Took me a while but here it is - 20 mins worth of Pittsburgh news history!

Given how much WUAB has been treated as a doormat under Raycom, this is a very pleasant surprise. I didn't expect any acknowledgement of their 50th anniversary. Of course Ramona Robinson returned to 19/43 in 2012, Jack Marshall retired not long ago after a stint at WEWS, Sally Bernier does holiday relief duties at WJW alongside her husband Andre, Jeff Phelps is at WKRK 92.3 The Fan and Fox Sports Ohio, Ron Jantz left the business to work and teach at Lorain County Community College, Dan Deely is at WNWV The Wave, and RIP Gib Shanley.

WUAB is planning 50th anniversary special on Monday night during its 10pm hour. It'll be a reunion of its 1990s news team followed by half-hour retrospective of the station's history. http://www.cleveland19.com/2018/09/12/special-night-programming-cw-celebrates-years-wuab/

The deal is done. WZBJ is all Gray now.

I gotta say, that's kind of...a petty thing to say. None of those things should matter.

New M&A from Brady tonight. He wants to acquire WNYS outright for $100K. Brady already owns WSYT Fox 68 in Central NY.

KGW 11pm news from December of '88.

Case in point. I had a vision that KDAF and KIAH would get back into the news business. For Example, what if KDAF and KIAH ask Tegna stations WFAA and KHOU to produce newscasts for their station. KDAF/WFAA - News 8 Daybreak on CW33 (7-9AM) Repeat of News 8 Midday (12-1PM) and News 8 at 9 on CW33 (9-10PM) KHOU/KIAH - KHOU 11 News This Morning on CW39 (7-9AM) KHOU 11 News at 3 on CW39 (3-3:30PM or 3-4PM) and KHOU 11 News at 9 on CW39 (9-10PM) Good Idea or Bad Idea?
