Breaking News

Maybe in this climate, but over the years many other names in the market came from smaller markets and made a name for themselves.

I see Jerry moving into retirement. He 70 yrs old, and I see Dom & Angela Pace (who upstairs) all moving into retirement once things settle down. I would see Tracy & Mike being the more established ones still there. As well Yolanda, and I was told BNS paid some big bucks to bring her from down the street. Now I don't know, but under Sinclair, she was barely hitting $100,000. I assume they pony up at least $200,000. Andrea Cambern was making 250+ but when Angela Pace was doing the news she was making close to $500,000 and even got more when she moved upstairs. That why I think she will retire because of her paycheck.

I kept wondering why Karina Nova, didn't want the job. She had been traffic anchor and definitely a rising star, and thought she would be good in that role. I hope she does sticks around. TEGNA likes young people.

I knew Maureen was going to the State but didn't know Shelby got a State job too. WOW! Another thing is WBNS doesn't have a main weekend evening anchor. They've been having Jerry, Shelby, Scott and a series of rotation anchors do weekend evenings.

Yeah, and I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell. They didn't know.? They knew because it was a couple of BNS employees that told me that it was a matter of time. The Dispatch, ONN and it was only a matter of time before they would sell. The old man died and his children didn't see any interest in owning a television operation. The problem has been the folks at BNS has rode the wave for a long time, and being a family owned station they had it all. Now, they have to compete in this new era being held by a company that owns more than (2) stations. Yes, The Wolfe family has had its hand in a lot of things, but they knew it was a matter of time. The hiring of Ms. Harris from down the street was a band-aid to keep the popularity of the station brand going. Gannett did own WLWT back in the 90s, so you want them back under TEGNA control. Hearst has made gains with WLWT moving #2 in early evening moving WCPO (3rd). I see Hearst as stable and steady. They have their hands in other areas besides media. If Cox (Terrier) don't work out. I definitely want Hearst getting Cox stations. It wasn't as quiet. Yolanda gave her a shout out and it was put out there. Now another one has left that was very quiet. Was Shelby Kroft who came from WISN. Well, guess what? They knew it was a matter of time. I had spoken to a couple of BNS employees who told me that they knew the writing was on the wall. What are they upset about? Are they upset that the children didn't want to keep the station? That 535 million looks good and the family will keep their real estate holdings. Gimme a break! Yes, it an end of an era I will say that, but the folks at TEN TV have been spoiled. Now they know what the folks at WSYX & WCMH have gone through over the years. They will be ok.

It going to take by the end of the year before the deal is approved. I do see many of the older established talent moving into retirement. Jerry is 70 yrs old. Any changes will be 2020 going into 2021. I do see Jerry, Dom and probably Angela Pace (who upstairs) who are high price talent. Despite somethings, I don't like about TEGNA, it not as bad as Sinclair or Nexstar. Dispatch did on their website as well too. https://www.dispatch.com/news/20190611/wolfe-family-sells-broadcast-group-including-wbns-tv-for-535-million Nothing on 5pm news.

I knew TEGNA would get those two stations. Hearst is very picky and uppity so to speak. Meredith and Graham IMO should be making some backroom deals, for Graham to continue. Sinclair & Nexstar have their footing in the market. WBNS will stay the same for NOW, later in 2020 into 2021 it will not be the same Wolfe Banks News and Shoes. I think it great to shake up the market, and BNS yes it a legacy station, but the tide as turn. Time for a new era in market 34.

I'd told you all that the Wolfe Family was going to sell. Getting Yolanda Harris from WSYX was just a band-aid. The Old man died and his children were itching to sell. The Dispatch, ONN all have been gutted. It was bound to happen. As for WBNS yes, it an end of an era, but now WSYX & WCMH can battle for top spot. WBNS may stay #1, but TEGNA a hot mess at times. WOW. Definitely, want to know what going on at Twin Rivers Dr. I always thought TEGNA would be apart of BNS fabric.

Hardly WEWS #2 @5PM..As for WOIO of course.., but WEWS needs to step their game up..Sad that Scripps & TEGNA both look like each other.. WJW does well, but let see how long that last with Nexstar...

What about Sharon Reed? Philly is her hometown, and she once worked at NBC10. She has left CBS46. Could she be in-line for the 5 pm job or am I'm grasping at straws?

According to FTVLIVE.com Jeffrey Adam Zucker took several CNN on-air talent to breakfast to bitch about the ratings. The pushback was maybe the audience is tired of hearing about Trump. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2019/5/23/exclusive-jeff-zucker-takes-cnn-anchors-to-breakfast

I don't see Jim retiring from Action News. He will die doing the news. Rick Williams will be waiting for some time. Do you think Lucy will get the 5 pm anchor job at WPVI?

He does well in the investigation area, but he not lead material anchor. Irika, I think she just a news reader. Idk if she did any reporting at WFOR. There always the one that just read the news & those that are versatile as anchor/reporter. I wonder if the station would let her do any legal material since she has a law degree in her background.

R.I.P. Doug Adair he & Mona took NewsWatch 4 to #1...Got to meet him, and he was a genuinely nice man..

But this is WGCL/CBS46, but house money on Shon Gables will get the job over Tracey.
