Any idea on tho would fill Terri's spot as anchor and who will take the helm as chief meteorologist at KVUE 24?

That last segment in the WCIX (WFOR) Newsbreak; Shelly Jamison of KTSP (KSAZ) was out of the job for posing for Playboy.

IMO, Sinclair should have been fined more than that, as well as lose ownership licenses to stations they owned and/or forced to sell some or a few stations.

Remembering Al Sanders... 25 years ago today.

For anybody who grew up watching Baltimore television news in the 70's, 80's, and 90's, you'll know the one name familiar to Baltimore and WJZ is Al Sanders. Hard to believe, it is now been 25 years ago today that the city of Baltimore and WJZ would never be the same of that emotional and difficult day. Al Sanders was diagnosed with lung cancer in March of '95, but after just six or seven weeks of chemotherapy and intensive care, he lost the battle at the age 54. Al worked at WJZ 13 from 1972 as a weekend anchor/weekday reporter before joining up with his friend, the late great Jerry Turner in 1977. From 1977 to '87, Jerry and Al became on the most successful anchor teams in Baltimore TV history. Turner and Sanders were Baltimore's top news team until 1987, when Turner succumbed to esophageal cancer on New Year's Eve (12/31/87). Longtime WJZ anchor/reporter and Al's colleague, Denise Koch joined Sanders on the anchor desk as a fill-in, gaining the role permanently in early 1988. Sanders won Emmy Awards in 1993 and 1994 for his regularly featured specialty report, "Picture This." For anybody who watches Al Sanders, he was the real reason why we as local news fans and viewers turn to get the facts and get it right. Al was a tough reporter, but incredibility sensitive. Tradition minded, but he loved the free expression of Jazz music. Al Sanders did not have the kind of ego that most people associated with anchorman, he worked hard. If that meant covering a big story on his day off, that was fine with him. And above all, he wanted to report things that matted to people. Today, we local news fans honored and remembered and pay tribute to Al Sanders on this day, the man who put WJZ on the map in his 23 years at the station, the man who maintained his calm, and led the newsroom and the WJZ Eyewitness News team when the worst breaking news is happening. He taught us to focus on what need to be done to make sure you got the news coverage you can count on and deserve. RIP Al Sanders... And Godspeed.

Compare to the '87 & 88 intro of WSVN's 11pm News intro. You'll notice the difference in the NewsCenter 7 Tonight opening. The NBC peacock on their Satellite truck (Skycom 7) in the 1988 11pm open was removed knowing that 'SVN is losing its NBC affiliate to 'TVJ in 1989.

In the memory and in tribute to Ed Carter. RIP Ed, and Godspeed.

WIS News 10 still broadcasts its 7:00pm newscasts.

I still got hope for Standard Media buying Tegna.

WFAA and KHOU got new web layouts today.

In the memory and in tribute to WISN's Mike Anderson. RIP Mike, and Godspeed.

I really thought we were going to see the reboot of "The Tube"... but, I guess it's not to be.

15 years ago today...

Houston's NBC 2 (KPRC) has hired NBC 5 (KXAS) Anchor/Report Kris Gutierrez to succeed the now retired Bill Balleza as the main anchor for The Channel 2 News at 5:00, 6:00 and 10:00pm. Kris is no stranger to KPRC, he worked at the NBC station from 2003-07. His first day as the new anchor is next week (March 30th).

You guys and gals left out KENS 5. They still use the Eyewitness News brand.

I don't like it not one damn bit!

Doug Dunbar (CBS 11/KTVT) now anchoring The CBS Evening News tonight from the KTVT studios.

More vintage Detroit TV... WJBK Eyewitness News (CBS Era).

I still have my money on Allen Media buying Tegna. I also have doubts if Apollo buys Tegna, but if Standard still in play... will see.

At least Tegna still has WBNS AM/FM.

Last night, KXAS expanded their 10:00 newscasts because of the coronavirus coverage. And WFAA distance their anchors on the newscasts.

WCTX is becoming Southern New England's new KCAL 9.

An end of an era in Cedar Rapids... KCRG's Bruce Aune has signed off for the last time. Happy Retirement, Bruce and Godspeed. https://www.kcrg.com/content/news/KCRG-TV9-celebrates-Brune-Aunes-last-day-at-the-anchor-desk-568567551.html
