Massive layoffs happened at NBC Sports Boston.

Former WPRI/WNAC reporter Caroline Goggin is heading up to Boston to work with WHDH 7 News. Her last day at WPRI 12/FOX Providence was on Friday.

Add WJHG and KCRG to the list

So a quick update, yesterday was Ryan Kruger's last day at WXIA 11 Alive.

Some movements in Atlanta: WSB-TV meteorologist Katie Walls is heading to Charlotte to work for Spectrum News, and her husband, reporter Ryan Kruger of WXIA is leaving as well to explore options in the Queen City. Edit: Katie Walls' last day at WSB-TV is on June 21st. https://www.ajc.com/blog/radiotvtalk/exclusive-meteorologist-katie-walls-leaving-wsb-for-spectrum-news-north-carolina/YOTQu3Sc0RSF6MFoeXlHcM/

Erica Bryant just made the announcement during the 6pm newscast after the weather forecast.

Next up on the list of local stations doing the CBS Weekend News is KOIN 6 of Portland, OR. And the host is Jeff Gianola. https://www.koin.com/news/jeff-gianola-hosting-cbs-weekend-news-from-koin-6-studios/

Not yet, still on the old Raycom graphics.

Even WJZY as well, and oddly enough WCCB covered it.

And WCNC had Iisha Scott and Larry Sprinkle covering the tornado warnings in the area that night.

And ironically the suspect is also pregnant.

WISN is facing some audio technical difficulties right now.

You know, I could say the same thing about WBTV in Charlotte.

Not sure if anyone noticed, but KTVB got the new website look.

With some heavy heart to announce that CBS News journalist Maria Mercader passed away Sunday due to COVID-19. Our thoughts are with her family and her colleagues at CBS News during this difficult time. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/remembering-maria-mercader-cbs-news-journalist-for-three-decades/

WJZY is still on YouTubeTV.

YouTubeTV took off WMYT from their lineup today.

TVN's 24 Horas got a new intro and music last week (and the music was based from the theme from 2005-2015)

I think only during this pandemic

You know, I failed to mention that on WCNC, they cut "Charlotte Today" to 30 minutes and no live guests. Their midday newscast now starts at 11:30am.

Since yesterday WSOC-TV distance themselves in their studio. Not sure if the other Charlotte stations does that though.

You know, I'm wondering if it'll spread to FOX's college football coverage.

ABC News has suspended Matt Gutman for his big erroneous reporting on Sunday's tragic helicopter crash which he said that all 4 of Kobe Bryant's kids were killed.
