But then again, her husband is a coach with the Baltimore Orioles. Could she be going to work for Sinclair after her non-compete is over? Scripps, Hearst and CBS is also in the market in Baltimore.

Yeah, but the Sinclair corporate brain trust is in Baltimore. I'm thinking that she's staying local and she's going to a competitor; that's why the secrecy. I just threw the Sinclair thing out there because either Baltimore or Washington would be a good gig if they want to live out there. But then again, coaching in pro sports is the kind of job where you move around a lot so I can see staying in Columbus.

Because Sinclair is based in Baltimore, her husband works in Baltimore and Columbus has always been one of that company's most important stations.

Not that Baracy was a necessarily a big name - she kinda “lucked into” her role after the death of Chris Bradley followed shortly by the Mike Davis debacle. But seriously, who’s left? Jeff Booth left over the summer amid some mysterious circumstances. I’ve said this before, but WBNS is just SAD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttvn2000 255 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 In news that doesn’t exactly require it’s own thread, TEGNA appears to be investing in the desperately needed remodeling of the WTOL newsroom. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cmm_QZQjuh4/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Rollo Smokes 131 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 In case anyone is interested... Soo Kim will be interviewed on Roland Martin's streaming show Roland Martin Unfiltered tomorrow (1/3) and will be discussing his still-pending purchase of TEGNA.

MidwestTV 1064 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 He's trying realllll hard to get public sentiment on his side. Maybe it's a smart move. It's also risky. If he keeps going public and making big promises like this, he'll have to deliver or look like a lying a$$. But I doubt many CEO's care about that... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttvn2000 255 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) Not really noteworthy for its own thread in the “Sets” forum, but WBNS added a row of monitors (on wheels) behind the anchors for their “home base” shot. They also appear to have refreshed the anchor desk. A cheap way to refresh a set that debuted in October 2012…more than 10 years ago.

It's still a good looking set so I can't complain too much about them keeping it. I can't believe it's been 11 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myron Falwell 3894 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Unfortunately, Tegna is likely going to undergo major cutbacks and freezes regardless of what happens. Having a private equity buyout fail to this magnitude certainly doesn’t help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
