He is the 4pm anchor.

 

Per a FB post from Steve Rudin, Jonathan will also anchor the 10pm show on News Channel 8.

 

EDIT: I wonder what this means for Morris Jones?

I wonder if that's where Fred Shropshire is headed?

WCIA's Dave Benton passed away after a remarkable battle with brain cancer.

 

My thoughts and prayers are with his family as well as the folks at WCIA.

My prediction... WRAL. I could be wrong, but I maybe right.

 

 

 

My vote's on WNCN.

 

Chris Hohmann updated his post to say Fred & Sheyenne Rodriguez (also a WTVD reporter) will be moving to Charlotte. No word on what station as of yet.

Fred Shropshire announces his departure from WTVD effective Friday. No station/city announced publicly except that he will be a main anchor at "another station", which leads me to believe he'll be staying in the Triangle.

WNCN is getting a lot of negative feedback for pre-empting the Caps-Flyers game this afternoon (being aired as part of Hockey Day in America) to air the funeral for the late Dean Smith. Strangely enough the game wasn't even delegated to 17.2, viewers were just told to watch the game online.

WOWK/WVNS weekend meteorologist Kristin Ketchell announces via Facebook she'll be joining WNCN. Her last day at WOWK/WVNS is February 22nd.

 

Former WOAY chief meteorologist Heidi Moore will replace Ketchell.

What an amazing tribute to an incredible man.

 

Was very nice to see Gov. McCrory on tonight to award Larry the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, which is NC's most prestigious award for a civilian.

 

Larry Stogner's final WTVD newscast is tonight at 6.

 

WTVD is paying tribute to Larry Stogner all next week during the 6 and a week from tonight, Larry will anchor his final newscast.

 

Thanks for the past 40 years of company, Larry. You will be missed, godspeed my friend.

More anchor shuffling at WNCN. This time weekend evening anchor Mike Gonzalez switches places with morning/11am anchor Phil Sanchez.

Stan Chambers/KTLA as well.

When all is said and done, I think Dick along with Regis and Betty White will be the last three standing.

Dick Goddard signs a new multi-year deal with WJW.

Pam Saulsby announces her firing from WNCN/Raleigh via Facebook. She's been with the station since September 2012 when she was unceremoniously fired from WRAL/FOX50 where she had spent 20 years as an anchor and reporter.

WNCN Raleigh relaunches their weekend morning newscasts effective tomorrow 9am. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152678903549750

WNCN morning traffic reporter Page Crawford announced this morning she's leaving the station to join WJZY to anchor the morning news.

 

I wonder if we're finally going to have a date set in stone for WJZY's AM news?

WRAL announces that former morning anchor Lynda Loveland will return to the station to co-anchor the 7a-9a portion of their morning newscast on co-owned FOX50/WRAZ effective this Friday. Lynda originally left WRAL to co-host a morning radio show at Mix 101.5, which is also owned by Capitol Broadcasting.

 

I thought most programs considered "E/I" outside of NBC's block are live-action shows, most notably wildlife- or career-related.

 

Slightly related, for some reason, Fox Business airs an E/I compliant cartoon regarding childhood financial education on Saturday mornings called "The Centsables," and it's pretty bad. Not "Gina D's Kids Club" bad, but almost there! I believe the producers are buying time on the cable channel.

 

Nothing in this world can be as bad as The Doodlebops which used to be on CBS a few years back....

 

It's all been downhill since the introduction of the E/I guidelines of the 1990s....and rogue affiliates pre-empting these shows for weekend news. With the unfavorable demographics and all the restrictions of advertising during these shows, it's no wonder that kids programming has largely abandoned broadcast television for cable, and now Netflix and hulu....

 

Honestly, do we even need the E/I requirements nowadays? I don't see where they serve a purpose now, even in low-income households, the majority of PBS affiliates operate a 24 hour kids programming subchannel that is usually more entertaining than your average 7am cartoon on a MNTV station that no one watches.

Beau Minnick, formerly a reporter at WRAL in Raleigh has joined crosstown rival NBC affiliate WNCN.
