Nexstar, FCC ask D.C. court to toss legal challenge over TEGNA acquisition Here's hoping the court disagrees.

As today was the announcement, it was quick to see that today was also it for him from full-time work. His whole family was there to celebrate him plus longtime former WBNS anchor and community director Angela Pace also stopped on by to celebrate Dom, her first appearance since being laid off by TEGNA.

Now I’m worried about Christine? I’m watching the video right now. Maybe it’s best tv news anchors, reporters, meteorologists remain apolitical as a conservative myself it even gives me the ick. Even after there retired keep that to yourself I’ve seen retired personalities reveal there political views and I look at them differently after, maybe it’s just me because they did a good job hiding it all these years, but the moment the open up I get the ick. This is coming into a perspective for me I used to get enamored with local news personalities, have crushes on them pretend there my imaginary friends because I had some loneliness and validation issues, but I’ve realized like my mom said that just a curated persona I don’t know these people maybe it’s best I don’t either nor meet these people. But the bottom line I’ve learned is I can’t get close to these people they could be racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, anti-Semitic, horrible people who harbor these views and probably support people like Chud the builder, or agreed with January 6th rioters, and are just like the types of people they report on. There just civilized, go to work and take care of there family, and tolerate there female and minority colleagues but in there hearts they might be awful people. If you follow me and my posts on this forum my attachment to these people almost spilled onto here about a meteorologist, this video I will bookmark this video because I need a reminder, I’m not saying they’ll all this way. But some of them don’t hide it on air.

I just hope he doesn’t become a me me me like his successor. Hopefully Christine can shine, she been underused every male co anchor she has been able to be a leader never her.

He was on standby in New York when Tony's crew had that incident in Taipei.

Matt Gutman filling in this evening. Has he done so before? Did he ever fill in on World News Tonight when he was on ABC? Blatant speculation with nothing backing this up, but I can bet Gutman is on the shortlist if and when Tony Dokoupil fails.

KOIN Channel 6 (CBS Portland, OR): Newsroom 6 late edition, Wednesday, October 19, 1983

This is something only WRAL-TV CAN do. I'll be watching it once its available. WRAL looks as the increasing deserts of local news across North Carolina which looks like the rest of the country as well in a new half-hour doc. https://tvnewscheck.com/journalism/article/wral-documentary-examines-north-carolinas-shrinking-local-newsrooms/

Al Roker stopped by his old stomping grounds at WKYC Cleveland today. Considering his personality, it went as well as you expected.

Nobody wondered.

Unless a white knight steps in, WSRE is still slated to lose PBS programming on June 30th. As far as I know, the WSRE foundation is still fighting for independence from Pensacola State College, who owns WSRE-TV itself. They could realistically resurrect WSRE's PBS programming on another channel if they had the ability to do so. Another possibility could be Florida State University stepping in to run/buy WSRE and relay the programming from Tallahassee's WFSU that's repeated on WFSG in Panama City. That station only reaches to Fort Walton Beach, while WSRE picks up coverage from there all the way into Mobile with their transmitter located near the others in Baldwin County Alabama between Mobile and Pensacola.

Sports director Ryan Baker is leaving for a role in the nonprofit sector.

FOX 11 finally has their worthy replacement for Elex Michaelson to work alongside Christine.

In case you wondered how Glen leaned politically.

After 45 years at WBNS 10TV Columbus, longtime sports director Dom Tiberi is stepping down from full-time work. However, he will remain with WBNS 10TV as a part-time contributor to cover Ohio State sports starting in the Fall.

Canada CBC is launching another FAST channel, this time called CBC Docs, this fall. To make way for that, the documentary channel will cease to exist and sign off for good on August 31st. https://broadcastdialogue.com/cbc-to-double-down-on-documentary-storytelling-with-new-fast-channel/

Hoping it’s evenings. Watching Christine and Marla respectively anchor the 5pm and 6pm solo is awful. Christine is great and an LA icon and would pair well with Glen.

Looking at his social media since he was let go by KTLA, he seems like he'd feel more at home somewhere like Newsmax...

After nearly four years, this is Kirstin O'Connor's last week on KXLY's airwaves. It also sounds like she's done with TV news after 14 years in the business. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1443001060966341&id=100057693836031

KAKE uses the First Alert moniker

To be fair, it doesn't seem like too much talent is being shuffled here. Pre-9am assignments appear to be unchanged, though some were off today. Chicago Now ending doesn't really move the needle, and Tia and Anita simply traded Chicago Report and GDC at 9. Unclear if Scafidi is permanent at 11am, but Sylvia was gone so long and Terrence has now been there for months, so there's continuity there.

KTVQ, the flagship station of the Montana Television Network (MTN) also seems to be close to rolling out the new look too as evidenced by their new video thumbnails.

Former KTLA anchor Glen Walker has been hired by FOX 11 and on his Instagram page, there is a picture of him right in front of the FOX Television Center on Bundy Drive in West LA. He will most likely be on in the evenings, but we shall see what happens.
