MediaZone4K 1509 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, ATLNEWS46 said: Ron and Jennifer don't do the WATL Shows, Jeff Hullinger who got relegated to weekends this year still does the primetime news block which is TAPED at 7:00 and repeated at 8:00, 8:30, 9:00 and 9:30 with a Live 10:00 p.m. newscast. Maybe Faith and Johnathan will end up taking part of the primetime news block as well Ahh thanks for the clarification. I did see Ron and Jennifer and sometimes Jeff so I was confused as to whether Jeff was the substitute or the main. That's good that they're taped instead of live newscasts from 8-11pm.

mrschimpf 2051 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 The inevitable has happened; RNN Associates, which turned several major market stations into zombies carrying ShopHQ programming, has purchased ShopHQ's parent company out of (duh) Chapter 11 bankruptcy. They're probably going to keep their viewer-hostile 'only appeal to 50+ers until they're in the grave' strategy going. Great job, FCC; your spectrum auction turned a broadcaster into a shopping network-owning literal waste of electricity for a channel that should've died decades ago but hangs on because of must-carry. Really great for that 'diversity of voices' thing you used to judge licensees on in the old days. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannical bastard 3442 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 It could be worse, like a religious network masquerading as a news network....or vice versa.... But maybe it's time to revisit the must-carry rules, since 99.9% of the stations that opt for them are worthless garbage programming of little benefit to the local viewer.... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 743 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) KTXL Chief Meteorologist Kristina Werner is no longer at the station. By the sound of her tweet, it wasn't her choice. She was given no on-air goodbye (She was there 23+ years). Adam Epstein is now the new chief.

Good luck in your future endeavors. Meanwhile, at KIMA Yakima, Jake Taylor is leaving after 6 years at the station. He was our main anchor after Scott Stovall moved down to KEPR. Jake is moving back home, he said (I think he's from Utah). The replacement? A British-accented man. John Kennedy O'Connor, previously of KIEM Eureka and has done tons of work in Europe, especially for the Eurovision Song Contest. Lots of contributions to BBC/Channel 5/Sky News. Congrats John!

VHSgoodiesWA 281 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I was plenty shocked when I first heard him talk. I expected a young anchor out of college or a Latino anchor given the demographics of our area (we just passed 50% Hispanic/Latino in the last census). I bet he has plenty of stories to share from his days of covering Eurovision and his time growing up in England. *Has there ever been another British lead anchor in a US local news department before? I know we had Jenni Hogan who did traffic in Seattle, mostly KIRO, for a few years, and she's from Australia or New Zealand...and I know KTVV Austin had Anne Fulwood in the 1980s, also from Australia.* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannical bastard 3442 Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Former longtime WALA chief meteorologist John Edd Thompson was attacked at a gas station this past Tuesday. https://www.fox10tv.com/2023/07/28/retired-fox10-chief-meteorologist-john-edd-thompson-attacked-81st-birthday/ Thankfully, he is ok. Why someone would do this to an 81 year old man, even one that is considered legendary in the Mobile area is absolutely sickening. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She wanted to do more weather forecasting, not live in the field reports. The station pushed her on the latter very hard and thus is why she is getting out. I've never seen her in the studio during severe weather coverage, only in the field. She's a meteorologist but the way she worked and was treated, it didn't feel like it at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodfreyGR 493 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) Hutch Johnson is out as Chief Met at KVLY/Fargo after 16 years. All comes after Gray posted for his job Apperantly much to his surprise. Lots of rumor locally about what really happened Edit: The job is still posted on Gray's website. Weird they're getting rid of the (arguably) most recognizable face and name the station has with seemingly no replacement plan...
