ttvn2000 318 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Payton Domschke is leaving WKYC after two years. Looking at her Instagram follows as of late, I’m speculating she’s headed to WPVI. (But I could be wrong!) https://www.facebook.com/share/Jqtg8pakNNSL7Tr4/?mibextid=WC7FNe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3442 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) Imagine this...a Sinclair station adding a morning newscast, replacing TND! https://triblive.com/aande/movies-tv/tv-talk-morning-local-newscast-launches-on-wpgh-tv-next-week-fox-readies-grimsburg/ (spoiler alert: It's WPGH and it's produced by WPXI. Still, surprised that WPGH is playing along!) Most likely, WPXI wants to keep up with KDKA and WPKD. I'm sure Cox would gladly snatch up WPGH if they could Edited January 3 by tyrannical bastard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least WPXI is local. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axiom81 66 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) WISC-TV is apparently undergoing some changes. Chief Meteorologist Gary Cannalte is retiring at the end of February after 33 Years. (Alex Harrington will take over as Chief Meteorologist in March) Noon and 4pm Anchor Mark Koehn is "retiring" after 46 years (last day is Jan 12th) ( special note that this was not entirely his decision based off his post and On-Air announcement) .

T.L. Hughes 746 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) Breezeline (the U.S. unit of Canadian pay-TV provider Cogeco) has dropped WBOC from its eastern Maryland systems. According to both Breezeline and WBOC parent Draper Holdings, the removal resulted from it being considered an out-of-market station in the communities serviced by the provider (including towns like Grasonville, Kent Island, Chestertown, Centreville, Queenstown, Rock Hall, Church Hill, St. Michaels and Chesapeake City, MD), which are considered part of the Baltimore DMA. (As such, this isn't being put in the retrans dispute thread, since this doesn't qualify.) This may suggest Paramount/CBS and Sinclair had requested Breezeline pull WBOC's main CBS channel and Fox subchannel in favor of giving WJZ and WBFF exclusivity in those areas.

May have been isolated to Sinclair. WPMI aired a 7pm CT newscast and WTOV aired one at 8 ET, pre-empting the special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleachian 128 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Regarding WBOC being dropped: Breezeline says it’s about not wanting to pay two affiliates. https://policyband.com/blog/spokesman--breezeline-dropped-cbs-affiliate-wboc-to-manage-costs Significantly Viewed does still exist but this is the reason most providers are dropping duplicate affiliates. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcalTVfan 6 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Here we go ... KRCR ... Northern California's legacy snoozefest ... now has three solo anchors for their evening newscasts. Glenn Cassie has been added there. So, one anchor from 5-6 that retires every few years and then comes back, one from 6:30-7, and then one that does 7/10/11. Either they're prepping for a third retirement for the 5 anchor or they have money to spend. A better idea would be to pair up and have traditional two anchor newscasts because the 6:30 person is very green. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottSchell 268 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) I know this person wasn’t an on air talent but former KJRH Vice President and General Manager Amy Calvert has been hired by Sinclair as Vice President and GM of KOKH-TV in OKC hopefully she can help make the newscasts better for both KTUL and KOKH.

The only way they can make the newscasts better is by having each station serve their respective markets, not this consolidated nonsense. 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
