All Activity

WDAF-TV and KSNW-TV (The Kansas State Network) also has it... Tegna doesn't even own any stations in Kansas City, or even Kansas.

The Bucks have a new home....somewhat the same as the old one pre-MSN/FSN/Bally/FanDuel. Every broadcast will be on WVTV's My 24 subchannel (the former WCGV), with a local streaming service TBA, along with a new state network, and the package starts with the team's Summer League action this Sunday. As with the Brewers deal for games on WITI and a state network, Good Karma and WTMJ radio will run affiliate relations and sell advertising during the broadcasts.

The obsession with Big Tech is just insane.

I found this on WOOD's website today. It takes you to the website. I also spotted it on KARK. Not all the Nexstar/Tegna affected stations have it... yet...

After a 16-year run and becoming one of the most recognizable faces of WAFB, Elizabeth Vowell will be leaving the station next month to join LSU full-time as their director of student media. She already works there part-time as one of their adjuct professors at their Manship School of Journalism. My speculative guess is that Tisha Powell will take the main gig. https://www.wafb.com/2026/07/10/elizabeth-vowell-leave-wafb-join-lsu-full-time/?https://www.wafb.com/&fbclid=PAT01DUAS973pleHRuA2FlbQIxMABzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA81NjcwNjczNDMzNTI0MjcAAaduMnOdtnAhq22fbMBGEBN-nirjWpU9WuPZ5dc0pXRLwk0wTOy1OaUwFaqPhg_aem_9PjyF-fmJDJrvxW9zf7L2A

Yup!!! Lessons learned from 9/11.

The Chief Met revolving door is in full swing again at Tegna's WATN. Chief Met Trevor Birchett is headed to sister station KHOU. He was chief barely a year. Danielle Moss barely lasted a year before him as well...

Things things are done by research. It’s not just a reaction to the dog of the market doing new weather branding. 7 doesn’t even consider 2/9 as competition. 7’s numbers quadruple 2’s on a bad day. 7’s consultants/research obviously showed the need for this. That’s why it’s been done. Simple.

From what I've been told, the best numbers for the streaming channels are just the regular newscasts, and replays of the regular newscasts.

As stated in the Out and About Thread by @TheRolyPoly, The next new newscast for WUPA is CBS News Atlanta at Noon. The half-hour newscast begins on Monday, July 13th. T.J. Anthony and Meteorologist Jonathan Myers will helm the new broadcast. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DalgVU7gdaA/?igsh=aXFtMmpnYTNuOXpz All that’s left is 4:30am, 5am, maybe 9am, 4pm, along with weekend mornings and evenings.

When I saw that this morning, I thought to myself "wow that's new". I like that they're trying something different (sort of). Then again, it depends on the reason. I know weather can be unpredictable at times and you want to stay on top of it as best as you can, and I feel this helps them and possibly viewers with that. Maybe I'm missing something here, but if that's the case, then kudos to KABC for it. Also, it's kind of left me wondering: do you guys see other stations (other ABC O&Os at least) adopting these "Weather Change Alerts" or just KABC?

Sorry, another post, but happy news... Meteorologist Sarah Wroblewski is coming back home to WBZ-TV after a nearly three year hiatus. She was away because her son was facing brain cancer, but now that she's back, she'll be back on her weekend routine for WBZ-TV.

Probably gutted or moth-balled for a while. It always looked tight in there. 3A looks nicer now since MSNBC left and it was re-modeled.

Anywhere in any field, 40 years in one place is a real achievement.

Even the best don't make the right decisions every time. Part of being a leader is knowing when you've been beat. Then you minimize the damage and change course. This seems like a good move for everyone involved.

Happy 40th Anniversary, Ukee Washington!

I get your point but a news leader is supposed to lead and be innovative, not follow others, but sometimes you have to look at what the competition is doing and sometimes they lead in things that the undisputed news leader in Southern California hasn’t fully catched on with. I don’t fully agree with the decision making of KABC in this case but I understand why they are doing it, and that is the bottom line.

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
