She also anchored a great version of CNN Tonight 10p-12a in a round-table format similar to the current CNN NewsNight. Her husband died in July, and she has children to care for in addition to grieving herself. She also wrote a memoir, Combat Love, which is being adapted for screen.

She and Victor Blackwell were a really good pairing in the afternoons but that was ultimately short-lived once they switched to CNN News Central

One of Columbus' all-time greats has passed away. Bob Nunnally was 68. https://www.nbc4i.com/news/local-news/columbus/nbc4-announces-passing-of-former-meteorologist-bob-nunnally/

Former CBS News State Dept. correspondent Christina Ruffini was anchoring MSNBC Live this weekend. Talk about having someone in the right place at the right time.

Alisyn Camerota signed off from CNN just before 5:00 tonight. (She was filling in for Fredricka Whitfield, but anchoring with Wolf Blitzer because of the Syria situation.) https://www.instagram.com/p/DDUsc5PxdVI/ She was great on New Day with Chris Cuomo and later John Berman, but CNN didn't seem to know what to do with her once she left mornings. (I believe she said at the time that it was her decision to leave because she was tired of mornings.) Personally, I really appreciated her coverage of Covid in 2020 when I was overwhelmed by watching too much news.

I know, and same.

TEGNA already has job openings listed for its cutdown version of creative services. I see 40 jobs for “multi-market commercial producer” or “multi-market creative producer” listed. Some stations have openings for both positions: KARE Minneapolis KGW Portland, OR KHOU Houston KPNX Phoenix KSDK St. Louis WFAA Dallas WGRZ Buffalo, NY WKYC Cleveland WTHR Indianapolis WUSA Washington, DC WXIA Atlanta Most only have an opening for a single commercial producer: KENS San Antonio KFSM Fayetteville, AR KREM Spokane, WA KTHV Little Rock KTVB Boise KVUE Austin, TX KXTY Sacramento WBIR Knoxville, TN WBNS Columbus, OH WCSH Portland, ME WLBZ Bangor, ME WMAZ Macon, GA WNEP Wilkes-Barre, PA WTOL Toledo, OH WWL New Orleans And these stations have openings for a single creative producer: KING Seattle KUSA Denver WCNC Charlotte What will these jobs pay? According to the salary listings for WGRZ — thank you New York and your salary transparency law — both jobs pay between $20 and $40.38 per hour. Or, $41,600 to $83,990 per year. In related news, one of TEGNA’s soon-to-be-former marketing directors said on LinkedIn that the company laid off at least 300 people in its creative services purge. Yikes!

It’s not the first time. I wish they leveraged sky news more.

Speaking of Sky News....with all the other cable networks interrupting non-live programming, MSNBC turn to Sky News for international coverage.

Agreed. It's a legitimate question.

Does anyone know if Sade is ok? It’s been weeks since I have seen her on air. And before anyone makes a smart remark, I don’t think anything was mentioned on social or on air because other viewers are asking on Bill and Sandra’s pages too.

Although Byron Miranda has been handling most weekend mornings and evenings so far, Stacy Ann Gooden filled in this morning, and "Nexstar Weather Center" meteorologist Jim Danner handled the evenings remotely from Texas.

And he was on the national tree lighting telecast. Good to see him going out big.

That's wonderful. I don't know why Gray (KFVS) has done the same thing, but maybe it's because they went through layoffs as well.

Scarborough gets featured on NBC News NOW ahead of his retirement.

Carr will seek to alter the equilibrium between stations and networks along with opening up ownership rules: https://deadline.com/2024/12/fcc-donald-trump-broadcast-tv-local-stations-brendan-carr-1236196688

That dura with the WRC logo on it looks familiar:

They have one of the best cases to do it, since they are one of only a small number of truly locally-owned independents left in the nation.

Paxton Media Group (WPSD) is openly courting ex-Allen employees. https://mediajobcenter.com/job/attention-journalists-laid-allen-media-509943769?utm_source=www.jobiqo.com&utm_medium=jobwidget&utm_campaign=launch You know it's bad when a rival company is ready and waiting to scoop up laid off employees.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but there’s a new rendition of the Hello News image theme for KWQC:

The Talk will not get to reruns after its 12/16 finale. The Price is Right will in its former timeslot starting the following Monday (12/19) untilThe Gates debuts on 2/24. https://deadline.com/2024/12/the-talk-replacement-the-price-is-right-beyond-the-gates-1236195490/

And it looks like it debuted in 2010..... Can't wait to see when the next one in 2056, sources that's when the new graphics will debut!

Did not know that -- that makes sense then

Could we not have this discussion in 2 forum threads? The WABC angle to this is no longer relevant. Please keep it in WNT's conversation only (or not at all, if I'm being honest, since we know no opinions are going to change).

To not examine what has been and take lessons from it that you can use because they are simply good ideas that make logical sense is foolish. I understand that times change… but folks under 35 or 40 or something aren’t the only ones watching (actually they don’t really watch)… sometimes it really is the details that matter. Being in first sometimes doesn’t indicate greatness… just being the least bad option.
