I don't know if this was the right place to bring this up or not but...

 

WUFT out of Gainesville from the University of Florida (DISCLAIMER: I currently attend the university as a Telecom student wanting to possibly get into Journalism or become a broadcaster of some sort) has launched a new podcast called Broadcast Bits, which takes a look at the changing landscape in the local television news industry.

 

The first episode talks about the Independent News Network from Arkansas which produces local news for various markets across the country.

 

The second episode talks about the "all about Me TV" pinnacle that's happening within the local TV industry and yes, Scott Jones from FTVLive is interviewed on this episode.

 

The short weekly podcast is hosted by Harrison Hove, former anchor at WCMH-TV 4 (NBC) in Columbus, Ohio, who is now U.F. College of Journalism and Communications' News Manager for the Innovation NewsCenter (the nickname for the WUFT-TV-FM Newsroom).

KJRH will be getting competition at 11am. KTUL will be launching a midday newscast at 11am starting Monday, replacing Rachael Ray. This means all 4 Tulsa news stations will have midday shows, with KOTV and KOKI competing at noon.

It's about time! Half-hour or a full hour? The other three are an hour-long.

That would leave Charlotte, Houston, New York, LA and Orlando, no?

 

Despite Fox doing everything it can to kill WWOR and KCOP, they are both VHF long time stations and can't see them caryring the Fox 5 or Fox 11 branding. They may just drop the My part those markets. Fox has already made the decision to no longer broadcast news on WWOR (sorry, Chasing Sh!t doesn't count). So the strategy used elsewhere is already irrelevant.
