All of these talk shows just goes to show you how all of the other major Cleveland stations have cut back on their syndicated shows for newscasts or their other inbred efforts (cough cough Scripps, cough cough Tegna...)

Sky Sports News have their own coverage.

It appears that CBS & AT&T has reach a new deal, ending the three-week blackout on DirecTV, DirecTV Now and U-Verse.

New M&A. Entravision is buying a Harlingen, TX station, KMBH from MBTV Texas Valley, LLC, for $2.9M. Entravision already owns a Univision affiliate KNVO, and a plethora of LPs airing Fox & The CW. KMBH was a former PBS station, before it was sold to the current owners. But they kept the PBS feed, aibeit on the station's subchannel (38.2). I'm not sure how long that's going to last under Entravision's ownership.

News 12 BK/BX studios are in Soundview on Soundview Ave in the Bronx. HV/WC's studios is in LI's studios in Woodbury Crossings (weekend HV/WC's newscasts are done on the LI's main set), and CT's studio is in NJ's studios inat Edison.

The two video panels on the front of news desk were replaced.

Here's another full circle situation I realized about this merger: the deal would mark Gannett's effective re-entry into Oklahoma City after 22 years, since GateHouse already owns The Oklahoman, therefore making it the fourth local media property with ties to the area that Gannett has owned since 1978: * Through its purchase of Combined Communications, Gannett owned KOCO from 1979 to 1997; * Gannett also was allowed to own KFOR (then KTVY) and KOCO for a few months in 1986, as a result of the company's purchase of the Evening News Association, before spinning KTVY to Knight Ridder; * Finally, through its 1995 acquisition of Multimedia Inc., Gannett owned Multimedia Cablevision (which served as the cable provider for every Oklahoma City suburb, except for Forest Park, considering the town is closely aligned with Oklahoma City itself) from 1995 to 1999. (Since-repealed FCC rules barring the same company from owning a cable provider and a television station in the same market led to Gannett swapping KOCO and WLWT to Argyle Television, later merged into current owner Hearst, in exchange for WGRZ and WZZM.)

One more hour and they'll be able to wish Arizona a Good Afternoon at the end.

The before and after of the changes of the video wall set for in studio interviews and weather forecasts. In addition to changing the video panels to a solid screen they added two dark blue panels to the top and bottom on the right side.

Thanks, I think I was thinking of Fox when I wrote that post. I was talking about the monitors being replaced possibly due to screen burn in. @Eat News had posted that this was a problem with CNN when it launched, that many of their monitors had burnt in logos. I mentioned wasn’t there a network who had their logo move a little bit to prevent burn in? So @IceManNYR linked to an article about the old animating Fox News logo which is what I think I was thinking about, they animated it so there wouldn’t be screen burn in.

*2003 but yes:

The weekend anchors are back downstairs for the 11. And it looks like they've replaced the video wall behind them (no longer see the lines).

To me it looks like CBS News lost the lead graphics guy or firm that they used for the last few years. Both this and the current "This Morning" graphics are a huge step back both stylistically and in complexity. They remind me a lot of the chunky, small market looks the network had in the pre-Scott Pelley era.

She pulled off a rare feat in NY television: never got on the bad side of Suki.

For morning newscast they have ditched the "Traffic & Weather on the 2s" branding and reduced the amount of traffic reports. The full traffic reports were done at 5:15, 6:00. They did shorter "Commuter Alert" segments at 6:15, 6:22. 6:44. 6:53. Alex also did a segment called "Happening Today" at 4:38., 5:38, 6:36.
