Longtime WTTG anchor Tony Perkins announces his departure from the station. Perkins had worked at WTTG from 1993-1999 before leaving for a stint at Good Morning America, returning to WTTG in 2006 where he most recently worked on Friday & Saturday mornings. He will continue his afternoon drive radio show with the legendary Donnie Simpson.

That's what the arrangement was at WJLA when Doug Hill and Bob Ryan were there together. Doug typically did the noon and 5pm shows while Bob did 6 and 11pm, but working together during any kind of major weather outbreak.

They had Beau Minnick for many years, he left earlier in the year for a gig with the Raleigh Chamber of Commerce.

I miss the days of the bizarre FOX specials. When Bizarre FOX Specials Attack, tomorrow at 9! #JustOneFOX

Looks like she'll be moving across town again to FOX 5. I don't know where she would end up there, I'd imagine she would only want to leave WRC if she were up for a weekday anchor gig, much like Annie Yu leaving WTTG for WUSA. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2018/12/18/look-whos-crossing-the-street-in-dc

When Ellen first started, she was on from 11am-noon on WRC and was later moved to her current 3pm timeslot when Dr. Phil moved over to WTTG and later WUSA.

I like Maurice, I think he'd do great.

Angie Goff leaving WRC effective today. I'm honestly surprised, I know she's definitely a viewer favorite here in DC, going back to her days across town at WUSA. https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Angie-Goff-Says-Goodbye-to-News4_Washington-DC-502874451.html?_osource=SocialFlowTwt_DCBrand&fbclid=IwAR20wvwLO2nRBMEMWUjMc6FF6pFMYAsBx825V8j6Qmt91AMiuieA2YJkWSY

Are there plans to launch this in other O&O markets? I would lean towards LA or Chicago starting next if this works out.

There we go, thanks! . Hopefully they'll update the CBSN apps for this, I just checked my iPhone and Xbox One, nothing there yet.

I'm getting the main CBSN on both links. I wonder if it's restricted to the NYC DMA?

Just tried to watch it, couldn't find any link.

I don't know how Regis' health is these days, but I'd love to see him come back and co-host with her during her farewell week. Hasn't he filled in for Hoda in the past?

Kathie Lee Gifford announces her departure from The Today Show effective April 2019. https://variety.com/2018/tv/news/kathie-lee-gifford-to-leave-nbcs-today-1203086628/?fbclid=IwAR3UF_gCwqgAN0xjtB-oYL8hLDsCvbjwYVMD45k3R8wJ3XUvNPXZFMdqsbI

WSBK had it during their UPN years IIRC.

@Weeters Could I get a link to the Discord please? I tried to DM you but it said I'm limited to "0 messages a day" So far I'm happy with what y'all have done here, looking forward to what's next!!!

WBFF chief meteorologist Vytas Reid collapsed on the air during his forecast, expected to be okay. https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/weather/bs-md-fox-45-meteorologist-20181101-htmlstory.html?fbclid=IwAR1-i7157k5vk5mFJ9U6D7alNff4_SjxsYhizdZrvNalrY3u7Z6JZEAozVo

I don't see the issue with it. WRC morning anchor Aaron Gilchrist has been going to NYC to do weekends on MSNBC for awhile now, which surprises me because I figured he could do that from the DC or Capitol Hill building.

NBC News tells 1010 AM WINS that next week the 9am hour of TODAY will be hosted by "other TODAY co-anchors".

I remember watching him at the hell hole of WOAY, glad I'm able to see him again.

Per FTVLive, former WTTG weekend morning co-anchor Annie Yu will soon be named weekday morning co-anchor across town at WUSA, replacing Jan Jeffcoat. I'm happy for her, she's long since deserved a weekday anchoring gig.

I noticed that WRC is starting their Saturday morning newscast at 5:30am now. Not sure if this will extend to Sunday (I've set my DVR just in case) or if this is some bizarre one-off appearance at that time. Previously they aired a week in review show called News 4 This Week.

That's a name I haven't heard in years, I hadn't heard anything about him since his second go-around at WCCB.
