I didn't. Also, the reunion was only one segment, not the whole show. Unless there was a surprise after sports.

It's streaming fine for me, though it looks like they haven't gotten to the reunion yet.

As many of you all know, WBZ 4 is celebrating its 70th Anniversary. And in honor of the CBS station's big birthday, the station is bringing back the original anchors. Jack Williams, Liz Walker, Bob Lobel (Sports), Bruce Schwoegler (Weather) and Joyce Kulhawik (Entertainment) will return to the anchor desk This Thursday at 11pm. Someone please record or set their DVRs for this reunion newscast.

Looks like they also redesigned the set for the occasion and dusted off the old logos.

Pro tip: unlike a lot of other paid subscription sites, I discovered that if you open the page, and click to stop loading it in full as soon as the article is visible, you miss out on some links and the comments, but you get the content unblocked.

Apparently, having the Privacy Badger extension installed also works. Just sayin'.

Maybe Sinclair discovered that people were skipping over the must-runs.

Grow up everyone. You're in a dying industry.

Not all of us.

I've gone ahead and started a Speculatron thread about potential buyers for Scripps's stations.

KHBS/KHOG now has a new set.

Not crazy about the silver part of the desk, but I like that background graphic.

On a separate but related note I can see Lester being a witness for Mueller and if that's the case he might have to recuse himself from some or perhaps even all of NBC's special coverage regarding the Mueller investigation at some point.

Have I missed something? How is Lester Holt connected to Mueller's investigation?

If it's like all the other ABC shows, very poorly. All ABC shows perform poorly in STL. KDNL is one of the worst performing affiliates in the country.

 

But the reason ABC doesn't do anything about it is because Sinclair bundles KDNL's affiliation agreement with ABC with it's better performing affiliates like WSYX, KATU, and KOMO (the affiliation agreement was made prior to them buying the Allbritton stations).

ABC should have made fixing KDNL's performance woes a requirement, or at least forced Sinclair to negotiate a separate agreement for it.

Quite a few Fox affiliates and a few non-Fox stations have six-hour-long morning newscasts. WGN is a key example.

Oh, I know that. In fact, WFXT isn't the only station in Boston that does it; WHDH also runs its morning news till 10:00am, though they start at 4:30.

Not only that, but his show's logo is still in the header image for the station's Twitter account.

Not to go off topic here but how can he survive if he was never there?

Huh?

What is with these Conservative commentators wanting to harm a survivor of mass murder?

Easy: Their precious gun rights are being threatened.

Eight hours of local news in the morning. Now that is the true definition of overkill.

And here I thought WFXT's six hours of morning news was impressive.

KLAS could probably get by with its current URL, since LasVegasNow.com has at least some tie-in with the "8 News Now" branding.

And 8NewsNow.com does redirect to there.

Looks like the CSS used to position it is messed up. The actual image itself is a good size (300x144).

You can likely thank the influence of the management that came on board from LIN for that.

I want Ellen back on WPTV. I’m so unhappy with it on WPBF.

Is changing the channel that difficult?

When a Sinclair-owned station is outdoing you, you might have a problem.

How big is WMTW's studio?

If they're not careful, they'll go the way of RKO General...

The new TEGNA websites have arrived in Denver, Jacksonville, Maine, and Phoenix!

And none of them are responsive. Instead, they have separate mobile sites.

It's self explanatory referring to all of the morning news shows on Nexstar stations.

That's it? I thought there was some big conference or something.

Anyone know what #NexstarAMNewsers is about? It's currently trending on Twitter.

Ooooo....I like the music!
