Why should they do anything but what he, his employer, his family, and his doctors agree is best for all involved?

Former WGAL reporter Barbara Barr has joined the news team at WHTM. https://www.abc27.com/news/top-stories/veteran-journalist-barbara-barr-joins-abc27-news-team/?fbclid=IwY2xjawSdgWBleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFIaUZOMVBieGlwYXpBSXQwc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHv80rgxlJO7za-VinAwI5oIy4V8CMWS9BJ5Du8czaDD7hjiZ2H9P7ACZWadd_aem_nZTkitTa6eJQYG9pFDlHIQ

Ok now that’s a little much. Cue him live in studio saying he works for a different station or is in a different city or is a plumber or something. He should just gracefully be gone into the sunset. If they assigned another reporter to check in with him and did a series of reports in his honor that would make more sense.

Yes they have had separate newscast just share reporters.

Has KODE always had separate(ish) newscasts since they consolidated with KSNF? These shows are much more efficient and cost-effective than full blown newscasts. Hosts run their own graphics, roll their own video, etc. And the components are likely a fraction of the cost of traditional broadcast equipment. (PTZ cameras, podcast mics, Elgato controllers, etc...) The cost is high for what they blew up to replace them with. But the return on investment may be just enough to be a second voice in an ecosystem Nexstar created for themselves through relentless cost-cutting and consolidation. It's not prime time, but it's certainly better than simulcasting or giving up local content altogether...

WFRV has a 3:30 show that is very podcast-esque called "Local 5 News Off the Desk."

Beginning Monday, September 14th, WLWT will become the first station in Cincinnati television history to go a full hour of weeknight news at 7:00 p.m. It also becomes the first station, at least that I'm aware of, to announce that it will replace the now-canceled Access Hollywood (currently there at 7:30 p.m.) with an extra half-hour of local news. https://www.wlwt.com/article/wlwt-announces-newscast-expansion-730-pm-coming-this-fall/71590477

Liz Cho is anchoring solo tonight by the way for the 6pm. A teary Liz acknowledged Bill's departure today and she emphasized on how he will move on to a new role of doing reporting on Alzheimers from this point on. So tough to watch. . At least he will still be there with them for the time being as long as he's able to.

They're going to have to sell more than just two or three channels, especially since Paramount is, I believe, currently set to have the largest number of cable channels of any company. I'm thinking at least 10-15 channels. Also, they should be forced to choose between HBO (and HBO Max) and CNN. If anything, that requirement would reveal what David Ellison considers to be more important. Does he want to have the major premium channel and its associated streaming service, or does he want to appease Trump?

KODE in Joplin cause they have posted this. Also KFOR’s 6:30pm newscast is now a podcast style newscast called The Breakdown. https://www.youtube.com/live/GkIyMCz78zk?is=RAbqmpLz6SNVSuBl

World Cup causing some odd gaps in the usually continuous 4-7 block... whoever was anchoring the 4pm hour (on 9 due to the soccer) was cut off mid-trying to tell viewers presumably to turn over to 5 by the beginning of Family Feud (9 airs 8 episodes of Feud an evening, although I believe the only new episodes come at 7/7:30) This would be fine if the game hadn't run late and delayed the start of the 5 O'clock by 8 minutes, thus giving 8 minutes for people to end up finding and sticking on other newscasts or shows. Certainly they could've started on 9, simulcast up to, say, 5:30, then 9 could've left for Feud?

Brheanna Boudreaux is leaving WWL-TV at the end of the week to head back to Houston and this time, join KHOU 11 as evening anchor, mainly at 4:00pm. https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/brheanna-boudreaux-khou-11-22305865.php?utm_campaign=trueanthem%2B3985&utm_medium=social&utm_source=instagram

I doubt the EU will approve it.

Avery Cotton, longtime anchor and reporter at WFLA, is stepping down on Friday after 10 years at the station and it also sounds like she's leaving the business entirely. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1568416177983037&id=100044440089563

The title should say 22 billion. I knew it couldn't be for that little.

Fox buying Roku for that much is wild

It's official. Milwaukee's "Worst Kept Secret" has been revealed. Ousted WISN Meteorologist Lindsey Slater officially joined TMJ4. She will be on 4-6pm with Chief Met. Brian Niznansky during the week and aid with severe weather coverage.

The EU will prove the merger as the land down under Aussie has already approved the deal. And I believe that Ellisons will sell the some of the cable networks as I have heard there willing to sell nick or Cartoon Network.

I thought it was going to be Comcast that was going to be buying Roku. I didn't think it would've been FOX since they own Tubi I see them meagering Tubi & Roku in my opinion.

I initially disclosed it, but retracted it, as I forgot that I received it as kind of private info. I will say that it's debuting today at 5 CT. I'll post about it then.

And that station is...?

And I may be wrong about this, but I strongly believe they'll define "the best of TV and film" to be only new and current television and picture content, with everything old out of the question (meaning the classics are out, and it'll only be new and current).

Yes, which they advertised heavily immediately after the final buzzer. They could've probably went into breaking news once the first post-game ended and the main telecast was done, but remember that Inside the NBA had an interview with Jalen & Rick Brunson that most people watching probably wanted to see after the former won the MVP. You could be right about them having no choice though, as I'm sure both ESPN and Turner/WBD would've been a bit mad about losing Inside in the market of the champions. I would assume the opposite, that most people would stick with channel 7 rather than flip to another channel, especially since only channel 7 wouldve had the trophy presentation and the post-game interviews. Not to mention by that virtue they were also on the air the latest, their coverage ending around quarter to 2.

Bill went on GMA to talk about his diagnosis:
