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.

Tegna has completed its acquisition of KTBU in Houston, giving KHOU 11 a sister station. KTBU has dropped Mega TV and is now carrying Tegna’s Quest on 55.1. Quest previously was carried on 11.4. 

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.

Being from Indiana and watching WTHR growing up, I can officially say this: If they drop the "Eyewitness News" Brand,  BIG MISTAKE TEGNA

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.

Didn't realize KCBS went through a "let's copy the legacy KABC set" phase

 

Right around when KABC updated its set to be more like KNBCs...

 

 

And on top of that, KCBS copied their news intro from CBS This Morning.

This is the second time that a tornado hit Music City. The last time a tornado hit Nashville was 22 years ago (April 16, 1998).

Former WFAA Anchor/Reporter Todd Unger joined KXXV 25ABC as the stations main anchor. His first day on the air was yesterday.

Would you believe on this leap year, it's been four years since Raleigh-Durham's WNCN and WRAL switched network affiliations. 'RAL to NBC and 'NCN to CBS. What a difference four years makes.

IIRC, KWTV's chopper in the 1980's, 90's and early-mid 2000's was called Ranger 9.
