  1. Motherjones.com did a story on Sinclair from the start of the company to current times. http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2017/10/ready-for-trump-tv-inside-sinclair-broadcastings-plot-to-take-over-your-local-news/
  2. Here some people out at their station After 24 years at KARE 11 morning anchor Kim Insley leaving, but across the Mississippi River in St. Paul. Over at KSTP Bill Lunn has been removed from the anchor desk at 5,6,10pm to reporting. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10159646701065457 https://www.facebook.com/KimInsleyKARE/?hc_ref=ARTV_uZraYT4XOQrv_w2a9YqBVE_7eyJO-rU7lRo5gAnt54dpx8unTtCBZLfvb6Yj24&fref=nf http://www.startribune.com/kstp-tv-s-bill-lunn-leaves-anchor-post-he-s-held-for-8-years/452312193/ Charles Gonzalez, will leave KSAT on Nov 26th to open up his coffee shop.
  3. His story seems so salacious Gurvir will sit next to Davis on the morning news ; which Gurvir replaced Davis when Davis moved to the evening news. That was 20 years ago.
  4. From FTVLIVE.com TEGNA stock price is dropping and it ripe to be sold. With TEGNA being heavy with NBC affiliates, but who would grab TEGNA? If it could be divided up between Hearst, Graham and maybe Gray (just my speculation) http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2017/10/4/tegna-is-ripe-to-be-sold
  5. I've seen ratings, and there been times where NBC10 has trump them, so if they added a co-anchor the ratings would go south?
  6. So someone answer me this. Jim Gardner been the face of Action News for over four decades. If and when Gardner retires will the 6/11pm news have the traditional male/female anchor? Does Gardner like being a solo act vs having a female sitting next time him? Always wonder how the 6/11PM newscast hasn't been integrated with a co-anchor.
  7. KSAZ still a CBS affiliate until the big switch in the Phoenix market.
  8. Bobby Kaple has left CBS46 in Atlanta, he looking to run for public office. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/cbs46-morning-noon-anchor-leaves-station/194320 Also CBS46 has moved The Young and The Restless back at 12:30pm and Crime watch Daily at 3pm.
  9. WBNS & WTHR is going through the same thing as well since Sept 6.
  10. Not this season The View will be back and GH is not in danger of cancellation, and Rebecca Campbell has 99 problems on the daytime division is not one of them at the moment.
  11. I agree! However, Mitch Jacob the news director who worked at WSYX is now at WJLA. How many on-air talents on WJLA do they have at the current?
  12. WKYC seems to never want a 5pm newscast, but talk shows have always been in place at that hour. In the 90s, Montel Williams, Jerry Springer have always been their bench mark.
  13. Changes from one Sinclair station to another. Bill Kelly the Chief Meteorologist at WSYX/ABC 6 On Your Side in Columbus, OH moves to become Chief Meteorologist at WJLA/ABC 7 in D.C. Many folks have left WSYX, and the beat continues..... http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2017/8/30/moving-to-dc
  14. Katy Tur seems like a nice girl to hang out with. I'm sure she hangs out with Kassie Hunt and Hallie Jackson, but the difference between those gals is Katy, can't read a teleprompter, but she's a good reporter.
  15. OUT: Raycom moving its digital hub from Montgomery to Atlanta http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2017/8/3/raycom-to-move-hub-to-atlanta
  16. Stupid move on 11Alive this is where CBS46 should go ahead and move that needle to third place and move 11ALIVE to 4th place.
  17. You sure it not just competition? Many anchors, ep and management do all jump to the competition to do the same job.
  18. http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2017/7/27/scripps-has-new-anchor-team-in-tulsa
  19. Sounds like they want Thomas to go, because everybody getting an opening except him.
  20. Ohio not really a red state it more purple, because it swings back in forth red, blue, red, blue. Yes, my home state is a swinger state so to speak!
  21. until somebody else takes over the job. It seems like being a news director at both WOIO/CBS 19 & WGCL/CBS46 should come with a warning sign. DANGER! Do This Job At Your Own Risk!
  22. If the Sinclair/Tribune deal doesn't go through than it a great day in America. However, if it does goes through SMH-Hmmm. Sinclair has gobbled up many other broadcast groups, so them getting #1 stations in many markets are sitting them pretty i.e. Cincinnati/WKRC, SLC/KUTV. Management at SLC/KUTV had gone on the record saying that Sinclair execs told them; Whatever you're doing continue to keep doing it, and we'll support you yadda, yadda, yadda. I think in FOX 8 case not much changes will come down the pike. I do wonder if Gabe Spiegel will have a job he did work at WSYX in Columbus. (I hope he jumps to WKYC if that be the case.) Scripps has dogged out it two big legacy stations WEWS & WXYZ both are a shell of its former self. That WEWS logo alone makes them look like market 204. Scripps probably wants to sell there been some talk on other sites, but nothing written in stone. I think they're clueless at Scripps. 5 will continue to sink and change personalities, management. 19 will do the same, but 19 product will continue to outshine 5; which is sad. That like WGCL picking themselves up and over powering WSB in Atlanta.
  23. oooh not Snoozefest 19. Sad part is 19 starting to look better than 5 in news coverage. WEWS has gone to the dogs, and it even sad when 19 starts to become the gold standard over 5. 8 continues to lead.
  24. http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2017/7/19/the-sinclair-spin
  25. KYW 3 News Director Margaret Cronan is OUT. http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2017/7/10/breaking-philly-news-director-out
