Damn, that's a big jump for Leigh. Kudos. But how many investigative reporters do they need? Is Jim or Nina leaving or being reassigned?

Okay, here's the paperwork again. They've amended the app to include the FSW and main studio waiver request. Why you didn't post it in the first damn place?! Sloppy.

Speaking of Dolinsky, he was live in-studio for a lengthy "Saturday Night Sampler" segment. I'm not sure if this was a first. He almost always was in-studio for the now former "Friday Night Special" segments. Also earlier on the 10pm, I actually saw the floor director extend his arm to point at Ravi, before the OTS graphic popped up. Maybe that floor director should move a couple of inches back so we won't see that arm pop up.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! The Heathens of Hunt Valley will always apologize for something they don't really mean. Just like the time they greatly edited a video of a Baltimore protest march so it would sound like they're making an anti-law enforcement chant. From Zurawik's piece ten days ago: You can't make that up either. And this was a few months before the Freddie Gray incident.

You can't make that up. You just can't.

Here's some courtesy of @ctmajka's YT. This was from December 3rd of '92. As you see from the full shot on the , this was the 80s set, but used that same backdrop you mentioned above. And that desk is the same. But it includes the new '92 music. So I'm thinking the new music pre-dated the new 90s set. I also thought about that first image. Could that also be a chroma key backdrop? Because I also remember during those years they would use pictures and videos on a backdrop behind the anchors. This is similar to what they do now with that giant video wall.

This was missed. But back on Sunday, a truck slamed into the facade of the building of Lockwood Broadcasting's KAKE in west Wichita. The article said that the driver of the truck suffered a medical episode, but a dispatcher supervisor said that no one was transfered from that scene to a hospital.

Nexstar has renew its affiliation agreement with Fox in all 31 markets, through the end of 2019 (Why so short?)

Adam Symson will assume the role as President & CEO of Scripps, on August 8th. Richard Boehne will remain Chairman of the Lighthouse.

Why would they say that they're seeking a waiver, when in many cases a failed waiver request on the paperwork, would already been made. That I don't understand. The current rules wouldn't allow common ownership for WFXU & WCTV because both station's contours overlap. Are they're banking on Pai to change the duopoly rules so they won't have to file for a failed waiver? That alone would be very gutsy. They should've attached the waiver request in the paperwork anyway, and not play the waiting change. Because a change may not even happen.

If it was a failed station waiver involved, they would've stated it on the paperwork.

New M&A for Gray. Gray is buying Budd Broadcasting's WFXU and WUFX-LP for $600K. No telling what they're going to use it for.

Former ABC affiliate in Macon, GA, WPGA, has filed for Chapter 11.

Jiggetts will start on Channel 9 on Monday.

Bye-Bye Miles. Glad he's gone.

He has done the 10pm at least a couple of other times, including last October.

From Feder. WFLD morning anchor Corey McPherrin is recovering from open heart surgery. He'll be out for at least six weeks.

Another approval. And I missed this one. On May 26, the FCC greenlighted this deal. The deal hasn't been closed but should that occur, WDKA & KBSI will be commonly-owned.

McGinnis is filling in for Schwarz tonight. This is my first time seeing him on the night side.

Well Nexstar has LocalSYR.com for WSYR. Couldn't use "cnyhomepage" since its already used on sister WUTR/WFXV. And we know how they want to beef up the use of the word " ".

TVNewsCheck stated that Marquee will close on the WNKY sale tomorrow. And has appointed its station GM Linda Gray, as the new cheir operating officer for the Marquee group. The station's sales manager Julie Milam will replace Gray as GM of WNKY. With WNKY's sale being close, could the sell other Max station (WPFO in Maine, which was approved last week) could get closed too?

GM appointment #25. WROC's sales director Wendy Bello has been promoted as new VP/GM of the station.

They've had the Gray layout before the Diversified deal closed back in May. But WABI debuted the new logo on the webpage yesterday. No telling when WCJB debuted theirs. [MEDIA=twitter]879770944486748162[/MEDIA]

Video courtesy of WHAG's Facebook wall. Doesn't look like the graphics and set will change. Just the new logo. And it sounds like Inergy theme music on the promo. Looked that the FCC callsign reservation query, and Nexstar filed to reserve the call sign WDVM-TV back on 5/17. So exactly one year after dropping NBC, they're now getting brand new calls. Interesting. Also no more Your4State. Their new url will be LocalDVM.com (whenever it launches).

A settlement was reached. The terms weren't disclosed.
