Thoughts, prayers and condolences goes out to Bill's family and to his extended family at WRCB 3 Eyewitness News. RIP, William Markham and Godspeed.

Another DFW Veteran broadcaster is hanging up the mic. Longtime KDFW FOX 4 anchor/reporter Richard Ray is retiring on May 1st, but his last on-air newscast will be Sunday, April 21st (Easter Sunday). Richard has been in broadcasting for nearly 50 years; 36 years at KDFW. We wish Richard Ray all the very best. (In a subsequent tweet to unclebarky.com, Ray said he’s just been informed that Fox4 has added a May 1st sendoff during the 9 p.m. newscast “and maybe more. KDFW TV & Dallas/Fort Worth have been good to me.”)

I have a bad feeling about that soon-to-be new "19" logo. I wished 'OIO adopted the WXIX logo from '86-09.

To tell you the truth, I don't have the answer for that. However, I can be wrong, but I can predict that KWGN will launch channel 2.5 for Court TV.

I gotta to remind you, the new CourtTV already has distribution agreements with station group owners including Tribune, Scripps and Univision that will enable it to reach 50% of the U.S. at launch, with cable carriage representing 25% of cable homes. Tribune Broadcasting will carry Court TV in 22 markets, including New York (WPIX); Los Angeles (KTLA); Chicago (WGN); Philadelphia (WPHL); Dallas-Fort Worth (KDAF); Houston (KIAH); Miami-Fort Lauderdale (WSFL); Denver (KWGN); St. Louis (KTVI or KPLR); Seattle-Tacoma (KCPQ), Washington (WDCW); and Sacramento, Calif (KTXL).

The FOX O&O Texas stations; KDFW, KTBC and KRIV have already updated their site.

Winston-Salem's WGHP (FOX) is expanding its newscasts to 11PM. The new newscast will appear on 1st month of May and will bring the total amount of news content produced each day to 11 hours. Michael Hennessey will anchor FOX 8 News at 11PM along side Chief Meteorologist Van Denton. https://www.tribunemedia.com/fox8-wghp-to-launch-11-pm-newscast/

Remember I've mentioned that ABC might considering bringing AMC and OLTL back from the dead, well 90% of soap fans agree to it. https://www.goldderby.com/article/2019/all-my-children-one-life-to-live-revival-abc-poll-results-news/

IMO, I would pick... Option B! Sinclair dug their grave, they'll be lying in it.

I don't know if anybody know this, but ABC might considering bring two legendary soaps back from the dead. https://www.goldderby.com/article/2019/all-my-children-one-life-to-live-return-abc-news/

Anchor changes are happening at LA's FOX 11 (KTTV). Elex Michaelson is being moved off The FOX 11 Morning News (4:30-6am) and bumped up to the evenings pairing with Christine Devine on FOX 11 News at 5 & 10PM. Dan Cohen has been pushed to the mornings anchoring with Rita Garcia.
