He needs to go, along with Jeff Zucker and Brian Stelter - who really stuck his neck out for Chris, especially with the whole "many people here understand why he (Chris) did what he did, plus his office is several floors above the newsroom...".as if location of someones office would prevent them from controlling/interfering with coverage. And who could forget "if we open up the journalism ethics book, there's no rule for this" (referring to Chris not covering Andrews accusations). Can't wait to hear what Zucker's fiction writers come up with for Brian to say Sunday and somehow defend all of this making Chris look good. I hope Jake Tapper takes over the time slot, if not him maybe an external hire would be best. Clearly CNN needs new leadership and some cleaning.

Brian Williams anyone? Kidding....

I'm not so sure there won't be a KDLT-style waiver attempted here for a duopoly. The article published by KVRR seems to imply such. https://www.kvrr.com/2021/11/30/red-river-broadcast-forum-communications-reach-purchase-agreement-for-fargo-duluth-tv-stations/

Cuomo now under indefinite suspension. This year, the 23rd falls on a Thursday, leaving it or Christmas Eve perfect for an inevitable firing via news dump.

Living in the market, it was only a matter of time, and sorry that I don't keep up on the Speculatron as much as I should... My pipe theory was that it would be Nexstar (who has CBS for the state outside of Fargo) who would then do an affiliation swap to get CBS from Gray (Who has Fox for ND outside of Fargo). It is unfortunate that there will only be two broadcast TV Voices in the market going forward, but in their presser, local ownership was a driving factor... Which can be appreciated, right?

She’s stepping away from doing morning traffic but will still be a part of the extended NBC New York family and will pop up on TINY from time to time

This listing is for KABC, not WABC. That said, I saw producer listing for WLS Chicago, hiring for streaming-only newscasts, so it appears that ABC has something brewing.

Emily West will more likely become the new full time traffic reporter. I hope get she gets the gig. She blends very well with the team while Lauren is out. (Congratulations to Lauren). Personally, I don't like the WCBS format of having anchors do the traffic report. WABC with the News at 4 does a brief report at 4:15 and that should only be the standard if anchors were to do traffic reports. I get it traffic reporters are hard to find. But, for New York traffic you need a seasoned veteran reporter who knows the layout of NYC traffic.
