GMA covered the story on both hours today; take notice of George Stephanopoulos’s words at the end:

Sheinelle Jones returning on Friday

After 24 years on WITI, Seinfeld is moving to WMLW this fall

Seven months after being ridiculously fired from WDJT for calling out Elon Musk’s Nazi salute, Sam Kuffel is coming back to Wisconsin TV at WGBA in a temporary fill-in role as morning meteorologist Perhaps waiting out a noncompete before coming back at WTMJ?

Missed this a couple weeks ago, but in “about time” news WDJT is moving Bill Walsh back to weekdays starting in late August as Mike Strehlow retires from regular anchoring (he will continue as host of CBS 58 Sunday Morning) https://www.jsonline.com/story/entertainment/television-radio/2025/07/08/bill-walsh-named-news-co-anchor-at-noon-4-p-m-at-channel-58/84503523007/

WCBS’s report on the cancellation and it sounds like even they’re not buying it:

I could see CBS doing news in late night; I also wonder if they just decide to simulcast The Daily Show…unless they cancel that too

At this point who’s to say Skydance will even take over

Somehow Dr Phil is gonna try again and is launching a new media channel, Envoy Media

Norah O’Donnell filled in for Jane on today’s episode, I believe her first major non-60 Minutes appearance since leaving the evening news

Most Nick shows are also carried by YTV, so I don’t think much will change ultimately

Eva Pilgrim leaving ABC News to become the new anchor of Inside Edition

Paley, Murrow, Cronkite, Hewitt, Wallace, Bradley all surely rolling in their graves…

I know a streaming deal has been discussed/in the works for over a year now, but anyone else think selling to Hulu and Peacock is a somewhat deliberate F-U to CBS on Sony’s part as their legal drama continues?

NBCU will continue to handle ad sales for Versant

I’d fully expect Tegna to grab them for KARE and WFAA if that’s the case; Boston could literally be anyone (though I think it’ll end up being WHDH or WFXT)

With the 9pm evening start, I wonder if they’re hedging on being contractually able to run Jeopardy! and Wheel at 8pm…

I think it’s gonna be almost all simulcasts

It will be interesting to see what ABC ends up doing; WSFL? A subchannel on one of the existing stations? Perhaps do they avoid the broadcast game entirely and launch an entirely streaming Miami station? We shall see… …and we have an answer! WSVN will become the new home for ABC

Brewers will have 10 games air on WITI (as well as several other stations in WI) this year

After only six months in the job, CBS News chief Adrienne Roark (one of the masterminds behind the CBSEN revamp) is leaving to reportedly run all national news operations at Tegna

It absolutely was; the air quotes was me being facetious/poking fun of how the media isn’t really calling it what it is

WDJT parts ways with meteorologist Sam Kuffel after series of posts criticizing Elon Musk’s “gesture” at the inauguration

TheGrio still seems to be running on cable, at least on my Spectrum service in Milwaukee

MSNBC to keep its name post-spinoff
