  1. Sad news from former WJKS (WCWJ) news and sports anchor Glen Fisher. It was on WJKS-TV Facebook fanpage that former WJKS, ESPN, FOX Regional Sports, and KCAL 9 sports anchor Alan Massengale had passed away today. Alan's wife, Elizabeth posted on her Facebook page said that Alan had a bad fall this morning which caused a severe brain bleed, and he was put on full life support. Alan's wife and her three adult children made the difficult decision to not have him suffer. Prayers and condolences go out to The Massengale Family in this exceedingly difficult time. UPDATE: Alan Massengale's bad fall/severe brain bleed was the result of his death due to his battle with colon cancer.
  2. I know it won't happen, but CBS execs needs to try talking to BW again. No matter how much money they're throwing at him, bring Brian Williams to The CBS Evening News.
  3. Play-by-play World Series and Super Bowls won't be the same on FOX without Joe Buck if he leaves for ESPN.

  6. What's going to happen if the FCC denies the deal? They're back to square one, or will Byron Allen gets another chance to acquire Tegna?
  7. I'm disappointed that AMG lost the bid to get Tegna, but I'm happy that WFAA, KHOU, KVUE, and WLNE will be part of Cox Media Group. IMO, I'm not happy that the rest of the Texas Tegna stations are not going to be part of CMG.
