  1. Even in times of competitive spirit, it's best to put aside the differences and come together for those in bereavement. Well done, KOCO.
  2. If that was the case, then Scripps would also place KSHB and WFTS in the auction as well. Honestly, WMAR has to wait like a vulture for WJZ to royally mess up and then and only then can they have a shot at being WBAL's new rival.
  3. I'm confused. What are the WPNT call letters supposed to mean?
  4. The WYTV Daybreak anchors doing "Uptown Funk"
  5. WKBN and WYTV on Dec 10, 2007, the first day of the SSA WKBN: WYTV:
  6. Off-topic but why doesn't Disney move Mike and Mike to the main ESPN channel instead? I know it probably gets less viewers than Sportscenter but it will make Mike and Mike more of a household name in the ESPN family. But, I'm glad that at least GMA and M&M will be able to collaborate and even have an occasional tie-in thanks to this move to Times Square.
  7. Well I'm probably in the majority and I think the open lost some punch and now it looks mismatched with the L3s unless NBC plans on changing them in the fall.
  8. WKBN News Break from 1989:
  9. On April 20, The Now is going on another victim, I mean, station: WRTV. Just saw a promo for The Now and they're kind of promoting it as a regular newscast. Hopefully, Scripps is going to polish the turd by the time it's on RTV6
  10. I wonder if it's going to be similar in concept to KDKA's Pittsburgh Today Live? If so, then WCCO might have a hit unless the Today Show on KARE and Live on KSTP get really good ratings.
  11. Just saw a pic of of the Texas Thunder Truck and it makes the TIV from Stormchasers look subtle.
  12. I thought KSDK was a powerhouse in ratings in St. Louis. Am I seriously missing something here?
  13. AFAIK, Cox is similar to post-LIN Media General in that it's pretty hands-off in standardizing.
  14. KMCI dosen't air a 9PM news but did between 2000 and 2003. It got cancelled simply because it was getting trounced by WDAF. With KSMO and KCWE now having their 9PM news produced by KCTV and KMBC, respectively, KMCI really won't be able to make much headway, especially considering KSHB is having ratings struggles of its own.
  15. At least one of the legacy Gannett stations (WKYC) keeps its bug on during the weather.
  16. Looks CNN-like to me
  17. Only if Celebrity Name Game and Family Feud doing poorly.
  18. Here in Youngstown, we are mourning the loss of a weather legend, Don Guthrie, who lost his fight with pancreatic cancer: http://wkbn.com/2015/01/26/beloved-meteorologist-don-guthrie-passes-away/
  19. Our favorite broadcaster is partnering up to test news drones at FAA sites: http://www.carolinalive.com/news/story.aspx?id=1149728
  20. For all we know, ABC might move General Hospital to 11am ET and put "GAA" in the 2pm slot. Granted, I don't know if GH would drag down affiliates' midday newscast numbers but at least "GAA" would be able to do hand-to-hand combat with The Talk instead of competing with the juggernaut that is The Price is Right on CBS.
  21. How about Tom Holden at WKBN? He not only embodied the station ethos at the time but also the Youngstown area itself. He anchored from 1972-2005 and his legacy is still alive at WKBN to this day.
  22. My prayers go out to those at Sinclair and also to Doug Gealy's family.
