I wonder what KNSD is doing?

Yes, it reminds me of this package from the mid 2000s before they went HD (weather is at 16:36): This package was one of the best from KGTV IMO.

Does anyone know what's going on with Chrissy Russo at KSWB? She's been MIA for over a month.

Yeah, KNSD is back to the regular 7, and not the notched 7. So I guess the notch was specific to the Olympic logo.

Bob Hansen or "Consumer Bob" is retiring from KNSD this week.

Barbara-Lee Edwards has officially left KFMB to continue recovering from the hemorrhage in her brain: https://www.adweek.com/tvspy/san-diego-anchor-leaves-to-focus-on-her-health/236086/ Here is the interview she did it with Marcella Lee: https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/news-8s-barbara-lee-edwards-talks-about-life-after-suffering-brain-bleed-in-2020/509-3cfed42f-7a4f-48a9-9f54-869de214d5f2

It seems they really are only using that logo variant in the bug. Everywhere else the logo appears is the non notched 7.

Any thoughts on when the remaining stations will switch over? I thought they would switch at the start of the new TV season, but that has now passed. Lol.

Phil Blauer will be her co-anchor. Wow, that's a long evening block of news. Now 4p-8p.

I think KNSD is close to debuting the new graphics. Now that they're weather anchors are back in studio, they started airing a new weather spot promoting weather from NBC and Univision and the peacock background from the new opens is there. Sorry I don't have a pic or video.

I also believe that whatever caused her to have extended time off multiple times in the last year may also have something to do with it.

Maybe... They seem to have known for a bit he was leaving because they had been referring to Priya as a political reporter as well for at least the last month and a half. I was thinking, I guess this election cycle is worthy of two political reporters, but turns out she was the replacement.

A few departures from KNSD this week. Morning Anchor Greg Bledsoe's last day was today. Steven Luke will be taking his place: https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/goodbye-bledsoe-nbc-7-news-today-anchor-greg-bledsoe-says-farewell/2453919/?fbclid=IwAR2mqRkbz4h4dKZDMPzJb-eOcN4BeehEjRB1zTWI6zRLd2xXbwQrpN7B-SA&amp Also, political reporter Danny Freeman is leaving for an opportunity on the East Coast. Priya Sriddar will take his place as political reporter: https://www.instagram.com/p/CH5vEHngSM7/

Sasha Foo has left KUSI and television news: https://timesofsandiego.com/business/2020/10/18/marketink-anchor-and-reporter-sasha-foo-leaves-kusi-tv-after-17-years/

I'm pretty sure it was at her request. She had been off air for a while. She came back around the time when Jason Handman left, she moved into his spot and the evenings were vacant until now.

Chrissy comes in at 5a to do the whole morning.

I don't know, I'll have to see tomorrow. I don't really like Justina or Liberty doing weather... They are awkward at it. Aloha is doing midday.

Over at KSWB, seems like Brad Wills is the permanent late evening weather anchor for 6, 7, 10 & 11. I saw Justina Myers, who previously had been doing it (poorly I might add) was back to reporting. I'm not sure if there is a replacement for him in the morning as hardly anyone's bios say what shows they are on.

In addition to "The Four" KFMB is doing some tinkering with it's evening schedule. News 8 at 5 is shortened to a half hour, CBS Evening News at 5:30, and an hour long News 8 at 6.

Oh yeah, you're probably right. I forgot about Neda. She'll take over morning weather and probably report for 11a and noon. One could only hope they have a new set coming in the near future. We're nearing 10 years on this one. I think the Tegna influence at KFMB has been mostly confined to mornings.

Seems like they may be going in the lifestyle direction with this broadcast. I just saw a commercial with Shawn Styles promoting a regular cooking segment he's gonna be doing for the show. Also, I need to make a correction. The show will be done with Heather Myers, not Barbara Lee... Seems like a long day for Heather unless she will be leaving mornings...

Looks like KFMB is getting back in the 4p news game. Without having looked into it, seems like they dropped Judge Judy, since that was her slot. It will be fronted by the 5 o'clock team.

Crystal Egger popped up doing weather on KNSD when I tuned in at 4. I know they are down a weekend weather anchor and looking into it, she's been on air at least since March. Not sure if she's permanent for the weekend or freelance as she has no bio on their site.

KSWB sent Heather Lake on a cross country trip to Miami. But also, there were reporters there with their mic flag. That pic probably wasn't all of them.

Apparently KSWB now has a half hour 7pm show. Also, I noticed at 4am there's a show called Fox 5 Behind the Scenes, on right before the 4:30am news... Not sure what that is. Has anyone else seen it?
