One of my managers is a former Sinclair ND. It's all anyone could talk about today. Tulsa is not a small market and KTUL, I think, was in second place.

I think she might have been married to his son of the same name. I have seen previous articles in which she described her upbringing as being part of a family that "evangelized all nations." She also tweeted about Ernest Angley previously.

Another day, another lawsuit: https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/article279512624.html A former multimedia sports journalist for KCTV5 has filed a federal lawsuit against the news station’s parent company, claiming he was discriminated against due to his race. Adam Orduna of Overland Park filed the lawsuit Monday in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kansas, against Gray Media Group Inc., which does business in Kansas City as KCTV5. Orduna is the third KCTV5 journalist to file a discrimination lawsuit against the television company in the last four months.

This popped into PACER the other day. Here's a paywalled article on meteorologist Erin Little suing KCTV and Gray. https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/article279111029.html

Former Wichita anchor advances to general election for Wichita mayor:

After the pandemic started and people stayed home, we saw the biggest drop in audience at 4:00 a.m.. The midday news had the biggest increase. If remote work truly sticks, I would redirect 4:00 a.m. resources to middle-of-the-day content. And while it is not the desired demographic, the biggest TV watchers, the baby boomers, are mostly retired. My parents were early risers when I was a kid. Now my mom doesn't wake up before 7:30.

It's not often that the anchor leaves for P.R., then comes back to TV news after less than a year. https://fox4kc.com/mornings/abby-eden-returns-to-fox-4/

Unfortunately for the producers, it is a fireable offense to send an internal information (i.e., a newsroom memo) out for publication.

He actually uses an AI program on some articles. They're marked with an asterisk.

CW's golf schedule won't change in 2023. After that, I don't think we'll see much golf on CW unless LIV carries on as a distinct tour with its own events.
