Congrats, wow your cake does cover a few bases (and I guess there's a pun in there somewhere ), but I'm sorry, what am I missing with the badminton shuttlecock?

Our big art museum has giant birdies on the front lawn.

You've been Zuckered, CNN, but we'e known that for years. Carry on.

Whatever "Behind the Scenes" is on KSWB, it doesn't show up in their aircheck list. The program log declares it a live event after the recorded national anthem, so KSWB might literally be turning on a newsroom camera and letting it ride. The segment is 25:25 long. A break runs at 4:27.

Wendy Chioji died this week.

I wondered if TEGNA was considering a traditional return, given the news director hires at KSDK and KFMB-TV recently.

KSHB has found a replacement for Dee Jackson.

Lisa Benson (ex-KSHB) is airing some grievances on Twitter today.

I would use the old Tones on Tail song "Go!" at the start. When the newscast ends, play a song with "Stop!" in the title.

Three Kansas City anchors are leaving at the same time.

Richard Sharp is going from KSHB to Sacramento. Nicole DiAntonio is traveling from WDAF-TV to Washington, D.C.. Steve Albritton is leaving KMBC-TV for Cincinnati.

In St. Louis, KTVI has two pregnant meteorologists simultaneously.

I was watching KOSA during the shooting coverage today, and the anchors left the set twice because of armed officers running through the shopping mall where they have a studio. Now the anchors are in the parking lot, losing their mics periodically, with an empty set on screen.

KTVI's Kim Hudson is going on medical leave.

KCTV sports anchor/reporter Tom Martin is leaving for a video production company.

Some stations just need the extra money when they exceed their budgets. BTW, how much does the average paid program pay out to a local station?

Anyone on this board could afford to buy a half-hour of time on a mid-market local TV station.

KNPN (St. Joseph) anchor Bob Heater died over the weekend at age 63. He had been a part of St. Joseph, Missouri radio and TV for 40 years.
