She getting married and moving up the road to OKC. I wonder if she going to go work at KWTV- Congrarts! Always been a fan of hers! Yeah he lost, but do you think he would ever sell WCOV/FOX20? I could see Nexstar trying to get WCOV. Montgomery, market with it being a small market. It funny how 30 years ago: WCOV had a news-team due to being CBS. WAKA was in Selma, and WKAB/WHOA now WNCF newscast was a rollercoaster. Being on again and off again. WSFA always the top dog in the market, and at one time mid 90s WAKA had some steam to challenge them, but that was only a hot minute. Now WAKA & WNCF doing news together. WSFA produces the 9pm on FOX WCOV20.

TEGNA & Scripps are killing their stations with the current crap. Again, 19 despite it silliness it has more muscle than KYC & EWS... just sayin'-

WGCL is still in 4th place it hasn't overtaken 11 Dead as some of the comments the ppl from AJC say. In one of the last few ratings 11 & 46 both tied in some newscast, but it isn't 3rd place exactly. Maybe 11pm, but not quite there. WGCL makes money but it not making the same as the other three stations. WSB, WAGA & WXIA were all taking in over 100 million and when they listed WGCL it didn't state how much they were raking in. Yes, that was probably over a decade ago. WGCL yes it has a solid newscast, but it can beat 11. WXIA product become too TEGNA and Meredith no better. I'm not saying they should do a daily news, but just start over. CBS 46 has become a laughing stock, and ppl are still laughing. What happened to Channel 3 News... "See the possible" ?

I mean both stations were apple & oranges back when WAGA was CBS. Despite the numerous ownerships WAGA was solid. It slipped to third a few times, but was able to rebound. WGNX was an Indy outlet that just got a news department 30 years ago late 88/89, and WGNX got the CBS affiliate at the 11th hour, and as time went on. Tribune was only interested in being independent. When WGNO & WGNX started to get a network affiliation. They didn't do too much investment, but WGNX was solid. As for Meredith, they bought the station with hopes of making it something big. However, when numerous management styles, name branding etc. It just hasn't done much for WGCL. Meredith should return the WGNX call letters back to them and sell the station, and start all over like WIAT in Birmingham did in late 90s.

Don't know how she sunk the ship when she was at 19 in Cleveland & KMOV. WGCL has been a titanic ever since Meredith bought them over 20 yrs ago.

His final newscast a few weeks ago

No, it can't! He worked in Phoenix not sure if it was KPHO or KPNX. Of course WGCL in Atlanta. Scott does weekends, and he definitely should do weekends. Hogan, would be ideal! Also, TEGNA is also moving in.

Ugh stop with the snatch & grabs Kendrick in his early 50s. He probably looking at a few more years before he goes into retirement. I hope and wish they could lure Jeff Hogan back from North Carolina, because Pete eh always been a bore and so is Scott Light. Hogan & Harris would be great.! Rumored for a long time and Harris is apart of the new generation, before she hangs it up. She'll be hitting 50 herself next year. Also add Terri Sullivan, Carol Luper on that BNS-SYX worked at both stations.

One of the last few in the era left. Nov 27, will be his final air date. {getting out while TEGNA moving in] It only a matter of time when others will follow. https://www.dispatch.com/entertainmentlife/20190822/wbns-tv-anchorman-jerry-revish-to-retire

Scripps & Gray both pinching pennies.. It just seems that they don't value seasoned talent.

WRCB 1997

I'm a big fan of KNXV which IMO it's the gold standard in Phoenix, and sad part is if Scripps didn't kill Wheel/Jeopardy! Which I thought was good for them to have on the program schedule before sending it back to KTVK. I've watched KSAZ & KTVK morning program. Just watching online both definitely do a good job. I like KTVK alot better under Belo, and they did a great job navigating from their ABC days as an independent station. KPNX which is good, but just rode NBC's coattails. From YouTube and reading articles KSAZ was a great CBS affiliate, but does a great job as FOX, but like many former CBS affiliates that are FOX i.e. WAGA/Atlanta, WJBK/Detroit eh they don't nothing for me. KPHO for me they just seem to be the bottom feeder in the market. As a CBS affiliate they were times they did a good job in their early years as Arizona 5 CBS & when Diana Sullivan, Katherine Anya years, but other than that. From the Youtube Clips they were better during their days as an independent station not affiliated with a network which was 25 yrs ago.

KTVK all the way! Under Belo superb! Under Meredith eh. KTVK hands down. KSAZ their morning news, but other than that hmmm. My problem is Kari Lake she definitely takes the cake. Hurts the brand. I guess KPNX, KNXV & KSAZ their look is so their corporate owner.

Ever since KPHO & KTVK became one together. KTVK news has taken a dive. KTVK by themselves was still the gold standard. KPHO was good as an Indy outlet, but suck as CBS. KNXV hands down best station in the market.
