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.

Travis is Chief meteorologist while David is chief weathercaster as to why 2 chiefs who knows perhaps for severe weather etc they can tag team.

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.

WNCN seems to be looking for one.

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

In my opinion this is probably one of the best titles someone had ever given such a special.

I miss the days of the bizarre FOX specials.

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.

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.

10am-noon on an NBC affiliate is a black hole where the worst of syndication goes to die otherwise.

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.

What are the odds Maurice DuBois goes to network if in fact changes do take place?

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

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

Okay,. when you go to cbsnews.com/live, there's some square icons on top of the page. "CBSN", "CBSN New York", "CBS Spors HQ", "ET Live". Click the one that says "CBSN New York". 

That first link  I posted earlier "newyork.cbslocal.com/live" should've been streaming the local CBSN and not the national one.

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 checked out this link. On the header its says CBSN New York. But they're streaming the main CBSN Network.

Okay, scratch that. Here's the CBSN New York link here.

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?

WBZ airs Wheel and Jeopardy! since 2009.

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.

That was NOT a good choice. NBC needs to end weekend editions of TODAY. Peter needs to stay in Washington to help his wife Alison Starling.

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".

Great guy and glad to see him moving on up and to a better company than Sincrap.

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.
