[MEDIA=twitter]659146131256037376[/MEDIA] Didn't see that one coming, although the writing was on the wall that he was probably going to be leaving WHBQ soon when they moved Joey Sulipeck back to weekday evenings and Brittani Dubose to weekday mornings.

Yeah. He made his debut after game 2 of the World Series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasTVNews 1366 Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Jeff Vaughn of WXYZ if joining LA's KCBS/KCAL at the end of November. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/kcbs-kcal-adds-anchor-from-detroit/157856 UPDATE: Our friends at FTVLive is saying that Jeff will primarily serve as the main anchor on KCAL 9's Weeknight newscasts, in addition Vaughn will contribute to other KCAL 9 / CBS 2 Newscasts. http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2015/10/30/motown-anchor-headed-to-the-left-coast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That article got some things wrong... Vaughn came to WXYZ from San Antonio. He had been there since 2007 when he left WDIV after a very short stint as their weekend anchor... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasTVNews 1366 Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Another anchor is on the move. Michelle Marsh of Raleigh-Durham's WRAL is joining Washington DC's WJLA ABC 7. Marsh will anchor the 4:00PM Newscast with Jonathan Elias and the 10:00PM News on NewsChannel 8 on 1/11/16. One note: Michelle's sister Rene works at CNN in DC. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/michelle-marsh-to-join-wjla-as-anchor/157899 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bammy99 25 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Speaking of DC, LiveWell is finally dead here. The subchannel was replaced by a sci-fi channel called "Comet," owned 50/50 by Sinclair and MGM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even without an 11pm newscast, that should ensure WJW's status as having the most local news output per week of any station in North America. (WJW even rebroadcasts the 10pm news TWICE - at 1am and 3am.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memnews 36 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Amy Speropoulos has jumped from morning reporter at WMC to "Local Memphis Live" host at WATN. This marks a return to anchoring for her and her third Memphis news station job.

TexasTVNews 1366 Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 And then they're are two CBS 11 Sports Anchors minus Guy Rawlings, because Rawlings is heading to Birmingham's WVTM to be the stations main anchor.

Mrtraveler01 737 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 The 4am weekday morning news trend is growing by the month... [MEDIA=twitter]659424582655483904[/MEDIA] https://changingnewscasts.wordpress.com/2015/11/01/kyou-adding-local-news-900-pm-tomorrow/ The bigger news (at least for me anyway since I lived in the market) is that in Market 200, there is now a competitor to the previous monopoly Sinclair-owned KTVO had on the Kirksville-Ottumwa market. Starting yesterday, American Spirit/Raycom-owned KYOU has a 7-minute long newscast at 9pm. Plans are to eventually expand it to a 30 minute long newscast in the next couple of weeks. I am trying to get more details but it looks like that a portion of it (at least the weather part) will be based out of Cincinnati's WXIX. The irony in all of this is that Raycom used to own their competitor KTVO until they sold it to Barrington back in 2006. Hence why KYOU is owned by American Spirit instead of Raycom itself. Here is the new logo. If it's the standard Raycom production quality, that will probably force Sinclair to finally bring Curves and the new graphics to KTVO. I never thought I'd see the day that KTVO would have a competitor but I guess with Iowa being such a political battleground state these days, a news operation in Iowa is too difficult to pass up.
