Jeff Cole has retired.

Happy 84th birthday to the country's oldest-running commercial television station... who just happened to be on the air an hour before WCBW (now WCBS) did.

All they can do is think with the sale department.

I wonder if this means that Haley Meier is permanently picking up Kendall's old shift, or maybe something entirely different.

A little birdie told me uncle Warren said no to a sale - if he sold it would have tax implications given how he acquired wplg. I still think Fox will buy 10, and that the ABC deal was a hedge by wsvn management since Their fox affiliation expires 2026 so...

That one is replacing the building across from the studios. Plex will get demolished closer to ~2030 They were supposed to have broken ground by now, this story says 2027. Wsvn new building in Miramar is scheduled to start construction end of 2025 or early 2026 to coincide with their 70th year but not necessarily with a July debut

“We want to be a local news brand that builds community,” said Ellis. “By creating a space like this where everyone is welcome, we will be more local than ever before, and we believe that means something special.” Audibly laughted at 2:04am in the dark. They've no clue what to do to get eyeballs

Yes. Back to WDIV... it is an interesting concept. I'm excited to see how it comes through and how its implemented. At least its something original because you don't see anyone else doing this.

Just going to flag that this shouldn't be a list. Airport newsstands and what WDIV is doing are very different ventures.

I'm guessing since a majority of the airport stores are NBC affiliates they're connected to CNBC deal with Paradies Lagardère. WRAL confirms that's who operates the store using their brand. https://capitolbroadcasting.com/2018/06/13/wral-opens-new-travel-store-at-rdu/

Sister KPNX in Phoenix has a store at Sky Harbor Airport, although the airport website erroneously labeled the shop as "CNBC 12 News". https://www.skyharbor.com/at-the-airport/shops/cnbc-12-news-680/

This is common enough that I'm sure it's just a licensing deal.

Looking forward to a better looking newsplex when they move

WXIA had (has?? Not sure if still there) the same thing at Hartsfield-Jackson in Atlanta…it was funny that they continued to use the 90s era 11Alive logo and never updated the signage to the current red logo

Neither Dick nor Jessica mentioned they were filling in for Kristine.

Network 10 in Australia recieved a brand refresh coinciding with the debut of 10 News+. 10 Bold Drama changed to 10 Drama, 10 Peach Comedy changed to 10 Comedy, and the Network 10 logo no longer has a circle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0R2DEGX2eM&t=105s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okD6JRi5U4s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqP2XJIUcI4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBGcMTXFrYM

WJZ's building on TV Hill in Baltimore suffered an electrical fire this afternoon. The fire was out by the time firefighters arrived at the station. https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/baltimore/news/maryland-baltimore-fire-wjz-building-newsroom/

CNBC has shops in multiple airports, though they're also just news/convenience stores with branding. I remember seeing one in Charlotte back in 2007.

Scott Padget debuted today at 5pm. Probably reading too much into it, but when I saw at 5:45 they did not say he was "in for Lonnie". Should be interesting to see if/how this shifts their weather lineup

Same with KUSI…. https://www.san.org/Shop-Dine-Relax/Detail?Id=54

New show alert featuring Ari - Mon-Thurs 9pm

This is interesting....

Never in my life have I seen a tv station open a coffee shop wonder what ever stations do this besides the ones seen here

I was surprised that Freeform was dropped 2 years ago in my opinion from Spectrum Disney XD & Disney JR. should've remained dropped in my opinion.
