All Activity

If Johnson and Shlonsky come to Channel 7, I could see a lineup like the following happening in the near future. WEEKDAYS 4:30 to 7am: Shirleen/Pedro, and Brittany Bell with weather - no changes Mornings @ 10: Joe/Sandra, and Dani Beckstrom or Sam Champion as third wheel/meteorologist (Allicot and Rivera are already established anchors in the 10am hour, which tends to be looser but Torres and Bookman should get more than just one slot to me and then they can still be the primary evening fill ins) Noon: Joe/Sandra, and Jeff Smith with weather 4 & 6pm: Liz/David, Jeff Smith with weather at 4, Lee Goldberg with weather at 6 5 & 11pm: Sade/Mike, and Lee Goldberg with weather - no changes WEEKENDS Mornings: Michelle/Perry, and Dani Beckstrom with weather - no changes Evenings: Tanya/Brian, and Liv Johnson with weather

While Jeff deserves a weekday spot and is long overdue for one I almost can see them giving Dani the weekday spot if it’s coming up. She already does the 10 most days so add the noon and 4 or 6 and you’re set.

Fully support this. 12p Joe & Sandra 4 & 6p David & Liz 5 & 11p Sade & Mike Exactly what is Sam Champion's remaining role at Eyewitness News. How frequently does he appear on "EWN This Morning" anymore? Is he still regularly seen on "Mornings @ 10".

Interesting. I could see them moving Jeff to Noon and 4pm to help lighten Lee’s evening slate, especially with his expanded network duties. Brittany gets to cover mornings rather than hanging around until 1pm. And I’d really love to see Joe and Sandra back together.

They're launching 3:00pm news in the process, starting in September. But this brings an end to an amazing 35-year run of Saturday morning news on WKRC-TV and 12 years on Sunday mornings.

Isn't PIX11 still understaffed on weather?

I wonder where. Maybe Fox Weather? But that would probably have been more of a seamless move. Which local station has an opening for a new meteorologist?

Rumor is that Brian Shlonsky, now former main anchor at Louisville station WAVE TV, is coming to WABC. Could he be Joe’s successor on weekend evenings if Joe gets moved to weekdays at Noon? Also saw that Liv Johnson is leaving WNYW, but staying in New York. Could we see her on weekend evenings at WABC, with Jeff Smith being bumped up to 12 noon weekdays (and possibly either 4pm or 5pm) as well?

If Sinclair is cutting at one of its most successful stations, that’s not a good sign of things to come for all the 3rd- and 4th-place stations it runs.

WKRC-TV cancels weekend morning news, cuts news staff https://www.wvxu.org/media/2026-07-10/wkrc-tv-aleah-hordges-richard-skinner-sinclair-doug-lillibridge-tvkiese

Can I just point out the irony that this image of the WPIX studio is at the bottom of the Nexstar-Tegna.com website? It should not be lost on anyone that Mission is still due to sell PIX 11 because Nexstar is running an out-of-state SSA though Mission Broadcasting and they still owe over $1.8 million to the FCC for de facto violation of the 39% ownership cap. However, that action is conveniently delayed under Brenden Carr. Perry is, at this point, flaunting that he's violating the public trust and the law. I'm forwarding this to my AG. Great litigation evidence, really. https://www.nexstar-tegna.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/local-news-image-2.jpg

WTLV newsbreaks and NBC promos from 1990:

United Kingdom BREAKING sad news to report this morning... Longtime ITN and Sky News presenter Dermot Murnaghan has passed away after battling an illness connected to prostate cancer. He was only 68. https://news.sky.com/story/dermot-murnaghan-former-sky-news-and-bbc-presenter-has-died-13481881

The problem is that Mike just turned 76 last week. He does look really good for his age though.

Scripps Local Broadcast Stations Return to DIRECTV

For a company that's so worried about big tech, maybe they shouldn't have hitched their entire future to retransmission consent of pay TV and playing catch up supplying their content to newer platforms. Big tech isn't going to be their demise, they did this to themselves.

I spotted it on WAVY's website as well. Man, they are really trying to push this through.

Liv Johnson has left. She says she will be somewhere else on tv in NYC soon: https://www.instagram.com/p/DaoWoPLFsJq/?hl=en&img_index=1

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.
