  1. Late-reporting this but in Pittsburgh. WTAE promoted Brittany Hoke to weekend evening anchor and has hired Alex Alecci as their new weekend meteorologist. http://www.pbrtv.com/wtae-names-new-weekend-anchor-and-meteorologist/ They started this past weekend.
  2. Dateline: Pittsburgh Meteorologist Ray Petelin, who was let go from Hearst's WTAE last month popped up as a fill-in on CBS's KDKA-TV Friday evening. He was given a warm introduction by Stacy Smith at 4pm.
  3. WTAE weekend anchor Jackie Cain is heading to KSTP-TV in Minneapolis-St. Paul. http://www.pbrtv.com/cain-headed-to-twin-cities/
  4. She was shaking her head a lot there. She's been here in Pittsburgh for close to two decades now. She seems better suited as a beat reporter.
  5. Be careful. I re-posted my KDKA videos last year under my brother's account, luckily there still up there for now. I'd love to see some pre-1985 Eyewitness News intros. One promo had a brief glimpse of what appears to be an early 80s/late 70s news open.
  6. Seonded! I personally have little to no interest in the foreign-language videos and always scroll past them myself.
  7. Great job! I was on that channel yesterday watching the WPXI montage and when I refreshed the page an hour or two later the WTAE montage was up.
  8. News Director out at KDKA-TV. This is the second staff member to leave the station since the July arrival of new vice-president and General Manager Jay Howell. http://www.post-gazette.com/ae/tv-radio/2018/08/20/KDKA-TV-news-director-Anne-Linaberger-exits-Pittsburgh/stories/201808200141
  9. The latest upload from eyeontv. CBS's 1985 We've Got The Touch campaign in higher quality
  10. Probably rare CBS Late Movie Bumper, with a CBS indent. Localized CBS affiliate ID for the 87-88 season. Using the CBS Mini-Series intro music
  11. Some Pittsburgh updates: WPXI meteorologist Valerie Smock exiting the news team. http://www.post-gazette.com/ae/tv-radio/2018/03/02/WPXI-Valerie-Smock-leaving/stories/201803020152 Former WTAE personality Frank Cappelli has passed. http://www.pbrtv.com/in-memoriam-frank-cappelli/
  12. I assume all of the COX stations do it, I first noticed it on WPXI about three weeks ago.
  13. 70s KDKA Radio Image spots by Kein& 1983 Image spot for KDKA-TV
  14. Portions of KDKA-TV 2's Eyewitness News from March 2, 1996. KDKA-TV 2 aircheck from 2/17/88 featuring promos for Pittsburgh2Day, Evening Magazine and two Newsbreaks with Patti Burns.
  15. IMO CBSTM should just go with Gayle and Norah. Add a third anchor at a later if you still feel one is needed. It would also make a statement to not replace Charlie with another male, I would go as far to say that IF they do go for a third anchor it should be another woman.
  16. I think he was at KDKA-TV in the morning slot here about a decade or so. He might have co-anchored with either Sonni Abatta or Heather Barnett at the time? The name and face seem familiar.
  17. I was watching the world series and it looks like WKBN is changing female anchors again. This time on the morning news, didn't catch the name. They seem to leave abruptly there, and it seems like its only with the male anchors.
  18. KDKA-TV 2's morning traffic reporter Sarah Arbogast has left the station. Celina Pompeani has joined the station as traffic reporter. She is the youngest of evening sports anchor Bob Pompeani's two daughters.
  19. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4slgbhQUoNk
  20. I was the original poster of that material. I have back-ups of the main 'goodies,' such as the news opens. I just re-posted a few of them on my brother's account. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=v5i9g7ddSDc;t=10
