Congratulations to Cory Smith on his promotion to Boston.

Hopefully CNN can go back to some more credible, hard news journalism that has been 'zucked up' in the past few years.

Maybe it's a decision between the anchors and management.

Both A Current Affair and Extra (in the late 90s when they were trying to mimic Inside Edition).

The anchors (both this morning and evening) are on the set but have gone back to social distancing since the NY Covid Alert Level has gone to Medium. The forecasts will come from the green screen and Otis is doing sports remotely from home.

It has been a tough few weeks for the Washington DMA. First we lose Bruce, now Wendy. I know they are at peace now.

Wendy Reiger died today from Glioblastoma.

 

This one really hurts. I grew up watching her every day at 5pm on channel 4 for years.

A true professional in every sense of the word.

Sad day in the Washington news world 

 

Regarding Bruce, I want to say that when he retired from WUSA he was the last person left from the WTOP era at that station. 

So very true. May he rest in peace.

Never knew it was Jim Ryan (of WNYW) that gave him the nickname.

Congrats!

Happy for Craig Treadway and Kirstin Cole.. Both being veterans of the Morning news. They get to have their own morning show. Hopefully, they can incorporate Kala and few other veterans into the Weekend morning show.  Who's doing weather?  Hopefully, it's Craig Allen.

Watching the inaugural weekend morning news right now. So far so good. Byron Miranda is doing the weather this morning.

With WAVE going back to an older logo, I wish Gray-TV would consider sending WCSC-TV back to its former logo..it was more original than the current version.

 

The station turns 70 next year so we'll see.

The morning newscasts were simulcasts of WFRV's. Only the 6 pm and now 10 pm are exclusively WJMN.

This logo honors the one they used 60 years ago:

WAVE | Logopedia | Fandom 

I am watching their morning newscast and it is using the "News 4" logo.

WZDC-CD (WRC's Telemundo sister) also launched the look today as well.

From what I have been seeing, the only things that have gone to Look S is the show promos (Kelly, Ellen, etc.), their I-Team promo and just this morning, their 5-second ID for Morgan & Morgan. I wouldn't be surprised if they started implementing the look by the start of November sweeps.  

Kudos to Frank Somerville.

I remember watching her, Steve, Dan and Tom on then Superstation WGN here in MD for many years. She was really a true icon of Chicago television.

With the Delta Variant rising again, are the stations in your market taking a step back again?

 

KGO started to separate anchors again as of this morning.

 

they currently have 5 different set up options for its anchors to socially distance again.

 

1. Desk

2. Weather Center

3. Side Set

4. Newsroom

5. Lunchroom

In DC, WRC-TV's Sunday morning broadcast started social distancing anchors again.

WGN is my go to station.
