I imagine most of you saw that NFL hall-of-famer Len Dawson (Chiefs, KMBC-TV, HBO, etc.) died today at age 87. KMBC-TV is in the middle of an hour-long special about Dawson. You might check their website at a later time to see if they upload the whole thing.

WESH couldn't put the news on Sunday night. https://www.adweek.com/tvspy/wesh-in-orlando-evacuated-over-bomb-threat-sunday-night-newscasts-canceled/243623/

FOX Weather has started sending me a "FOX Weather Agenda" email each day, teasing the next day's coverage. Maybe I should forward it on to NN.

Ouch. In a market like Chattanooga, the morning news probably uses a skeleton staff on a normal day. If you can't put on the news, that means you literally have no producer, no air talent, no director-- and maybe enough people working sick on the nightside staff that you can't hold them over for a double shift all night. https://www.adweek.com/tvspy/widespread-covid-outbreak-forces-chattanooga-station-to-cancel-morning-newscast/243150/

By the way, we thought NN had made a mistake sending us the promos for the Cuomo interview earlier today. I didn't realize they had decided to rerun the interview tonight.

KXRM in Colorado Springs had some Twitter problems tonight (the tweets, indeed, the station's account are all gone).

3:00 p.m. news (30 minutes) is coming in September.

She left WPIX-TV several months ago, so I don't think Dallas was specifically on her mind at the time. She probably just needed a break, or maybe didn't get a fair contract offer from Nexstar.

This is huge in the Kansas City circle.

I wonder what went down at KTNV in Las Vegas. Both the GM and the ND are out.
