Page Fehling has now left Good Day Charlotte and the noon and 4pm newscasts will be premiering in February. https://instagram.com/stories/pagefehling/2487337140659482739?utm_source=ig_story_item_share&igshid=1iwuclsh2oi0t Page’s farewell GDC post https://www.instagram.com/p/CKEwkw_JnBg/?igshid=1axvb9o55abep Why do they need three meteorologists combined for the two newscasts? (Tara, Amanda and Elisa)

At one time NBC owned WNCN.

Yeah I keep thinking it will be WRAZ if they ever split off from WRAL. It would’ve been WLFL but Capitol sacrificed WJZY/WMYT in 2013 to keep Fox on WRAZ and a few other cities.

I have several WJZY updates that I have been meaning to catch you up on...first of all, the big news, they are launching a noon and 4pm newscast “in a couple weeks” which Paige Fehling will be a part of...saw it in the comments...https://www.instagram.com/tv/CJ5y5KvJNmm/?igshid=1xblzpryufgb1 Also Brigida Mack left the station last week... https://www.instagram.com/p/CJpBSNLDBKb/?igshid=kqpxbuy0jpo7 As did the reporter who was reporting live from Taylorsville as the bridge collapsed (Amber Roberts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJfF5RyhZ-6/?igshid=w6nvx20tdby1 They did hire Morgan Norwood away from WTVD. Her first day was December 16. Paige said they will be hiring someone else for Good Day. She also said in a comment that a Morgan will be with her on the new newscasts but I don’t know if she meant Morgan Frances or Morgan Norwood. It is also not known how long the newscasts will last. The 4pm news will almost certainly last an hour...but the noon news could only be 30 minutes. This is probably why they swapped 25 Words or Less and Dr. Oz back in the Fall.

If Meredith sold all to Nexstar/Mission there would be a conflict in GSA and WHNS would have to be divested...I think there are other conflicts as well...

Apparently Capitol Broadcasting and Dish Network are now in a dispute. Dish subscribers in Raleigh/Durham have now lost WRAL AND WRAZ right after they just got WNCN back just over a week ago. Now they’ll need an antenna for Fox AND NBC football if they don’t come to an agreement by Sunday.

Tegna and DirecTV have kissed and made up. For me, just in time for SNF tonight!

This isn’t permanent but will still take some getting used to. Yet another former WBTV personality winds up on a rival station.

Mark Davenport leaving WBTV after 7 years for Spectrum News

WCNC has gone off the air. They could’ve at least done it before The Voice started

Apparently WXIA has gone dark, but WCNC is still on as of 8pm Eastern.

The crawl was on WCNC last night

If he could close on Tegna by Tuesday at 7 that would be greaaat...as a DirecTV guy maybe I could keep NBC

https://tvanswerman.com/2020/11/26/directv-could-lose-60-local-stations-monday/amp/ So I personally could be losing WCNC.

So Nexstar and Dish might be the next one. https://506sports.com/forum/index.php?topic=23469.0 This would leave Charlotte viewers without WJZY, WMYT, WSOC AND WAXN.

WCCB also did the Sun-Thur schedule when they first launched their news department. Never understood why.

WJZY did that the first year they had Fox when WBTV produced their news. And I think WCCB did that when WSOC produced theirs.

Amber Roberts and Jonathan Monté were reporting in Taylorsville today when a bridge they were standing on collapsed on the air. Thank goodness they are OK! How scary! Sometimes the news becomes the news! https://www.fox46.com/severe-weather/hiddenite-bridge-in-alexander-county-collapses-live-on-air/

Ohhhhh nooooo....this would mean no WJZY or WMYT in Charlotte, they are still without WSOC and WAXN and have been since July

Hulu is now dropping the RSN’s

People are being sympathetic...glad to see.

WJZY is another example...it will probably get it back from WCCB when that contract runs out. Ironically WCCB picked it up from WJZY after FTS bought WJZY. It won’t be on 46.2 though because it maps to WMYT 55.1.

So he came from WCNC? So that’s why it’s Wake Up Atlanta. I had known Ella was at WGCL, but just assumed it was WXIA because of it being sister stations to WCNC forgetting she was at WGCL. And it’s not even Monday.

Oops...and I was going to even put it in the Tegna board.

WGCL has rebranded their morning show as “Wake Up Atlanta.”
