Don't tell me we're at this again! http://wvxu.org/post/new-owners-charter-cable#stream/0

It's the Weekend Report from NewsCenter 13...KLBK in Lubbock, from 1983: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcO38Nkw8W8

The best part of Jerry doing the Saturday late show is that his first segment followed a Hungry Hound burger feature. "[My cardiologist] probably turned off the TV when Steve came on."

It currently airs at 8:30. Basically it is swtiching the 8 am hour with 9 am but reversing the time of LXTV starts.

The Fox 10 News NOW is an interesting concept and has gained national and I think international attention with their mix of "raw" video. Any word if it will be like the online version? Coming from that cramped "broom cupboard" (as the BBC folks say) or the news studio.

Where is Emily Smith? I did not see a goodbye but not on website anymore?

I would do: Patrick: Weekends and Mon-Wed 4pm Dick: Mon-Fri 5pm and Thurs-Fri 4pm Rob: Mon-Fri 6pm and 10pm Even before Rob comes back, I'd try to work Patrick into the 4pm news three days a week. I don't really see a power struggle, especially if you were to cement Dick into a permanent role at 5pm and two days a week at 4pm.

That's true. I do have to say I've quite enjoyed seeing more of Dick Johnson. I've always liked Dick and felt he got the short end of the stick when it came to anchor positions. Yes, he tumbles a little from time to time but his marathon anchoring has made me have quite a lot of respect for him.

That seems like an awful long time, especially with the new TV season premiering 2 months before that. I'd guess that they want Rob to come back and settle in, so they don't give the impression of a power struggle between Dick and Patrick.

Sounds like WESH is ready to move up Summer Knowles after trying to bump Angela Taylor to weekends. It didn't go over too well... https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2017/8/4/going-down-in-o-town

Another Jim Vance tribute upload from NewsActive3's channel, and most likely the oldest footage of Vance - from shortly after he started at WRC in 1969

So Chandi Lowry appears to be at some weird, small desk, someone (I'm assuming at the studio) and not the PPL Center - but the PPL Center was used for the morning show this morning. Very odd.

Jerry is filling in for Phil tonight.

Lol!! It made for a good laugh after a stressful work week!

A We're the Team promo set...for WRC, the original client! Another WRC promo, this time from 1980... "We Can't Wait to Show You!" (You can hear how this tagline was worked into the We're the Team promos.) And the highest-quality cut you'll get of WRC 1986: Did WMAQ ever use this?

I saw on their Facebook page, or maybe it was on Alex's Facebook page, that Marion confirmed that Patrick Fazio will join her at 4pm. But it won't be right away. Maybe in time for sweeps?

Cable station 6 News in Lawrence, KS formally shut down its news operations today. It had been a staple in the community for 45 years. All of its shows will be preserved and kept at a museum at the University of Kansas. The station was bought my Minnesota -based Midco last year/early this year and was told a few months ago that they would be shutting down its news operations and transform the station into a regional sports network.

This guy was good and trusted, just like Harvey, Don Kent and Bruce. He will be severely missed.

They'd probably have Mission acquire WHDF and then enter into an SSA to operate it.

That's called sleeping in...

Don't forget Cleveland with WEWS. Kinda sad that the station "First In Ohio" is having to compete for table scraps with "Snoozefest 19".

Vintage WRC News 4 (In the memory, honor and in tribute to Jim Vance).

I hate Pai and Sessions but did they kill your cat and hurt your family?
