Sending out positive thoughts for Jon Laufman

Congratulations to Robert Feder on 42 successful years of reporting on Chicago's media beat

 Best wishes and good memories to Christi on her new journey

When Cablevision (aka James Dolan) ditched the family legacy and sold everything off to Altice it was assumed News 12 would be hanging by a thread 

This is why Lou Scally retired as Weatherman last month

Probably the first time FX has aired any sports in a number of years.

FX aired NASCAR in the early 2000's

The graphics on these Apple TV MLB games are great

Maury was a great newsman then a wonderful talk show host

 I was rooting for Byron Allen to get most of all of Tegna

Nexstar has done business with The CW for a long time

Their best hope would be to bring in some big names

This is going to happen in March 2022. I can see it NOW. The CBS Evening News with Brian Williams back in NYC. You know CBS would do this in a heartbeat. 

 Could Brian Williams pull CBS out of third place & go up against Lester?

Not sure if this is the one (someone else can verify), but I found this --

Whatever the reasons were, Allison's very abrupt departure is seriously bad optics, especially given how long she had been at the station and resonated with the community.

Not that this is anything related at all, but can't forget how Fox 5 has lost other big DMV names within the last few years, like Tony Perkins and Annie Yu, and has also seen its fair share of controversies in the past.

Anyways, in the case that these accusations of her being forced out are verified as fact, then we'll see if these changes really make the difference Fox 5 wants.

Maybe Allison leaving was her plan anyway, she notified management & putting Angie on mornings for the “month of April” was a test drive for Allison’s replacement

  At what point should NBC consider replacing Chuck Todd with Shepard Smith (if he wants the job) at Meet the Press? 

Apple is about to buy Disney and abc in a few months mark my words

If Al Roker can do National Weather from his kitchen, we can all work well from home!
