On Monday, February 24th, WTKR's "First at 4" is getting some competition. WAVY will debut its 4pm newscast.

I was wondering when they'd step up to the plate and do this. Supposedly 3 blows everyone else out of the water ratings-wise at 4. Then again, they say they blow everyone else out of the water everywhere else, too.

BREAKING NEWS: Gloria Campos is retiring from WFAA in 2 1/2 weeks. Gloria mad the announcement on her twitter site.

 

"It's OFFICIAL!! Retiring from News 8 Fri March 7th! Stay tuned for more exciting announcements! 10pm 3/7/2014 will be my last newscast. "

 

Gloria has been with WFAA for 30 amazing years and she will be dearly missed.

Only thing I have to go on right now is hearing a promo during WGNT's airing of Judge Judy; but it appears WTKR is bringing Les Smith back to anchor NewsChannel 3 at 5:00 alongside Barbara Ciara (the ad making a reference to their time together at WAVY).

 

Glad to hear Les is back at the desk. I've heard many good things about him.

Remember I told you last night about Gloria Campos retiring from WFAA, well we now know who will succeed Gloria's seat. Courtesy of friends at TVspy WFAA made it official that News 8 Daybreak

and rotating midday anchor Cynthia Izaguirre will take the helm at 5 & 10pm starting March 10th. Shelly Slater will now add the 4pm solo anchoring duties, she'll remain co-anchor of the 6pm

newscasts. and Jason Wheeler will be moved back to the weekend evening newscasts in the first weekend in March.

 

No official replacement named for co-anchor of News 8 Daybreak for now, will keep you posted.

Julie Tremmel, the WJAR reporter who became infamous after doing a news story about what you should do during a bear attack and doing a standup on both her hands, is filing a grievance against the station over what she believes is a wrongful termination.

 

There is a petition to bring her back to the station. Their goal is a 1000 signatures; they currently have 146.

WTAJ used the "WTAJ Drone" to showcase the aftermath from a traffic accident. The video wasn't that good. You can hardly make out anything.
