It looks like KCTV as silently outed Chris Suchan as their chief meteorologist and replaced him with John Wetherbee. http://www.kctv5.com/story/5771715/john-wetherbee-chief-meteorologist The bio on the website seems to be a direct copy-paste of his old bio from WTOC. Suchan is still working for KCTV and his posting on his Facebook.

 

Really weird.

Jackie Fernandez and Somara Theodore have both been let go from WEWS in Cleveland.

Gotta love social media blunders... In other words, if you're on the clock and doing something you probably shouldn't be, don't be stupid and tweet about it...

Quite the overreaction. Just a hunch, but I'm guessing they were looking for a reason to get rid of them. Money, ratings, or ...

It's possible that ratings are a factor. WEWS seems to blow up "Good Morning Cleveland" every 12-18 months. If it weren't for WOIO/WUAB, they would be dead last.

It's not an overreaction to hold so-called 'Journalist" to the "Ethics" they claim to subscribe to...or to have studied and fully understood .

 

How about we give these Social Media Queens a basic test in Journalism and Ethics, instead of a piss / drug test as a condition of employment?

 

These idiots were fired for all the right reasons.

Live by Facebook...

Die by Facebook...

Wetherbee is the lead for Clear Weather Radio Stations in South Carolina/Gerogia. Amble is doing weekday Evenings but does not say Chief but has been one before and Suchan Weekends for the moment.

One tiny problem, John Wetherbee is still at WTOC/WFXG and there is no mention of him leaving WTOC at all.

WCVB is switching its early evening broadcast from 4:30pm to 4pm. Inside Edition will take the 4:30pm slot. This goes in effect one week from Wednesday (8/9).

 

Prior to that date, it will have a special hourly 4pm broadcasts on Monday and on Election Day Tuesday.

I can't imagine IE being long for Channel 5; I bet they want a solid news block from 4P to 6:30P but are precluded from doing so for now.

I wouldn't be shocked if it happens in the future. Either one (or both) of those syndie shows (Steve Harvey & Ellen Degeneres) could end up being on NBC Boston in the Fall of next year. The Ellen deal for the non-NBC-owned stations are due at the end of this season.

 

Should both shows go next year, and if the Barrymore thing sticks (place it on Steve's timeslot between Live & The View), they would've really have to get rid of IE (if it's placed somewhere on the 3pm hour).

Imagine he goes back to KTTV to do the news with Christine Devine once again. Probably won't happen but one can imagine.

WEWS' new logo is so bad....I'm still seeing the old one EVERYWHERE!!

 

Mic flags, break slates, reporter jackets...even their Roku app still has it and is STILL called NewsChannel 5!

 

It's like they're not even trying...

Took them long enough for them to put the lottery ball logo on their iOS app.

 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

TVSpy still has it up for their story of Jackie Fernandez and Somara Theodore (on their main feed).

Sooner or later, they're going to realize that virtually NO ONE is accepting this abomination of a logo!

 

I'm sure the folks at WEWS are working REALLY HARD to make sure the RIGHT LOGO is being used! ;) ;)
