KITV's sports director Robert Kekaula will switch over to anchoring news with Paula Akana (who anchors at 5pm) at 6 and 10pm starting February 13th while Brandi Higa takes his spot. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/honolulu-station-announces-evening-anchor-team/185268

In Joe's own words from Friday on Facebook.

I'll go with the CR-V.

KTRK's Dave Ward is recovering from open heart surgery. He's retiring this month. http://abc13.com/society/dave-ward-recovering-from-heart-surgery/1640981/

WALB's lead anchor Ben Roberts is leaving for a position as a "Public Relations Manager" for Phoebe Putney Health System at the end of the the month. Jim Wallace will take over on New Year's Day. http://www.walb.com/story/33855334/ben-roberts-says-goodbye-to-walb Lima, OH's "Your News Now" Chief Meteorologist Kyle Adams' last day was yesterday after working there for 10 years. Jason Mikell will be the new chief. http://www.hometownstations.com/story/33857209/farewell-to-kyle-adams

FOX News' Shepard Smith's anchoring at WJHG in 1988.

Watertown, NY is getting a NBC affiliate (WVNC-LD) on December 1st with a news department by 2018. http://www.watertowndailytimes.com/news03/nbc-to-launch-affiliate-in-watertown-20161103

One tiny problem, John Wetherbee is still at WTOC/WFXG and there is no mention of him leaving WTOC at all.

He starts officially on the 24th [MEDIA=twitter]785567890212687872[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=twitter]785546233934778368[/MEDIA] Good luck to him.

CT to NJ, that's going thru New York to go to Jersey. You might as well consolidate News 12 into one mega channel serving the tri-state instead of six separate channels. In their defense, Brooklyn/The Bronx are in one studio and so is Hudson Valley/Westchester.

WTVH Syracuse NY 4/6/98 with David Muir & Kathy Orr (Weekday 11pm broadcast)

Their website is now mynbc5.com although it redirects to back to wptz.com.

Well, Laura did the 11pm Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and she's still in the opens. So far, they haven't named a replacement but they did remove Rob from the 11pm promo. Monica Pellegrini shared the nightly news with Russ Salzberg on WWOR from '98 to '03, while Sam Ryan was the first female sports director to anchor solo in '07 when Ducis Rodgers was laid off.

Ironically, WBAY's main anchor Bill Jartz is the PA announcer for Lambeau Field.

Well one famous New Yorker person disagree with Harmon's theory, Don Paul. Yes, . Funny, they have a sports anchor who works mornings and Sundays who also does the Sunday sports show. They have a Saturday sports anchor, and they don't have a weekday sports anchor in busy sports market on a station that airs the World Series annually and the Super Bowl every three years?

Ken was on today, so was Bill Evans.

Is it that hard to use the search feature before you post?

The AccuWeather team launched a promo featuring TENGA like graphics. I didn't see the video but this is just a promo, I repeat this is JUST A PROMO! They will definitely not use these anytime soon as weather or news graphics. [MEDIA=twitter]704115164254183424[/MEDIA]

KMID just posted this 40 minutes ago, the talent open is at 17:50. It's a BIG improvement from what they used to have, KMID is now using Aerial with Charlie Van Dyke's voice.

KJRH has a new logo? Because I checked KJRH's website before I posted this and I didn't see that logo or slogan on the site, their twitter feed, or their videos.

Lee was holding that mic today, it's three sided and screen printed.

I seen meteorologist Jeff Smith holding a new microphone similar to what the European stations use, the only other station I seen using that is KTVX in Utah. [GALLERY=media, 703]WABC Mic flag 2015 by RGSJenkins posted Sep 15, 2015 at 11:56 PM[/GALLERY]

I saw a ad stating that WABC is now adding a 5pm newscast on Sunday's (can't air Saturday's due to college football) starting this Sunday; only WPIX airs news at 5 on the weekends.

I doubt it. The rest of the group Twitter handles differ from the website except for KABC, KFSN, WABC, & WPVI.
