Because of the deadly massacre in El Paso, David Muir and Lester Holt both anchored a special edition of ABC World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News in El Paso while Norah O'Donnell anchored in the CBS Evening News in NYC, but she'll be in El Paso to anchor special coverage tomorrow for CBS This Morning and CBS Evening News. Muir and Holt continues to anchor live tomorrow in El Paso.

I know it'll never happen, but if I'm a betting man, I would say... WRGT/WKEF and WKRC/WSTR. But like I say, it'll never happen.

In the memory of Fred Griffith. RIP and Godspeed.

Folks, I have a announcement to tell you folks what watch WFAA (8) Weather. Meteorologist Colleen Coyle is leaving the station after nine years. https://on.wfaa.com/30L5Glt

I would like to remind everybody that Monday of next week, it would be two years ago, July 22... it was the day that Washingtonian's lost WRC NBC 4's Jim Vance. Take the time to remember him, and re-look back at his career next week.

24 Years ago, Yesterday...

Oh, yeah! I got it now. https://www.kristv.com & https://www.kztv10.com - Looks good and new. BTW, the OLD KRIS and KZTV site still running.

I've just went on the KRIS & KZTV site, and they haven't switched the layout.

Baylow retired from KFMB. My guess he could be at either KUSI, KGTV, KSWB or KNSD.

Have 'BNS and 'THR reported this on their local news tonight?

I forgot to mention with KFMB AM/FM in Tegna's pocket, they'll already expanding the radio business. I remember Gannett used to own radio stations when they acquired Combined Communications.

I've told you they'll be the bait when Dispatch caved. First, I'm shocked that Tegna is buying 'BNS & 'THR. Second, at least WTOL/Toledo will have a sister station soon.

The late, greats Todd Tongen and Ann Bishop on 1/1/93.

Auburn Tigers Football will never be the same for this coming college football season. Rod Bramblett the voice of the Auburn Tigers along with his wife, Paula passed away yesterday after sustaining injuries in a vehicle accident. Rod was 53 years old, and his wife, Paula was 52. Prayers and condolences goes out the The Bramblett Family, Auburn Tigers, and The Auburn IMG (Leerfield/IMG) Sports Network. https://auburntigers.com/news/2019/5/26/general-voice-of-auburn-tigers-rod-bramblett-and-wife-paula-pass-away.aspx As a longtime Texas Longhorn fan, and of college football, one of my all time favorite calls was "Miracle at Jordan-Hare Part I & II" and it was two unforgettable calls from Rod Bramblett I would never forget. RIP, Rod and Godspeed... War Eagle, Everybody! (That ones for you, Rod).

Carolyn Mungo has been promoted from executive news director at WFAA8 to vice president and station manager of the Dallas-based, TEGNA-owned station. She’ll continue to report to president and general manager Brad Ramsey, whose new duties will include spread-eagling himself as senior vice president overseeing TEGNA’s TV stations in Austin and San Antonio (KVUE and KENS respectively). In a memo, TEGNA executive vice president and chief operating officer Lynn Beall said that Mungo’s “efforts to innovate, experiment and build a deep and loyal connection with DFW audiences across platforms make her perfectly suited for this leadership role at WFAA.” https://unclebarky.com/dfw.html

Would you believe its now been 25 years since New World/Fox deal was announced. IIRC, Raymie did an essay on New World at 20 and how the network switch changed local and national TV forever.

In the memory and in tribute to the late, great Dick Ellis. RIP and Godspeed.
