    No. You posted in the right spot. Welcome to the board.

    Wasn't aware that Fox 4 is joining the other O&Os to air Dr. Oz (except for WAGA, which they're giving it to WSB). Belo8 have alot to fill in the afternoons now, huh?

    There's certainly no reason why they shouldn't do it. I'm not too sure what the taping schedule is for The Chew, but if they tape within the day before the airing, I don't see any reason why they shouldn't offer an earlier 11am window for the show. And I don't blame WFAA having a 12pm news, since they'd had it for a minute. But since some stations are moving GH an hour later, I'm kind of shocked that WFAA haven't took advantage on moving The Chew to 1pm, and then GH at 2pm. I'm not sure what show will replace Katie at 3pm, unless Dr. Oz is moving to be their new 4pm news lead-in. ABC did offer Port Charles at half hour earlier on the central time zone (11am) than the eastern stations which some would air their 12pm news at the time, and it would air PC afterwards at 12:30pm/ET, while some central stations air their 11:30am news.

    WFAA does have a midday newscast, an hourly noon show (The Chew airs on a 23-hour delay at 11am).

    Wow! Just Wow! I can't believe this. Guess who's coming to Channel 7 soon? From Frank Macek's Blog posted last week (8/14): Wow! What a difference six years make. She was one of the first personalities when WMBF launched six years ago (and it was her first on-air gig at that). As I've seen here reporting style and delivery on WKYC, she's good enough that she could be in one of the bigger markets, hell, even one of the networks. IMO, she's like Linsey Davis-good. But I never thought she would end up at the #1 station in the largest market in the country. And she hasn't even been at WKYC 16 months? I feel that ABC made a tremendous decision picking her. I wish her all the best, and hopes she spends a lengthy time at ABC. I wouldn't be shocked if the network would take her in. Big Kudos to A.J.!

    WFAA's new website has its current logo on the header. Could Belo8 be the next one to launch its website?

    Despite shortening his workload, this is an end of an era in New England television nevertheless.

    ....And you forgot KBMT & KYTX on both.
  9. CircleSeven
    FINALLY!! I was wondering when they were going to start doing that for Channel 4 (they should've done it when their graphics were implemented). WVEC, WHAS & KREM have yet to make their new sites. And I'm shocked that KING 5's new webpage didn't go live this week.
  10. CircleSeven
    For the first 28 seasons, then moved an hour earlier two years ago; will return to its 3:30 slot this coming fall.
  11. CircleSeven
    For the first time since the WUSA & KPNX same day launches back on January 17, 2013, both KVUE & KENS 5 implemented its new Gannett Graphics during its midday newscasts.

    And now it appears to finally be some movement in the ComCorp deal. Okay, here's the WEVV app of the sale to Bayou City Broadcasting, posted last Tuesday (8/5). On that same day, the KFXK (sister to KETK) application from White Knight to Mission has been DISMISSED. And just yesterday (8/13), the WVLA (sister to WGMB) application from White Knight to Mission has also been DISMISSED. Wait, I almost forgot. Also on that same day (8/5) the KSHV application (sister to KMSS) assigned from White Knight to the newly female controlled, Rocky Creek Communications, was also DISMISSED. I guess we're not going to any rocky creeks anytime soon. I'm not too sure what that means in Baton Rouge & East Texas. If ComCorp is gone, White Knight is not going to stay put. One option could be to reassign the station to Marshall (they'll probably might wait until those other 3 get the greenlight). Or another option could be following the other groups like Sinclair & Gray and play that same moving channel switches and surrendering the license of the adjacent stations. So far they haven't done that in Grand Junction, CO, where they're still waiting for FCC approval on KFQX (assigned to Mission). Of course they're obviously doing this now because that outside date is coming up.

    No I don't know everything. I just took a wild guess. And besides we still have to treat it as tentative, in case they could be a delay (like WCNC).
  14. CircleSeven
    What? Say that again? What did I say on Friday....
  15. CircleSeven
    As most of the stations used the "Coming Soon" (and of course it doesn't explain when the exact date of launch), those stations would implement the graphics within a week. As Tyler said on his twitter, "KVUE is going to look a little different next week." When next week is anyone's guess.
  16. CircleSeven
    Ahh NO!! NO!! Don't say that. Ugh!! LOL. Bringing back the 10pm repeat at 1:07am would greatly bring back some normalcy to the schedule. Yes, the daytime lineup are due to preemptions and such, but I don't see them squeezing another hour of Rachael. And anyway, I don't even think a station have aired a second airing during the overnight hours. We'll see what happens though, but I wish they don't do this.
  17. CircleSeven
    I can't be shocked about this schedule, because KABC went with a similar schedule, placing Rachael Ray between The Chew & GH. So it appears that ABC wants GH to be on an ideal 2pm timeslot (similar to NBC's Days Of Our Lives on the ideal 1pm timeslot on most stations (WMAQ airs it at 11am)). I'm not sure if its going to be for all of the O&Os. And Rachael Ray is at the right spot to compete with Vieira & The Talk. And I don't think anyone should be complaining about Inside Edition & Jeopardy! returning to its 3pm slots again. Where it needed to be!! Both shows were on those time slots since their syndicated debuts. It just didn't feel right being on an hour earlier. Now I want to know if Channel 7 is going to bring back the weeknight 10pm repeat again, after the WCL repeat. That was axed thanks to two years of those careless Katie repeats.

    I said they didn't say when they'll debut the graphics. Since they'd posted the video yesterday, its only a matter of time.
  19. CircleSeven
    Tyler Sieswerda from KVUE explains about the new graphics on its website. They didn't say when they'll debut the graphics, but might go for a wild guess (and take it with a grain of salt). If KENS 5 is launching on Thursday, I wouldn't be shocked if KVUE would launch on Tuesday. Similar to KGW & WVEC launches on that same week last month. Well, those color-coded things are now heading towards the Lone Star.
  20. CircleSeven
    They signed on last week. But Tonight, it's KGW!!! And I wouldn't be shocked if KING 5 be next. They now have their logo displayed.

    The Deathstar continues to be adding its newscasts on it stations, similar to the Trib & Fox. This time it's in Grand Rapids. TVNewsCheck states that Gannett-owned WZZM 13 will have a new Sunday Morning newscast from 6-8am, starting this Sunday (8/10). The station will also expand its weekday morning newscast to 4:30am, beginning August 18th.

    Well. I know they had to do something. Did they really have a choice? The Allbritton deal is done and the ComCorp deal is still sitting there, now hitting the 15th month this Wednesday. They knew this had to get this done. Have the DOJ/FTC sign-off on the ComCorp deal? If not, it's an extremely long wait. If DOJ/FTC finally sign-off on the deal, it may not be a speedy approval, because of a shell problem. Although they might sign-off on the Marshall properties in the Quads, Shreveport & Midland by a JSA waiver, what about ComCorp's other properties in Tyler & Baton Rouge? Unless they amend the application, and have a sharing arrangement for a short period of time, or eliminate the key sharing agreements entirely (option, sale of commercial time (JSA); maybe form a news carriage agreement), Wheeler would probably let it sit there, just like all the other deals with proposed sharing agreements. But I hope with this, barring any further delay, this deal can finally be done. Glad that DuJuan McCoy is finally coming back to the TV fold. He stated after selling KXVA/KIDY to London that he was planning on buying stations up-market. He made a big move with this deal. I'm hoping he'll get some more stations before too long.

    It could be just a coincidence. But maybe they're now stepping their news game up because of their newly-acquired sister station in Tulsa, and even then, KOKH wouldn't still have a boatload of news that KTUL have now.
  24. CircleSeven
    I wonder if they did this so they wouldn't have to distract the countless folks who's getting out of Grant Park for Lollapolooza. They were downstairs for all the other shows tonight.
  25. CircleSeven
    Most of the London stations, Yes. But for the love of God, please don't kill this logo. As I said back in May:
