Side question: I have a friend looking at a job here. Good station for onair? No? How much turnover do they have? Anyone onair leaving soon?

I was gonna same the same. I know Derick. He’s a good guy. But what a stupid move. Not to mention pay. He was likely making 200K plus after a few years at 7. The new reporter opening at WPIX, pays 150. So #1 station to #4 station with a pay cut. And he is good. He deserved better. They are hiring kids these days, far less talented. Side question for WPIX insiders: why did the station layoff all those reporters this spring, just to hire new ones? People like Waller cant be THAT much cheaper, no? Like Anthony Dilo couldnt have been that much more expensive?

They are simulcasting NewsNation instead.

Henry Rossoff reports on X that the Daily News Building was also ordered to evacuate, forcing WPIX off the air. He said they are re-grouping and will resume coverage when they are able to. I believe they stopped at 11am.

They are full coverage on this. Everyone else is sticking to regular programming. I guess they are across the street and part of the story.

PIX11 preempted New York Living to cover the building with 2 columns that buckled on East 42nd street. Dan and Vanessa are on.

Kelly Foster, a longtime anchor and meteorologist at NBC 15 in Mobile who left the station earlier this year, has resurfaced on WALA Fox 10 as a meteorologist working the midday shows.

I noticed Natalie Duddridge is in studio this morning doing the traffic reports, then Guy Staniar was doing the traffic reports for 7am.

WSMV announced during its 3:00pm newscast today that Chief Meteorologist Lisa Spencer will be retiring after nearly 3 decades at the station. Her final day in a full-time role is August 7th. She will still be around in a part-time capacity as needed. https://www.wsmv.com/2026/07/06/greatest-blessings-my-life-beloved-wsmv4-chief-meteorologist-makes-major-announcement/

Former WRTV met Todd Klaassen has joined BAM Weather - a private weather firm out of Greenwood, Indiana. Posted on his Facebook page.

can't wait for the eventuality of Allen owning no stations.

Same here for 17.2 not much outside The Pistons maybe they'll get AC Grand Rapids when they debut next year. Programming is all over the place as well just threw whatever could stick. Since there isn't much syndication Scripps could've maybe put second hours of GMFB, ICrime, I think Dateline & 48 Hours not sure if that was only for 1 hour per-day or if they had second hours, I thought they did. Outside of Byron Allen's dreck that Sinclair dropped from ARC-WMI this past fall & Funny You Should Ask wasn't much they could get for syndication. Scripps News has all morning 6AM to 12PM M-F.

I wonder when WOOD TV DTs will add Antenna TV since FOX17 dropped it last week. I'm kinda surprised Nexstar didn't try and pick it up once Nexstar bought Tribune or sometime in the early 2020s in my opinion. I don't care either way as I didn't really ever watch Antenna TV.

Liz Dueweke formerly of KCPQ FOX13 in Seattle and KFOX in El Paso has joined the FOX 32 team. Says she will share more details soon. https://www.instagram.com/p/DadJq2JFLxj/?igsh=ZHFpZnl4OXNlbzlx

It was interesting when I saw him work mornings at WCBS knowing he left WABC because that shift. I can't blame the guy, there's nothing natural about waking up at 2 AM, and studies show it's harmful to the human body. Plus, the difficulty with a station like WABC is that they have so much senior talent who never leave, so you may never get off of a shift. Marcus Solis (if I'm correct) is still, working weekend mornings ---- it could be his choice. Joe Torres and up until a few years ago Sandra Bookman is still on weekends (could be his/their choice). Leaving WABC might be just what someone has to do to get a better position, being that their talent stays put. Unfortunately in Waller's case it didn't work out for him. He was better off an AM reporter at Disney than Nexstar & Paramount.

I was questioning whether I fell asleep and missed the ball drop, that seems like something that they should show! I liked the segments, it was an OK special.

Allen Media is using AI to edit map, and the logos are destroyed.

well at least Sky won't be owned by Comcast anymore since they're spinning that off.

Former KTEN meteorologist Christine Gormley is joining KOKI/KTUL as the evening meteorologist for 8 (Tulsa’s News Pulse) and helping FOX23 during severe weather coverage on both stations as FOX23 has been and will be handling all weather coverage in Green Country for both stations.

United Kingdom £1.6 billion. That's how much Sky is going to pay for ITV's broadcast and streaming division. In other words, ITV and Sky will be merging. Considering both are legacy brands, I don't know how this will be turned out. Remember, this is for ITV, ITV2, ITV3, ITV4, ITV Quiz, ITVX, and everything else associated with it including ITV News and ITV Sport (the UK home of the World Cup). https://news.sky.com/story/sky-to-pay-1-6bn-for-itvs-broadcast-and-streaming-division-13531722

When Blue Ridge PBS (WBRA in Roanoke) was in the process of returning to the FCC their two stations in far southwest Virginia (WMSY and WSBN in Marion and Norton, respectively), they launched "Southwest Virginia Public Television" in 2014 which was carried on local cable systems that once carried the prior two stations. The two over-the-air stations left the air in 2017, but in 2022 they launched "PBS Appalachia Virginia", which is a streaming-only (and cable) PBS broadcaster and has no over-the-air presence. There's also low-power KCWT in Brownsville, Texas, whose 21.4 subchannel serves as PBS for the Rio Grande Valley after KMBH went dark in 2018.

Look at what I just found and I'm going global with this... Bogota, Colombia Friday, March 19th, 1999 The first CityNoticias newscast on Citytv Bogota, yes the same name of the legendary Toronto station which has been seen nationwide in Canada since 2002. To this day, Citytv Bogota is still the only real branded affiliate left outside of the Canadian network. As you can see, the open and style of those early days are EERILY similar to those from the Canadian side, music, presentation, everything. Toronto, Canada Here's a look at the original Citytv to compare and contrast. This is from 1998 (a year before Citytv Bogota launched), featuring three legendary personalities all in their own right: Gord, Anne, and yes, Mark (RIP), THE voice of Citytv.

Seems like they plan on broadcast and streaming (if their "station history" section is any indication). Personally I'm a bit skeptical since parts of the website seem a bit strange...I wouldn't say AI-generated, but the writing is very suspicious (especially the station history section, which is very vague and occasionally puts things that haven't happened yet in past tense). I have used their contact form and asked a few questions, so I'll see if I get any answers. Update: they have a contact page on the official PBS site (where you select your local station) and it says it was updated on the 1st of the month, so it seems pretty legit.

Since WSRE is no longer a PBS station, a new group has emerged that could be the area's next PBS station "Emerald Coast PBS" emeraldcoastpbs.org It's unclear what this organization is, or what their plans are, but it may have plans to bring PBS programming back to a station (or even a virtual one) in the near future. They are soliciting pledges, primarily for former WSRE members who benefited from having access to PBS Passport programming, a standard feature for those who donate at least $5 a month to their local PBS station. Going forward, their best option may be a brokered spot on WPAN-TV. Their entire station is brokered content, including a full-powered repeater slot for WFBD-TV, a TCT station with a fringe transmitter. Does PBS even have any stand-alone low-power stations, or virtual affiliates that lack a broadcast signal? In WSRE's absense, there is a large part of Northwest Florida that no longer has access to PBS programming over the air.

DC Fireworks was delayed and realized today FNC anchors can’t improvise. Honestly, what is Charlie Hurt’s appeal? Please tell me. Will say Rachel Campos Duffy needs to replace Ainsley on F&F weekdays. Seems to be more relatable and likable.
