    Another anchor change, this time in Denver. Shannon Odgen of Jacksonville's WTLV/WJXX is going to KMGH-TV as the new co-anchor of Denver's 7 News at 5, 6 & 10PM. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/shannon-ogden-joins-kmgh/170465

    Have to say I told you so, but it's official. Rob Powers will become the new co-anchor for WEWS NewsChannel 5 at 6 & 11PM. No word on when Chris Flanagan will remain at Cleveland's ABC affiliate, and now word on who will replace Rob as sports director at ABC O&O in NYC. http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/5/13/well-would-you-look-at-that http://www.newsnet5.com/about-us/newschannel-5-welcomes-anchor-rob-powers-back-home-to-cleveland

    IIRC, KTBC and KVUE used to have a news chopper in the mid-late 80s, while KXAN and KEYE had their news chopper in the mid 90s. KXAN was the last station to shelved the news chopper in late 2005 or 2006. http://tvradio.blog.austin360.com/2015/01/08/tbt-austins-news-chopper-war/

    I know I supposed to post vintage news opens and newscasts pre-2000, but I found some that might be news related. I found a 1988 episode of $100K Pyramid from 1988 when local news anchor Eric Greene (WUAB/WOIO anchor Now at WEEK) was a contestant on the classic game show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycaZD5ZM-a4

    Found one clip of WITI from 1996.

    D/FW's TV critic Ed Bark has an op-ed about the Tegna buyout. http://unclebarky.com/dfw.html
  15. TexasTVNews
    IIRC, Mark Wright used to anchor evenings and moved to mornings over at Q13 (KCPQ).
  16. TexasTVNews
    One more note. Tegna is NOT selling WFAA either. And that goes for all the Tegna stations as well.
  17. TexasTVNews
    Someone need to get this through his head. WFAA will NOT; I repeat WILL NOT lose the ABC affiliate, Period!

    Former KVUE (ABC 24) and KEYE (CBS 42) anchor Judy Maggio has an op-ed about the trouble with Tegna. https://judymaggio.wordpress.com/2016/04/16/the-trouble-with-tegna/

    I would be very surprised if Dan Lewis joins KING 5 as their main anchor.
  20. TexasTVNews
    If I'm right, they're now nine TV Tegna stations hit with buyouts.
  21. TexasTVNews
    The buyouts keep on coming and going. First Austin (KVUE), Houston (KHOU), Minneapolis (KARE), Norfolk (WVEC), Corpus Christi (KIII), Atlanta (WXIA), Grand Rapids (WZZM), now add Louisville (WHAS) to the list. Melissa Swan of Kentuckiana's ABC affiliate is retiring. The station will celebrate her career with a series of special reports starting at 4PM, her final newscasts at 5 & 6PM is on April 21st of next week. http://www.whas11.com/news/local/whas11-congratulates-melissa-swan-on-31-years-of-service-to-kentuckiana-swan-to-retire-april-21/135032764

    The buyouts keep on coming. First Austin (KVUE), Houston (KHOU), Minneapolis (KARE), Norfolk (WVEC), and now Corpus Christi (KIII). Richard Longoria, news director of the ABC affiliate KIII-TV is retiring after 13 years with the TV station after 38 years in the TV business. http://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2016/04/richard-longoria-kiii-corpus-christi-houston-ktrk-abc13-740-ktrh-news-director-retires.html

    Turmoil at KVUE (ABC 24). The GM's out, the news director's out, the main anchor is out, now the chief meteorologist. What the hell is going on at KVUE?! They must be cleaning house or what!
  24. TexasTVNews
    First the GM is leaving, then Tyler Sieswerda is leaving as well, and now the news director? What the H is going on at KVUE?

    There's soon going to be an anchor change in Cleveland's WEWS ABC 5. IT'S NO APRIL FOOL'S JOKE! It's not a done deal, but word is that Sports Director/Anchor Rob Powers of New York's WABC-TV is heading to Cleveland to succeed Chris Flanagan who's contract is not renewed. Powers who was hired at ABC flagship station in New York worked in Ohio before, he was the 5:30PM news anchor and 6 & 11PM sports anchor at WTVG in Toledo. WEWS can't say on Flanagan's future with the station, but look for something soon. http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/4/1/wabc-sports-anchor-heading-to-cleveland-for-news
