A very bittersweet day here in the SusquValley as 42-year veteran of WHTM-TV, Chuck Rhodes, the dean of weather forecasting ... is retiring. It is effective April 30th. On a personal note, he was the one that helped my interest in weather. I would be remiss to not say that I'm sad to hear this news. But to everything there is a time, season for everything. I wish him the best. Class act. Class talent. Great guy. http://abc27.com/2015/04/02/chuck-rhodes-announces-plan-for-retirement/ -- Matt

Good point. I never heard of that site. Good work gumshoe. -- Matt

Haha ... yeah. Maybe it is a new logo. So, I checked Wiki and the old bland logo is there. Maybe I have an exclusive on something. Haha. -- Matt

Caught this on the 6ABC online feed this evening. Anyone know what this PHL logo is?? I Know it's for Philadelphia. Could this be a new logo for PHL17?? I thought that it might be the tourism logo for Philadelphia, but it's not. -- Matt

For me, as a dog lover, the only thing that saved that was Wrangler. I LOVE THAT PUP!!!! Excuse me please, I need a moment. I just saw Kathie Lee on the screen ... /grabs puke bucket -- Matt

So, Matt Lauer wants the TODAY tradition to continue to cocktail hour at 10AM?! Well Played Mayans. -- Matt

Still waiting on WHP/WLYH to get the new graphics package ... -- Matt

I miss that theme and that open. 17 years old and that still is one of the best TV news themes ... ever. And that open, iconic. -- Matt

Sorry, but this Social Square thing is a bit tacky ... Yeah, I'm all over social media, but come on. Social Slot Machine?! Jeez. -- matt

That KAVU open is pretty sad.

"Shortly after taking the job late last fall, Humphries said in a company press release, "I feel like someone gave me the keys to the Bentley and said don't bring it back with a scratch on it." -- matt
