  1. But this is WGCL/CBS46, but house money on Shon Gables will get the job over Tracey.
  2. ABC33/40- Sept 1, 1997 -1 year after signing on as the new ABC affiliate.
  3. WBRC-1994- Channel 6 News (ABC) 1994
  4. He lives in Florida.
  5. CNN: Crime Reporting on Local news 1995
  6. WCOV-1982 during CBS era
  7. WKYC-TEGNA style WXIA-TEGNA style WKEF-ABC22
  8. WBRC 6-1987 WSFA 12-1988
  9. Don't forget WJZ in Baltimore. They just got a new set after 20 years. Many of their staff retired and the young ones have moved on to other markets.
  10. WSYX ABC 6 open new graphics
  11. KCCI TV8-1991
  12. Kirk Varner news director of WSPA moves to KSTP as new ND.
  13. To do what? They have a heavy bench and once Nexstar gets their greedy hands it will cut, cut, cut. Maybe he could go back to ABC7. Don't know if there's room at NBC5 or FOX32. I see once Nexstar deal is done at WGN if FOX plays their hand right. They would snag many WGN talent at FOX32 to win and beat WGN.
  14. Hmm. I don't think that was the case. Ben Sherwood was eager to be like NBC to get some XTRA money. The Chew's ratings were better than Sara & Strahan.
  15. WXYZ 1996 KSDK 1998
  16. Yes, there was an article in some publication where BNS management wanted Yolanda, but she was under contract with WSYX at the time. Kristyn was a horrible choice as Andrea's replacement. In some cases it always hard to find the right candidate when replacing someone who been there a long time. BNS whole contemporary branding/image is not them. It's the station with the old guard, but what they're not good at is the young demo where WSYX does well in. I read Mitch wasn't well liked in Phoenix, but did a good job at WTOL, but I guess that because of WTOL's #1 status during his time there.
  17. Hmm. Yolanda Harris, I would say, but Pete I can't co-sign, However, Yolanda plays second fiddle at BNS where she was the mainstay at WSYX. I was told many told her (Yolanda) not to go over to BNS. It might be #1 but inside it, a mess and many are still wondering how long the Wolfe family going to keep the station in their hands. Yolanda was a band-aid to keep the machine pumping, but nothing last forever. Remember SYX was fighting with CMH for #2.
  18. He made WSYX more aggressive in their news coverage, there were some spikes in #2 at WSYX but it wasn't across the board in all newscast. Jamie Justice the current ND she couldn't keep the momentum going... I think he couldn't do what he did at WSYX for WJLA. A different market and Sinclair was ready to cut that budget at WJLA and he resigned during Sweeps. So he has his work cut out at WSMV.
  19. WXYZ at 70 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHSUq9Cbt2
  20. Which capacity could you see her in at FOX? Could you see her on Good Day Chicago? Now here my wishful hope. When Nexstar gets it hooks into WGN. That many from WGN will flock over to FOX32 to give them the much-needed jolt. Another question is why is CBS 2 (it seems just speculation) that CBS runs WBBM on a shoestring budget? They don't have the cache of talent that pops out.
  21. Robert Feder said Insiders are saying she'll go to FOX32 and FTVLIVE.com just repeating what Robert said. Why not NBC5? No shade to Allison Rosati, but um...Who going to be next after her? I don't want to be that person...., but is she really a big deal in Chicago? We hear all about the ABC7 folks and here & there are CBS2 people. Of course, you have WGN and then FOX32 they do try. It just seems NBC5 people don't get the cache like ABC7.
  22. Patti McGettigan the former news director at WHBQ/FOX 13, WISH-TV & WOOD-TV died the weekend from cancer. https://www.fox13memphis.com/top-stories/groundbreaking-journalist-and-fox13-news-director-patti-mcgettigan-dies-after-battle-with-cancer/921996122 https://www.wishtv.com/news/local-news/former-wish-tv-news-director-patti-mcgettigan-dies-after-long-battle-with-cancer/1789507130 https://www.woodtv.com/news/former-wood-tv-news-director-industry-leader-dies-of-cancer/1788755758
