Daybreak

Also in WJZ news they are loosing an anchor who has been with them for a few years. Said anchor is heading to KNTV for an AM and Mid Day anchoring position.

 

You can probably figure out who but since this was only posted on a Instagram I'll wait.

 

Also: Maybe it's just me but Baltimore seems like a market where people are more willing to stay in once they settle down roots (get married, having a family). If your young and single you'll likely move up the ranks.

Can you give us a hint as to who's leaving. And I'm wonder the anchor leaving KNTV.

Something happened between Monday and whenever Robb's bio got taken down... I was trying to see if he had posted anything on his Facebook page and he was touting the WeatherFest 2017 and the WIS-TV green screen they were going to have there... That was posted on the 6th... Interesting...

This had to have happened on Tuesday. He was posting WIS weather updates until Wednesday. A complete 360 of riding bikes and a "Cashmeousside" to find out how the weather is. He also responded to someone and said he may be heading back to Indianapolis. I'm wondering what happened to cause this. It's just too strange.

 

Out:

Robb Ellis is a goner at WIS/Channel 10 in Columbia, SC as main weatherman.

Too bad. Robb was really good and fell right on in. WIS has had a big turnover of talent in the past 3/4 years. Management is running this powerhouse into the ground.

We don't have a complete picture. Maybe he wasn't in the best of health or ready to tell his story until now. That said, the timing could just be coincidental and not anything more than that. There have been two previous main sweeps periods (May & Nov. 2016) that have come and gone in which they could have aired this and did not. Let's not think the worse here.

I saw the story and it was very sad. Its good that he was brave enough to share his story with the viewers. But I still will say that don't think that the station didn't use this as apart of their sweeps. That what happens but at least it helps others by learning something about CTE. I hope that things don't get any worse. Like someone said earlier, he's only 67.

This preview hints that Mike's absence likely has something to do with a hot-button issue putting a cloud over today's NFL and the sport of football...

 

"In recent years, WMAQ-TV viewers have commented that Adamle had been making on-air mistakes and sometimes appeared to slurring his words and/or jumbling his words. It was first thought that it was related to his epilepsy and the medication needed to treat it.

 

It turns out, there is a far worse medical reason behind his on-air and off-air troubles. It also is the reason for Adamle's indefinite leave of absence from the television station.

 

On Tuesday night during its 10:00pm newscast, WMAQ-TV will air an interview between reporter Peggy Kusinski and Adamle, in which he will publicly reveal his medical condition, and how it relates to his years of playing football. This is something Adamle's family, friends, and co-workers have known for quite some time, but will be openly and publicly discussed for the very first time by him."

I hope he's okay but I am kinda upset they are using this for sweeps. Like "omg I'm going to die so tune in tomorrow and watch." They could've easily ran the story today. I hate that aspect of this.

Beth Troutman is leaving WCNC in Charlotte. FTVLive did a story about this around the holiday season where it was suggested that it was some tension between management and Beth. Best of luck to her. I know she's been through a lot personally during her tenure at WCNC that obviously gave her a new found outlook on life.

Part of me get annoyed with Today because they act like Ann wasn't even apart of the show. She was there for 15 years I believe. That's why I can give two explicit about the show now. Its need a rejuvenation along with GMA (Get rid of Michael).

Candace Cameron Bure leaving The View:

Good. Once Sunny and Jenadiah came on, there was no need for Raven and her. Now the next person they need to get rid of/leave is Paula.

Is Cheryl still a contributor on the 10 p.m. newscast. Like is she still in the opening.

By February sweeps, Michael probably going to be moved off because GMA lost so much momentum. First the way he left Live was a big mess, and then when he got the full time gig, he didn't fit. Plus he cut both Amy and Lara time down and TJ Holmes.

Going to post this here since I saw it come up in the shoutbox:

 

My sources have informed me that the move is permanent. There was something about CBSN taking over the studio space in the newsroom but that didn't sound like it was confirmed yet.

According to twitter, you are right!!!

Wow. It makes sense why the did some minor upgrades to studio 57. They redid the floor and a new video wall.

Well it was announced that Shiba Russell is becoming an evening anchor at WXIA. She is currently the morning anchor.

Yes, WDAF-TV. We've had an anchor opening for a few months and many candidates have passed through the station.

OK. I don't blame the anchor for trying to leave. I'll be getting the hell out of dodge too.

One of their anchors was in our building for an audition recently. I get the feeling morale is low up there.

For real!! What station do you work for?

Another Reporter is out at KRIV after voicing her personal feelings on the elections.

WEWS in Cleveland will now be down two meteorologists as Tera Blake is leaving to join WKRC in Cincinnati for its weekday morning newscast. This is according to TVSpy.

What's going on with WEWS? It used to be a powerhouse but for the past 3 years, too many changes.

Who's that?

I think they are talking about Dana Tyler.

I'm so glad Stacey is back. She really paid her dues. I've been following her since WJW in Cleveland.

Wow. What a rapid rise for Natalie. Good for her.

 

 

 

When you're offered a spot on the flagship newscast, you don't say no. Period. Plus, Sibila left truly on her own accord. There is no reason to suggest Sibila couldn't have been on that newscast for the next ten years.

Yeah, I know Sibila left on her own. But you can say no. You don't take something just because its offered to you. I'm happy for her star rising but from previous experience I personally wouldn't have bet on taking that job. I would have waited a couple more years.

Natalie Pasquarella named 11 pm co-anchor:

If I was Natalie, I wouldn't have taken this job. They haven't had a stable co-anchor there since 2012 when Sue left. Shiba, Sibila, and now Natalie.

Well now there's a report that Billy is leaving NBC Today altogether.

http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/billy-bush-reportedly-out-at-today-and-negotiating-exit-from-show_us_57fd2fc4e4b07b9b8752c6d2?

They are also reporting he's suspended until further notice.

http://money.cnn.com/2016/10/09/media/billy-bush-nbc-today-show-donald-trump/index.html

I would agree. I'm not sure how they/he can get around this. As it stands, they are pretty much pretending Billy wasn't there and not either agreeing or egging Trump on (not that he needs any help) during the whole ordeal. What's going to happen on Monday??? Do they keep pretending or does Billy apologize?

Billy did apologized. What's funny is they mentioned Nancy O'Dell which if they didn't mention her, I wouldn't have never thought Trump was talking about her. Nancy also responded and took the high road. This whole thing seem weird but it does explain why Nancy left Access Hollywood stating she didn't really get along with Billy so it made it easier to leave.

Well it seem like Tamron let it slip on Today's Take that they too will like a live audience for the 3rd hour. I hate how both Today and GMA have become a carbon copy of each other. And is Al still a co-host of Today's Take or is he off/on location for Hurricane Matthews.
