Outside CBS, you just need Paramount+ because of all the repeats on their channels, and if there's a customer that'll walk because you lost MTV2 and Spongebobnet....I mean Nicktoons, they're beyond help.

There was that episode back in 2008, IIRC, where they hired another meteorologist to tag team the weather with Jym. It was a huge mistake. He certainly went through ups and downs at WCMH. A great man indeed.

Google has always been a good "cable" operator. They told Diamond to take a hike with their RSNs and have had relatively few disruptions. The only notable one I can recall was the Disney one in 2021 that took down their channels for a day or two.

CBS clearly asking Google to bail them out of their debts and Google is telling them to take a hike. Probably the first time in a while I'll side with Google here

Top 10 markets for Super Bowl 59: WTXF, WDAF (obviously those two), WBFF, WRLH, WVBT, WXIX, WITI, WPGH, WVUE (host city), and WFLX. (via @FOXSportsPR on X)

Am I serious about what? I was unaware that Tamron Hall relocated to the new studio. Everybody doesn’t know everything, and thank you for informing me. There’s a more polite way that you could have informed me of that, instead of your usual sarcasm. Again, If you’re going to respond to anything I post check your tone first. I always reply to people respectfully on this thread, give me the same courtesy. You aside, the new studios are terrific so far. The lighting on The View also looks very good. Hoping the upcoming WABC set is just as great.

A major loss for sure and one of the legends of the Columbus TV market. I still think he was pushed out at WCMH and his return to TV was as soon as he was able to. One of the many reasons ABC 6 & FOX 28 have become the new stations of record after NBC4 and 10TV's missteps and selling out to the highest bidder.

Columbus weather legend Jym Ganahl has passed at 76. He came to WCMH in 1979 from KWWL, one of the youngest TV meteorologists in the nation. He 'retired" from WCMH in 2016. After a year, he returned to the air on WSYX/WTTE, retiring last year. This is a huge loss. His 'weather lore' was the best. RIP Jym.

KTVU's A Second Look from 2008 honoring Dennis Richmond on the year he retired. Appropriate to bring this back considering his passing.

One of the young voices in Kansas City's Spanish-speaking media died while on Super Bowl duty in New Orleans. He did play-by-play for the women's soccer team and sideline reporting at Chiefs games. https://fox4kc.com/sports/kansas-city-sports-reporter-dies-while-in-new-orleans-for-super-bowl-lix/ Update: woman arrested for using his credit cards https://fox4kc.com/news/louisiana-woman-arrested-following-kansas-city-reporters-death-in-new-orleans/

KTVU threw away its noon news format today and devoted the entire hour-long broadcast as a tribute to Mr. Richmond.

From Oakland: KTVU's Dennis Richmond has passed at age 81.

Longtime play-by-play voice of the Milwaukee Brewers & the PBP voice in the Major League movies, Bob Uecker has passed away at the age of 90.

If Aaron stayed at ABC, I believe he would have inherited the World News Tonight anchor chair when Jennings passed. From his former World News Now co-anchor Lisa McRee, via IG:
