Jim Vance and George Michael are looking down in heaven right now wishing Doreen all the best in her retirement. Wishing JV, GM, were here today along with Bob Ryan, and Arch. It's just not the same without them.

This is not a good week. First, we lost Fred Hickman, then Kevin Conroy (The voice of Batman), and now we lost KCAL's Money Man. Consumer Analyst from WTVJ and KCAL Alan Mendelson passed away this past Wednesday at the age of 70. https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/longtime-kcal9-reporter-alan-mendelson-dies-at-70/

CBS says try pry it out of our cold dead fingers. https://deadline.com/2022/10/goodbye-10-pm-hour-network-primetime-cbs-abc-nbc-local-stations-1235149601/ https://www.avclub.com/cbs-says-you-can-pry-its-10-p-m-programming-block-out-1849679906

WNEM TV5 Weekend anchor and reporter Faith Gantner passed away after an 11-month battle with blood cancer. Prayers and condolences to out to Faith's family and her extended family at TV5 News. Godspeed, Faith... and say hi to Sam Merrill from all of us here. https://www.wnem.com/2022/09/29/former-tv5-reporter-weekend-anchor-dies-after-battling-cancer/

For 50 years, Bob Turk has been a Baltimore Institution when it comes to weather. And I know Jerry and Al are smiling in heaven saluting him for the 5 decades at 'JZ.

You left out Laura Diaz, and Harold Greene.

And I still miss AMC.

It won't be long before they'll bring DOOL back to the schedule.

With Vic gone, they can bump Dan Gray to main anchor at KTVI. I don't know if they's going to happen, but that's my prediction.

I remember Bret Lewis was the 10pm sports anchor at KDFW in the early 1980's before moving to South Florida's 7.

Well, I don't. NBC does this, it's going to lose viewership and ratings at the 10pm/9pm slot.

It's a double whammy in Boston and WBZ. We lost Bruce Schwoegler last week, now WBZ mourns the loss of Uma Pemmaraju. Uma started her career at KENS 5 in San Antonio, then moved to KTVT/Dallas-Ft. Worth, and WMAR/Baltimore. Uma moved to Boston to anchor and report at WLVI and WBZ in Boston before moving to FOX News Channel in '96. Prayers and condolences to Uma's daughter and family in this difficult time. https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/video/former-wbz-anchor-and-reporter-uma-pemmaraju-has-died/

I'll give NBCND about... 13 weeks. Because I don't see it happening.

Sorry folks, my YT channel is off the air until I start a new one this fall. I'm sure by now you all know my YT channel was hacked.

I wished that KCBS and WBBM would've had WCBS logo.

One note, Robb also worked at WHTM in the early 90's, then WABC, WFOR, and WHP. RIP Robb and Godspeed. https://www.abc27.com/news/top-stories/longtime-anchor-robb-hanrahan-dies/ https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/former-cbs4-news-anchor-robb-hanrahan-dead/ WABC had not mentioned Robb's passing on the stations website, but it'll be on the station's 11pm newscast tonight.

So that explains why Decades (currently on 55.2) is moving to 55.6.

IIRC, Cecilia was working nights as chief doing the weather at 9pm.

Godspeed Johnny Beckman... Atlanta's legendary weatherman. WSB, WXIA, and WGNX (WGCL) were lucky to have a meteorologist like Johnny. JB, say hi to another weather legend; Harold Taft from all of us here.

This has been an exceedingly difficult time for Washington DC TV News with the loss of Doug, Renee, Bruce, and now Wendy. But another WRC, WNBC alumni and former anchor of the Today show Jim Hartz passed away last weekend at the age of 82. https://deadline.com/2022/04/jim-hartz-dead-today-show-host-barbara-walters-in-mid-1970s-was-82-obituary-1235008872/

I miss WeatherScope (FKA WeatherCenter AM, PM).

FOX Weather is now on KDFI 27.6.

Connor Ingalls went from GMC anchor to main anchor, congrats to him.

I can always watch In The Heat of the Night on MeTV and Bounce. BTW, Where's Joe Donlon going to go now that he leaving?
