You have two pictures where one has alot of people and another picture doesn't have alot of people. So, what the problem, again? Anybody with eyeballs that not blind can see the difference if not one should go seek an eye doctor for glasses, or contacts or maybe an eye seeing dog. Don't understand why it was blown out of proportion, but The Leader of the Free World, said it was so. Oh yeah I forgot " The Alternative Facts" thing, what was I thinking & drinking? Hmmmm (damn you MI, PA, WI)

Ajit Pai name tapped to be FCC Chairman http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/trump-picks-ajit-pai-to-be-fcc-chairman/184614

I wonder about that, because WDIV was the first station in the group chain to do the "Local" branding followed by the other stations in the group. I was told that DIV and XYZ were dead heat in the ratings at the time. Some consultant came through and the suggestion was to rename it Local 4, and the next ratings period Channel 4 over took Channel 7 in the Detroit ratings.

Do we think WSLS will become Local 10?

WBZ/Boston [then NBC]

WBAL-TV 11/ [then CBS] Baltimore with former WSYX & WBNS anchor Carol Costello now at CNN. WBAL-TV 11 [1998 NBC]

KTVI/ Channel 2 in St. Louis [then ABC]

Kristyn leaves to go to WCPO where Yolanda, will start in July. I think Jerry Revish will retire in May, and by summertime Jeff Hogan/ Yolanda Harris will be the face on the evening news. Carol is set to retire sometime this month from WCPO, and Kristyn, would start at WCPO sometime in April. Kristyn will probably anchor 5-6PM & 7PM http://www.wcpo.com/news/local-news/top-journalist-and-anchor-kristyn-hartman-joins-wcpo-9-on-your-side http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/life_and_entertainment/2017/01/15/wbns-tv-anchor-hartman-leaving-for-cincinnati.html

Sinclair giving out plaques to employees from the "Sinclair Connecting" Meeting. Does this mean a Sinclair station can challenge the status quo on someone who's "politics lean the same way Sinclair does"? Just asking... http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2017/1/11/the-sinclair-meeting

I wonder if he's being push out of his job with TEGNA being so douchie. That morning news on WWL has been the cat meow, and I wonder about Sally Ann? I wonder if he will pop up over at FOX 8? Alot of WWL's castaways go over to WVUE.

Andrea Cambern is living the good life in California, where her husband is a VP at Chase, so no not coming back, and she doing some freelance work or working part time at the local newsapaper. Kaylor is reitred in Arizona, but doing some commerical work. Nope! Cabot is committed to 4, but let see if that still the case when Nextstar moves in. Mike Davis yeah he was super fat late 90s early 2000s, but looks like he lost some weight. IMO Kelly and Kendrick got on my nerves. Bill Kelly, is too hype up on some drugs, and Robert Kendrick seems too stiff. Bob, worked at WFTS & KUSA, but he get on my nerves. William Kelly, worked at Sacramento, Spokane and Phoenix, but Chris Bradley seems like the sane one vs. Kelly. Chris Bradley scares old ladies (which he was doing and the station had to telling him to calm down) Bill Kelly, seems like he either doped up on meth or Percocet. I will say they made a good team, but I like Yolanda/Gabe/Jerry over Yo/Bob/Bill.
