When WWJ/62 CBS did a newscast produce by sister station WKBD 50 which was the former FOX then UPN now CW.

She left own her own because she got her own show. 1st on HLN and then she got another show on Current TV. The story I heard was that Joy wanted to leave on her own, and she wasn't coming back. ABC is heavy on research and focus groups and the research said that audience didn't care for Elisabeth Hasselbeck. So ABC felt it needed to get rid of Elisabeth, but ABC was hesitant about letting Joy go. There was some pressure that they didn't want the show to be too liberal or too conservative. At the end ABC said let them both leave at the end of their contract to usher them out. Brian Frons was the head of ABC Daytime 2002-2011; but when All My Children & One Life to Live got the boot. Many people wonder what was the state of the daytime dept. Brian left, many people hated him for the slaughter of the (2) soaps. Vikki Dummer, came in follow by Lisa Hackner now Rebecca Campbell...However make note Anne Sweeney wanted to kill all 3 soaps on ABC at the same time. However this could be The View last season as well too.

WDIV

Can't believe she retiring 20 years at WXIA and almost 30 years in the Atlanta market. Carmen Harlan in Detroit now Brenda Wood in Atlanta. WOW!

WEAR-TV Channel 3 in Pensacola, FL (1994) open WEAR-TV (1989) Newscast

Here a snap shot of the ratings in the Cleveland market. Now this was from 2013, but from findings WKYC 2nd place at 6PM, but haven't found anything from 14,15 or present day in 16. http://www.partnersriley.com/and-in-local-tv-the-winner-is/

Brad Good leaves KOMO Morning News in Seattle. http://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/news/2016/09/21/exclusive-broadcaster-brad-goode-leaves-komo-for.html

Yeah I agree. When WEWS used to owned the market, and WOIO is looking better then there's a problem. 4th place is where WEWS should get used to.

http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/detroit-station-names-new-evening-anchor/178744 Not surprise, but I'm sure Rhonda is mad. She been itching for Carmen's job.

Rhonda been doing mornings since 1998, but that when she was doing traffic over at FOX 2. In 2003, she jump ship to Channel 4 doing the morning news, but in 2007 for a hot minute she was doing the 5PM News. Not sure if it was for the hour-long or if it was 30 minutes. That didn't last long, so she was placed back on the morning news. WDIV has alot of castaways from FOX 2 and a few from WXYZ. Their talent bench is heavy. I still can't believe Carmen, is retiring. I just think the station would have her continue in some role, where they bring her out for special reports. She been the face of that station forever. There was a time back when WJBK/TV2 was CBS they were courting Carmen to jump ship.

Rhonda Walker has been itching to get Carmen's job. Many Detroiters would say Ruth wanted Carmen's job. Lila wanted Ruth's job and Rhonda wanted Lila's job. However, Rhonda Walker has been itching to get Carmen's job, but it seems that Kimberly is the ideal candidate, but we should see how it all will play out. I wonder if they would move Karen Drew to morning news/noon. Rhonda at 4,5 and Kimberly at 6/11.

WDIV's lead female anchor Carmen Harlan set to retire in Nov after 38 years with the station. Nov 11, final air date. http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/detroit-broadcasting-legend-carmen-harlan-to-retire-from-wdiv-local-4-in-november

FTVLIVE.com is reporting WTSP's Chief Meteorologist Jim Van Fleet is out! http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2016/9/21/out-the-door-in-tampa

Well, I guess Jan Jeffcoat moving to the morning news, Andrea doing noon news. 5pm Adam/Lesli, 6pm Leon/Lesli, &7pm, Bruce Johnson, 11pm Leon/Adam- Now that's my wishful casting. However, TEGNA probably wouldn't go for it though.

It would behoove W*USA9 to pick-up Leon Harris for their evening shows at 6&11pm.

How in Chicago, do they get away with that? With CBS 2 airing the show while The U airs it too.

a.) Not to sound like an ageist, but Amanda is in her 60s now and is probably focusing on her sobriety. b.) Karen going to go work for the deaf community. c.) Sounds like FOX O&O is trying to streamline as much as it can with WAGA being a powerful O&O outlet. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/waga-morning-anchor-leaving/177306 http://radiotvtalk.blog.ajc.com/2016/08/31/good-day-atlanta-host-karen-graham-leaving-fox-5-after-16-years/ Erica's getting married and going to work for WNBC/ 4 New York. http://radiotvtalk.blog.ajc.com/2016/08/31/investigative-reporter-erica-byfield-leaving-wsb-tvchannel-2-action-news-after-five-years/

No, I agree with you on that. I just hate seeing every station wanting to identify itself with affiliate/channel #/News at the end. That's generic branding I like to call it. I feel tv stations use to have it own identity back in the day. Yes, some had Eyewitness News, NewsChannel, Action News, etc. I think they should of keep the NEWS 10 brand.

No surprise here, and I was told It already in play, and I was told this a year ago. I've been hoping TEGNA/Gannett becomes winner of 'BNS & 'THR. End of an era for the Wolfe Family which has been a staple in the Capital City.

Pls, God don't speak CBS Action News horrible brand news just either go back to 19 Action News or CBS 19. WFTS has a horrible brand name ABC Action News. Might as well place that up there with WGCL's Clear News.

WSB-TV continue the trends of it powerful domination by is corporate newsapaper ajc. http://radiotvtalk.blog.ajc.com/2016/08/15/atlanta-tv-ratings-wsb-tv-dominates-most-of-the-day-in-local-news-and-programming/ Judge Judy at 4pm beats Action News at 4pm.. Somebody call John & Monica out of retirement.

WGN's Robert Jordan to retire next month. http://www.robertfeder.com/ http://www.robertfeder.com/2016/08/14/wgns-robert-jordan-to-retire-with-profound-gratitude/#more-12133
