https://www.facebook.com/DanKennedy13NewsNow/posts/750782609836120 Dan Kennedy is replacing David Alan (retiring) on WVEC's 5/5:30/6/11pm newscasts at the end of the month. Eugene Daniel will replace Kennedy in the morning.

They were really struggling with the audio on the split screen. They had both the audio from the game and the weather coverage going at the same time for a while.

What difference does that make? I'm talking about TV markets, not metros. Anyway, this is getting off-topic.

WEAR is much higher-rated and they tend to focus more on the Florida side of the market.

I thought they were pretty good, but the logo/time/temperature bug was blocking the temperature forecast for next Saturday, they did remove it at the very end of the segment though.

I think WPVI just debuted the new weather graphics

1) Why would they change their calls just because the studios aren't physically in Fort Smith? They are licensed to Fort Smith because the FCC assigned them that city of license, and they cover that city. That is all that matters. 2) San Jose is has a bigger population than San Francisco, yet SF is listed first. Virginia Beach has a bigger population than Norfolk, yet Norfolk is listed first. Scranton has a bigger population than Wilkes-Barre, yet Wilkes-Barre is listed first. It's not a big deal.

Not to my knowledge. WABC was the same way for a long time.

Aesia Toliver is Katie Colett's new morning co-anchor at WAVY

I saw somewhere that the station has named the newsroom after him. Edit: Per Matt O'Donnell's instagram post, it's the studio.

Wouldn’t be the least bit shocked if he did. Final 6pm is this Wednesday fyi.

He turns 64 a week from today if that makes any difference.

I agree.

She had one. https://6abc.com/monica-malpass-retires-leaves-action-news-what-happened-to-where-is/5312963/

Jim's final newscast will be December 21st, two weeks from tomorrow. Edit: story from WPVI's site: https://6abc.com/action-news-at-6-brian-taff-6abc-jim-gardner-retires/12533116/

Was it John Paul? He joined over the summer.

Final hour of Morning Express is airing now.

Is she still appearing on WBBM as well as KYW? I have no idea how that works for her. Edit: I don't think she is filling in for WBBM anymore, but I don't know.

Meteorologist Andrew Kozak is making his on-air debut in about 20 minutes.

They've been divorced for a while.

I was just on vacation in the Outer Banks for three weeks and I never got to see him anchor once during that time period.

Dan Mannarino adopted a baby girl named Olivia. https://www.instagram.com/p/ChcTpBwuj4t/

I don't think I saw this posted anywhere, but Jen Lewis, former WAVY (Portsmouth/Norfolk) AM traffic reporter, joined WTKR (Norfolk) in the same capacity last month. She's still a midday radio host on 92.9 The Wave.
