tyrannical bastard 3442 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 With FOUR 9pm newscasts in the Mobile-Pensacola market, you figure how long that would last..... Well, the first shoe to drop is the WPMI-produced 9pm show on their sister station, WJTC UTV 44. The final show airs tonight, and beginning on Monday, will move to a half-hour show at 7pm.

Sinclair probably didn't want one 9pm newscast competing against another 9pm newscast on their sister station, that being WEAR's 9pm newscast on WFGX, which does much, much better in the ratings being the only Pensacola-focused 9pm newscast in the market.

tyrannical bastard 3442 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 *cough* WKRG's 9pm news on WFNA is Pensacola-based too *cough* Actually, since WKRG revamped their newscasts about a month ago, the WFNA 9pm show is now just another WKRG newscast and doesn't focus on Pensacola like they used to....as a whole, WKRG has stepped up their coverage of the Florida counties to Destin and has come to rely heavily on their sister stations to cover the fringes of each other's markets...

TriangleTriadMediaNews 267 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I don't know where FIOS gets their guide info, but wherever they get it from still thinks James Adams and Mary-Alice Salinas still anchor WRC's 6pm Saturday show and also that Barbara Harrison & Joe Krebs do the 11. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skbl17 188 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Not necessarily news-related, but TVNewsCheck reports that WAGA will launch a new half-hour entertainment show called The Georgia Scene starting July 20. The show will run for a 8-week period as a "summer preview show". Hosted by Good Day Atlanta’s Alyse Eady, Sharon Lawson and Paul Milliken, this program is designed to “connect viewers with all of the biggest productions in the state,” WAGA says, since Georgia has become one of the top locations for filming, with recent movies like Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War as well as ongoing series, specifically, Stranger Things, The Walking Dead and Fox’s Star and The Resident.

No. That's an NBC branded thing, most of the NBC Sports Regional Networks people have to have their Twitter handles start or end with "NBCS" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he does have 100% control though. His posts are all 100% him, nothing seems to be corporate bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1675 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 At least the guy got to pen a nice goodbye post. Does he control that twitter ID or is that an NBC branded thing? He should be able to change it. Very rarely I’ve seen people “surrender” their accounts when leaving or starting a new job. The only issue is when you change your name where I believe you have to be re-verified. It’s a way fans will be able to connect with him and new viewers to see his past work. In a sense I wish they wouldn’t insist on branded accounts maybe generic one with news or tv at the end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason Lindsay's back is because their sports anchor Sherree Burruss just got married over the weekend. It is on her twitter https://twitter.com/SherreeBurruss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
