Samantha 2873 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 That’s sad to hear especially the loss of technical positions. Were the positions specifically in the production unit or included possible automation for Un Nuevo Dia, Al Rojo Vivo and Noticiero Telemundo? I am not sure about bilingual actors I imagine native bilingual journalists could be a differentiator in a job application for dual language duopolies (which of course is NBC/Telemundo). I wonder if they are paid more? I’ve noticed some photogs in Chicago and Boston swap back and forth between WMAQ/WSNS and WBTS/WNEU. NBC has been sharing lately - I forget the woman’s name - and in their coverage of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. Also at the end of Telemundo’s superseries they have the Telemundo endcap along with Getty Hispanic. I can only find information about their stock / news images in Latin America. Could Getty be used just to set the scene? It looks like these were mostly non-news positions in production, really. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1675 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 It looks like these were mostly non-news positions in production, really. Probably been there forever. You said executive right? Sounds like EPs. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCB4TV 325 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 KTEN, DMA 160, has a posting for their Chief Meteorologist position. The reason I post this is because it appears that the successful candidate will be succeeding long time CM Alan Mitchell, who has been with the station since 1995. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrschimpf 2034 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Some Pittsburgh updates: Former WTAE personality Frank Cappelli has passed. http://www.pbrtv.com/in-memoriam-frank-cappelli/ Still remember Saturday mornings when WISN carried his show (and so did Nick Jr. before they decided marketing was better than educational value). Great guy with a big heart, and Pittsburgh had a deep tradition of great children's shows. He'll definitely be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dman748 1250 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Not yet, Mitchell is still on the air. So basically KTEN is hiring a Meteorologist who will ultimately suceed Mitchell as their Chief Meteorologist if I'm reading correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if a rebranding of WNCT is coming? Also by calling it CBS North Carolina, they would have had to get WFMY (at times rumored) and WBTV (not going to happen unless they make a trade for it) to complement it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tw-804 190 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Plus, WNCN got a brand-new set, too. I like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenShine9 1508 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Out of curiosity, how would that logo look with a 9 on WNCT? It is probably very workable by maintaining the font and rounding the 7 to a 9. It would look weird on some numbers, but the placement of the CBS eye would actually work well for WNCT too. It would look really awkward with a "round bottom" number like 3, 5, 6, 8 or 0 though, and even with a 1, 2 or 4 it wouldn't look as good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriangleTriadMediaNews 267 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I'm surprised they got a new set, the one they were on was only a few years old. IIRC, they debuted it about a year before the affiliation swap. They had a newsroom set before that that I really liked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBS North Carolina is gone at last!! I’m guessing new graphics too, also they finally dumped Canvas for CBS Local by SAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkolsen 1675 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Well this is a surprise. Adam May is leaving Baltimore to his hometown of Minneapolis for corporate communications and a better work schedule for him and his family. He rejoined Baltimore news in October 2016 after Al Jazeera America closed.
