Mrtraveler01 737 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 WOIO ND Dan Salamone is OUT. Apparently his last day will be Friday. Adds a lot of validity to the rumors that they're about to dump their long-running "Action News" brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVNewsLover 714 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Any bets on him showing up at another station? My bet is on WUSA. How about one of DC's news icons on DC's #1 station for news? 11am co-anchor on WRC with Barbara Harrison? But they have too many anchors as it is!

tyrannical bastard 3410 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Adds a lot of validity to the rumors that they're about to dump their long-running "Action News" brand. FTVlive agrees..... http://ftvlive.com/todays-news/2015/1/6/cleveland-station-taking-the-action-out-of-action-news It would solve the identity crisis by unifying WOIO under the CBS 19 brand, but it's been done before, and failed. Action News has run its course, but the last thing we need is another news organization that thrives on the endless glut of social media and the web...

TexasTVNews 1365 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 First, if CBS 19 drops the "Action News" brand, they can re-brand as CBS19 News or 19 Eyewitness News. Anyway, WISH- TV8 Investigator Reporter/Anchor Karen Hensel is gone from from the new CW affiliate. Her bio from the stations site is gone. http://ftvlive.com/todays-news/2015/1/6/out-the-door-in-indianapolis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannical bastard 3410 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 First, if CBS 19 drops the "Action News" brand, they can re-brand as CBS19 News or 19 Eyewitness News. Cleveland is one of those markets where the slogans have re-appeared on other stations over the years. KYW (now WKYC) was the originator of Eyewitness News. It later lasted for almost 3 decades on WEWS from the 60s until 1990. Action News was WKYC's brand from the late 70s until 1983-1984, when they adopted their longtime moniker "Channel 3 News" which is still in place today. And "CBS 19" was the official station brand from 1996-2000. It replaced the inaugural "19 News" and "Cleveland Television News" monikers for their co-ownership with WUAB. It only re-appeared as the non-news brand when "Action News" was launched under Bill Applegate & Company... And if they really want to succeed, they'll choose the "Hometeam 19" branding. :bang: :bang: This was all Raycom's doing; as soon as WUAB lost the Indians in 2001, the branding was slowly eliminated until the great purge of 2002....

Samantha 2873 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 ¡Noticiero interrumpido! Our KTAZ live reporter gets interrupted by two people, one in a yellow jacket, and the anchor somehow gets out of the jam. Apparently this happened last night.

Ntropolis 593 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Ava Hurdle is retiring after 37 years with WAVY-TV. Her last report was tonight. http://wavy.com/2015/01/07/ava-hurdle-retires-after-37-at-wavy-news/ Correct me if I'm wrong, but she's the second-longest-serving reporter in the Hampton Roads market, only surpassed by Nate Custer at WTKR (1966-2005).

I would think she'd have to be behind Custer in terms of local longevity (with Bruce Rader not far behind). Hope she enjoys her retirement. Also, WVEC's Karen Hopkins is leaving to become Public Information Director for the Norfolk Sheriff's Department http://veermag.com/2015/01/wvecs-karen-hopkins-resigns/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2873 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Cordillera and DirecTV have been in a retrans dispute since January 1, and that's got new Montana Senator Steve Daines pretty steamed. He's publicly called for DirecTV and Cordillera to make good by Sunday so DirecTV viewers in Montana can see CBS — and the NFL playoffs — again.

24994J 5262 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 In what just might be a first anywhere, WTTW 11 Chicago (PBS) has sold the naming rights to...their anchorman. Phil Ponce, host of 'Chicago Tonight' will now be known as The Alexandra and John Nichols Chief Correspondent and Host. The Nichols have been longtime trustees of WTTW and parent company Window to the World Communications, Inc. No word, though, on how much this lousy money grab will bring in for the station.
