NEOMatrix 1295 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 As WUAB drops 7am and 9pm news, at least WOIO has expanded their weekend 11pm news to a full hour, the only station in the Cleveland market to do so. It's been off and on for years, dating back to the Action News era. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihEARDtHAT 8 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Jodi Kodesh out at KNSD NBC-7 San Diego. This was posted on her Facebook page: "Hey friends! So many of you have been asking where I've been. It took a little bit of time for me to write this. I recently learned that NBC was not going to be renewing my contract. It was my last day on air. It did come as a shock to me, and no, nothing happened. They just decided to go in a different direction. You all know how much I loved my job, but I really do believe that everything happens for a reason. I have nothing but love for them, and the opportunities they gave me. If I've learned anything, it's that I have an amazing husband, and two little boys who love having me home. And, being able to sleep in is incredible. 14 years of waking up at 2 a.m. is a long time. The good news is, I will always be a meteorologist, and one of my favorite parts of my job, was interacting on Facebook. I love forecasting for San Diego, I love making videos about the weather, and I plan to do even more of that now, because I'm more rested So I hope you will continue to follow along. I'll have exciting things to talk about in the future " https://www.facebook.com/pg/jodikodesh/posts/?ref=page_internal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.L. Hughes 746 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Weigel is launching yet another multicast network: Start TV will debut September 3 on Weigel- and CBS-owned stations (with many of the CBS-owned affiliates carrying the network on subchannel slots currently occupied by sister-network-to-be Decades, though Weigel appears to be moving Decades to its own stations in markets such as Los Angeles and Chicago). The network will focus on police and detective procedural programs with strong female leads (such as The Closer, Medium, The Good Wife, Crossing Jordan, Cold Case, Profiler and [early 2000s Lifetime series] The Division). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asomrjsurf 6 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 No KC or Orlando CBS or Weigel station but both have a Hearst station. Their's 2 other shows on CBS that it could show like Unfrogettable and the Marry Steenburgen one. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how far into other markets Start TV will get, especially those with little to no room for more diginets, and/or those affected by repacking.

TVIntheDesert 183 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I wonder how far into other markets Start TV will get, especially those with little to no room for more diginets, and/or those affected by repacking. The initial press release shows stations owned by Bahakel Communications (WCCB, WOLO, WAKA/WBMM) adding them at the start (pun intended). My question is whether or not they'll pull Antenna TV from WCCB, which would make them the second Charlotte station to drop that diginet (when you look at it, dropping QVC is the logical choice from a viewer's point of view, but that's a guaranteed revenue stream for the station--and also WOLO).

TheRolyPoly 1843 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 The short version is... don't sext at work. Otherwise, there's a good chance you'll be out. Look at KFOR's Lance West for example. Out after 23 years. https://www.thelostogle.com/2018/07/18/lance-west-resigns-from-kfor-over-sexting-controversy/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyNewsArchive 197 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Longtime WISN 12 reporter Colleen Henry is retiring after 25 years at the station. Her last day is Friday. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=862660257253834 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrschimpf 2050 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 A little more on Colleen Henry from the Journal Sentinel (no painful Gannett autoplay on this one); her husband beat some pretty aggressive cancer and they're off for well-earned relaxation in Puerto Vallarta. Her loss is big for WISN, but they have so many veterans and prime talent there that will take the baton in her absence and honor. ETA - Even as she got a salute at the end of the 6pm show, she was still working a story in the top of the show about kids abandoned in a car at a local casino, doorknocking and confrontation of the kid's mom and all. Gotta have massive respect for still putting in good work on the last day!
