tyrannical bastard 3257 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) WPMI NBC 15 was back in the studio this morning doing normal newscasts. It must have been a widespread quarantine for them to be having WEAR handle it for an entire week. For any exclusive times or for any "bumped" newscasts on WPMI they did produce separate ones, otherwise they were simulcast on WEAR during the times when both stations are doing news. I hate to say it, but watching these could be a glimpse of the future IF Sinclair ever decides to shut down the Mobile operation and do everything out of Pensacola. It sort of had that WSAZ vibe to it. Edited December 14, 2020 by tyrannical bastard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEAR is completely a Florida based TV station where WPMI focused mostly on Alabama. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEAR is completely a Florida based TV station where WPMI focused mostly on Alabama. Sadly, it seems Sinclair has been slowly chipping that away. Last year when they were short in the weather department, they would either let the weekend anchor read it or have WEAR pre tape their forecasts. Maybe a potential benefit could be having either Dan Shugart or Steve Nissim do a daily sports segment. WPMI hasn't had a full-time sportscaster since Lance Crawford left earlier this year. WKRG under Nexstar has really ramped up their presence in Northwest Florida, hiring several "digital journalists" to cover the area exclusively. Plus, they are the only other station in the market to do sports, and have two anchors. Longtime anchor Randy Patrick and weekend sports anchor/sports Overtime host Robby Baker. Could be another insurance policy if/when Randy Patrick decides to retire. Edited December 15, 2020 by tyrannical bastard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daybreak 268 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 WBTW has hired Annette Peagler , to co-anchor the 5:30 and 11 p.m. newscasts and sole anchor the 10 p.m. newscast on WFXB. She replaces Nicole Boone who has retire from the anchor desk and now the Special Events Anchor. This is one hire that I am exited to see! The last African American woman to anchor the weeknight evening news at WBTW (Vanessa Hill) left in 1994. Annette starts in a couple of weeks. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrabbleship 427 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) The year from hell at WFSB continues. Noon anchor/Better Connecticut co-host/de facto health reporter Kara Sundlun has COVID and at minimum her Better Connecticut co-host, morning meteorologist Scot Haney, is quarantining as well, doing the weather from home as had been standard practice at the outset of COVID. The rest of their morning team is in the studio as of this morning, I'm surprised they haven't had to self-quarantine as well as a precaution. For a clearer version of that image, click here.
