  2. Today in eye-rolling Scripps land: How not to use an ad in a weather forecast... it's down there in the corner next to the bug the whole weathercast, even covering the radar... so far it's isolated to their 10pm on WMYD. That bug is so big it covers the bottom of the last two days on their 10-Day forecast too. Incidentally the weather logo at the top STILL has the glossy abc logo and is a very fuzzy 720p like the old Scripps package. They say little things (like paying attention) go a long way to making things better...
  3. WXYZ's Assistant ND is out after 6 years. He was with WDIV for 8 years before that. Their new News Director has created a lot of turnover there. They are still in second and the housecleaning is much needed.
  4. Well he didn't have far to look then...
  5. Nice idea but... meh.
  6. Money... money.
  7. Not too bad.. their banner last night announcing the win looked horrible...
  8. His facebook and twitter were posting until the 26th with no mention of my last day or anything... makes me wonder if he was shown the door...
  9. English translation: If you won't work for food, do NOT apply.
  10. Good for him.. he was excellent here in Detroit...
  11. If it was another team in another city....
  12. But they actually look pretty decent...
  13. It looks a little small with the time and temp portion of the bug...
  14. Looks like 5 needs a new ND: http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/wmaq-news-director-named-head-of-digital-at-wtvj/180260
  15. That ticker is kind of annoying... the bug is quite nice though...
  16. Your biggest flaw is that you make logical sense... I suggest you remedy that ASAP...
  17. No changes to the actual set that I can see but they did some significant lighting upgrades... it's much brighter now and looks much better for it.
  18. WXYZ is apparently tinkering with their main set... they have been using their ancillary set since Saturday. This plus their new VO makes me think there may be some changes when the VIZ switch finally happens which may be soon...
  19. Ronnie Dahl is leaving WXYZ to work for the ATF. She came over from WJBK in 2013.
  20. Karen Drew adds the 530 to her duties. She currently anchors the 4. Both begin November 14th.
  21. Yes... it's usually Sunday thru Thursday... Sunday is the highest viewership of the week.
  22. Kimberly Gill was hired to replace Carmen and Carmen has been doing scaled back hours for a couple years. Never a question or contest for her replacement over there.

    In Memoriam

    WXYZ personality John Kelly has died at 88. He started at WJBK in 1965 and went to WXYZ in 1970 and spent the 70's alongside Bill Bonds as the original anchor pairing for Action News. He also hosted the talk shows Kelly & Co. from the mid 80's to mid 90's and Good Afternoon Detroit in the early 80's, both on Channel 7.
  24. Live or taped?
  25. Promotions... Katie Kim to Investigative Reporter Regina Waldroup to full time General Assignment Reporter http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/wmaq-promotes-2/177918
