Most of the time I see on NBCSN is Mecum Auctions. ESPNews hasn't been ESPNews since 2012. The glory years:

And to compete the cycle, WBBJ's former chief, Tom Meiners has taken a job to be closer to his family in North Carolina.

Now it's one thing to login if they are airing network and syndicated programming on the website (like the NBC O&O's sites) or a local cable news station but it's another if you need a login for a local OTA newscast. Ironically, DISH and Nexstar are having issues right now and if a deal isn't made by this Wednesday December 2nd, DISH viewers are out of luck.

WBBH/WZVN's Jenny Lenzini who joined in July this year was killed in a motorcycle crash Saturday morning, she was 26. https://nbc-2.com/news/local/2020/11/15/waterman-broadcasting-loses-family-member-in-weekend-crash/

WGAL's Ron Martin is retiring on November 25th after 37 years. https://www.pennlive.com/news/2020/10/wgal-news-anchor-ron-martin-is-retiring.html

The schedule for CNN from 11am to 4pm has changed with Kate Bolduan moving from 11am to 3pm. It used to be: 11am: At This Hour (Kate Bolduan) Noon: Inside Politics (John King) 1pm: Right Now (Brianna Keilar) 2-4pm: CNN Newsroom (Brooke Baldwin) 4pm: The Lead (Jake Tapper) Now: (As of 10-5-20) 11am-1p: Inside Politics (John King) 1-3pm: Right Now (Brianna Keilar) 3pm: CNN Newsroom (Kate Bolduan) 4pm: The Lead (Jake Tapper)

Just in case if you're lazy to look:

It was a year and a half effort by WNBC's Executive Producer of Weather Mike Rawlins.

What's you complaining about? This (up there) is tame! You should see what he did with the Tribune graphics. TEGNA knew what they was walking in to and still decided to keep it and "The Next 7 Days of Your Life" because it's a "GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE!". Besides, this is the morning newscast not the 6pm update.

Another sexual harassment lawsuit for NY1 and Charter. https://nypost.com/2020/08/28/ex-ny1-producer-says-boss-sexually-harassed-her-lawsuit/

The only other OTA stations which air their news at noon is WCBS & WNYW. Both are for 30 minutes while WABC’s last for a hour. Plus during the height of the pandemic, WCBS didn’t air any news at noon.

KTHV will welcome back former morning and chief meteorologist Tom Brannon as their current chief (Ed Buckner) is still on an extended leave since February due to complications of Tourette’s Syndrome. https://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/ed-buckner-leave-of-absence/91-e3f3695d-293b-44f2-a4d1-88f995d3e6df https://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/tom-brannon-new-chief-meteorologist-as-ed-goes-on-leave/91-ab93e6a6-c111-4e40-97db-12bc25ee55b5

KING's Margaret Lawson is retiring and moving to North Carolina with her husband. https://www.king5.com/article/news/entertainment-news/margaret-larson-retires-looks-back-joyce-taylor/281-b862e8f0-e059-45df-8c92-ef84b62bb96c

Retired WLS chief meteorologist Jerry Taft has passed away last night at 77. https://abc7chicago.com/weather/retired-abc7-meteorologist-jerry-taft-dies-at-77/6332373/

Actually there's no chair in the weather position because there's no base for the chair. There's only room for 3 chairs on a normal day, whoever does weather stands on the black box.

I hated that damn era for so many reasons.

N12 LI reporter Kevin Vesey was verbally attacked by protesters two days ago while filming their reopen NY protest, even the President spoke about it. (Strong unedited language). https://www.newsweek.com/tv-reporter-hounded-anti-lockdown-protesters-new-york-chanting-fake-news-not-essential-viral-1504315

Case in point: Former WAGA & WGCL anchor Amanda Davis.

This is what got him fired by KARE. https://alphanewsmn.com/meterologist-nazi/

Since Monday, Lonnie is presenting the weather in a barn in Westport, CT (where he been hanging out mostly in the last few weeks). It has everything except a clicker but a phone call to Georgie saved the day!

And keeping with Today's TMJ 4, Meteorologist Jesse Ritka will be heading up the I-94 to Fargo to closer to her family. She has been at TMJ since 2011 and her last day is this Friday. https://www.tmj4.com/news/local-news/saying-goodbye-to-storm-team-4-meteorologist-jesse-ritka

Well whatever the case is or was, FOX told to her to...

Y'all happy now? Because if the next time WCBS (or any other station) has to leave their studios for whatever reason, I'm sending them straight to y'all houses so they can stay local. There hasn't been a newscast on WLNY for over 2 weeks and y'all stayed silent but WCBS was forced out and someone else helped them back on the air and y'all think the world was ended. I'm glad they are back at the Broadcast Center (not in the main studio) and they're using CBSN theme for bumpers and the close.

Plus, they're limited on in-studio news anchors since the weekday team is doing all the newscasts for the time being (one anchor only) while the rest is at home or on the field. Save the energy for mornings, evenings, and nights. Besides between 11am-6pm, they'll be preempted by Cuomo (NY), Murphy (NJ), DiBiaso (NYC), and Trump in that order.
