As for the Nexstar podcasts that are strictly online, does anyone actually watch them in great number. They seem to be filling dead air with journalists' passion projects or hobbies. Im curious what the numbers are for streamers like WTEN+ or WPIX+

There's no reason it can't be for both reasons.

CBS/Paramount/Skydance doesn't want them. They don't even want the stations they already have.

In the latest round of "Milwaukee Met Roulette", former TMJ met Kristen Kirchhaine is now with WISN

In my opinion Nexstar should sell there major market CBS stations to Paramount/Skydance that’s Raleigh, Birmingham, Indy, Portland.

I mean that seems pretty risky, even if your reporters aren't near the building itself they still could've gotten swept up with crews running away or a dust cloud

Frank and Jessica obviously outlasted the others who anchored the morning news before them and heck they are the most tenured main anchors at the station as a whole right now. We also can't forget the early morning news people from past to present because they are part of the story too and that includes Sharon Tay, Emmett Miller, Cher Calvin, Lu Parker, Asha Blake, and presently Megan Henderson and Chris Schauble.

Just a little update, but as of mid-last week, NBC News Daily has now also moved into 3A. Looks like they might be using a former MSNBC desk, though I’m not sure. The overall graphic motif is similar to what they had in 3C (or whatever that studio was renamed.) I wonder what NBC might do with that space now that it’s totally vacant.

They were part of the story, and perhaps they (PIX, NN, and Nexstar as a whole) were rolling the dice on the building actually collapsing and being the station who already had everything in place to capture and cover it (dark, but a possibility). Other people noting that court shows would have normally been on during some of this coverage- be honest- Live coverage of the building yesterday beats a court show rerun hands down.

More BS kool-aid from Nexstar. Sure, they can expand newscasts until they're blue in the face. But when the content pool diminishes from reporter layoffs, cutting news feeds, and reliance on "old" news to fill the time. I've noticed a marked increase in "regional" news on Nexstar stations (and others like Gray that have taken over large swaths of the country). Basically, the stations are feeding each other and less and less is devoted to covering the actual news in their area. The result is a watered-down product that everyone loses from because it's the same thing across a large swath of stations, making the very concept of "local news" a farce. It's very well possible that a local station could not have a single LOCAL story on a very slow news day.

It could be Nexstar Corporate Office on 6th Ave near the Central Park, you can tell by large outdoor green space opening.

Cheers to 35 years! LA's iconic KTLA Morning News went on the air 35yrs ago today! RIP to Sam Rubin. Up until earlier this year the 7am-11am portion of the program only had one weatherman the entire time....the great Mark Kriski. Sadly, he was let go earlier in the year due to Nexstar layoffs. The KTLA team still supports him as you can see by his recent IG posts. Morning reporter/fill in anchor Eric Spillman is the only original member of the program left at the station today. Each of the anchor parings across the years....Carlos/Barbara, Carlos/Giselle Fernandez, Carlos/Michaela Pereira, Frank Buckley/Michaela and now Frank/Jessica Holmes carry on the great tradition of ensuring the show exudes "LA's Very Own."

Chris Cimino?

Also their renewed NHL contract takes effect this fall and it's around double the value of the previous one.

Spain (The Running of the Bulls is taking place this week as we speak) The country is getting a seventh national channel. We already have La 1 and La 2 from RTVE, Antena 3 and La Sexta from Atresmedia, and Telecinco and Cuatro from Mediaset España. Now, we have a new company, Siete (Servicios Integrados de Entretenimiento Televisivo) that will give us... La Septima. Launch date is November 5th, 2026. https://elpais.com/economia/2026-07-07/la-septima-iniciara-emisiones-el-5-de-noviembre-con-una-inversion-de-25-millones.html

I just found this website... created by Nexstar themselves. https://www.nexstar-tegna.com/

And this comes a day after Rogers took full control of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment.

It's getting that way. Technically, "NBC 15" is now WEAR 3.2, since Sinclair played the shell game last year, moving ROAR to WPMI 15.1. Believe it or not, they've actually hired a replacement anchor for Darwin Singleton, Asha Staples, who was a reporter for WALA several years back. And they recently hired a replacement for Kelly Foster as well. Still, it's very light on Mobile-centric content and is largely padded with stories from WEAR in Pensacola and the usual Sinclair garbage.... The weekends have been done by WEAR since the massive layoffs 3 years ago. And even if NBC 15 is short-staffed or having technical issues? WEAR to the rescue!

The 10 o’clock broadcast has Shirley still anchoring from outside on Second Avenue, while Chris Camino is doing weather with limited graphics from “a studio across town” (his words -any idea where he is? He has windows behind him that look like he’s about 10 stories up) and Duarte G anchoring for other non-building stories from a studio somewhere that has no identifiable markings.

WABC, WCBS and WNBC went wall to wall for stunt devils climbing the Empire State Building. They only broke away when it was clear the press wasn’t getting a perp walk. A potential building collapse of the former Pfizer building in Midtown East during the middle of the workday is worthy of extensive coverage.

PIX used their unique positioning (and the fact that they were part of the story) to their advantage. I think it was a good decision, albeit yes maybe the coverage was a bit too long. If you want other news and regular programming, turn to other channels. If you want in-depth coverage of this, keep it there. Many folks they interviewed complimented their extensive coverage and commitment, so I think this was (much needed) good press for WPIX after the mass layoffs.

I agree wholeheartedly that the "immersive studio" is overrated, or at least the way they're using it is. It makes me miss the simple green screen, where I'd argue it is easier to see/understand the weather.

A partial WFLA newscast from May 1994, with a mention of rival WTVT dumping CBS for Fox:

In reality, for breaking news how many put PIX11 as their primary source? The other O&O flagships did thorough jobs without wall to wall.
