Start of a KIRO Eyewitness News broadcast with Nerissa Williams at the end of this video - 8/12/88 KIMA News at 11, 2/7/02

Here is the official announcement from the news director which NewsBlues published on the 11th (in addition to Chris Cimino and the new anchor): Alex Lee will also be joining our morning team giving the viewers their morning traffic reports. Alex has been in the market for 10 plus years behind and on camera. For the past 7 years Alex has been connected with total traffic giving her a complete understanding of the market and the commuters needs.

Apparently btm0815ma's channel has been suspended. I saw a video from some other user urging YT to reinstate the channel.

Does anyone know what happened to btm0815ma's YouTube channel? I noticed that his videos of the CBS, ABC, NBC and PBS newscasts had disappeared.

You've missed this @CircleSeven, but I've talked a bit in the Discord about what Gray is doing. Gray buys LPTVs for two reasons: To provide UHF transmission in the core metro area for a VHF station that cannot move to the UHF band at full-power (what I call a "U-relay"). To provide additional translators, even for stations and regions where traditionally this has never been a consideration, at the outer edges of station coverage areas. I don't know how many LPTVs Gray is buying for ATSC 3.0, a la their Tallahassee test bed. However, I do believe the strategy also has to do with looking down the road and the idea of a more cellular signal topology (multiple transmitters ensuring a high SNR within the defined coverage circle of the primary station). Along the way, they get UHF sticks that can serve a high percentage (if not all) of the viewers of the DMA and their flat-panel indoor antennas and, where necessary, can serve as ATSC 3.0 transmitters if so desired. In Nashville, for instance, Gray has contracted to buy three different LPTVs: 15 Nashville, 29 Lebanon–Nashville, 29 Lewisburg. Lewisburg is a translator; it's toward the southern edge of the WSMV contour. 15 Nashville could easily be a U-relay. (RabbitEars lists the first two as U-relays already!) This is actually some cutting-edge stuff and shows that Gray sees value in improving signal coverage. It may be one of the largest efforts to commission new TV translators in 20 or so years at least, and a lot longer than that when considering the location in the eastern US of many of the stations that benefit.

Noticed this on the last episode of "Dexter." The character was in Florida watching WPIX.

This IG post from Alex Lee makes me wonder if we might see her doing traffic on WPIX? "Today will be my last time on the air with iHeart Media/Total Traffic & Weather Network - the company I have been with since 2014... I will miss being a part of @tmksespn on @987fm_espnnewyork every afternoon, and my mornings with the @abc7ny family, but I will not be going far, and can’t wait to tell you where you can tune in for your daily dose of Alex Lee! More on that soon….." https://www.instagram.com/p/CYFEN5PPgb0/
