    She was always known as Shawn Ireland from her radio days and when she was on FOX28's Good Day.

    Scott from ftvlive.com had a write up about it. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2023/6/3/sinclair-broadcast-group-is-no-more During the Yolanda /Gabe era on NewsCenter on ABC6. Suzi came on and did some health reports for a couple of years. It was 2002-04/05 and left. Some on said she was sister or sister in law to Shawn Ireland. I remember Suzi on FOX 28 Kids' Club.

    Why would you assume that once Ed passed they would sell? Ed never had no reason to sell, and he said it himself. i'm sure he told his kids not to give in to corporate pressure. Yes, the family has other business properties. The small family own stations are trying to hold on to their business holdings, and they come from an old school generation.

    I thought so too, but What you think of WADL selling to Nexstar and becoming the new home to CW?
  5. Breaking News
    You bring up some good points and when Nexstar owned CW outlet in Phoenix. Come to think of it and I don't know why they didn't. Nexstar should of gotten a hold of KTVK/3TV and CW61. That would of made better sense than 3TV/CBS5.
  6. Breaking News
    I do wonder if CBS would sell WTOG once they end their CW affiliation. Also would Scripps, TEGNA or Hearst want to do combo station with their current stations in the market?
  7. Breaking News
    FOX5/KUSI soon-to-be combo will be like Denver & St.Louis' Nexstar operation. Your right because both stations air newscast at the same time. Both airing morning news, 4,5,6 & 10/11pm news. FOX5 does 1pm and 7pm. Some of those newscast are going to have to change. It's very interesting on how this will play out.
  8. Breaking News
    I was going to ask, whose building was going to be kept and whose building was going to get left behind. I assume FOX5 would move into KUSI's studios. KUSI also have a talent pool as well too. I wonder what talent would be apart of the transition and what talent would leave.

    I see CW going to WATL because when WATL was WB they were one of WB's top rated affiliates. Granted WB had better programming than CW. CW has that niche young audience. WXIA produced news for WATL so they will do an hour at 7pm and come back at 10pm. Between 8-10pm those CW shows might be get better ratings. However WANF/WPCH might do what XIA/ATL did with the news. In Detroit-Channel 20[formerly WXON I know the calls have changed WMYD] will be CW. If WADL had waited they probably would be CW.

    Sometimes KRON beating KTVU at 10pm.

    Mary Bear & John Gaughan will retire from WJXT end of the month. https://www.news4jax.com/video/local-news/2023/04/27/bittersweet-announcement-mary-baer-and-john-gaughan-to-retire-from-wjxt-tv-after-30-years/?fbclid=IwAR0PRrlY4odknkFjRb1x0Q1fHslNlyBeN_9aRUfx-B713z9ApcDa2OPHP5k

    It definitely was no doubt about that. Always wish Taft would of kept the station. I've always felt WSYX needed someone better than Sinclair running the ship. WNWO would be great under{ Nexstar} and even those big market stations like KOMO & KATU {Those stations would do even better under Gray} It would be even better if KPLR was the ABC affiliate in St.Louis. I agree they need to sell and WPMI deserve a much better owner.
  13. Breaking News
    WSYX has always been very profitable before Sinclair bought the station, and was one of few Sinclair profitable stations before Sinclair purchasing Freedom, Allbritton, Fisher and other stations from other groups. WKRC is still tops in Cincinnati. WCPO should be worry about WLWT, because some newscast WLWT beats WCPO.

    People who are 40 and older will always know the station Channel number regardless if digital age, 3D or an AI technology. I get the younger audience have a different perception , because they grew up in a different era of television. Some didn't grow up in some would call "golden age of tv" where there was only {3} networks. However, especially older viewers who been around for a long time. The Boomers will always know that station as such...

    ftvlive.com obtain a copy that WBBH/NBC2 will sell the station to Hearst.

    Once again WSB on top with over 50% of the audience share. In Feb 2023 WANF beat WXIA. Meanwhile in 2022 WGCL & WXIA were neck to neck or GCL was beating them. With WXIA ownership imperil it caused their stations to somewhat flat-line.

    When you say ratings are better than expected...how much better? For close 30 years the people of Detroit has been waiting. On another site the set was a topic of discussion. Have they talked about expanding the set. The topics have been how small it's etc. The station has the space because it inside WKBD studios from their time from then FOX/UPN. Just want to know what discussion have been had. Their newscast seems great and slow pacing. Less crime stories, so overall it does seem a well put together newscast. WWJ news certainly & hopefully nothing like WOIO or WGCL/WANF.

    Fred Kalil will retire from ATL tv in April after 30 years.

    46 has passed 11 many times in the last 15 years. When CBS' primetime was hot in 2005ish- 2009/10. When CSI was the lead-in into the 11pm news. Then WGCL 11pm was beating WXIA. When WGCL put a morning news back on and called it "Better Mornings" it was neck to neck with WXIA in the mornings. As Gannett became TEGNA and 11 changed so much due to the company mandates. 11 saw it audience shrink. Despite changes in ownership and call letters GCL/ANF.
  22. Breaking News
    Sure and you have a bridge in Arizona to sell. WSB still commands 50% of the audience share in last year ratings WSB won every newscast. When it was WGCL it tied with WXIA or beat WXIA. You definitely have to slaughter WXIA and WAGA to take on the 800lb gorilla. They will beat WXIA for sure, but they have their work to touch WAGA.
  23. Breaking News
    Jennifer Rigby- WXIA News Director is headed Gray as a consultant. Last year as WGCL- the station either tied with 11 or beat them for 3rd place.
  24. Breaking News
    That station always seems they can't keep a news director. Also KCTV in 4th place too.
  25. Breaking News
    WSYX #1 at 5, 6pm WCMH 2nd at 5pm/3rd at 6pm WBNS 3rd at 5pm/2nd at 6pm- [there a promo where they're #1 at 11pm] Would like WSYX post the 11pm numbers
