Scripps News? Why can't they called Ion News. I can picture it... Ion News, Positively Reporting.

Sadly, most likely not. In any case, here’s hoping everyone over there stays safe, and that they get back on air ASAP.

 

This is video from Matt Devitt. The studio’s a goner, and there’s flooding in the newsroom too.

 

This is like KHOU all over again when the Houston CBS station's building was destroyed by flooding at the hands of Harvey.

I think the set looks beautiful. IMO, this might help improve the station. 

Tampa Bay's 10 (WTSP) Meteorologist (And former Price Is Right announcer) Rich Fields posted a Facebook video earlier today, the staff is already

evacuating the main studio and currently at their backup facility at WMOR-TV where they're going to be broadcast from temporary.

WJZ chief met Bob Turk is hanging it up after 50 years.

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.

Is it very different as KXTV, KSDK, WHAS, WFAA, or WTSP?

No.  Many of the biggest names  in Los Angeles television have all moved to the competition at one time or another, for more money or a better time slot,  and sometimes back to where they'd been: Clete Roberts,  George Putnam,  Bill Stout, Joe Benti,  John Schubeck,  Warren Olney, Tritia Toyota, Jess Marlow, Paul Moyer, Ann Martin, Jim Hill,  Linda Alvarez,  Colleen Williams, Chuck Henry, Micah Ohlman,  and  of course Jerry Dunphy.   It's a way of life in the business;   Lynette Romero's situation, whether dissatisfaction with contract or daypart,  and departure up the dial, is not usually the kind of thing that sends the station descending into Dante's ninth circle of hell.

You left out Laura Diaz, and Harold Greene.

Didn’t ABC see erosion across the whole day part with the cancellation of AMC and OLTL? I think it’s a lot like NBC putting Megan Kelly on at 9. It pulled downed the the fourth hour’s numbers. Just like Jay Leno at 10 p.m. 

And I still miss AMC.

The first week ratings are in and they’re down over half a million viewers compared to the last week of Days

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

Don’t forget KPIX too. I’ve always felt the Eyewitness News name was a better fit for CBS stations as their logo is an eye. 
 

And the Action News name would be a better fit for ABC stations solely because they both start with A’s. 

I forgot all about PIX! Thanks for that.

Eyewitness News would have been the perfect branding for CBS O&Os had ABC not taken it.

KDKA had the Eyewitness News name until '96, 'BZ had it until '93, and 'JZ had it until either '17 or '18. It would be nice if the EWN name would make a comeback on KD, BZ, and JZ. And personally, I wish my home station had the EWN name in DFW.

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.

ABC, NBC, and CBS now broke into programming to announce that Queen Elizabeth has passed away at the age of 96.

Sad News, Bret lewis former WCKT/ WSVN Sports anchor has died, apparently, he had suffered some health issues awhile back, R.I.P. Bret lewis.

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

Wow. This is a huge deal. I like this. I'm sure the stations do too.

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

KYW just made the switch as well.

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.

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

Any changes in the program lineups in DFW?

Reading some of the petitions to deny and other details, it appears the deal may be illegal on foreign ownership rules, as the hedge funds are largely based in the Cayman Islands, Bermuda and the British Virgin Islands.

I just hope the FCC gives the big fat "NO!" to Tegna on the deal.

It's about time 19/43 get a new broadcast facility. 

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.
