Scripps - General Discussion

[CircleSeven 1944]

At one point, when Tribune acquired This TV from Weigel, they would wait for the contract from a competing station in the market to expire. And then after that, it would be move it to the Tribune-owned station.

 

KIAH doesn't carry This TV because KPRC is carrying it. And KSL is carrying This TV, instead of KSTU.

 

So if the Lighthouse wants those diginets (the one that they don't have) on their air, they would likely have to wait until contracts expire.

Even more KJRH news.

 

Longtime sports director Al Jerkens is retiring Thursday after 34 years working in Brookside. They'll be running tributes all week.

This actually leaves Channel 2 with only one on-air sportscaster in Cayden McFarland.

While I've complained about FTVLive they do get some dirt.

 

For instance WRTV parked their livetruck to cover a funeral of a police officer one Friday at an arena and seemingly forgot about it until the arena called them the next Wednesday.

Well they kept that secret from the GM and ND for 5 days...

I'm sure there is a perfectly logical explanation.

I bet an intern is involved somewhere...somehow.

 

Now what would be really funny is if they found it with the windows down, and unlocked....

 

Even funnier....

Mast still up.

 

Ouch.

 

 

Ok......

still funnier.....

300 feet of coax still on the ground.

That's funny, but sad. I guarantee my city would have towed the truck within 12 hours.

 

Heck, not that long ago KCTV left a camera inside a box at a downtown location at night, and the bomb squad blew it up the next morning.

Ouchy! I hope it was the sports dept camera they blew up.

Scripps buys Bounce, Escape, Laff, and Grit

The deal was cleared by the DOJ today. Scripps is expected to close the Katz deal by October 2.

Looks like Scripps is giving their L3's a slight makeover??? This was from WCPO in Cincinnati.

[Action Newsroom 1149]

And yet they still scream CNN circa 2011.

Now with a touch of GMA circa 2015 update.

KNXV here in Phoenix has been doing this for months now...

[news89 467]

Lotteryball5 aka WEWS has had that L3 for little awhile. I also believe WKBW has had it for the same time period.

[ns8401 846]

It's part of the Original package... WXYZ has used this as its main L3 since 2012...

[Weeters 1805]

The fact that people run in here every couple months with "I THINK SCRIPPS IS CHANGING THEIR PACKAGE!!!!!" only to found out that other stations have been doing the same thing for months or years, is testament to how many options this package makes available to stations.

This doesn't explain why WMLW is still carrying This four years after Tribune took over. Did Tribune and Weigel just literally forget about its existence in Milwaukee and they keep forgetting to move it to WITI?

I wonder if it's the most versatile package out there?

Now I'm wondering whether KIAH in Houston would acquire This TV, since they're only a handful of Tribune stations that don't carry it along with WITI and WJW.

 

From KPRC's FCC ownership report, it looks like their carriage deal expires next month. Not sure if they've renewed it with the station or not.

The new Kellie Pickler and Ben Aaron talk show has a title - "Pickler and Ben" - and it will debut on September 18. Below is the link of affiliates carrying the program.

Well Dr. Oz is out on WXYZ...

KGTV's 10 News is now blocking the Ad Blockers...no easy X-through.

 

It's Gods way of protecting us from more fake news.

Just purely speculation from my part, but it seems like The NOW will be misplaced in San Diego. I just saw a promo for Dateline yesterday, which will be airing at 3PM. On their website, their inactive RightThisMinute page has a header saying the show airs at 4PM: http://www.10news.com/entertainment/right-this-minute

 

Wonder what's happening at KGTV.

Appears to be a mistake or old page. TV listings two weeks out show it still at 4. (http://www.10news.com/entertainment/tv-listings) And Dateline? On ABC? At 3pm? No....

They'll be airing the syndicated version of Dateline, since they've been showing promos for it for the last few weeks. It will be on at 3pm. So it seems like what tvtime07 posted is correct.

[Eat News 4738]

Ed Chapuis named ND for KGTV..

 

"Special Ed" replaces "The crazy cat lady".

Now let's see what he does about the weak reporting bench he will inherit.

[A3N 996]

So KGTV revised the programming listings and The Now will continue at 4pm. Right This Minute will move into the overnight hours between 1:40-2:30 am. Dateline will air at 3pm.

[CLETVFan 363]

Some cuts at WEWS, including what were mentioned as "retirements."
