  1. KAKE News anchor and former CW33 (KDAF) anchor Jim Grimes is moving to West Palm Beach and WPEC to be the new evening anchor. https://www.kansas.com/entertainment/tv/article223217950.html
  2. Another long-time anchor is hanging up the mic as of March 1st of next year. Jeff Brady, anchor of KENS 5 Eyewitness News and former anchor at KSAT, WFAA and KTXD is retiring. KENS will look for a new anchor after Brady retires. https://www.adweek.com/tvspy/kens-5-anchor-jeff-brady-retires-from-broadcasting/210788
  3. In the memory of Chris Bradley. RIP
  4. The "Texas 21" branding comes back to me when KXTX was then known as "Texas 39" in the early-mid 90s and KTXD was also known as "Texas 47".
  5. The TXA21 (KTXA - CBS 11 Sister Station) branding is no more... As of today, TXA21 is now Texas 21.
  6. KTVT airs Wheel at 6:30PM and KTXA airs J! at 5:30 & 6:00PM
  7. Best bet WFOR will pick up Wheel and J!
  8. Someone better alert compubit that MrSurferPlus is STILL uploading newscasts from compubit's vimeo channel with permission.
  9. Next week, Clarice Tinsley will be celebrating its 40th anniversary at KDFW-TV. She is now the longest running female anchor at a single station to broadcast the news in Dallas/Fort Worth for four decades. From Barry Judge to the late Chip Moody, to Steve Bosh (KUSI), to John Criswell (Retired), to Dale Shornack (former 5PM Anchor), to Baron James to currently Steve Eagar; Clarice has set the standard for local television news. To us here in the Metroplex, she's our Ann Bishop... The Ann Bishop of DFW. FOX 4 is airing a special called CT40 Tuesday at 6:30PM after FOX 4 News at Six. Clarice congrats on 40 years at KDFW... and let's go for 50.
  10. I talked to Freddie (houstontvnews) on Facebook and he told me that his YT account was disabled. Too many videos flagged by NBCUniversal in a short amount of time. He'll be back soon.
  11. In the memory of Texans owner Bob McNair. If it wasn't for McNair, NFL Football would have never return to Houston. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=Aq-GIkxGe6I;t=9
  12. You can stick a fork in CT's longtime anchor Gerry Brooks, he's just about done. The long time WVIT (NBC CT) anchor wraps up another November book tomorrow and this one will be his last. Brooks says that he is retiring tomorrow when the November book wraps up. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2018/11/20/signing-off-in-ct
  13. Folks, it was three months ago I predict Jason Wheeler would be John McCaa's successor when he retires in March of next year... but I was wrong, it's Chris Lawrence who'll be joining News 8 at 5, 6 & The Update at 10pm. Lawrence who's currently at WRC/NBC 4 will join WFAA in January 2019, the station announced today, and will move into the evening anchor role filled by McCaa, who has already announced that he'll retire March 1st. https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/chris-lawrence-joins-wfaa-to-co-anchor-evening-newscasts-in-march-2019/287-615957480
  14. IIRC, Mike Davis was the chief meteorologist at 10TV before being demoted to morning and noon to make way for Chris Bradley joining 10TV after working at WSYX.
  15. 23 years ago tonight, Capt. Ad Lib was remembered at a memorial/funeral service. Two promos.
  16. Well, someone need to let compubit (JRD) know that he's posting newscasts on YT without his permission.
  17. In the memory and tribute to Lee Kinard and Mike Hogewood.
  18. In the memory and in tribute to the late, great Tom Hooper. Godspeed Tom.
  19. He was Milwaukee's answer to Marvin Zindler. Sad news from WITI-TV, long time TV6 News Anchor and Contact 6 consumer watchdog Tom Hooper has passed away at the age of 85. Over the course of his 35-year career in local news, most of it as Contact 6 anchor, Hooper's name be synonymous with the journalism principles of comforting the affected and giving voice to the voiceless. Hooper died this evening in his home in Georgia at 85. Prayers and condolences goes to The Hooper Family and his extended family at TV6 News (FOX 6 News WITI). RIP Tom and Godspeed. Say hello to Vince Gibbens from all of us here, and tell him we still miss him. https://fox6now.com/2018/10/19/longtime-fox6-news-anchor-tom-hooper-passes-away-at-85/
  20. In the memory and tribute the to late, great Warner Saunders. RIP Warner and Godspeed.
  21. KSBW Action News at 11PM (1987) In the memory of the late, great Dr. Joe Glover. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=R0wQI4a4G5k;t=53
