PelicanGuy 117 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Bombshell right, now that’s a surprise morning announcement from Sally. I was actually expecting it. I was wondering who would be first: Sally-Ann or Eric Paulsen? You know he's next (been at the station roughly the same time as Sally-Ann). Sheba Turk should take Sally-Ann's spot, but knowing management, it wouldn't surprise me to see Leslie Spoon get it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 1843 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Which brings up an interesting, yet disappointing IMO, observation, why is it that Buzzr is in Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, And Gainesville, but not Miami? Seriously? No Buzzr in a big city like Miami, while smaller cities get to enjoy it? Actually, Gainesville doesn't have it from WOGX. One of its subs carries ION Television.

Breaking News 802 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Speaking of Doerr, could CBS46 become 46 Action News? WSB had Action News since the 1970s nope nope nope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLETVFan 363 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 WSB had Action News since the 1970s nope nope nope. I should have clarifyed that when I wrote Action News, I should have asked if WGCL's news would become similar to WOIO when Doerr was running its news department. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRolyPoly 1843 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Starting the week of January 24th, 2018, the small DMA #200 market of Ottumwa, Iowa and Kirksville, Mo. will finally have all four major networks when KYOU will launch NBC on subchannel 15.2 This is what the market will have once KYOU has NBC: KTVO has ABC on 3.1 and CBS on 3.2 KYOU has FOX on 15.1 and will soon have NBC on 15.2 The market has PBS through digital translators from Iowa Public Television. It even has a CW cable-only affiliate from "KWOT" (The CW Plus) http://www.kyoutv.com/home/2018/01/08/kyou-nbc-release/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also worth mentioning that you can only get PBS on the Missouri side via cable which carries KCPT. The market sure has changed in the past 10 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlnews2 557 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 was watching WSB this afternoon for the snow coverage. Then they ended the newscast they ran a Cox Media Group ID with Scott Chaplin saying "WSB is a Cox Media Group station". Any other Cox stations doing this?

newsbot 269 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Too bad Cox doesn't really do anything creative with its corporate ID. Say what you will about Nexstar, but I'll argue all day that their ident is the best since the Gannett "Death Star." 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRolyPoly 1843 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Holy bleep. I can't believe I'm saying this but... PBS is back in Puerto Rico! For those who don't know, WMTJ Channel 40 was taken off air due to Hurricane Maria and went off-air forever. However, according to Wikipedia, on Wednesday, December 20th, WMTJ returned to the air via Liberty Puerto Rico (a cable provider there) and some of PBS' programming was seen on Channels 3 and 67 and in HD on channels 203 and 267. On Monday, January 2nd, just months after the supposed farewell to the station, WMTJ actually resumed regular over-the-air broadcasting operations via WSTE-DT (Teleisla) and can be seen on the same channel 40.1 from the transmitter located in Aguas Buenas. In other words, that transmitter is now home to both WSTE and WMTJ, even though they broadcast on different digital channels (WSTE is 7 and WMTJ is 16 but is moving to 15). So yes, PBS is back in Puerto Rico. Wonderful news for a country still reeling from Hurricane Maria. DISCLAIMER: I'm half Puerto Rican so I had to share this and this is wonderful news for public broadcasting. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
