  1. (H/T to VARTV) Long-time WVEC anchors/reporters Joe Flanagan and Velma Scaife are taking early retirement buyouts from TEGNA. Both have been with the station for 30+ years... Last day? April 22.

  3. I don't recall, but in all likelihood, she probably has filled in at least once (or more) before given she's been there since the 80s. Even though she plans on cutting back, she may fill in at 5P more often. An extra 30 mins. now and then wouldn't be asking too much.

  4. Piacente is going to have his hands full when he starts next week. I could see him making this new newscast his pet project (which wouldn't be a bad idea). They really are going to have to offer up something drastically different to draw viewers in. Best of luck to them...

  5. Here another reporter going to the retirement center. WCVB/Boston's Jack Harper after 34 years. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/wcvb-reporter-jack-harper-to-retire-after-34-years/168365 http://www.bostonglobe.com/lifestyle/names/2016/04/13/after-more-than-three-decades-wcvb-reporter-jack-harper-retiring/pH5qzt4u6s3xdOahuP6t2M/story.html?s_campaign=bostonglobe%3Asocialflow%3Afacebook

  6. Now Feder is saying this morning that WFLD could be implementing a new 5pm newscast this summer. Should this come into fruition, this would be the last Fox O&O to implement an early evening broadcast.

  7. You know you could have reported that right?

  8. No, no. I like multiple teams on an evening slate of broadcasts; my station of choice mixes and matches 6 evening anchors across 5 broadcasts. However, I think if a station airs a full hour at 4, 5, 6, whenever, the same 2 anchors should carry the whole program, and not switch one or both out halfway through.

  9. 30 minutes shifts on 60 minute broadcasts bugs the crap out of me. Are they separately-branded broadcasts (not that that makes it any better)?

  11. Well, she's not heading to NBC. Macedo is joining ABC News to anchor World News Now & America This Morning.
