tyrannical bastard 3410 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Say hello to either Gannett, Scripps, Sinclair, or even Fox handing Angley a Brinks truck of cash! Raycom could even pull the old "failed station waiver" or even walk away from WUAB's license and make WBNX their second station. Then again, they ruined WUAB to begin with. It will be interesting to see if Sinclair follows through with WJW. This could be a power play to keep Tegna or Scripps from competing directly with them.

MidwestTV 1173 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 KSHB's chief met Gary Lezak formally came out. It was one of Kansas City's worst kept secrets. Still a very sincere post. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=2308536252505958 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eat News 4738 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Raycom could even pull the old "failed station waiver" or even walk away from WUAB's license and make WBNX their second station. Then again, they ruined WUAB to begin with. The "failed station waiver" for a company like Raycom is as bad as able bodied people parking in the blue zone . Spend some money now you got a tax break...and shore up some of this smaller run down stuff for these smaller and outlaying communities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Muck 4139 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Say hello to either Gannett, Scripps, Sinclair, or even Fox handing Angley a Brinks truck of cash! Would it be Angley who sells the station, or the creditors initiating the foreclosure? Because while Angley is 96 years old, I can’t see him selling WBNX unless he’s simply ordered to against his will. (To wit, he simply closed down the adjacent Cathedral Buffet after the initial harassment/abuse issues against him became public.) That station has been his lifeline in more ways than one.

I hope he signs the station over to his bed pan nurse, and it gets tied up in a sexy lurid probate court case.

tyrannical bastard 3410 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I fully expect the creditors to flip the station should they gain control. Every owner in the Cleveland market is in "buy" mode and aside from WJW and maybe WOIO and "WUAB", this station is the perfect opportunity to expand their news product on to....and why WJW would want to buy them to keep that from happening. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya know, had this all come down in the early 1980s, Ernest could have gotten a job as an auto mechanic to make ends meet. Edit: I think I found an advance copy for the final "90 and 9 Club!"

Info Junkie 1285 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Out here in Albany, WNYT’s morning anchor Phil Bayly retired after a 42-year career, 31 years at the station, as well as 15 years anchoring mornings. I grew up watching Phil and even visited him in the newsroom once. He will surely be missed.

Most of their old guard is reaching retirement age and their bench is a bit thin. For a station that is the epitome of stable, it will be interesting to see how they proceed. Come to think of it, this is the first time WNYT has dealt with an actual, planned retirement ever. Ed Dague had health reasons and a six-month saga full of drama, Bob McNamara had his hissy fit over bowling scores and resigned, Hubbard cuts ended Capital Region Backroads and Steve Scoville's career. Sure, there were people who left for bigger things (Chris Kapostasy/Jansing the biggest) or went to the next realm (Norm Sebastian), but this new ground will soon become familiar ground. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRolyPoly 1839 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Only two public television stations that I can think of offer 24-hour weather coverage. KTCA is one of them and since September, they've rebranded their 24-hour weather channel as "TPT NOW" and if you ask me... the new look is really good.

rkolsen 1675 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Not worth a thread but here’s WBAL’s 70th logo. They’re running a promo of their news and event coverage filled with archive photos and logos. They were founded on May 1946 and signed on March 11, 1948. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(screengrab from tpt.org) MPTV/Milwaukee really needs to license this system. They're still on the Accuweather platform that's aged horribly as time has gone on. TCT has always done an incredible job with their weather coverage, be it as a part-day KTCI service or as a full-scale channel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tw-804 190 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 WWBT's Colleen Quigley will join WRAL in Raleigh next month as a reporter according to VARTV... WBOY's (North-Central West Virginia) Natalie Kalibat has joined sister station WRIC as the sports anchor. Speaking of WRIC, sports director Mitch Carr has left the station. [MEDIA=twitter]946030290232856576[/MEDIA] We have more sad news: Remember WNKY's popular Radar the Weather Dog? Sadly, the four-legged television personality passed away (or as we pet owners say, crossed the rainbow bridge) a couple days ago. He was 16. The Border Collie was introduced to South-Central Kentucky viewers back in 2005 after he was rescued by the local shelter and the rest was history. My condolences go out to the folks at WNKY in Bowling Green. http://www.wnky.com/story/37140670/in-memory-radar-the-weather-dog [MEDIA=twitter]945667844469149696[/MEDIA] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
