WSMV's "The Diary" image campaign from 1992... WXIA's Hello Georgia promo from 1985 featuring the Commodores... WXIA's image campaign song from 1974!

I watch WRIC sometimes, but I'll say this: REALLY?! *facepalm* Will other Nexstar stations be next?

More departures at WRIC...AGAIN: reporters Nakell Williams, Jonathan Costen and Candice Cole. Just last month (I mentioned it on this thread), morning anchor Amanda Malkowski left the station. http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2017/6/1/getting-the-hell-out-at-nexstar-station

Unbelievable. Dang, I'm surprised. Shocked but surprised.

He used to be the noon anchor at WWBT in the '90s. Speaking of WWBT, reporter Mike Valerio left the station to join WUSA9. I saw him on the evening news just recently.

What? WRLH haven't switched to the current graphics and 615's Sinclair theme yet! I'm still waiting.

WGRZ weather anchor Kevin O'Connell - who originally planned to exit the station this month - is delaying his retirement until June 2018. http://buffalonews.com/2017/01/05/ch-2s-oconnell-delays-retirement-june-2018/

[quote name='TriangleTriadMediaNews']Noticed in my FIOS program guide the other day that WTVR now has a 6:30pm newscast with no mention of CBS-EN at all. While it did air at 6:30 followed by the 7pm news, I wonder if they're planning to bump CBS-EN to 7 after the new year and have a two hour block of local news from 5-7?[/QUOTE] Same thing with the Comcast and Screener (formerly Zap2It) program guides. It's been like that for a while. I was like "WTVR doesn't have a local weeknight 6:30 newscast. Something's not right here..." [B]EDIT: [/B]@WSVNFan already answered your question. Never mind.

Longtime WLTV (Miami's Univision affiliate) anchor Guillermo Benites passed away Saturday morning after battling an undisclosed illness. Benites retired in September 2015 after 39 years with the station. http://www.mediamoves.com/2016/12/guillermo-benites-dies-illness.html

Wow, that's great news for them. Watertown's the last market in New York state to have full NBC network service.

Sad to hear about Gwen Ifill's passing. Rest in peace. Meanwhile in Raleigh, WRAL censored last Saturday's SNL (already mentioned in chat). http://www.newsobserver.com/entertainment/tv/warm-tv-blog/article114508293.html
