And to answer the question. He’s leaving https://www.axios.com/local/chicago/2026/04/27/fox-32-political-reporter-paris-schutz-is-leaving

Economic realities are what they are, and they aren’t pretty. Mergers and acquisitions may not be popular but they may be all that keeps some entities afloat at all, even for a comparably short period of time, because the old world is never coming back.

Joie is a good talent. I enjoy her Tik Tok lives. I hope she finds a solid gig after Tulsa. I believe is from the Chicago area, she has a distinct sounding accent that is germane to the midwest.

We got a big retirement coming up in WPB. Liz Quirantes has been the face of several generations across her 35 years at WPEC, including being a part of the station's version of their dream team from the late 90s to mid 2000s, which included Curt Fonger, John Matthews, and Pat Murphy. Today, she has announced her retirement after an amazing, wonderful run.

KAGS hasn't had their separate news operation in about three years. Newscasts are now a simulcast of KCEN.

David Chandley's final sign off after 42 years on Georgia (the only state he's ever worked at in his career) television, 38 in Atlanta, and the last 11 on WAGA FOX 5 Atlanta.

The rich kids got bored of their toy...

Here's an interesting new program coming next season on syndication... Front Office Sports Tonight. FOX O&Os are the main group to air them but it'll also be on other station groups such as Gray, Sinclair, and even Sunbeam (so possibly WSVN in my market and either WHDH or WLVI in Boston to carry it).

Been there, done that in Charlotte lol. But yeah

Way back when, Family Feud was on maybe once or twice a day on daytime and network TV. Nowadays, it's on up to 6 times a day BEFORE the network version even airs. And Steve Harvey has blown past the tenure of Richard Dawson by several years. Then again, Judge Judy is in repeats despite not producing a new episode in over 5 years, even against her successor program Judy Justice.

it said 'digital broadcast rights' only Two and a half Men was announced as 'digitial broadcast exclusive' so depending on how you think of that term. We'll see soon enough

It was already announced that Tony Dungy was no longer with NBC.

I like how they’re trying to make it realistic….if you look at the fake floor light next to the weather man/left window pane, it’s not glowing.

With this, they'll be Steeler connections all day Sunday this Fall with Bill Cowher on CBS, Terry Bradshaw on FOX, & now Mike Tomlin on NBC, wonder if someone (Jason Garrett perhaps) is getting the boot or is it an add-on.

Within two years. Which, again, gives them plenty of time to wait for the rules to be changed so they don't have to. If they get to keep it, that is.

The Onion outdid themselves today. I wouldn't put anything past AIPAC Bari though. https://theonion.com/bari-weiss-attempts-to-boost-ratings-by-kidnapping-tony-dokoupils-mom/

Read the filing page 18, he was allegedly at an illegal gambling arcade. Screenshot from a Facebook message from Someone working at the casino messaged to tell him to stop coming every night because it looks like he has gambling addiction and people are noticing. WINK having a stick up about the festive icons in the weather graphics is so funny. They tolerated his tardiness, complaints from staff having to pick up after him, for 2+ years but the festive weather icons mucking up the vibe of the graphs package broke them. Not the sketchy intern he brought in without telling anyone, who worked for 100 hours without pay All he had to do was not post on FB acting like he was shocked at being fired, even though he literally signed a paper acknowledging if his antics continued they might terminate him. $10k down the drain to respond to this

Just from seeing the social media discourse: a lot of the narriative his supporters have used on social media is "he was fired for long dinner breaks to be with his wife and kids." So that's their attempt to refute/counter that. More importantly, for the plaintiff's side, filing a lawsuit, especially in a place like Florida where public records are easily accessible, is fundamentally the equivalent of the scene in Mean Girls where Regina George throws copies of the Burn Book down the hallway. It is out there. It has been said. Even if that part of the lawsuit isn't allowed to be part of a possible trial in the future, that information can't be put back in the tube. As someone who worked at that station: It is a HUGE surprise the social media incident saying bad things about Publix in May 2025 wasn't the termination event. Publix LOVES television advertising, especially in local news. And you don't cause drama, needlessly, with an advertiser who generates that much revenue.

I knew that Mike Tomlin was going to go into broadcasting when he left the Steelers, I like Mike Tomlin he should do a good job as a broadcaster for the studio show for SNF On NBC.
