Yes, they did, simulcasting from FanDuel Sports Sun. This new deal is for games to air exclusively on WPLG in Miami, I'd expect a broadcast deal to be done at least in West Palm Beach in the not-too-distant future.

I thought that WPLG was going to get the Heat as they aired 10 games in 2025-26 season.

So sad R.I.P. Stacey King.

If I’m interpreting it correctly, this sounds like a more permanent gig.

Didn't see this yet as according to the comments Liberte Chan, formerly of KTLA, will be making weather appearances soon: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DY3Bnc8PfTQ/?igsh=cnB1dm5ldDlqNDcx

Is the ad sponsored? Then there's your answer. Just a promo the sales department needed to slap a logo onto because the client was sold the time.

Speaking of former Action News sports talent, Jamie Apody will do sports for at least tonight: https://www.instagram.com/p/DZVEVQ1pkRo/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=4add935e-37e3-4011-a74b-0712262f4bf3

Sometimes we get so locked into what’s perceived as the “normal” way that it can become seen as the “only” way even when it isn’t. Maybe this doesn’t work out for them, and they switch something up. Maybe it does work out long term. The economics aren’t what they once were. Maybe being different and seeing how it plays out is worth the shot when all factors are taken into account.

I think they're correcting the way you spelled her name. It's Carabeo, not Carabello. Anyway, I agree that this schedule is just odd. Jan has been doing weekends for years now. I feel like they could have just promoted her to Monday-Friday and found someone else to do weekends. Although, maybe she personally wanted to do it like this.

The Heat are off to WPLG next season:

Already mentioned a few posts prior.

WZZM Chief Meteorologist Samantha Jacques announced on FB she is leaving the station. She's been Chief barely a year. According to AM Anchor Tanner Hollbrook Friday is her last day.

Jan Carabeo.

Yet not a thing about it on their social media, over the air, or in the local paper (I believe). Just drove by KAYU today and with them likely moving out of the building, KREM will be the only TV station on the hill.

Honestly think a better use of their resources is to shift Siafa to the mornings with Janelle and let Natasha handle afternoons/evenings with Ukee. I never understood the appeal of Siafa.

What a strange schedule. Will Josh Sidorowicz continue at 7 AM or will Jan Carabeo do that too? I suppose Natasha Brown will continue at noon.

AMAZING stuff in this post. Rare cable stuff and a new "holy grail" television market, all unearthed. Starting with this one...Jerry Bishop wishing us a wonderful tomorrow and all. First time finding a 1986 or earlier sign-off from Disney. Of course, both sign-off variants (including the "Mickey Ball") have been uploaded by other YTers. There were many tapes in this lot with free preview weekends from Disney. I drove all the way to the Packwood flea market to find this VHS tape from Lewiston. I have been looking for a KLEW taping for many years, and finally found one: Long-defunct KCWT Wenatchee from 1985...I'm guessing, can't find an exact date. KCWT was an indie, then was a Fox affiliate (mostly relaying KAYU with some local programs), then went to Channel America and TBN before a transmitter malfunction in 1993 knocked them off for good. I wonder how KCWT would have fared as a local Big 3 network affiliate with a news department...if they had been successful. Wenatchee is a weird area, with plenty of Seattle viewing on cable, yet there were Spokane VHF translators in all of those communities (and west to Leavenworth...even as far west as Lake Wenatchee). Another cable sign-off here...for American Movie Classics. Bob Dorian (1934-2019) wraps up "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House" with a tribute to Cary, there's a promo for "The Bible" with George C. Scott, tomorrow's schedule, and they sign off the air. December 5th, 1987, around 4:30AM Eastern. (I wonder if Bob watched his own network once they started adding Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead. Probably not.)

Jan Carabello will add Wed-Fri duties alongside Janelle, while remaining on weekends. Janelle will host solo on Mondays and Tuesdays.

WBGU won't become The Ohio Channel after all. Instead, it'll remain a PBS member station as WGTE will take over operations of the station starting July 1st. https://www.wbgu.org/WBGU-WGTE/

Australia Tuesday, May 26th - Justin Stevens resigns as ABC's news director. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-27/abc-justin-stevens-resigns-as-director-of-news/106728188 Thursday, May 28th - Simon Robinson has been appointed as their new news director. He is currently the deputy to the editor-in-chief at Reuters, where he has been for 16 years. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-28/abc-appoints-simon-robinson-as-news-director/106729310 This is the first time in decades that ABC has hired a news director from outside their news organization, as they usually promote from within. However, Mr. Robinson doesn't start until September. So in the meantime, Donna Field, who is ABC's current head of Regional, Rural and Metro News, is serving as their interim news director.

Spain A surreal moment today, all captured on live television. Pope Leo XIV is in Spain today for the first papal visit to the country in 15 years. In what has to be an amazing moment for RTVE, he was taken to the popemobile that was waiting at the RTVE headquarters at the Spain Tower, the Torrespana, in downtown Madrid. It was aired live during a special broadcast of RTVE. Imagine your one of the world's largest public broadcasters and your briefly greeted by the Pope, of all people, at your own national broadcasting headquarters.

He ain't wrong
