And guess who's following Aikman to ESPN.

 

 

Play-by-play World Series and Super Bowls won't be the same on FOX without Joe Buck if he leaves for ESPN.

RIP Renee and Godspeed. Say hi to Max Robinson, Jim Vance, and Glenn Brenner from all of us here.

I never thought I'd be reading this from Mike McGuff's blog. Longtime KXAN 36 (NBC) News Anchor Robert Hadlock announced he's leaving Austin's NBC station after 32 years. His final newscasts is August 1st.

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?

 I was rooting for Byron Allen to get most of all of Tegna

So was I.

WFAA, KHOU, and KVUE going from Tegna to Cox, the owner of WSB, WFTV and WSOC? That's an upgrade. It's not the old Belo, but it's pretty good for this era.

Same for KIRO/Seattle 

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.

RIP WGAL & WBRE anchor Keith Martin, and Godspeed.

I think Byron Allen would've been better merger than Apollo/Standard General in my opinion.

I'm more than 100% agree to that, and I'll drink to that. I said it before, Byron Allen is the only one he can clean up the mess Tegna made.

KRIV will have FOX Weather on subchannel 26.5. No word on when KDFW will have FOX Weather on their subchannel.

Same thing for KTVT, but their 4, 5, & 6pm newscast moves to KTXA (TXA21) and J! & Wheel 6:30 & 7pm.

CBSN Dallas/Ft. Worth is now CBS News: Dallas/Ft. Worth.

Despite WJMN losing its CBS affiliate, ViacomCBS and Nexstar renew their CBS network affiliate deals in 39 markets.

KTVT jumped on the First Alert bandwagon, as well. Appears this is likely gonna be the standard across the O&Os.

Sad news to report, a well-known news anchor in my area was arrested on suspicion of DUI last night. The video of the anchor ramming the other car and getting arrested was overwhelming to watch. 
 

im not going to post it. You can put the puzzle pieces together and will most likely hear about it this weekend. 

I have a good feeling about who it is. His career is getting tarnished.

KXAS is keeping Access Daily on the 1pm schedule.

CBS and FOX are going to pay tribute to John Madden on The NFL Today and FOX NFL Sunday this weekend.
