Breaking News

Once again the Mouse House at ABC thinks the audience needs another Lifestyle and news show. Because NBC does it doesn't mean ABC needs to be a copycat. So when 2022 will daytime tv be game shows, and news shows? These same shows can be found on cable and you have cable news on all day. Television audience needs to be entertained and as long Cheeto man, in D.C. on Penn Ave. How long could the audience endure his reality show? The viewers need escape television that will make them forget about their problems and the problems around the world.

No Live Regis & Kathie Lee orinigally aired on WSYX in the 80s at 9am then it moved to WCMH around 93-94 then moved to WBNS late 90s. I'm need you to take a trip to the main library downtown Columbus and pull up the old tv schedules on microfilm.

Ellie Merritt to leave WCMH/NBC4 [5pm news] at the end of the month to spend more time with her family. http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2018/5/22/another-nexstar-anchor-is-out

WXIA-TV Channel 11 did a series of fire reports in 1994 along with the fire department. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=sijBhqwbeWQ;t=9

Don't forget mother/daughter combo at WXYZ Diana Lewis and Glenda Lewis. They also anchor a newscast together.

http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2018/5/3/crossing-the-street-in-nashville FTVLIVE.com is hearing iconic anchor Demetria Kalodimos is in talks with WZTV/FOX 17. I was thinking she would be in talks with WTVF as 5 &10pm anchor or WKRN her and Mueller together giving Nashville a strong. As Holt & Mueller been together for a long time. Sinclair has gotten talent from competiting stations in markets. WSYX was able to get WBNS castaways to come on down the road. As well many folks at WKEF in Dayton were able to get folks from WHIO.

is this when Donna was with Dan before getting w/ Tim and the hole sordid story.

They're already..both station look and feel the same. So much different from years ago.

There was no doubt that WSOC was back on top. I think they lost one ratings period, and people are like the house is on fire. Cox makes sure their on top in Atlanta, Charlotte, Orlando, Dayton and I believe they should of never caved into FOX with KTVU.

KDNL was owned by River City which owned WSYX, KOVR, WLOS until all stations were brought by Sinclair in the mid 90s. KDNL newscast wasn't bad. Was the Koplars even interested in being an ABC affiliate which was more high profile vs WB or being an Indy outlet?

Life at KOMO 4 with Sinclair it a good read and with all the things going on in the Sinclair culture. https://crosscut.com/2018/04/how-life-changed-komo-when-sinclair-came-seattle?utm_source=Crosscut+weekly+two+ads+-+April+7&utm_medium=email

So was ABC considering dumping KTVI before the 1995 switch? When it was announced in the 1990s just like the CBS affiliates jumping to find new homes. Did ABC consider KPLR at first in 1994, because I'm sure when ABC saw that this would happen and they could of bought KPLR like CBS did with Atlanta and Detroit. Did KTVI really dump 6pm news to run Geraldo? Also the Party Machine didn't last a season.
