Have another drink J, then go home

One hopes they bring the 11am back and do something with WCL like scrap it...

There's a certain bizarre nature of a station in the #3 market without a midday newscast of some sort...

Random question: Is the Noon webcast around still? I haven't seen it pushed to my phone in a while...

Stations say only on and first on all the time even if another station has it... It's not a big deal apparently.

That would work better though I would kick Glenda to weekends and put Malcolm on the 5 with Purtan. Glenda is awful at reading copy.

The copy calls it "Action News At 5". The teaser banners say "New at 5" and "New at 530". Every open says "You're watching 7 Action News, Always taking action for you". So while WJBK and WDIV use two anchor teams during the 5pm hour and brand as two distinct half hours with times in their opens, Channel 7 has elected not to do that despite the recent changes to that hour. Even 10+ years ago when they had times in their opens the 530 one said "7 Action News At 5"... They implemented this new anchor lineup last June by the way... This is the first time Channel 7 has tried two different anchor teams for 5 and 530. It's also the only hour in Detroit TV with only black anchors. It's also arguably one of the weakest newscasts Channel 7 has... It's a shame because this was their powerhouse hour for almost 25 years...

5pm is Carolyn Clifford and Glenda Lewis 530pm is Glenda and Curtis Jackson. Dave Manney is a decent News Director and an atrocious scheduler...

Of the two Carr is most likely to land elsewhere in town...

Depending on who else they cut DIV or XYZ might pick the other 2 talents up, nobody else there was close to Feldmans age...

It's been seen every year since god knows when... At least the cars are new...

Probably because doing something local is smarter business than not...

Part of 7's problem is that they are too high on themselves...

Some people just assume TV Spy is a reliable source of info... It's not...

People feel there are other options...

One would imagine the chief meteorologist on a station in the 5th largest market could do better than weekend mornings in Chicago...

My phone just shattered into a million pieces...

What a lovely letter...

She's a bit too skinny...

Their copy writing skills would really come to the fore...

Does that lousy logo need 7's at both ends? "The All New Doppler 7 Max 7" doesn't exactly roll off the tounge.. Get cute and add ABC to one of those 7's and its unreadable... Idiots.

Looked about the same as usual to me...

There really isn't much difference between this and Scripps "Live Center" concept....

And the ship sinks a little further...

Somebody is getting axed...
