wear hats during live shots because they “look a lot better without hats,” he would make an exception “if it’s 20 below.” Station management have said that it was never a station policy and that the producer would be reprimanded http://awfulannouncing.com/2016/chicago-tv-stations-hats-off-policy-for-female-reporters-didnt-last-very-long.html
  19. How much rain did SD get, 2 inches ?

  21. Reporting excellence from Sinclair http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2015/12/17/everything-that-is-wrong-with-local-tv-news-in-200
  22. Facts have a well known liberal bias
  23. I apologize if this has been posted before but WKBW has hired a reporter/anchor from CTV. http://talkintv.buffalonews.com/2015/11/19/ch-7-hires-reporter-anchor-from-ctv-putting-pasceris-future-up-in-the-air/ Speculation is that she may replace Joanna Pasceri as the Primary female evening co-anchor. Pasceri has been with Channel 7 for 22 years.
