I wish CNN would go back it’s Roots in Atlanta and back to the hard news format that made it a household name. When CNN moved majority of its shows to NY that was the beginning of the decline. It’s probably wishful thinking, But I would love to hear Live from “The CNN World Headquarters in Atlanta”

Oh, glad to see that the former Meredith stations have gone from their clunky, hard-to-use listings service to Titan.

TV Passport has WSHM airing DailyMailTV at 7:30, a case of obvious filler as that has been axed too. WFSB doesn't need more newscasts. They need a B anchor team to replace the one that became the A team by default. I know Gray can be cheap but this has persisted for way too long.

Don’t forget KAUZ they haven’t gotten the new graphics yet either.

A 10PM news teaser open & first few minutes of a 10PM newscast from KMTV-TV, Ch. 3 in Omaha, NE, from February 4, 1986. This was about 5 months before the switched networks from NBC to CBS. I found this, recorded in Beta III speed, on a Scotch Beta Tape that I got off of eBay.

Didn't they just hire Jeff Andrews from WAOW a few months ago to be their chief? They seem to go through chiefs (and talent in general) like infants go through diapers. Not to mention, the previous chief, Jason Lindsay, didn't last long in that position either. TG should rent, not buy, once Morris finds out he's not moving the needle.

Glad that he's now permanent as the executive producer. He's done a lot of good things with the show in the short time he's been there.

And now Jeopardy! too has a new executive producer replacing Mike Richards -- Michael Davies, former EP of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.

It sad it’s truly a shame black peoples need their own TV networks just like how Hispanics have Univision and Telemundo and in English some younger Latino programming. This isn’t about racial segregation it wasn’t that it is about that blacks have no voice in America. White and Hispanic media don’t cover us well, and we need our views amplified like the former show on BNC. We need our own network owned by black also I firmly believe blacks should own their media, not a white person running it like at BET, which lost its spark a long time ago.

Some changes at WHAS. They've killed their morning brand of "Wake Up" and reverted to "Good Morning Kentuckiana" which is what they were for like 30 years before changing in 2019. They've also returned to two anchor newscasts at 4 and 5:30 pm, something else that was abandoned several years ago. The updated open has also been rolled out.

Licht is an excellent choice. He made CBS This Morning a legit news program worth watching and improved Late Show with Stephen Colbert into a must-watch and genuinely funny late-night talk show. When his tenure goes into effect, I'll definitely watch CNN regularly again.

That's...not a terrible pick. I'm shocked.

That was my favorite graphics package too. KGO had something similar by (I believe Hothaus) but instead of yellow, it was a white themed elements. KFMB used the same KGO package as well but only for its opening sequence (2005-2013) https://jonberrydesign.com/kabceyewitnessnews

I think Byron Allen would've been better merger than Apollo/Standard General in my opinion.

WKYC has turned What Matters Most from a newscast name into an overall station slogan. The 6pm news tonight was identified as "3News at 6" instead of What Matters Most.

why did they turn down Bryon Allen, that's what I want to know.

I wonder if they will also keep the Tegna name? Regardless, hedge fund owners are always bad news.

Kent Dana has died. He was 80. https://www.azcentral.com/story/entertainment/media/2022/04/19/kent-dana-legendary-anchor-three-phoenix-tv-news-stations-dies/7362375001/

This is like going from MG’s last graphics package (WCMH, WFLA, WKRN) to Nexstar NBC graphics, a package that is the symbol of failure. Great job, Gray.
