A longtime Denver anchor is leaving. She had been anchoring the morning show and the midday show at KDVR, resulting in some awfully long days. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/denver-anchor-leaving-tv-business/177536

Tribune just announced the sale of Tribune Tower to a firm called CIM Group Acquisitions

KSNV director dies in motorcycle crash http://news3lv.com/news/local/motorcycle-rider-killed-after-crash-on-i-15-off-ramp-and-d-street

Kacie McDonnell (ex-KSHB, Sporting Kansas City) is joining NESN in September.

NPG is launching a low-power NBC affiliate for St. Joseph, Mo. I have no idea what the station runs right now, if anything. http://www.newspressnow.com/news/business/nbc-affiliate-coming-to-st-joe/article_48ed5f08-6859-5134-ba6b-fde5c295eb26.html

John McLaughlin (the McLaughlin Group) has died at the age of 89, per tweets I'm seeing.

It was her choice. She won't make as much money, but the hours will be much better.

Big news from my station: 5pm/9pm anchor Susan Hiland is leaving after 17 years here at FOX 4. She will work in public relations for the North Kansas City School District.

KSHB had posted her job as open a couple of months ago. So long, Kacie. We'll miss watching you, but not your traffic reports or your inane pregame soccer interviews. http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/8/11/out-the-door-in-kc

KSHB's Justin Wilfon is moving to Atlanta, to be weekend anchor at WSB-TV.

I remember when we hired Shelly Slater at FOX 4. She did her first live shot on my show, and I thought "Wow, this woman will be a major-market anchor someday, maybe even CNN." Now she's stepping away from full-time work at WFAA. http://unclebarky.com/dfw_files/f1cacb539d3a4a94bff6beaf4ca7a0f2-3737.html

I had heard the KCTV news director would be leaving a month ago, around the time he fired a few people. Today he submitted his resignation. His replacement will be the third ND since late 2013. http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/7/28/kc-news-director-out

Someone climbed about 150-feet up our tower Sunday night and knocked back a few cold ones. I was working at the time. This guy was awfully drunk. http://fox4kc.com/2016/07/24/man-chugs-beer-after-climbing-the-fox-4-broadcast-tower/

It was not a car crash, by the way. She fell off a waterfall ledge-- one that I've visited before. http://wlos.com/news/local/authorities-confirm-georgia-news-anchor-died-in-rainbow-falls-incident

It has made a dent, undeniably.

While we've been off DISH for a month or so, KCTV is now warning its viewers of an impending DISH outage. http://www.kctv5.com/story/32428905/will-dish-drop-kctv5-from-its-lineup

Uh oh. http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/7/13/newhaven-weatherman-busted-on-child-porn-charges

The Star-Telegram writes on the retirement of WFAA reporter Jim Douglas. http://www.star-telegram.com/living/article88088947.html

Tyree lost his son recently (his son played football at my alma mater). I wonder if that had anything to do with his departure.

How ironic, a reporter who faked her way into a sports gig, is now covering a fake sport.
