Despite Scripps woes WTVF owns the market, and when Scripps makes their debut NewsChannel 5 has the audience hypnotize, and glad for WKRN, but they have to pass WSMV to challenge WTVF in the ratings.

@sanewsguy so has Channel 4 & FOX 29 merge into one location? Did they move into Channel4's building which was in Downtown SA? At one time both stations were separate, but they did move into someone building? Also did KSAT12 move into their new building yet, and are they going to get an actual set in the new digs?

Channel 8 WISH-TV new ND comes right next door from WBNS-TV in Columbus, OH. Elbert Tucker moving over to Indy to head the news division at WISH-TV.

Maybe Diana Sullivan can return to KPHO 5

Ann State quits after nine months on KOIN 6 News in Portland, OR...

Now more changes are in store for the ever changing CBS46/ CBS Atlanta once again. From Rodney Ho at the ajc.com; Stephany hasn't signed a new renewal and is expected to leave when her contract is up, but not sure when the actual date is but it's soon. Others have left the station as well too and the following are; Bernard Watson, Frank Wiley who now going to WEWS/Cleveland, Mike Paluska's contract wasn't renewed, Renee Starzyk wasn't renewed as well too. Renee went on to say that "The news director doesn't speak or make eye contact with you", so what will happen next at CBS46? Will Sharon Reed becoming to the Big A? Let stay tune to the souring saga of CBS46 in Atlanta......

Former KRON4 & KNTV reporter Tom Sinkovitz is dealing with stage 4 lung cancer. http://richliebermanreport.blogspot.com/2015/04/tom-sinkovitz-bay-area-tv-news-veteran.html

@Rasta Farian why would they get rid of Stephany Fisher? She been the familiar face on the ever changing CBS46/CBS Atlanta. For Karyn to go back to the station she started when it was an Indy outlet to CBS affiliate I can see that. As for Sharon Reed, because FTVLIVE.com reported she was spotted meeting with station execs. Stephany has been a main stay with the station for 12 years.

Rodney Ho reports WSB-TV Diana Davis retired from the station after 32 years last Friday. No Fanfare, and no big party. What going on in market #9?

I did see on facebook that Mike Landess' wife still lives in Denver so he commute back from Colorado & Texas. I wonder how he feels to be back at Gannett, so much has changed since he left WXIA. I wonder if he has any Gannett stock left?

I would think Chris Lawrence as well too, because I just don't seem him sitting on the weekends forever, but I don't think WRC would cut that 6pm from an hour to thirty minutes; that bread and butter for NBC. Just like Cox's mothership WSB will always keep that 6pm news an hour in house and have network at 7pm.

Who do you think will get Veteran Jim Vance's job? Chris Lawrence, Shomari Stone, or Aaron Gilchrist? Some heavy hitters who would want the top job by a D.C. icon?

Rodney Ho from AJC has the the official announcement that Karyn Greer out from 11Alive due to pay cut with a new contract. http://radiotvtalk.blog.ajc.com/2015/03/15/confirmed-karyn-greer-has-left-11-alive-after-15-years/

Yes, Jeff been doing double duty news & sports on 11 & WATL. I was wondering if she would jump ship back to 46 since she did work there, but in what capcity? Stephany & Co are trying to give 46 some identity. Let see how this will play out.

@ATLNEWS46 One has to wonder what going on at the house of 11Alive....First Fred now Karyn and word on the street 11 dumping sports. --SIGH---

Rodney Ho from AJC is reporting that Fred Kalil is jumping ship from WXIA/11Alive to WGCL/CBS46 as sports anchor. He been with WXIA for 22 years and they will waive his non-compete clause. Kalil starts March 23 just in time for March madness games on CBS. http://radiotvtalk.blog.ajc.com/2015/03/10/cbs46-hires-11-alives-fred-kalil-as-new-sports-anchor/ Word on the street i.e. newsblues.com Atlanta station phases out sports department so it sounds like 11 dumping sports

Fred D' Ambrosi is the new ND at WOIO/CBS19 he comes from WUSA*9 in D.C.

Will Leon Harris be doing what Jeff Barnd did? Becoming a national reporter for the Sinclair chain? Let face it you can't get older at this company because for some reason they seem not to care for someone who gets 50+ who on camera. I don't know why, because David Smith like 60, and he no spring chicken. Another theory: Will Jonathan Elias anchor 4,6pm and Leon handle the 5 & 11pm shows?

Meg Alexander of KFOR/Channel 4 in OKC is out from the station; Meg anchor the 4, 5 & 6:30pm broadcast. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/meg-alexander-reportedly-out-at-kfor/142629 Ardyth “Ardy” R. Diercks is out at WATN as GM she sent a internal email to the staff on 2.25.2015. http://www.ftvlive.com/?offset=1424867053918 has the email on it site.

WOW~ They were in fist a cuffs at Eyewitness News 4? The article goes on to say that the news director said Joles is having a hard time fitting into the this modern day broadcasting era. Does that means you think he'll be replace soon, or when his next contract cycle comes up?

News Directors corner; Julie Eisenmann leaves WJCL22/WTGS28 in Savannah for Assistant News Director at WXIA in Atlanta. Dave Ciliberti leaves WTEN in Albany, NY for WCMH in Columbus, OH both are Media General stations. Keith Conners has landed at WTNH in New Haven, CT having last worked at WTHR in Indy.

I assume Sinclair will get a new set for the station. I hope they refresh the logo.

Let all act surprise! Here the article from AJC.com http://radiotvtalk.blog.ajc.com/2015/01/26/david-chandley-going-to-fox-5-as-chief-meteorologist/

DCRTV.com is reporting Doug Hill signed a new deal with WJLA he signed a multi-year deal.

Present Day circa 1993 This Roman 11logo been on WXIA since 1993, and yes they need an updated logo....
