    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

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

    I would be very surprised if Dan Lewis joins KING 5 as their main anchor.

    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!
  15. 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

    Word from FTVLive that long-time anchor/reporter Murray Feldman of Detroit's WJBK FOX 2 is heading out the door. Reason is because his contract deal will not be renewed and he'll be gone from station in May. There's also word that two on-air staffers have been told they are done after their deal comes up. http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/3/28/ax-swings-at-motown-fox-oo

    It looks like WKBW's Keith Radford isn't going anywhere anytime soon, its because the Buffalo's ABC affiliate has extended his contract. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/it-looks-like-this-buffalo-anchor-is-getting-a-new-contract/166436

    Say a prayer for Glenn Burns and for his family and wish him a full recovery.

    He's my favorite weatherman here in D/FW, hate to see him go at KTVT and heading to the Windy City.
