Longtime WSMV news anchor Demetria Kalodimos is no longer employed at the station as her contract was allowed to expire on yesterday December 31st.

There is also an ongoing lawsuit against the station over allegations of "age discrimination" by some of its former on-air personalities that was filed back in late November (Kalodimos was named a witness in the suit).

Is that even legal? Could Hearst sue them for trademark laws?
They could file an objection on behalf of one of their stations in response. Where it goes from there is anyone's guess.

The FCC is planning to fine Sinclair $13.3 million for failing to disclose that "news stories" about the Huntsman Cancer Institute were actually paid advertisements.
Is that all? Meh. Surprised they were able to get away with it for so long.

I know this is not news and not a big thing, but here you go... the Gray-ification look to WCAX and its new logo.
Not bad, but why does it look like the "3" is trying to eat the CBS eye?

Some news promos from WHBQ in 1990 around the time it changed owners after RKO was forced to dissolve.

Some news clips from WMC-TV, KAIT and KARK circa 1994.

Looks like the former WV Media Holding stations have went to back to call letter websites. When Nexstar took over those stations under brokerage agreement websites changed to example: tristateupdate.com for WOWK. Now it's back to wowktv.com same goes for WTRF, WVNS and WBOY. Could this be a sign of change?
Maybe someone at Nexstar finally realized giving their stations' websites random names that don't really connect with the station itself is stupid, and are now "finally" trying to fix that mistake. Hopefully this means the end is nigh for sites like arkansasmatters.com and ozarksfirst.com.

Wow, that KODE open is really, really underwhelming. It's barely an open! (But sheesh, Joplin material!)
Also, who wore it better, WHBQ or KCRA?
P.S. "The Look of a Leader" has never been trademarked. I guess someone was jealous of "Where the News Comes First"...
WHBQ's version was dirt poor compared to KCRA, and it was back when the station was trying to go for a "hard news" look on the cheap. My guess is someone at Adams really liked what Kelly Broadcasting was doing at the time and wanted to mimic it.

How has WISC's knockoff of the Scripps package not come up?
I see that, and I raise you WJAX/WFOX's new graphics package.

More changes at WMC Memphis:
Meteorologist Andrew Kozak has seemed to indicate that he will be leaving the station by the end of the month. No additional details yet, however. Kozak was moved to weekends from the weekday 12/4PM shift a while back. Here is his Twitter post (see replies as well):
[MEDIA=twitter]910996747996008448[/MEDIA]
A follow up on this one, Kozak's final day at WMC-TV was September 24th. Replacing him on weekends is former WTOK weatherman Nick Gunter, who was recently hired by the station.

Reminds me of Bill O'Reilly's infamous rant from his Inside Edition days.
And of course, the internet had a field day with this:
-
Per the Memphis Commercial Appeal, former WREG news anchor Richard Ransom has been hired as the new main anchor and managing editor at crosstown rival WATN. His first day on air is September 25th and replaces Brandon Artiles, who will continue to anchor the 9:00 news on sister station WLMT.

[ATTACH=full]4471[/ATTACH] At last, a full shot of KJRH using the Scripps-mandated set.
Oh yes. I remember this type of set as WMC-TV had a similar one in the late 80s/early 90s.

Dawn Davenport is leaving WKRN after ten years as a morning anchor and reporter. Her last day at the station is Friday.

WMC must be trying to do all they can to beat WREG, which has been vulnerable since Richard Ransom parted ways with the station. And come to think of it, I still haven't seen any July Sweeps ratings for Memphis, which WREG normally posts in a heartbeat when they've won...
They didn't post July numbers last year either.

WKRN's Samantha Fisher anchored her final newscast tonight. She is stepping away after five years at the station to focus on being a full-time mother.

A few years after selling WBXX to Gray in a trade for KAKE, Lockwood is now ready to say sayonara to WKNX. Anyone see this becoming duopoly bait?
Possibly, but it depends on who buys WKNX from Lockwood. Nexstar and TEGNA are possible, but so is Raycom.

Personally, i'd go for the Putin Media Service/America or PMS America
That already exists. It's called RT (Russia Today), which gets just as much criticism here by some in the corporate media - if not more - as Al Jazeera (aka the "terrorist news network" as people call it).

Is it me or do the lower 3rds on WWAY look familar?
They look a bit like the lower 3rds you would see at a Raycom station minus the bugs on both sides.
-
It appears KARK has new graphics. L3 look okay but the rest of the package looks undone.
Those graphics look terrible, even by Nexstar standards.

I don't necessarily think it is because of perceived conservative politics because Nicolle Wallace seems to be holding her own. She always runs behind Cavuto on Fox but either beats or is close behind Tapper on CNN in both the Demo and Total Viewers.
I think the Fox News stigma hurt Greta more than anything. Whereas Wallace and Hugh Hewitt weren't thrown into their own shows but rather were slowly introduced to MSNBC viewers over time through the campaign and on the 11th Hour.
I think that's where MSNBC failed on this particular endeavor. Apart from the stigma you mentioned, the addition of Greta felt so sudden.

Maybe, maybe not. It appears they're working on the floors they'll be occupying. I'm following the building construction closely and the most recent timeline I've seen is that an official topping off is scheduled for late this year (like November).
Yikes! Forget about moving in some time in the fall. At this point, WCAU would be lucky to move into their new home in time for the 2018 Winter Olympics.

Other than Indianapolis, what Scripps markets do not have The Now? Try to give me a complete list.
I know WTVF in Nashville never went with doing The Now after it became a Scripps station.

The cable news networks do not have time shifted "west coast" feeds... No one wants to watch breaking news coverage time shifted three hours.
The west coast is why they re-air primetime shows. And yes, The 11th Hour airs live at 8pm in the Pacific time zone.
You would think they would at least fix the rebroadcast scheduling for their primetime shows (Hayes, Maddow, O'Donnell, Williams). Is there even a need to air reruns of The 11th Hour twice at 2am and 4am Eastern time?

2 NewsTeam was never used outside of the promos as this was a transitional look for WMC-TV that lasted for a short time before Bert Ellis WSB-ified the station months later.
