I'm honestly surprised, I know she's definitely a viewer favorite here in DC, going back to her days across town at WUSA. https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Angie-Goff-Says-Goodbye-to-News4_Washington-DC-502874451.html?_osource=SocialFlowTwt_DCBrand&fbclid=IwAR20wvwLO2nRBMEMWUjMc6FF6pFMYAsBx825V8j6Qmt91AMiuieA2YJkWSY Looks like she'll be moving across town again to FOX 5. I don't know where she would end up there, I'd imagine she would only want to leave WRC if she were up for a weekday anchor gig, much like Annie Yu leaving WTTG for WUSA. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2018/12/18/look-whos-crossing-the-street-in-dc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAVY 10 Fan 232 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 On 12/13/2018 at 2:36 PM, tyrannical bastard said: Very sad news indeed. Next to Dick Goddard, Don Webster was a fixture of WEWS, from hosting Upbeat, and even serving as the stations' general manager in the 1980s (when he ceded weather duties to Tom Tasslemyer). He returned to weather in 1989 and was the chief meteorologist for the next decade until his retirement. It's good to hear that Mark didn't disappear either...could he be going back to mornings? Huge loss for Cleveland television with Don's passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed it does not say that but the anchors both state that they are "celebrating Steve Fiorina as he move into the next chapter of his life" There are also posts from other 10News coworkers about his retirement.

They wrote the paperwork a couple of months ago. It takes time to get approval. I still think that Quincy will use KVOA as trade bait with Nexstar. I'm sure the Oakleys would love to enter Des Moines with the pending Tribune divestitures. Edited December 22, 2018 by TVIntheDesert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkolsen 1675 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Maybe I missed the post but I’m surprised @ColDayNews news didn’t mention it here or on discord. WCMH was evacuated Friday morning after someone called the assignment desk saying there were pipe bombs throughout the building. Nothing was found but they were evacuated and master control was fed from WDTN. Management ordered that there be no coverage in order to prevent copy cats https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2018/12/23/bomb-threat-at-columbus-station.

I’d always been curious as to NBC 4’s contingencies during a disaster. Some time ago, they could use the tech center abandoned in the late 90s when NBC started to hub their stations from 30 Rock, WTVJ, Burbank, and KXAS. Master for Media General’s NBC stations was located at NBC4 until the sale to Nexstar. I’m not sure if the hub is still open, after the sale to Nexstar... but it was constructed in 2006 while the station was still run out of the NBC hub. Who were the targets, and was the suspect nabbed? Station management made the right call not to break into programming or report on what has happened. This would also give the suspect the visibility he sought. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
