WOIO at its finest. Sure the ratings didn't reflect it sometimes but those were 19 Action News' glory days.

Or pisses off viewers like me in Akron.

Is that the VO from Inside Edition? If so, then kudos to Gray.
-
Isn't that where WOIO's current logo is from too?

From WOIO's Roku app:

Pretty much when WOIO canned "Action News" was the death knell competitiveness at Reserve Square. Axing David Wittman, plus Denise Dufala (who had been at WOIO since 1995), and Romona Robinson pretty much sealed Snoozefest 19's fate. Now they're trying to build around the "19 First Alert" brand ("19 First Alert Headlines"?!? REALLY?!?) and Tucker and Tanaka. Now all we need is "Like Fireflies" to replace TITP and we have the potpourri of clusterfuck.

I can understand your concern. However, this is not a rejected mock from someone at Gray, but instead it was on one of the weather monitors during an actual newscast. Likely, WOIO does have it in its systems, so the question will be when. As far as graphics saving WOIO, I know graphics alone can't save WOIO, I'm just asking that the newscasts be more watchable, that's all.

After almost 4 years, WOIO may be finally retiring the Raycom graphics package and the "19" is getting a major change. As seen during the 4pm newscast, here it is:

Except Viacom doesn't have sports on any of its channels, except maybe Bellator. Basically, years of mediocre programming if finally catching up to them, so Bob Bakish now has to pay for Philippe Dauman's sins. Now you see why Sheri Redstone is pursuing the CBS re-merger with Viacom.

Meanwhile, sh*t is gonna get real! This time between DirecTV and Viacom: https://deadline.com/2019/03/daily-show-warning-viacom-directv-blackout-comedy-central-neal-brennan-att-1202578873/

Valley of the Dolls in 1994, however that aired mainly on New World's stations (ie WJW)
-
Honestly, The Chew was taken down by the Mario Batali sexual harassment claims. If Mario hadn't been accused, then The Chew would still probably be on the air.
-
No. I do think it might be more of a Nexstar thing than a Gray thing. If I took a guess, I'd say that Nexstar wanted to be exclusive CBS for Lafayette, so bye-bye WAFB.
-
Congratulations to Rich Morgan for sticking it through thick and thin. Through good owners (Williamson, Media General) and bad (Piedmont), he has been a legend at WKBN.
-
Too bad I can't pull in WJW with said antenna.
-
No surprise there since the past year or two, they've been pushing Tiffani Tucker and Chris Tanaka as the main anchors, while Mark Nolan and Romona Robinson felt they were being phased out.
-
And I have Spectrum only because I can't get some OTA (particularly WJW) in good. So, this whomps.
-
Or revive game shows. Now where's that Spectrum27 guy?
-
Translation: Jeff was getting too expensive for KDKA's payroll.
-
Would make sense, especially if Gray and/or Scripps are terminating the SSA and "Fox 29" moves to WHDT. However, that does leave Gray with a WFLX without any programming.

Even by Tegna standards, it's the stupidest thing I ever saw. -
It's the obsession of being first instead of being right. Being first still sells, apparently.
