It easy to say he should be grateful, but at 80+ years of age he not going to play the game to make management feel good about themselves. I'm sure we either have grandparents in their late 70s/early 80s or know someone in that age demographic. At that stage of life they don't care about saving face or making sure someones feelings are not hurt. They say what on their mind, and don't give a shit if your mad, sad or upset with what they say. They speak their minds and keep it moving and that the life of being crotchety in your golden years.

WDSU's classic Open from Gari's Good News and I had to find one with Lynn Gansar: WWL News classic Open from Stephen Arnold: WVUE classic Open from Gari's News Series 2000:

Jennifer Johnson leaves WSMV/ Channel 4 in Nashville, after 13 years. http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2015/12/21/siging-off-in-nashville In Chicago, it was told that Harry Porterfield retired from the CBS owned WBBM, but Harry said he was told his contract wasn't going to be renew at CBS 2, so he didn't come back for the final farewell broadcast. http://www.robertfeder.com/2015/12/17/cbs-2-announces-harry-porterfield-retirement/

Pam Giganti's last day was Friday, Dec 11, 2015 at WTVJ/ NBC 6 in Miami. http://www.tvnewsinsider.com/story/miami-anchor-retires/

Could anybody see Channel 11 having an hour block of news from 6:30-7:30 PM? Where the 6:30 could grow into another 30 minutes at 7PM? Add EXTRA or one of those Entertainment Magazines shows at 7:30 PM, there you go Channel 11.

Jim Blue out at Toledo's NBC affiliate WNWO. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/jim-blue-out-at-wnwo-its-a-little-complicated/160044

Carol Williams at WCPO will move to the 5 & 6pm news starting next month and will retire Jan of 2017. Tanya O' Rourke moves into the 11pm news. http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2015/12/6/signing-off-in-cincy

Brendan McLaughlin will leave the ABC affiliate WFTS in Tampa on Dec 18 after 21 years with the station. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/brendan-mclaughlin-leaving-wfts/159766

WXIA is alerting the public that Tomorrow AT&T /Direct TV will lose their services. http://static.11alive.com/DIRECTV/

I'm obsess with some old clips of WCBS-TV when there were Channel 2 News with Ernie, Carol, Michele, Dana. The WCBS News Theme, Total News, Palmer News Package. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftEFEH8yYUA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0WkJDbtKXo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXvQNJgpGa0

WOW... good for him

WPEC anchor John Discepolo has been off the air since October 15th. Discepolo caught a rare nerve disorder. http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2015/10/28/south-florida-anchor-off-the-air-with-rare-nerve-disorder

Another win for Lester Holt in the ratings. http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2015/10/27/another-win-for-lester-holt

Here something maybe somebody can elaborate on. So in certain Sinclair markets such as; KGBT, KVII, WPDE, KTUL. Those stations have the new Sinclair web design. When you click on the bio page for the anchors/reporters. They have all the faces on their website. Is it me or why does the pictures look blurry, but when you click on them individually their pictures are clear?

If the MG deal with Nexstar goes through Colleen will soon follow and Jym contract up in 2017. It will be an end of an era for Newswatch 4, News 4: The News Channel, NewsChannel 4, NBC4.

Me personally I feel they could do a anchor shuffle over at WAGA. Isn't FOX Sports South at WAGA? Send Ron Gant over there. I know he a popular former Braves player. Send him over to FOX Sports South, and move Tom Haynes the Good Day and have Stephany/Cynne at 5pm, Lisa/Russ at 6, Cynne/ Russ at 10, Stephany solo at 11pm.

Demarco Morgan leaving WXIA for CBS News. Is it even official that Stephany going over to FOX 5 or speculation? Stephany team up with Cynne at 5 and do 11pm Edge News if she does go over to WAGA, but her Brenda teaming up on WXIA would be good move for them, but not probably going to happen. WXIA losing too many people.

I don't think ABC would want to lose one of their best affiliates, plus they have a few years left on their contract with ABC/Disney. Hearst & ABC have such a strong relationship and CVB ratings have always been tops. Ed doesn't like to sell, so again it 1988 all over again this time with WHDH. Ed needs some more station in his portfolio. If NBC wants Channel 7 I wonder if he could make a deal with Cox to get FOX 25 in the market.

In: Former KLAS anchor Dayna Roselli will be doing the morning news this time on KTNV. http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2015/10/1/back-in-the-game Possible Out : WHDH's NBC affiliation http://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2015/09/30/talks-between-nbc-could-shake-boston/ZtdmbRyk22jycRoHY8IUDI/story.html

I think The McKinnons are going to keep KUSI in the family fold. I don't think they will sell San Diego and was surprise they sold their Texas shops.

Indy biggest news anchor is out at WISH-TV8. Eric Halvorson is leaving at the end of the week. ( With Rumors of Nexstar buying MG it only a matter of time before the good folks at WISH leave for the competition. I see Eric & Debby together again at CBS 4 next year.) http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2015/9/30/out-the-door-in-indy http://www.ibj.com/articles/55081-lead-anchorman-halvorson-out-at-wish-tv Cheryl Jennings at KGO-ABC7 leaving the anchor desk for "special projects" http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2015/9/30/off-the-anchor-desk-in-san-francisco

I agree with you, and not only that but ABC & FOX are two different networks as well too. Yeah it a mess.

Cynitha Demos at CBS4 in Miami gave her 2 weeks notice.... http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2015/9/29/another-one-out-the-door-in-miami Jasmine Huda out at KMOV 4 in STL http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2015/9/29/passed-over-in-st-louis

NBC 33 in Baton Rouge is now Local 33. {Local Branding seems to be the flavor of moment for Nexstar }
