JoseRM303 169 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Now the real question is does Mike Marza keep going by Marza? Or does he revert back to Mike Marusarz which is his actual last name and which is what I believe he went by when he was still in Kansas City. He only switched to Marza after getting the gig in Miami. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3443 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 It looks like sports isn't completely going away at WXIA....after checking Gannett's jobs page, WXIA is hiring a "Sports Multimedia Journalist." It is indicative of trends of making sports just another beat, but a puzzling move for a station in a place like Atlanta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, isn't Jeff Hullinger anchoring sports at 6 & 11PM on 11Alive in addition anchoring the 10PM News on WATL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Jeff been doing double duty news & sports on 11 & WATL. It would be ironic if she joined Fred over onto WGCL since she did used to work there 20 years ago. I was wondering if she would jump ship back to 46 since she did work there, but in what capcity? Stephany & Co are trying to give 46 some identity. Let see how this will play out.

TVNewsLover 727 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 WRC debuted a "new" "News 4 Midday" today (at least that's what they're referring to it as on social media). It seemed like Aaron Gilchrist and Barbara Harrison rotated standing at the video wall doing the news from commercial break to commercial break, with Angie Goff rotating reading news from the LiveDesk in the newsroom along with them. I wonder if Aaron and Angie are permanent, or it they will rotate along with Richard Jordan and Eun Yang. It was kind of a bit dizzying to watch. I guess it's their attempt to make it more fluffy and less newsy. I wonder if this is part of bigger change-ups to come. If I recall correctly, I believe Jim Vance has said he'll semi-retire this year by stepping off the 11pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Lawrence, Shomari Stone, or Aaron Gilchrist? Some heavy hitters who would want the top job by a D.C. icon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some heavy hitters who would want the top job by a D.C. icon? I think there will be some shuffling. My bet would be on Chris Lawrence getting the 11pm. Once Jim Vance retires for good, I could see Jim Handly switching the 5pm for the 6pm, and Chris Lawrence picking up the 5pm. At that point, I think it would also make sense to shorten the 6pm to a half hour. Just my thoughts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PelicanGuy 117 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Shreveport native Leslie Spoon joins the WWL TV sports department, coming to the station from WFRV Green Bay. She will cover LSU and the Saints as well as anchor "Fourth Down Friday", the Friday and Saturday sportscasts and host "Inside Tulane Football With Curtis Johnson". She starts Friday.

TheRolyPoly 1844 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 ... At that point, I think it would also make sense to shorten the 6pm to a half hour. Just my thoughts! Why if they already air NBC Nightly News at 7:00 p.m. ? Plus, the other pre-emption they have is Days of our Lives at 12:00 Noon, instead of 1:00 p.m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think Chris Lawrence as well too, because I just don't seem him sitting on the weekends forever, but I don't think WRC would cut that 6pm from an hour to thirty minutes; that bread and butter for NBC. Just like Cox's mothership WSB will always keep that 6pm news an hour in house and have network at 7pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KTXD 47 has never been good in terms of local programming. if they seriously wanna be good, then a full (and traditional, unlike how WJZY started) news department would be in order.

Didn't their parent just sell all their stations sans KTXD and KCEB? Makes you wonder if they spent all $215mil of that Gannett money... I wonder if Gannett would want to come in and scoop up London completely and let operated TXD as a duop with WFAA... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sound like they are in 3rd place since barely anybody watches WFOR. I guess its WSVN at #1 vs. WPLG at #2 for local news ratings in my home market.

I don't think it's a surprise, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
