  1. It's not. I would know. I've only been actively watching WLS for more than 20 years.

  2. For 50 years, Bob Turk has been a Baltimore Institution when it comes to weather. And I know Jerry and Al are smiling in heaven saluting him for the 5 decades at 'JZ.

  3. This is Lori's last and final week on air. Still quite stunning that she is effectively done with Broadcast Journalism. It will be nice to see what kind of tribute will be given to her. I personally will miss her dearly, she really is a class act, honestly I always felt that WABC was the place for Lori she just was a better fit for that station but nonetheless at least she spread her wings a bit and tried something new at WNYW with Good Day New York and Rosanna and of course her ultimate wish, anchoring the primetime 6pm newscast which she achieved. I'm truly happy for Lori she deserves a beautiful retirement especially after all of the hardwork and dedication she has put for all the years she's been on TV. What a career! Good for her she will be missed dearly!

  6. Is the weekend morning spot vacant? I honestly don’t remember as I feel 3 has gone through so many meteorologists in the past few years.

  9. It's an outdated rule Sinclair & Nexstar should take The FCC to court and not pay the fine either I wouldn't if I owned either Sinclair or Nexstar. And if I was on The FCC I'd have voted for no fine Jessica abused her power as she knows this clearly is an outdated rule that needs to go like the DINO. And I blame this rule why there is no Sat morning cartoons on FOX, ABC, NBC, CBS, The CW anymore I know even if the outdated rule does go bye, bye, bye broadcast isn't going to air Sat morning cartoons. Which Sat morning cartoons would be better than the nature/E/I crap that no one watches.

  10. Not to derail, but I always though the true World News Tonight format of London/New York/Washington/Chicago was perfect, though it didn't really account well for the West Coast just because of satellites at the time, and then when everyone shifted to New York, East Coast Bias became too overwhelming. Then CNN bailed out of Atlanta (itself a developing city) once TW bought it, and lost its way to become another ECB outpost. DC is just way overcovered as it is. Like the "TOM" problem of Canadian news where everything along the 401/A20 is over-covered to death and establishing a Vancouver evening news presence just hasn't worked, I'd love to see a true Western Edition, from Los Angeles. Maybe we'll get that this decade; they already have begun to air the Eastern feed live, so that seems like the next natural step.

  11. Well, the networks already have a newscast of sorts running from D.C.--all the sunday talk shows--and Andrea Mitchell hosts her MSNBC hour from there too.

  14. The ghost of KidsClick continues to haunt Sinclair years later: The FCC is planning a massive fine of over $3 million over Hot Wheels commercials played during the block.

  16. I do care, or at least I did, it's kind of an offbeat hobby of mine, local-news presentation, especially Los Angeles stations, that's my home base. As for new CBS O&O graphics, or for ABC's too, following this is like kicking the dust where a dead horse used to lie.

  17. I would argue that an evening news program is best suited in DC versus NYC.

  18. The Good Karma-owned radio side of WTMJ, WKTI and WGKB is moving out after today. It's amazing how much empty space involving studios and offices the merger with Scripps left behind when you also consider the Journal Sentinel moved out of 4th & State after being Gannetted, and they already had an entire building which used to have the Sentinel pretty much emptied before then. Honestly I can see WTMJ (not counting WPXE as that's really just an IPTV rack) do what WDJT and WVTV already did and eventually relocate into a more appropriate and existing building they can mold the space into over remodeling Radio City, even with all that space now vacant.

  19. I remember back in 90s Carole Simpson would Anchor World News On the Weekends from Washington. I think Each Network should have a least one Newscast originating from DC; there’s too much News in that City to not have a Flagship Newscast.

  20. Just to show how short staffed CBS3 is right now, they had Kate fill in all day Saturday and Llarisa fill in all day Sunday for weather (and is still on this morning!) Also, with Jim and Janelle off this morning, Howard Monroe is filling in, in addition to Natasha still in for Jim, along with Victoria Woodill doing traffic.
