  6. Hard to believe it, but it's been 25 years ago that Washington DC television, and WUSA would never be the same. It was 25 years ago this past Saturday that we lost the legendary Glenn Brenner on January 14, 1992. Let's keep Glenn's memory and legacy alive. Rest in peace Glenn, and Godspeed.
  7. Katie Moore of New Orleans WWL (CBS) is changing roles. Moore will stepping away from the anchor desk to focusing on investigative reporting 5 days a week. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/new-orleans-anchor-moves-to-investigative-reporting/184278 Long-time anchor Anne Holt of Nashville's WKRN (ABC) announced on last night newscast she's stepping away from the anchor desk after 36 years at the end of this month. Holt has been at WKRN for 40 years when she joined in 1976 and became primary anchor in 1980. Holt and her co-anchor Bob Mueller had become the longest running anchor team in the history of Tennessee Television for over 30 years since 1984. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/anne-holt-to-step-away-from-anchor-desk-after-36-years/184259 And on a emotional note, Sports Anchor Kristen Berset of Washington DC's WUSA (CBS) is taking time off from the newscasts to battle her second fight with breast cancer. No woman should ever have to fight this deadly disease, and let's hope there's a cure is right around the corner. TVNT is wishing KB all the best and command her courage and strength to kick cancer's ass second time, and looking forward to seeing you on the news again soon. http://www.wusa9.com/news/local/wusa9s-kristen-berset-battles-cancer-for-second-time/386551897

  13. Sinclair is really running the gauntlet big time, here's what's going on. KATU is making cuts: two newsroom staffers and news anchor Natali Marmion - http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/sinclairs-katu-makes-cuts/183954 KOMO cuts position in newsroom including the I-Team - http://www.seattletimes.com/business/technology/komo-cuts-positions-in-newsroom/ WPEC cuts two: digital content manger and anchor-reporter Michele Wright - http://www.gossipextra.com/2017/01/09/michele-wright-leaves-cbs12-6640/ WJLA Maureen Bunyan out the door - http://wapo.st/2igwmqP WHP Tanya Foster is out: Foster who joined the CBS station in '08, recently left the station for leave after having a baby, now word is she's not coming back - http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2017/1/10/shes-not-coming-back
  14. thenightbeat has upload a WHOLE chunk of vintage news opens, promos, and closes from Austin, DFW, San Antonio, and Houston. https://www.youtube.com/user/thenightbeat
  15. I grew up with the John Davidson and Tom Bergeron version of H2 in the 80s and 90s, And I started watching reruns of the Marshall Era on GSN. And in my opinion, if Hollywood Squares does gets revived, it won't be the best two out of three format which led to be canceled in '04, it'll be the same format we all come to know. And I sure as hell don't want to see no kardashians on H2, they make me sick, stick with the celebs from TV, Music, and Movies. And if you are a fan on Blackjack, like I said... I would seriously want to see (Las Vegas) GAMBIT revived.
  16. I take back Hollywood Squares. I still want to see Gambit (Martindale) Revived, as well as Card Sharks (But change the name to "Play Your Cards Right") same format like Perry/Eubanks/Rafferty not Bruce Forsyth (But I like his version from the UK).
  17. I would love to see Gambit, Hollywood Squares back on TV, and add one new or revive soap opera.
  18. Denise Dufala's bio removed from the WOIO website.
  19. WBNS This is Your News (Image Campaign)
  20. Bridget Smith of San Antonio's KENS 5 has left the building and Great Day SA. http://www.mysanantonio.com/entertainment/entertainment_columnists/jeanne_jakle/article/Great-Day-host-Bridget-Smith-resigns-after-10791712.php
  21. We could see it happening on all the TEGNA stations in 2017.
  22. With the revolving doors of co-hosts of the view, in my opinion to ABC is this... either pull the plug on the show or move it to Lifetime Television and get it the hell over with.
  23. I don't know what's going on at WFAA, but the revolving doors keeps on coming. The DFW's ABC station has dumped weekend meteorologist Wes Houx and replacing him with Kyle Roberts from KOKH (FOX) OKC. TEGNA8 also hired Jesse Hawaila to replace wekkend PM meteorologist Ashton Altieri who left the station in August to work at KCNC (CBS) Denver. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/wfaa-swaps-weekend-meteorologists/182666
  24. Or either, Cox, Tegna, Quincy, Tribune, or Heartland Media. BTW Raycom can't get WNWO because they own WTOL.
  25. WNWO is in so much turmoil, the ratings, layoffs, etc. You want my advice, here's what Sinclair should do with WNWO... SELL THE STATION! Sell WNWO to another broadcast group that wants to revamp and revive NBC 24 and dig themselves out of the ratings slump.
