Today in Brazil. RedeTV! News got some new graphics and set.

Longtime NFL insider John Clayton has sadly passed away today at the age of 67 after a brief illness.

No wonder why my dad yelled GTFO lol

Yeah....Brazil have their own ways.

So while CBS got their new Special Report graphics. In Brazil, both TV Globo and TV Band recently launched their new breaking news intros.

Sad news from the NFL world. The great John Madden has passed away earlier today at the age of 85.

Sad news out from Boston.....Long time Boston Red Sox analyst for NESN, and former MLB player Jerry Remy has sadly passed away Saturday night from his long battle of cancer.

RIP RemDawg. https://www.wcvb.com/article/jerry-remy-death-reaction-red-sox-player-broadcaster/38116465?utm_campaign=snd-autopilot#

I just got an email from YouTube TV saying that they reached a deal with NBCU.

And YouTube TV will lower their price if they take off the NBCU channels.

I usually prefer WPRI/FOX Providence anyway.

So not sure if anyone saw this, but longtime WJAR NBC 10 meteorologist Kelly Bates is no longer working for the station, and it brought some outrage in Southern New England. NBC 10 claims that she turned down her contract, and there's a petition out to call NBC 10 to reinstate her. https://www.golocalprov.com/business/wjar-10-general-manager-say-kelly-bates-turned-down-a-new-contract https://www.newsweek.com/viewers-launch-petition-reinstate-meteorologist-kelly-bates-teary-video-1627352
