Hearst is launching a new Sunday morning show. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/hearst-to-launch-sunday-morning-interview-show/155472

Scott Williams won a MidAtlantic Emmy for weather anchor Saturday night. Also, I believe Kathy Orr debuts tonight at 11PM on Fox 29 after the Prime Time Emmys.

I expected new graphics yesterday, but they instead debuted today. They're just an update of the 2013 look, and I love it.

Hey, I've been wrong before. But, hot damn, the new look is gorgeous. The lower thirds still aren't perfect (too high on the screen) and the new bug is iffy, but the headline cue, open, and use of the theme are infinitely better. I'll post a montage this evening, hopefully in HD.

Another upcoming retrans battle....this time it's Media General and DirecTV.... http://wlfi.com/2015/09/19/attention-directv-subscribers/ In the past, both companies have been good about negotiating. It started to change when DISH had the blackout two years ago. Now that DirecTV is under AT&T's control, and Media General is the former LIN in disguise...this has the potential to get ugly. LIN has had sparring matches with Mediacom, Dish and Time Warner (and Bright House) in the past resulting in month-long blackouts.

OK, see you in the hallways. I'm out.

No

Couldn't have happened to a better guy, congrats to Bruce.
