Here's a really neat WJZ 1992 Eyewitness News opening I just saw; might be of particular interest to the ID Junkie for an update to the WJZ package.

Would give anything to see these ratings! Wish they were made public!

Tonight, WJW weekend anchor and longtime I-Team investigator Bill Sheil anchored his final newscast after 21 years at FOX 8. Prior to that, he worked at WEWS. https://fox8.com/news/bill-sheil-retires-after-21-year-career-at-fox-8/

Just wanted to quickly bump this thread and say that it looks like this logo will probably premiere on-air when the KTVA page is shut down. So, August 31st.

Ugh. I want to say so much. But I'll keep those comments to myself.

WTHR is getting more TEGNA-y

It's WTTV/WXIN and Indiana's loss, but for WGN and Chicago... that's their gain.

His first move should have been extending Good Day Charlotte from 5AM to 10AM Monday through Friday rather than contracting the hours on news broadcasting aired... The idea as Charlotte getting bigger in this rapid clip as it is poised to do is to make WJZY a more news-intensive major market Fox affiliate, not one that treats news like it's a second thought. I laugh at every move that Nexstar has made from the rush to shift the website to the obtuse usage of searchlights and kitebox when it should have been retired with the subtle over-the-air changes, to these moves of newscast hours reduction. It's going to make things worse rather than better for the station. Strangely enough, WSOC-TV has adopted a new on-air bug logo with the ABC logo attached to the main 9 logo in the lower right hand corner. Interesting it is airing during the ABC-Disney Television produced, Tamron Hall Show. See below in the attachment

Basically a demotion. What's not broken doesn't need to be fixed. But if PIX is trying to catch WABC and WNBC for top morning show between 4:30-7, they still have a long shot.

Alternate take: 4:30-7 is actually a very good time, considering (in normal times) everyone has to get up and ready for work/school. It's one of the most important timeslots for a news operation. At least Muller's back on the morning shift again.

Case in point: Jim Acosta. CNN needs to reassign him to a different role since apparently he's more interested in being a pundit than a journalist. It showed during today's WH briefing. He makes that network look bad.

To that point the morning shows have been doing a terrible job as well. They’ve got nothing to talk about after non-stop coverage of the virus for 3 weeks and the information is basically being regurgitated day after day.

KKTV anchor Don Ward died today while hiking, believed to be from a heart attack:

It's already happened.
