  1. New court show: Cutlers Court, with husband-and-wife duo Dana and Keith Cutler of Couples Court fame. Sold in 80% of the country.
  2. Effectively succeeding KRON’s 8 and 9pm newscasts, when they sign on with The CW. Interesting there’s no 10pm. I guess CBS is going to continue with Now News after all?
  3. Longtime KDFW traffic reporter Chip Waggoner is going off the air for the rest of the year because he was employed by a traffic agency and has decided to leave that company to join Fox full-time. He’ll return in early 2024, when he is an official Fox employee.
  4. Interesting how they haven’t claimed texas21.com yet.
  5. CBS has registered the following domains: philly57.com detroit50.com bayarea44.com newyork55.com pittsburgh19.com losangeles9.com atlanta69.com
  6. Update: these are syndicated half-hour reruns they’re testing. There’s a play-at-home game:
  7. KTXA is airing it. Checked their schedule, it’s there for the rest of the week.
  8. KDFW ran Fox’s Name That Tune today at 12:30. The rerun was half of an episode that aired in primetime. I wonder if Fox is testing NTT for a possible half-hour strip.
  9. Their new afternoon schedule is: 2pm - Drew Barrymore (both halves, since that show is keeping the half-hour format) 3pm - LMAD 4pm - News
  10. WBBM is moving Drew Barrymore back to 2pm this fall. (h/t @24994J)
  11. If anything, they’d be bound for Gray. WINK-WXCW is already being run like a Gray shop.
  12. Appears Gray is now paying royalties to CBS for Next Weather.
  13. Minor change to NBC’s scorebug. The play clock is now within the time/quarter circle, rather than popping out from the bottom of the circle.
  14. Both of them actually anchored the Peachtree 7-9am newscast until the new arrangement started.
  15. Nickelodeon will produce an alternate broadcast of Super Bowl LVIII.
  16. Ever since Rob Hughes left for WLS, it’s been Lana solo at 4:30am, Don Shipman and Lana at 5am & 8am, and Brooks & Gurvir from 6-8am and 9am.
  17. As I predicted, The CW is moving to KQCA in Sacramento.
  18. She actually filled in a few months ago.
  19. ESPN's new NBA A-team: Mike Breen, Doris Burke and Doc Rivers.
  20. Ex-FCC commish Ervin Duggan and Bill Kristol are now involved.
  21. Looks like they’re trying to align themselves with Nightly.
  22. According to this piece, Gray is syndicating InvestigateTV+ to all of its stations. It will also be offered to stations in non-Gray markets as well.
  23. As long as the syndication market is in the current state it’s in, you’re gonna see more newscasts added, IMO.
  24. In another major sports coup, The CW has acquired rights to NASCAR’s Xfinity Series. Deal starts in 2025.
  25. Rob Hughes, formerly of WANF, has joined as a weekend anchor.
