As for Tom Haynes, he could relinquish the 5:00 and still do News Edge with Stephany (when she joins, but nothing is made official without Mike McClain's declaration).

 

Meanwhile, over at "Station X"...http://www.wsbtv.com/news/news/local/wsb-tv-names-misti-turnbull-news-director/nn2SJ/

 

Me personally I feel they could do a anchor shuffle over at WAGA. Isn't FOX Sports South at WAGA? Send Ron Gant over there. I know he a popular former Braves player. Send him over to FOX Sports South, and move Tom Haynes the Good Day and have Stephany/Cynne at 5pm, Lisa/Russ at 6, Cynne/ Russ at 10, Stephany solo at 11pm.

Huge news indeed. Another change of the guard from the days when he and Colleen Marshall inherited the anchor slots from Doug Adair and Angela Pace.

At least Jym Ganahl is staying put since he's been at the station since 1979.

 

I wonder if Mike Jackson would move back to nightside. Having him on the morning shift may be an advantage since they lead into the "Today" show and WBNS no longer extends into the 7am hour...

Major news out of Columbus tonight, Longtime WCMH Anchor, Cabot Rea has announced this evening that he'll be retiring from NBC 4 in December.

 

 

If the MG deal with Nexstar goes through Colleen will soon follow and Jym contract up in 2017. It will be an end of an era for Newswatch 4, News 4: The News Channel, NewsChannel 4, NBC4.

WIS Chief Meteorologist John Farley's contract wasn't renewed, yesterday was his last day. They chose a really bad time to do this considering all of the floods they've had recently.

Brien McElhatten is back on ABC station WPTA/Ft. Wayne, this time as the new evening anchor along side Melissa Lone who is retiring on Dec. 17.

Richard Roeper, who was one half of the famouse movie duo Ebert & Roeper is joining Chicago's FOX 32 (WFLD) as host of Good Day Chicago. He'll work

the 6-10am shift with Corey McPherrin and Darlene Hill. Roeper expect to start sometime this week, though he won't be on the air until late October.

And on a sad note, The Charlotte TV community is mourning the loss of longtime WSOC-TV anchor Doug Mayes. Mayes passed away in his sleep this

morning at the age of 93. TVNewsTalk would like to take this time to offer our condolences to the family of Doug Mayes and his extended family of WSOC-TV

and 9 Eyewitness News. We'll miss you Doug and Godspeed.

In a new episode of As The Chopper Turns...KFMB's Chopper 8 has been out of commission for several weeks now (again), replaced by a rented A-Star from Welk Aviation in L.A. Looking around the net, it seems like the regular chopper is being upgraded, for what I don't know. Seems like the traffic reporters are enjoying the A-Star much more.

WVUE announced last night on the 10 pm newscast that former WWL and WFOR meteorologist David Bernard will join the station next month. No word yet on what shift he will do.

Looks like Chris Franklin's contract wasn't renewed and its reported his last day is November 20. If this is true then David will be the weekday morning meteorologist.

 

My apologies if this was already replied to. I didn't see a reply.

DFW news viewers have to say farewell to yet another longtime fixture, as Byron Harris, WFAA reporter for going on 41 years, is calling it a day. The linkie in the previous post (my phone was acting stupid and wouldn't let me do this text part after the link was typed) gives no last-air date or out-the-door date for Harris.

Big news in Boston...

 

http://www.tvnewscheck.com/article/89448/wcvb-adding-two-weeknight-newscasts

 

WCVB is adding 4:30pm and 7pm newscasts to its lineup beginning January 11. The move shifts Ellen to 3pm, Inside Edition to 4pm and Meredith to the late night ghetto at 1:05am.

 

Don't be surprised that the terrible ratings of The Meredith Vieira Show will make stations start airing more local newscasts. WPBF 25 (WCVB 5's sister station in Palm Beach) has already done so by adding a 9:00 a.m. hour-long weekday newscast weeks ago while pushing Meredith to 1:05 a.m. and now, it looks like WCVB 5 is doing the same.

I wonder if the NBC O&Os will do the same.
