Dan Salamone has left 32 after a year... He was an EP on I think the morning show if I remember right... http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/dan-salamone-leaves-wfld-after-one-year/174642

Thats got nothing to do with WBBM's problems. Try again.

Probably weather...

There was a live report from the network available at 11... We had it off the top here...

Thanks J... I just happened to peek at it at 10 tonight and that was my first time seeing her on air. Pretty solid for a per diem. I was really surprised they had no live field reports tonight...

Who is Liz Nagy? Did I fall asleep at the switch and miss that hire?

I'm gonna try to be gentle here... 1) You could use a copy editor 2) You made several assertions in your article that don't make any sense especially when it comes to the relation of ratings to the length of time a program has aired in a time slot. It doesn't matter if 9's newscast started in 1980 and 32's in 1987 or whatever... There are several FOX O&O's making significant inroads against or beating stations established 30 or 40 years before they were. 32 suffers from horrible instability and mismanagement that is chronic and has been for several years. The place has never been quite right. 3) At least you're trying. Take this constructively please.

Mike Lowe is being made a full time reporter at the ol number 9... http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/freelance-reporter-goes-full-time-at-wgn/172405

Since when are you a moderator?

Save them from what?

We'll see if she makes it more tabloid style like WDIV, restores it to the way it was when she was competing against it or blows it up and starts from scratch. They need major work to compete in the market so this is a breath of fresh air especially coming over with experience with the market leader.

I just finished watching all of the videos that 'J put together. Very nice work. I thought they put a solid send off together.

7 got crushed in the 25-54...

It may be not good in the ratings but at least it's an actual newscast...

Tammy Leitner is leaving 5's investigative team for a correspondents job at NBC News. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/wmaq-investigative-reporter-joining-nbc-news/170514

Display a bar graph with somebody appearing to stand next to it?

Color TV at least made things look more like reality... This is just overlaying a map on top of rather than behind the meteorologist standing in the studio... One is practical and revolutionary, the other is not...

I think it looks kind of silly though.. I'm not really sure the point...

What a gimmick...

A fairly unique arrangement...

Does he do both solo?

Is she any good?

They aren't exactly awe inspiring though...

That's horrible...

WXYZ has finally added time/temp bugs to its newscasts from Noon onwards except the 11pm. Their mornings and 10pm were already using one.
