At least with WDLI, this means that they're going away for good. Ion is getting the license and the ability to take back WVPX to themselves, essentially.....unless they want to air even MORE Ion subchannels on zombie station WDLI!?!?!?!? Had the auction not happened, I bet WDLI and other TBN's would have sold out, eventually. The only beneficiary of the proceeds is the bankrupt owners of TBN probably throwing the money at their debtors.....

Today (May 23rd) marks 70 years since WCAU-TV channel 10 signed on the air in the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia. To celebrate, here is a WCAU open from 1977.

If you think starting news at 4:00 p.m. is early, then try starting at 3:00 p.m. WBBH is the next station to do it. (I would use my Twitter but the account is locked out at the moment). https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1152328311576072

A newscast with 3 white men replacing the one minority anchor with a white woman could've ruffled some feathers. Chicago is one of the markets where that's a thing.

I think it’s a first in the Eastern Time Zone; the only other one I know of is WTMJ.

Look what I found today! Seems 6 was considering hiring the animator behind the recent Tribune package before taking the rebrand in-house!

Truth be told, I'm shocked they didn't just order daily versions of Match Game and Pyramid for 1PM instead. The nighttime versions are solid, they both tape in New York and I have to think it's cheaper than hiring a whole new crew at ABC News for this.

First broadcast from CNN center 1987. And here's the promo.

I recently came across this... http://www.kbtx.com/content/misc/KBTX-60th-Anniversary-Photo-Album-411377435.html This page contains some photos and videos. One of the videos includes a news open from KBTX's "Dimension 3 News" era in the late 1970s.

That makes sense.

They'll probably just use WDLI for Ion Life, just like WLWC.

Sounds like the ND is trying to avoid bad publicity about the safety of his reporters, but is instead getting bad publicity for how he's reacting to it. The hostility is totally unwarranted.
