They’ve lost their minds at Sinclair.

Couldnt they put it on their Raleigh stations WLFL/WRDC that’s a duopoly and Fresno KMPH/KFRE that a duopoly there yet they wanted to put it on 2 ABC O&Os in the same respective station essentially they’re paying the competition. They have soup olives in Raleigh and Fresno why would they put it in a competing station in their respective cities.

2010 was the last time they debuted a new set that was when Allison Floyd and Tim McGinnis were anchors and Rich Chrampanis was still sports director all of them gone. That’s how long they had the set.

Yeah it pretty difficult to get WPLG on board with a subchannel. Especially that WPLG does News for WSFL and with them dumping the affiliation that newscast is likely over. That might put a bad taste in Grahams mouth that means Scripps was not happy with their deal.

What about WNYW they produce less hours of news compared to WPIX their CW competitor, they also don’t air or simulcast news on WWOR. There in the same boat as KTTV. The only difference is NY doesn’t do an 11pm show to compete against it CW competitor and FOX is #1 over CW in NYC.

It called tradition, we need to keep them. Just like how WPVI the mother of the Action News brand would never do something like this and drop it. Or even worse drop Move Closer to your world. Jim Gardner retired from channel 6, in 10 years should we drop the “Action News” branding and MCTYW? No. Because it’s tradition. WXYZ in Detriot caved to modernism by rebranding.

Abomination… truly awful.

I could see him coming back to network. But Rob probably not leaving so no open slot. But maybe he do features and transition of off weather. He really good with features it’s like he never left GMA.

That to get WPIX fully in their hands. Not gonna like WPIX has been saved because of Nexstar.

It was shut down I was part of the team I got the call while I was on vacation. While I cannot explain the full details it was an abrupt shut down for us.

Wow never seen a big market station celebrate a morning show anniversary that’s uniquely Chicago. I think it’s great I don’t recall lots of stations marking anniversaries of news expansions, I see them on Univisión and Telemundo stations but not English language.

WNJU has been broadcasting from Fletcher Ave in Fort Lee since CNBC moved up 9W to Englewood Cliffs. I think before that they were in a small building in Teterboro Correct my bad yes Fort Lee, since 2004. There Teterboro building was nice because the sets in that building was a view of the small newsroom they had.

It’s hard moving a station into another building especially across the river into New York you would think this wouldn’t be hard but I agree it’s should be done by now. But NYC traffic probably slows it down. Also WNJU has been in there current Linden, NJ facility for 20 years since 2004. Also the FCC has probably got to approve the move they have to have a presence in their city of license even if newscast are moving to 30 Rock according to guidelines.

Truly an end of an era.
