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.

And as this comes into play. Let us reflect on all the NBC 5 sets of the NBC Tower in the last 35 years!

WFLA has a store in Tampa's airport just branding no merch just to get snacks, drinks, books, & mags. Maybe be a few that like WDIV will show up for the morning show and the lifestyle program and get a cup of coffee I don't know if this will work thou.

Nothing will happen Biden said the F-bomb when Obamacare was passed. I say let the F-Bomb fly it isn't that big a deal in my opinion, and I don't get why lots still get offended by the F-Bomb in this day and age broadcaster should be allowed to have the F-Bomb fly in primetime maybe for 10PM to 6AM that is safe harbor but seems that the broadcasters don't use it for some reason.

Looking pretty good. I’m sure they will be happy to have some breathing room given their current situation. My guess is a November reveal [in time for sweeps].

From the Broadcast Plaza server, here's the first peak at the new NBC-Telemundo Newsroom. The new set is slated for later this year, and I'd imagine this follows a similar timeline.

Per Sandra Torres instagram, she is leaving WMAQ and the industry entirely.

WFAA's 7-9 morning newscast on WFAA+ launched this morning. It doesn't appear to be on KFAA at this time, but that may change. For a station like WWL, it would almost be like a second coming of the newscast CBS took away from them to put on WUPL. Too bad the damage has already been done there as WVUE rules the market.

50 States in 50 Weeks: America the Beautiful GMA is launching a year-long weekly series where a main anchor or meteorologist will visit one of all 50 States in celebration of the United States' Semiquicentennial and its own fiftieth anniversary. Starts July 3rd in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, and ends next July. https://deadline.com/2025/06/good-morning-america-yearlong-series-50-states-in-50-weeks-1236444863/

Regarding the Greenwood-Greenville market and Deltavision.... This is just one of those places where when one company swallows up all of the assets through failed station waivers and acquisition, the only logical taker would be a local firm who is acquiring the exclusive rights for ALL of the local stations. The only thing that comes close is Block's monopoly in Lima, Ohio and Morgan Murphy's in Victoria, TX. Depending on what happens with Glendive and KXGN, We could start seeing entire markets going under if there are willing parties to make the stations repeaters of another.

Canada, but more specifically Ontario. That was it for TVO's The Agenda. It signed off Friday night after a 19-year run.

Some recent news...... SVT's channels got a refresh: The German version of British satellite provider Sky is to be acquired by the RTL Group. https://company.rtl.com/export/sites/rtlunited/en/media/overview/press-releases-and-news/rtl-group-to-acquire-sky-deutschland/

The Top 4 rule was written in an era before digital subchannels, and as such didn't contemplate that a station could put two major affiliations on separate subchannels. Such activity is still only owning one top 4 facility, even if having two affiliations widens the gap between given top 4 stations, and I don't believe the FCC under any partisan makeup has acted against this.

Some awesome finds (not specifically newscasts) finally uploaded from an estate sale two years ago. KREM Northwest Gallery, February 18th, 1979. This was a newsmagazine that aired on Sunday nights And CLASSIC 60 Minutes!!!

That was the point and the reason why I said "Not now, of course" because the FCC just wants less regulation for broadcasters.

That was back when the FCC was under Democratic control, before Donald the Destroyer returned to office and Carr turned into his personal attack dog.

Finally! The temp set is similar to the one 9 has as well.
