Diane Pathieu filled in for Mark Rivera today and I gotta tell you, It was a nice change to see her and ironically, I didn't want her to get the seat perm a year ago, but now I wish she did. She seems less fake than Mark.

KVVU TV's logo is a ripoff of WNYW's old logo

I say Nexstar(or Sinclair) falls apart simply because it got so big that nobody could buy it...and I hope the goverment allows it to fail. No bail outs. Let it crash and burn so real entrepreneurs can try something new that can serve local markets better. The sooner it happens the better. Speculation can be very costly as Sinclair my soon attest to, TV stations groups should never be considered too big to fail. I see this whole Sinclair mess as being the "warning shot" that the FCC has fired across the bow of all the large station groups. I support comprehensive television reform.

Sunday Night Baseball's Jessica Mendoza.

The ensemble this morning was Dan, Diane Macedo, and Whit Johnson coanchoring, with Adrienne doing Pop News and Ron doing news. No Rob. Last week, a woman from ESPN was in as the third co-anchor. Forgot her name.

Just saw-- well done!

From Denver, here's KMGH in its final days as a CBS affiliate, 1995:

ABC and one of its classic Saturday afternoon bowling broadcasts (from 1990) with Chris Schenkel hosting from Las Vegas. The Edd Kalehoff theme and the 3D intro are awesome!

The CW audience aren't really big news or sports viewers and The CW is probably happy that its programs are seen at its mandatory time in market number 3.

The release from ABC suggests the intention is to free up her schedule by removing her from regular anchoring duties. So, unless they do a 180, it seems unlikely that she'd end up with a host role for the third hour. Maybe. But serving as White House Correspondent is a pretty high-profile gig, especially with the current administration. And she is already a regular fill-in on weekday GMA. Giving those things up to be anchor of weekend GMA might amount to a demotion, unless she prefers it.

In which case, they could hire Sam Champion to take over Pop News. Lol. He had been filling in for her several times recently. Hey, stranger things have happened.

....Until 2014. Fiore now works for FOX Sports since 2015, recently seen with World Cup Coverage. https://www.mediamoves.com/2014/07/fernando-fiore-quits-univision.html http://www.foxsports.com/presspass/latest-news/2016/02/09/emmy-award-winning-broadcaster-fernando-fiore-joins-fox-sports-expanding-soccer-coverage

Clip of a news segment of Noticias 41 from around 1988 or 1989 featuring Maria Celeste Arraras and Fernando Fiore. Maria currently works for Telemundo while Fernando works as a sports Anchor for Univision Deportes.

Didn't realize KCRA licensed its 'where the news comes first' trademark to another station (KSDK). They both use the registered trademark symbol, and in the trademark database KCRA and Hearst are the only entries dating back to the early 80s.
