Eyewitness News?

We all have have our feelings about Al (obviously), but you cannot deny that he was absolutely correct about the Ryan Lochte situation. He said what we all thought loud and clear, and what Bush did to change around the ordeal for an interview during the interview was absolutely wrong (pathetic even). I know Bush is not a true journalist (you don't need Robin Red to tell you); but even as an entertainment reporter, he really seemed desperate to get Lochte to change his story/actions after the incident to make the latter look like a victim and clear the misconceptions about the network's Olympics coverage, and foolishly winded up making Lochte look even more like a disgrace (to his swimming team, Team USA as a whole, the people/city of Rio and his country), himself look like an idiot, the coverage still divisive, and his bosses look like half-wit numbskulls. Whether Roker grinds your gears or not, you gotta admit he was right to speak the truth and call Bush out about it. And the fact that the executives are "embarrassed" about it and tried their hardest to shush Al straight after says so much now about them than I ever thought before. Plus, the fact that Bush told Al to "calm down" made me angry and want to track him down and smack him on the head like Al looked like he wanted to do.

I'm busy on the 12th, can we move it to the 9th or 23rd? call me/ text me Others say I have "sway".

I hope he dosen't say Ohio. We already know that WCPO is doing ok, so... Any bets on ABC5 News?!?

Teresa Weakley is on her way to 24 News8 aka WOOD-TV. http://talkintv.buffalonews.com/2016/08/24/ch-4-anchor-weakley-exiting-headed-bigger-market-three-years/

You didn't really say much of anything... They have 30 or so stations.. A rebrand could be for anything... Even a state would have said something...

More turmoil at WOIO... http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/8/25/drama-in-the-morning-in-cleveland

She reads the headlines at 7:15ish and also reads the headlines at 8:00. They still call it a special split edition of Today, evan though 90 % is coming from Rio. She is only on air for around 15 combined minutes of the entire show. The really just having her come on to remind viewers who do not normally watch the show that Savannah is still the co-Anchor. The coverage as been really well put together overall! I think they really made an effort to make the show good and they handle Savannah not being their in rio very well with when they have come to read the news!!

And it should be noted that every TV News talent agent knew of that opening before the actual job was posted. Keeping that couch warm and ready.

That posting has been up since May, probably when they began the search for the new sports anchor. They're required to post job openings publicly even if they intend to offer it to an internal candidate. That's all it means.
