Bsean 136 Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 I wonder where Dagmar Midcap over at KNSD has been. She hasn't been on air in over a month and they've literally had every weather personality at the station filling in. This week and last week it's been Sheena Parveen from mornings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tylerSC 46 Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 On 9/6/2023 at 10:03 PM, IIN4MU said: She is no longer on the station website, and offers no hints of an employment change and any of her social media channels. Apparently Carolyn Bruck may have finally departed WCNC. Need further confirmation here. She was well liked on both the morning and recently afternoon shows. But she has had at least 2 leave of absence periods in the past before ultimately returning. Hope to see her back on a CLT channel. Wish her good luck.

It seemed like it was about Kimberly Hunt special and only 1 min bit of the previous on air talents which they did poorly on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, there really aren't that many on-air talent left that even remotely have the connection/association with the KGTV of the late 80s-early 00s when they were on top of their game. This whole celebration seems like it was done in haste and on the cheap. Let's get a couple of sound bites, some b-roll and a few cheap decorations/logos and call it a day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven 1907 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Former ABC News correspondent Kenneth Moton, becomes the new 6 & 11pm anchor on WTTG next Monday. And this was announced back on Friday. But WWL has added two former Houston anchors to join their Morning show. Former KPRC anchor Brandon Walker and former KTRK reporter/anchor Brheanna Boudreaux (fka Brhe Berry) will join Leslie Spoon & Eric Paulsen as anchors of the morning show, beginning on October 16. The station hasn't specified the anchor assignments (which one will anchor which part of the AM broadcast, etc.). But they did add that Leslie Spoon will be the "full-time" anchor of the noon show (while still doing part of the AM show) beginning November 27.

CLT-DCA-ORF-PTI 82 Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 (edited) 40 minutes ago, Breaking News said: What happened to Rob Desir at WTTG? I was wondering the same thing. It is eerie, because there is nothing online, mainly FB posts from viewers mentioning how he has just disappeared from everything WTTG. Very interesting. Could have gotten another position at another station, and under a Non-Compete, or at least that what I am assuming.

No word on why he left after only being there two years. On all his social media platforms in the comments section with fans asking his whereabouts.

Orduna is the third KCTV5 journalist to file a discrimination lawsuit against the television company in the last four months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 634 Posted Monday at 11:26 AM Share Posted Monday at 11:26 AM Longtime WOOD-TV morning meteorologist, Terri DeBoer, is retiring from TV after almost 30 years on WOOD-TV. I personally know Terri and have been on many a tour of the WOOD-TV studios. She is the best morning meteorologist in Grand Rapids by far and I'm sad to see her go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Rollo Smokes 157 Posted Monday at 02:06 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:06 PM (edited) On 8/15/2023 at 10:13 AM, Big Rollo Smokes said: Not anymore. The sale to RNN is off. ShopHQ's new white knight is a company owned by the founder of 5-Hour Energy. More from the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. And this guy is just getting started. It looks like he's looking to be a major-minor player in broadcast media. UPDATE: It seems as the failed sale of iMedia Brands/ShopHQ to RNN either created bad blood between the two, or triggered a contractual out clause. Because in a very recent development, ShopHQ is no longer on WRNN in the NYC market. ShopHQ's replacement? The Liquidation Channel, aka ShopLC. One can assume this has been mirrored at RNN's other stations. No announcement of the switch was made on either side.
