Now what happens to Sunny Side Up?
-
I half expected Sinclair to bring this tradition back, but good for Gray. IIRC, before XETV went Spanish, they played the American and Mexican national anthems at 5AM, even after they went 24 hours. At some point, they went to solely playing the Mexican anthem (I assume it's law in Mexico!) even to this day.

My guess is that Wendy Williams is going to WUAB to fill the 9am hour vacated by Steve Harvey while Live on Lakeside is reduced to 60 minutes. AFAIK, Sister Circle may be taken off the schedule and replaced with DBL come January.
-
This is probably going to be WKYC's new afternoon schedule for the 2019-2020 season September: 2pm Kelly Clarkson 3pm Daily Blast Live x2 4pm Ellen 5pm Dr Phil January: 2pm Kelly Clarkson 3pm Dr Phil 4pm Ellen 5pm Channel 3 News at 5

Jay Crawford of ESPN is coming to WKYC in the fall and will anchor a "interactive" midday newscast and a (FINALLY!) 5pm newscast coming sometime in 2020. https://www.wkyc.com/mobile/article/entertainment/television/former-espn-anchor-jay-crawford-joins-wkyc-this-fall/95-338dbb05-fae6-4d9d-aa9e-cd4b6df59a63

It's 9 on cable and 51 on satellite and OTA. Probably because cable penetration was high in San Diego, stations like KNSD (NBC 7/39) and XHDTV (MyTV13) brand by cable numbers.

I see he's taking the Lester Holt approach until CBS finds a suitable replacemwnt.
-
With WOIO's direction changing, it's obvious that Tanaka's ass is grass. He definitely knows he doesn't fit in with 19 News, so what to do: not give a f*ck obviously.
-
Hate to say it, but it feels like Gray tried to put "Action News" lipstick on a "Snoozefest 19" pig, when Gray should've shot the pig and start over. I would say give it time, but as of now it looks like they're trying too hard to be "Action News" without being "Action News".
-
Side note: Sunny Side Up (WOIO's 9am talk show), is still using the Limerick graphics, albeit using a live bug from the new package.
-
They had personalities like David Wittman and Denise Dufala (the former elder statesman of WOIO), but Raycom went cheap and decided to rely on Tucker and Tanaka for its newscasts.
-
Give it a year. They'll be sitting at the desk in no time, just like during the Action News era. Now we just need is Tanchak to scare the weather to you in the evenings...
-
"CLEVELAND 19 NEWS" IS DEAD! Long live "19 News". Edit: They're now using CBS Local instead of TITP.
-
“We’re going back to the way it used to be,” said a source to FTVLive. “They are finally admitting that the Cleveland 19 News was a complete bust,” the source added. Then again, we all knew Snoozefest 19 would fail from the start.
-
4:30am and WOIO is still on the current graphics, although the "Live" bug has been changed.
-
As long as Nexstar lets WJW be WJW, then they'll always reign supreme in Cleveland. With Tegna meddling into WKYC's affairs and WEWS just now getting out of its slump, WOIO has an opportunity to finally relive the glory days of Action News without all the infamy.
-
WOIO's 19 First Alert App has been updated!
-
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.
