WDJT is launching weekend morning newscasts starting 9/18

ABC News is taking over production oversight on Tamron Hall

Poppy Harlow is taking a sabbatical from her midday show to pursue a masters degree from Yale Law School. She’ll return to her program full-time next spring and has a show in development at CNN Plus, but will make occasional appearances in the interim (including holiday fill-in work).

WMLW will be carrying the show weekdays @ 5pm (Mike & Molly is currently running in this timeslot) leading into the BBT hour at 6pm.

Nate Burleson in, Anthony Mason likely out come September at the moment, Mason expected to remain at CBS News.

WarnerMedia in early talks to sell TMZ to Fox Broadcasting

Can't remember the last time a lame duck station was thanked in a show's station move; makes me wonder if WCIU agreed to let Tamron (which was apparently doing well for them) go in exchange for other Disney programming.

American Housewife cleared in 85% of the country for fall launch

What kind of shop are they running at The Doctors? This is like the third host to sue over the years...

In Milwaukee...WITI is adding Nick Cannon (no timeslot known at the moment) and You Bet Your Life (weeknights at 10:35pm) this fall

From what I’ve read, the format of the evening edition will be structured so that stations can choose to carry either 30 minutes, an hour or all 2 hours of the program.

CBS News head Susan Zirinsky is likely stepping aside soon to return to a producing role at CBS

To quote one Jasmine Masters, AND I OOP...

Former WITI morning anchor Nicole Koglin is joining WDJT in a mostly behind the scenes role as director of strategic initiatives, which will also see her frequently make on-air appearances

Katz, Scripps launching two new multicast networks this summer

This feels like an overreaction; I don’t even think this is a suspendable offense in my eyes. She made a mistake not having the station sign off on her apparence but the scene is innocuous enough and the content certainly wouldn’t violate any morals clause. Hopefully this backlash will find Pinto new work.

TJ Holmes joining GMA3 as co-anchor starting Monday

Yeah...sounds like somebody’s telling on themselves here.

It’s not quite this but WITI has replaced one of their Judge Judy reruns at 12:00pm with rotating E/I programming (mostly encores from the Xploration Station block)

ABC is making another shift to its late-night schedule: 11:35pm: An abbreviated half-hour edition of Jimmy Kimmel Live 12:05am: Nightline 12:35am: An encore of that night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live https://deadline.com/2020/04/jimmy-kimmel-live-return-regular-slot-abbreviated-half-hour-episodes-leading-to-nightline-1202904078/

WISN did a package earlier today discussing how they’ll be putting social distancing into practice for the time being

Kathy Mykelby is retiring from WISN at the end of November after a 38-year run at the station https://www.wisn.com/article/wisn-tvs-kathy-mykleby-to-retire-in-november/23602333

I’m assuming it’ll contract to a trio when one’s away; there has been talk of both Norah and Gayle contributing to 60 Minutes this season, so I wonder if Bianna is there to be a permanent part of the show without being delegated to simply fill-in.

WISN is debuting an 11am newscast on 9/10, tied to the launch of GMA Day http://www.wisn.com/article/wisn-12-news-at-11-am-premieres-sept-10/22686560

Wouldn't be surprised if this led to her heading to NBC Sports in the near future, with her being married to Craig Melvin and all.
