  1. According to Zap2it, Waynesville's Comcast system carries NBC from Jacksonville and CBS/Fox/ABC from Savannah. Plus, the system apparently goes only up to Channel 61, so it's a system Comcast never upgraded.
  2. If it was any other shop, they would’ve re-read the rules to her and suspended her AT WORST. I’m actually glad she took the high road, but STILL...
  3. Back to WOIO’s woes. From relegating Jeff Tanchak to mornings, to firing or forcing out almost every anchor and reporter worth a damn, WOIO is definitely a shell of its former self, all because Raycom wanted to “borg” WOIO into one of its stations, which itself isn’t bad. The problem is that the product was so dumbed down that WOIO now feels bush-league compared to the others. The set is nice and the graphics are nice, but WOIO doesn’t have the “faces” to be competitive, with Chris Tanaka needing a Red Bull and Tiffani Tucker STILL trying to be “Great Value Romona Robinson”.
  4. Ewww! On a more serious note, it’s replacing 4 episodes of Family Feud, so WUAB isn’t losing much. And that’s another thing! What is it with ex-Raycom stations and crappy syndication lineups?!?
  5. Only a matter of time until all of the ex-LIN shells go to Nexstar. Don’t be surprised if Vaughan is next.
  6. That’s shocking if KYES is going to air separate newscasts. Kind of thought that Gray would attempt the “News Now” route, so this is impressive.
  7. WUFT called. They want their logo back!
  8. That leaves Dr. Phil as the only syndicated show in KDKA’s lineup.
  9. Or have it all redirect to Alaskanewsnow.com eventually?
  10. My guess is that the next few months, KYES will operate the old KTVA news department until Gray likely transitions to “Alaska News Now”. That being said, it does leave Anchorage with one news department left and no, I don’t count KYUR because that news department has been gutted like a fish this past decade.
  11. I’d say the WAVE package comes close. However, that seems to be more of a “Limerick 2.0” package planned for ex-Raycom stations so even that might be mutilated mid-cycle under Gray.
  12. Hell, WKYC did a similar thing with Betsy Kling being 5pm anchor WHILE doing weather at 6, 7, and 11.
  13. I’m pretty sure this will be scrutinized, especially if Nexstar intends to do a SSA AND a JSA. If Nexstar simply does a SSA and allows Mission to handle sales, it may go thru easier.
  14. It’ll likely get approved! However, Telemundo will be dropped on the Big Island.
  15. That was the problem in a nutshell. ABC didn't really know what to do with the show and whether it wanted to be a part of the "GMA" brand. It'll be interesting as to ABC's plans in the fall for the 1pm timeslot, but I honestly hope they keep the current "GMA3" format.
  16. Looks like WGBA went the WTXL route and went without a voiceover this time.
  17. I know that WOIO (yes I know its not an O&O) has been doing streaming a "story time" and a "weather school" weekdays in the 10am hour. Also in partnership with Cleveland Metropolitan School District, WUAB airs content for the kids weekdays at 9-10am on TV.
  18. And Nexstar won’t let go of WJW unless Fox made them an offer they couldn’t refuse.
  19. Or stations have been replacing local infotainment shows with newscasts. I know WOIO has dropped Cribbs in the CLE and Sunny Side Up for a traditional 9am newscast. The only brightside to this virus is that it has made WKYC's newscasts more watchable with them focusing on the news.
  20. That's the Coming up L3 and the FSGs. Everything else is unchanged!
  21. KEYC is using Metropolis...in 2020! METROPOLIS...IN THE YEAR 2020!
  22. To tie this in, I'm praying that WEWS can make this package look much better. The Cleveland stations (with an obvious exception to WOIO) tend to punch at the weight class, so let's see what the graphics weasels at "LottoBall 5" can cook up.
  23. Somebody at KNXV must've messed with the transparency on the bugs.
