Lotteryball5 aka WEWS has had that L3 for little awhile. I also believe WKBW has had it for the same time period.

Wow what a day TV5, two retirement announcements in 1 day.

Meanwhile at WEWS long time anchor and former "Morning Exchange co host" Lee Jordan is retiring on July 28th. Was announced on her Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1360943330622169

WNWO goes Sinclair.

It will be a sad day when both WISH/WOOD are forced to drop the "24hour" name. Also will sad when WOOD is forced to drop "Primetime News" and same goes for WAVY with "Newswire"

Sad day indeed. Tom Holden and Don Guthrie would be rolling over in their grave over this merger.

Truly a sad day in broadcasting. My thoughts and prayers to any employee working at any Media General station.

Gray would be best option for WOAY since they already have WSAZ and WDBJ near by. Soon to have WDTV under ownership.

I'm digging the opens and graphics. So glad to hear "Primetime News" in 2016 as well, 21 years strong.
