  2. I've noticed the Scripps ads too. Even with an ad-blocker, the text remains hidden for ten seconds.
  3. Article on FOX O&O news expansion http://variety.com/2017/tv/news/fox-stations-late-night-news-syndicated-comedy-1202555298/
  4. Former WFLD anchor Jeff Herndon is returning to Wichita, as anchor/assistant news director at KSNW.
  5. Gray Television is whacking some talent at KYTV and KSPR. http://www.news-leader.com/story/news/breaking-news/2017/08/18/kspr-news-anchor-jerry-jacob-others-laid-off-friday/579491001/ http://www.ktts.com/news/local-news/several-layoffs-announced-at-ky3-and-kspr
  6. Yes. Some poor promotions producer probably spent two hours putting it together-- and after all that, the lead story is a meaningless preseason NFL game (Yes, I understand KPNX aired the game).
  7. That's funny, but sad. I guarantee my city would have towed the truck within 12 hours. Heck, not that long ago KCTV left a camera inside a box at a downtown location at night, and the bomb squad blew it up the next morning.
  8. I've seen this happen twice before, stations suing to collect money from people who quit while under contract. A station really can't force anyone to come to work. But it sets a bad precedent if you agree to two years, and quit after six months without consequence.
  9. Personally, I prefer just to start the newscast with no headlines at all.
  10. This went under the radar, but KCTV swapped morning anchors. Alexis del Cid is now anchoring the Better Kansas City lifestyle show. Gina Bullard moved from Better K.C. to morning news co-anchor.
  11. KJRH hired two veteran journalists instead of a couple of kids who would work for peanuts? Madness. But seriously, good for them.
  12. Stella Thurkill was one of my anchors when I worked at KTKA in Topeka. I had no idea she still worked in TV news. That's pretty good longevity for a female on-air talent. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2017/7/26/out-the-door-in-billings
  13. Welp... [MEDIA=twitter]888376538374299649[/MEDIA]
  14. Brooke Wagner, most recently of KDVR, is going to Tucson to anchor at KOLD-TV. [MEDIA=twitter]888173565064990721[/MEDIA]
  15. I've heard KMBC has plucked WGAL's News Director for their open ND job (another Hearst-to-Hearst transfer). That seems like it would be a good get, considering how well WGAL performs.
  16. We finally got to announce our new anchor today-- former KSDK anchor Pat McGonigle. http://fox4kc.com/2017/07/07/fox-4-announces-new-anchorreporter/
  17. They're having a company seminar on producing better shows and writing better teases.
  18. A KNBC-TV vehicle either overheated in the 100-degree weather, or got a bit too close to the action covering a wildfire. (Cue the old "Can you still give me a live shot? joke.)

  20. KSDK is losing a morning anchor. http://www.stltoday.com/lifestyles/columns/joe-holleman/ksdk-s-pat-mcgonigle-leaving-station-next-week/article_216ba739-b91d-5ed4-988b-aaac702a289b.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=user-share
  21. "Your forecast really hit the bullseye, Keogh. What's it like on the peaks today?" --anchor
  22. We have a new N.D. at WDAF-TV. We hired the former KTVU news director Dana McDaniel . She visited the station a few weeks ago.
  23. Former K.C. anchor Karen Fuller is suing KCTV for age and gender discrimination. http://www.kansascity.com/news/local/article154866929.html
  24. It sounds like WRIC has a disgruntled employee. Another memo appeared on FTVLive. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2017/6/6/more-work-for-nexstar-staffers
  25. KSHB hires Mick Shaffer from Spectrum Kansas City to be sports director. http://www.kshb.com/sports/41-action-news-names-mick-shaffer-as-new-sports-director
