  1. Rachel Coulter joins WBTV from WLBT. Right now she will be on in the mornings. Al Conklin says she is helping out. They will apparently roll with two meteorologists in the mornings but I’m thinking Al becomes Chief Meteorologist when Eric Thomas retires and Rachel takes over permanently in the mornings. They don’t need two meteorologists in the morning. They seem to have hired a good one.
  2. Yes, she came to WJZY from WTVD. That’s probably how she got the job at ABC, being that WTVD is an O&O.
  3. Just heard former WJZY Good Day Charlotte anchor Morgan Norwood on WSOC reporting about Hurricane Ida. She is now a correspondent for ABC News. Not sure how long she has been in that position. You might remember she was let go after only a month or so from WJZY back in the winter for accidentally letting off an F bomb. Good to see her back on her feet.
  4. WJZY has picked up former WTSP sportscaster Grace Remington, who replaces Josh Sims. She left WTSP in July
  5. Former WBTV sportscaster Sammi Jo Francis is leaving KMPH Fresno. She hasn’t revealed her future plans yet.
  6. Kristi O’Conner leaving WBTV, she’s leaving TV entirely. Her last day is Wednesday. She will be staying in Charlotte. https://www.facebook.com/100058202732635/posts/255811506368939/?d=n https://www.wbtv.com/video/2021/08/21/farewell-kristi-oconnor/?fbclid=IwAR3G5tHHn5lGvMDUvTMQuWXBDoLf0JWfac3GaDbjlyEpaZ2EoaHQwXX3Vyw
  7. Sorry about that, but now you know the stations in Charlotte now carrying ATSC.
  8. WBTV, WSOC, WAXN, WCNC and WJZY added ATSC July 7.
  9. Former WJZY sportscaster Josh Sims has found work. Congratulations Josh! They are lucky to have you! I thought he might end up replacing Ken Rodriguez at WAGA but this is even better.
  10. Major retirement announcement at WBTV. He will be missed!
  11. Just now seeing this. Can’t see WMYA airing all two hours, as it already airs a 10pm news produced by sister WLOS. I could see them airing 30 minutes of it or an hour. I could see WMYV and WRDC picking up the whole broadcast. The MT and PT stations should have the option to air a repeat at 9 or 10pm their time after CW primetime. As much as a laughingstock as NewsNation is, at least they air a repeat on the West Coast.
  12. Nick Kosir the dancing weatherman formerly of WJZY has a new job in New York
  13. I know who could be taking his place. Happy retirement Ken.
  14. Josh Sims is leaving WJZY…he didn’t say where he was going. He just finished his last Charlotte Sports Live. That was the announcement.
  15. I thought this was just a one time thing because of the 25th anniversary but Charlotte is still a relatively new Nexstar market.
  16. All the stations are doing it.
  17. Happy 25 years Nexstar!
  18. Agreed. For $23 a month you should be able to get ALL the networks.
  19. Been wondering the same thing
  20. Looks like Rewind TV will be replacing QVC2 on WJZY 46.8.
  21. KTBC Senior News Director Stacy Davis passed away due to cancer after a long tenure with the station. Ann Wyatt Little who is now at WJZY worked with her. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CP8R1XXF2xB/?utm_medium=copy_link
  22. Jonathan Stacey leaving WBTV https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article251723598.html?bm-verify=AAQAAAAD_____74hrqQq1zVka93M-YyPXr-_7_uIQ5aniaFaIpR9dmFBBDzz6K-Nk0NEQp0xvKEXWbNU2SQNPSmDeO0FxzWXnv04z2w10j1yAUZHtA8tDuOrsKquRwkAtS7MZAZN8OERpvIzTI-2uQfUecHq7ga3zc5ksy86JlP0ltOEeBRDAbCWIWoSpFgFeCGQFHpHRo9DljRkKlVPm1SjWF6AxTYjb2BWqZlEMAZiillTZCMam5GKJzEzKbHb7JjPmkIE7mqkQzABpzEzi3xKbjyu8GPnXOykVB_qqf4OX8JwsuxaKvctGDyRXOkyf_gGvTB-_Q
  23. San Francisco did away with early prime after a few years. It was just their NBC and CBS station that did that. Sacramento is the only PST station that has it.
  24. Savannah started as an intern at WXIA https://www.instagram.com/p/COQeyTTp05c/?utm_medium=copy_link
