WBAL TV 11 [ then CBS] 1992

Darcel Grimes at WLOS announced her retirement. She Retires May 8th.

Want to pick the brains of those that have alot of knowledge about the Chicago market. WLS/ABC 7 EWN is the leader, but been watching NBC 5 which is the strong #2 in the market. I find myself liking their newscast, but I feel their anchor team needs a jolt. Is there any chances NBC will make changes on their evening newscast. Just seems like their anchor team a little long in the tooth. The newscast is good, but the anchors are so-so. Thoughts?

I guess Mike health not too good.

Must See- WCVB 5-1994

I remembering saying a few years ago that WAGA would do an afternoon news in the 4pm block even with Judy doing well. I'm not surprise with FOX O&O stations. I think down the road we will see more of this with FOX O&O. It also an election year too, and stations want as much money as possible. I'm surprise WAGA and all FOX O&O not starting their morning news at 4AM.

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.
