I wonder what's going to happen to their current facility before the move?

Perhaps a throwback to the 1997 logo

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

WHP and WABC anchor Robb Hanrahan has passed away.

One note, Robb also worked at WHTM in the early 90's, then WABC, WFOR, and WHP. RIP Robb and Godspeed.

WABC had not mentioned Robb's passing on the stations website, but it'll be on the station's 11pm newscast tonight.

Interesting news about the news in Dallas: The Spectrum News 1 North Texas feed will be simulcast over the air on Weigel’s KAZD. This will air around the clock, 7 days a week — except for a break on the weekends to show E/I programming. The financial arrangement isn’t entirely clear — is Spectrum paying Weigel or is Weigel paying Spectrum? I can’t see this getting many viewers, but who knows?!?

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

Three left remaining. KOVR, WJZ, and WWJ.

This is what happens with Nexstar stations. WTTV, KDVR and now KXAS gets a new set but refuses to pay their creative and air staff what they are worth. This tells you all you need to know about the group. They care little about people.

KXAS already updated it news set and wx center, and WTTV already have a new set.

36 needs not just a new set, but a NEW building.

Our station WFAA carries GMA3 at Noon. And I still miss AMC, I wish it was revived and returned to ABC.

And ironically enough, this will be the second time that KRIV’s chief meteorologist has worked the morning shift. Cecilia Sinclair was chief met from the late 90s to the late 2000s and served the last half of that on the morning program.

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

Longtime Atlanta meteorologist (WSB, WXIA) Johnny Beckman has passed away at the age of 90.

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.

CBS News Dallas Ft. Worth is now online.

I miss WeatherScope (FKA WeatherCenter AM, PM).

FOX Weather is now on KDFI 27.6.

IMO, I wished that Cox would've kept KOKI/KMYT and WHBQ.

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

I saw Maury the host as a daytime TV icon on the level of Bob Barker, Barbara Walters, Pat & Vanna, Alex Trebek and Oprah Winfrey.

You left out Phil Donahue and SJR (Sally). BTW, one thing I liked about Maury Show was the most talked about couple in the history of his show. Joe and Shelley. That' cracked me up every time he comes on with is crocodile tears begging his wife to take him back after he cheated. 

I like Maury when he was host of the 2000 revival of Twenty-One. IMO, it was still a great show.

Norah O'Donnell is the master controller of the entire CBS network. Who can replace her?

I wish it was Shepard. He would've been great as anchor and mananging editor for the CBSEN. The wild card IMO is still BW.

If they do go 24/7 with news, they can kiss that JAG and Blue Bloods audience goodbye (as well that who love In The Heat of the Night).

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?

Former longtime WGN News reporter Merri Dee passes away.

Another veteran B-Ham anchor leaving. Longtime Birmingham broadcaster and current CBS 42 (WIAT) main anchor Art Franklin is leaving the station to pursue business interests. His last day at the station is Friday, April 29th. Birmingham CBS station will now soon be looking for a new main anchor. IMO, I believe that weekend evening anchor Michael Clark will be Art's successor.

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.

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.
