Why do you all think it's a bad move? It there some financial reason you are aware of that you are not sharing with Tegna or the others here? How does moving the show to another channel diminish the quality of the show? Is the sound or picture going to be worse on MYTV? I'm pretty sure the show will still be the same...and have the same production values. Why earth does the viewer even care if it's on MyTV? Do our fickle viewers somehow feel insulted or degraded since it's on MYTV? I bet those viewers can figure out how to change the channel... Kelly will get over those hurt feelings that Live will feel after being so brutally banished to MYTV after 30 years on WWL. Maybe when they get their act together...and compensate WWL for it's valuable air time..."Live" might be able to return to WWL in it's coveted slot. Come on guys... It's only a TV show...it has NO FEELINGS. Kelly and Regis will get over being "dissed" after a few days.

Thank you, Marvin.

The Weekend is here, AFC/NFC Championship this Sunday, enjoy it all. Have a good weekend, good golf, good tennis, or whatever makes you happy!

This is already very disturbing even by Ernest Angley standards. I’m actually reluctant to see the second part.

Why couldn't they just do a reformulated newsroom set?

The lower thirds were made available in a network package that was used by several local stations including KLBK and KVAL.

These clips of Chattanooga newscasts from November 1997 show that WDEF was still using People You Can Count On after Media General bought Park:

Wow, WWL. They should've premiered the show in the fall of 2019 or back in September of last year, but this Monday?! First, they moved the 7-9am block of Eyewitness Morning News in 2016, and now they're moving "Live!" - a popular daytime show that's been airing on the station for 30 years (since the show was syndicated) after the news - to a little-watched MyTV affiliate. Bad move.

Marrrrrvin Zindler..... Eyeeeeeewitness News!

WWL has made a very smart move here... Keep those local ad dollars at home...and under the Tenga roof. I don't think Tegna has been passing these shows off as some kind of newscast. Sure there is a news element inside the shows such as a headlines and wx segment, but the rest is just ads. Mira, Your morning newscast is produced by your news department and it's operating budget is under news. The sales department sells spots on this show to support the Tv station. The concept of the "lifestyle" show is very simple. Many small businesses cannot afford to buy a whole entire "run" of commercials. 50 commercials can run $50,000 in a medium size market...that's a lot of money for some mom and pop coffee house that only wants maybe 1 commercial previewing their new location or flavor of grind. The TV stations figured out that besides all the humane societies pimping puppies, and other "non-profits" out there looking for publicity; there was a whole bunch of others(advertisers) wanting to get on those shows who would pay to be on for just a few mins. "How about a nice 5 minute interview and product demo with our fine hostess for say.....$2500? ... Spend $4000 and I will give you a live truck at your location for that product demo." I run this all under a separate budget non-news budget so we can keep the ND happy about the lifestyle show "creeping" into his news barn....keeping news and lifestyle in different columns. As far as ABC goes... Money talks...and Tegna is fairly sure they will make more money this way. It's a very wise move that keeps the money local.

KDKA 70 years nostalgia.

Please forgive me ...I have committed many sins and many felonies.... Grrrrr....I'm a tiger burning up with your love...Grrrrrr!

It’s the toupee, it makes him 40 years younger. Oh wait.

Well...the Ernest Angley saga has taken a disturbing turn.... I'll leave it at this article posted in today's Akron Beacon Journal (and it's only the first part!) https://www.ohio.com/news/20190119/rev-ernest-angley-admitted-sexual-encounter
