  1. Both Jarvis Greer and Cassie Carlson are leaving WMC in Memphis. Cassie's last day will be this weekend; Jarvis will retire after 43 years on New Year's Eve. I wonder what will become of the sports department after this. https://www.actionnews5.com/2022/03/28/sports-director-jarvis-greer-retiring-action-news-5-after-43-years/
  2. Kontji Anthony will be leaving WMC in April. https://www.actionnews5.com/2022/03/09/kontji-anthony-leaving-action-news-5-after-nearly-17-years/
  3. Jeni DiPrizio has left WATN after working for 21 of its news operation's 26 years.
  4. Janice Broach retired last night after 30+ years with WMC in Memphis. Given how sudden the announcement was and the fact that she wasn't at all involved in the story (they kept saying she had already "signed off for the final time"), I do hope this was her decision. Either way, the station put together a nice retrospective: https://www.actionnews5.com/2021/09/02/janice-broach-signs-off-action-news-5-after-more-than-3-decades-telling-your-stories/
  5. I feel like the name would be a lot better if they actually did it for every day of the week. You have CBS Sunday Morning and CBS Saturday Morning... have a daily CBS Monday Morning, Tuesday, etc. Something that the other networks don't do, and ties in much better to the existing brand than just CBS Mornings.
  6. Sounds like KAIT will be getting a new set... at which point they would presumably also get a graphics update (finally, though I shouldn't complain as I always liked that Raycom package)
  7. This was already the case with Suddenlink cable for the past three weeks. The stations were pulled January 8 and only returned four days ago.
  8. Reporter Kendall Downing has left WMC after four years. He is staying in Memphis but, from the sound of it, exiting TV news.
  9. Amy Speropoulos has left WATN/WLMT and is now working as an investigative reporter at WHBQ. This means she has now worked at every station in the Memphis market.
  10. Some more Memphis news. Meteorologist Nick Gunter left WMC at the end of last month, while Meteorologist Wendy Nations' temporary weekend role has become permanent at WREG.
  11. Mike Matthews will be retiring from WATN at the end of the year: https://twitter.com/local24mike/status/1313138420982702080
  12. As an update to my above post, I think I may have finally identified the voiceover artist WMC replaced John Young with in 2018. Sounds like Dan Nachtrab to me, but compare for yourselves: https://www.dannachtrab.com/ http://www.southernmedia-nmsa.com/#1,1,WMC I created a separate thread for this back then, but didn't know if bumping it was a good idea.
  13. WMC replaced John Young a few years ago, if I remember correctly. I think the new announcer still has yet to be identified.
  14. I thought the same thing... my opinion is that SCS's deputy chief of communications, former WMC reporter Jerica Phillips, may have played a role. Just a thought.
  15. Camille Connor has joined WMC as a reporter. Over at WREG, longtime weekend meteorologist Austen Onek departed the station earlier this year.
