    KDKA has sacked one of their producers for airing an L3 that read

    Here’s Deadspin’s interview with the producer:

    He put his employer in a poor light and deserved to be fired.

     

    I've probably done worse things on the air, but all of it happened before Twitter existed.

    In a temporary schedule switch, KCTV has moved Inside Edition to 4:30 p.m., so they can air Chiefs specials at 6:30. Presumably this will last until the Chiefs lose.

    Interesting that in this era of adding newscasts everywhere, KMTV is cutting news. They're dropping midday and 4 (or does that become "The Now" in the future?), as well as early evening weekend shows, but they're tacking on one of those half-hours to the 6:00 p.m..

    I just heard through the grapevine that Stephanie Hockridge said her goodbyes at KNXV this evening.

    She certainly did. She doesn't post much to social media anymore. I'm guessing she has a new job outside of TV, or she's following the new fiance somewhere.

    I know most won't have a WSJ subscription, but the meat of the article is what you would expect.

     

    More than 1 million consumers canceled their cable-TV or satellite subscriptions in the past quarter, one of the largest seasonal drops ever, stepping up pressure on pay-TV providers to generate revenue elsewhere.

     

    Old-guard companies have turned to streaming services and partnerships with digital video startups to stanch the loss of pay-TV subscribers, yet figures reviewed by The Wall Street Journal show that those tactics have failed to halt the erosion of what used to be one of the entertainment industry’s most profitable businesses.
