[QUOTE="Eat News, post: 216798, member: 2985"]I take it you all saw Lieberman and the Natasha stuff? @SFTV @TheRob[/QUOTE] I'm just now reading the "hair mousse" incident. Eaten up, spit out...

Where is KGTV military reporter Hanna Mullens?

 

Nothing from the reporter with the 13" waist since mid March.

 

And what about that Bree Stephens....she is also MIA.

 

Oh well...

Here is a cute pic of Hanna playing Army...call if you spot her.

It looks like Mullins is working for a non-profit that assists military families with pet bills.

 

Bree appears to have freaked out after being tackled live on TV. Her website indicates she just got back from a long photography internship in Africa, while her husband runs a bar in Point Loma.

 

I just returned from north county myself. My brother and his wife don't even watch the local news, just Netflix and Hulu. Good luck, San Diego stations.

KCTV just ran off its ND... again.

A co-worker says people at KRBK have already been told their jobs will be gone in a month. KOLR will absorb a few..

Nexstar is buying KRBK in Springfield, Mo., and a station in Huntsville.

Both of KSNT's sports talents are leaving at the same time. Ironically, the same thing happened to WIBW-TV earlier this summer, though both were quickly replaced.

I used to work with this guy. He's young and zoomed up the ranks in a hurry. Now he's out after 18 months as the ND of KOTV.

Home for him is Indianapolis. We have a common manager who is an ND in Indianapolis.

This guy was a solid reporter when he worked in Kansas City. Now he's leaving his I-team job at WBZ-TV.

KMBC changed its logo to red, and tweaked a few other things.

 

KOZK (PBS) tower collapsed in southwest Missouri. That's one of the tallest structures in Missouri.

KCTV is doubling down on bringing former TV personalities back to TV. They got former KMBC meteorologist Erin Little earlier this year. Now former WDAF traffic anchor/producer Bill Hurrelbrink has joined the KCTV morning show.

One of my college classmates, WOWT anchor Malorie Maddox, is leaving to work in public relations for Blue Cross Blue Shield.

By the way, I noticed new graphics and a new virtual set for "The Now" in the 15 minutes or so I watched before my newscast today. The graphics still look great, in my opinion.
