WALA-FOX 10-1996

How times have changed with WVUE is now in the catbird seat. Those are big changes for FOX 8.

I think he would bring the leadership CBS has wanted since the Walter Cronkite days. CBS and these cuts have been an ongoing thing since the 80s. CBS Evening News isn't NBC or ABC which is short story form newscast because people attention spans are short. The Evening News does a good job, but CBS been third since the late 80s and still struggling in resources and etc. You made some really good valid points and with this pending sale it seems CBS News still doesn't move the needle. It going to be business as usual. Brian would be great, and didn't CBS offered him the Evening News back several years ago?

Can CBS afford him with all the cuts?

Former WGRZ & WXIA ND & Now Tegna’s VP of News, Ellen Crooke is set to leave the company at the start of next year. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2024/9/10/out-at-tegna

John Bachman posted he no longer on Action News Jax.

WATN-TV News Director Denisha Thomas leaves the station, but stay within the TEGNA. She'll be News Director at WXIA in Atlanta. https://tvnewscheck.com/journalism/article/wxia-atlanta-names-denisha-thomas-news-director/

KERA PBS station did a story about the two stations in Dallas/Ft.Worth in 1976.

Yeah a major hack at that. If you ever listen to The Powers that be podcast. He never painted in a good light.

I think so as well. It sounds like WarnerBros Discovery CEO is ok with losing the NBA rights on TNT. I told someone that TNT version is way better than ESPN doing NBA basketball.

WWJ needs something before the other two... However both WCCO & KTVT have good sets. WCCO has always been CBS' better child because they have always stayed on top unlike NYC, LA, Chicago. CBS bought WCCO in 1992 and they have never been a CBS corporate station or tone. Just the same station that always had a solid newscast and despite the competition still kicks them in the ratings. There probably some favor at WCCO.

WNT is so over the top. I grew up with Jennings, but NBC & CBS has less stereo than ABC. Which is refreshing and you made some really great points too!

What do you make out that Devin Scillian didn't take the buyout? Will he get renewed on the next contract cycle? He been a mainstay for 30 yrs.

Graham doing buyout packages wonder if that "really it." CBS has named Jennifer Lyons the interim President and GM of CBS Detroit. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2024/5/16/surprise-new-boss-named-at-cbs-detroit

Scripps itself is in shambles and it only a matter of time when they're headed to the auction block for their stations. Hilton H Howell, Jr. from Gray TV has entered the room [cough cough]

Spoken like an executive out of touch with the audience. You'll be surprised at what the audience actually knows about the stations ins and outs. You have a segment of the audience that a hardcore fans of everything about the station. If WABC or KABC ever dropped Eyewitness News-wonder what would be the take on this board, but the audience would definitely have something to say a well too!

People always notice that funny part thinking they will forget. People will always remember. People were upset when WXIA dumped 11Alive moniker in the 90s.

I hate to say this, but the poster does have a point. Yes, there's alot of ageism goes on in many work industries. Television news is no exception either. Chuck, still might be spry, but Sue Simmons got the boot and he didn't is very telling. Sue a year older than Chuck, and he still get to anchor one newscast where her contract wasn't renewed. Chuck and Sue were an institution together on WNBC and a pillar in NYC area, but he should of been ushered out along with Sue. The question is why? Was it because he was a man? Again, their age only separates them a year apart.
