Samantha 2876 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 The forecast isn't good for WPSD meteorologist Tori Shaw-Smoyer, who has been arrested for running a pot-growing operation at her home. Her contract was to expire at the end of the month and not be renewed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her contract was to expire at the end of the month and not be renewed. This is awesome. From being a meteorologist, to being pushed out her door at WPSD, to now running a pot-growing operation and now... going to jail and possibly not get a job as a TV meteorologist ever again with this arrest and accusation. Isn't the TV news business, great? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike91 66 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 What does that have anything to do with the Out and About Section? I'm pretty sure he was (sarcastically) responding to the post about the WPSD meteorologist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting they are having the primary evening team anchor the new show rather then the 4 pm team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWA_TV_guy 148 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 If by "sad" you mean "a little disappointing", and by "breaking news" you mean "happened a week ago", then yes, that's some "Sad Breaking News".

She has been a fixture there for almost 3 decades (I thought she was there longer) and this retirement is well deserved. Coincidence with the date of the retirement, I hope this is a joke (but probably isn't). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her name then was Paula Dillworth. She still didn't out last Dave Burbon and Rikki Cheeze. She knows that once you cut the Chopper...wardrobe/hair is next to be cut...

Watch many people will leave once Nexstar takes on Media General Stations. A mass exodus of people will leave or be force... Good Luck, to those employees.

TheRob 919 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 KCTV has plucked weekend anchor Joe Chiodo from WOWT to be a 4:00 p.m. co-anchor/reporter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrabbleship 427 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Competing with WCVB, Sunbeam's WHDH will launch a new 7pm newscast on March 7th. This move is also in response to NBC announcing that the Access Hollywood/Extra pair will move to "their station" effective the start of next year. Whatever show gets the shaft will probably get some fringe slot on WLVI for the time being. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1173 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Looks like Little Rock's KATV will be moving to a new building sometime in 3 years. Their current building will eventually be demolished and replaced by some type of medical facility. http://www.arkansasbusiness.com/article/109650/tech-park-talks-timeline-with-katv-mary-good-resigns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasTVNews 1366 Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 The main anchor who replaced Mike Barajas in 2011 is out. Former CBS & NBC News correspondent Don Teague is no longer at Houston's KRIV FOX 26. Melinda Spulding who also anchors the 5 & 9PM Newscasts will anchor solo until the station finds a replacement. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/don-teague-out-at-kriv/164229 http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/2/18/anchor-bounced-at-fox-oo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdmedia619 1 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 KCTV has plucked weekend anchor Joe Chiodo from WOWT to be a 4:00 p.m. co-anchor/reporter. FINALLY!!! Watching Carolyn Long anchoring solo can be dreadful and it took them years to make this decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOMatrix 1295 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Competing with WCVB, Sunbeam's WHDH will launch a new 7pm newscast on March 7th. Ansin said he was going to invest in more news and he meant it. I wonder if WFXT will do a 7pm to compete. WBZ obviously can't do it due to having WoF and J!

NEOMatrix 1295 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Umm... "The 7:00 O'Clock News on My (or CW) 38" ? That could be a possibility. More like "WBZ News at 8 on 38 the CW" once WHDH gets a 10pm news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 1843 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 More like "WBZ News at 8 on 38 the CW" once WHDH gets a 10pm news. Nope. If WSBK does CW, there's no chance of CW delaying programming because of CBS owning 50% of CW. They have the chance now to do 8pm news under MyTV, but now they won't and once it gets CW, it can add 7pm news to its already daily 10pm news offering (which btw is last in the Boston TV news race at 10pm - compared to WLVI, WFXT, WMUR and WBIN) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that CBS can make an exception and allow WSBK to experiment with a 9-11pm slot for the CW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
