I liked them having live programming on Saturday and Sunday nights but the show never really found its footing this year from what I’d seen. The hosts were all a bit boring.

WCIA 3's longest-serving anchor, Jennifer Roscoe, has decided to call it a career after 34 years there. They aired a half-hour special but this is the off-air version of it. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wcia.com/specials/celebrating-34-years-at-wcia-jennifer-roscoe-says-goodbye/amp/

Interesting that even with this primetime shift, MS NOW will still have more live weekend hours than CNN or Fox News

More weekend changes. The Weekend: Primetime airs its final episode this Saturday (June 27th) and video podcasts from Crooked Media will take over weekend evenings. Also, Alex Witt will leave MS NOW later this year.

On the weekend of July 10th, WCSC-TV will be discontinuing two newscasts: their half-hour news at 3:00pm and their Sunday morning news at 8:00am as they expand Palmetto Life to three different editions, one at 9:00am where its at now, another at 3:00pm, and another on Sunday morning at 8:00am. Emilie Zuhowski will continue at 9am while Regan Ranzer is tapped to host at 3pm, and Isabelle Marak will helm Sunday mornings. https://tvnewscheck.com/journalism/article/palmetto-life-expands-to-three-weekly-broadcasts-on-wcsc-charleston/

Long-time Pittsburgh meteorologist Jeff Verzyla's contract not renewed by WTAE Pittsburgh https://triblive.com/aande/movies-tv/tv-talk-meteorologist-jeff-verzyla-out-at-wtae/

Are we about to see a self-antonomous governing body of Hawai'i take ownership of KITV and KIKU? Hear me out on this. (Source: Wikipedia) The Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) is a self-governing corporate body of the State of Hawaii, often described as the fourth branch of government. While this is all in the very early stages, there are talks of OHA buying KITV and KIKU from Allen Media Group, possibly putting it in the hands, in some way, with the state government of Hawaii. https://www.kitv.com/news/business/office-of-hawaiian-affairs-moves-forward-with-possible-purchase-of-kitv-kiku/article_90655adf-4b59-4b47-8f23-a5fa12a769f3.html

Australia Karl Stefanovic's time at the Nine Network is immediately over. https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/no-longer-possible-nine-axes-karl-stefanovic/6hk6berm5?cid=newsapp:socialshare:other

Lindsay was in on traffic all last week and earlier this week so probably just off today.

It’s usually Lindsey Tuchman could be that she was also off

Thank you for posting this!

I noticed yesterday and today, there is no sub for Heather, the anchors and helicopter reporter are doing the traffic reports.

KDKA officially announced this morning that the AR/VR set will be coming to Pittsburgh in the first or second week of August.

Jack Royer is leaving my favorite, WSVN 7, to become the new main evening anchor at WOFL Orlando. We have found our John Brown replacement who has since left evenings to rejoin Good Day Orlando a few months back. https://www.instagram.com/p/DZ-78p9mDgl/?igsh=MTVhNHVteGp2MDQ0bg==

Comes on the same day WHEC's Glenn Johnson hung it up for good today after a 41-year run in broadcast meteorology, all of it in Rochester. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1334596544748491

Longtime meteorologist Mike Wankum announced earlier tonight that he's retiring at WCVB at the end of the month. https://youtu.be/Z5Sd5Zwa-28?is=4nk3X_Oln9sMSOXi

Longtime WRC-TV Northern Virginia bureau chief Julie Carey has retired. Here is her sendoff: https://www.nbcwashington.com/video/news/local/julie-carey-farewell-news4/4121640/

At this point it’s fair to wonder if losing an over the air signal is that big a deal anymore. There are tons of other ways to get the stations that the FCC has no control over.

She still has a role with the Kraken.

FTVlive is reporting that Leticia Juárez is out at ABC7 and not because of cost cutting. Anyone have deets on what happened?

breaks the tradition of Baltimore football announcers with deep roots in the area (Chuck Thompson with the Colts Bruce Cunningham with the Stallions Scott Garceau and Gerry Sandusky with the Ravens)

This week there's been the announcements of 2 new local NFL play by play announcers. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced that Tony Castricone, who most recently called football and men's basketball for the University of Washington, is the successor to Gene Deckerhoff: https://www.buccaneers.com/news/tony-castricone-starts-new-era-bucs-radio-play-by-play-announcer And the Baltimore Ravens announced that Kyle Youmans, who most recently worked media for the Dallas Cowboys, is the successor to Gerry Sandusky: https://www.wbaltv.com/article/voice-of-the-ravens-kyle-youmans-baltimore/71686542

In Columbus, Meredith Garofalo is leaving WBNS-TV after 13 months as weekday morning meteorologist (and several months before that as a freelancer). And it'll be a swift departure: She signs off July 2nd (Thursday).

Interesting seeing primetime anchors filling in during the day: Anderson Cooper anchored The Lead yesterday, and Abby Philip did The Arena today. (Not sure if there were other instances as I didn't get to catch everything.)

Yeah they’re doing a somewhat significant construction project to the outer facade of their building though I haven’t walked by there in a few weeks.
