New variant for ABC: Eh, could have been worse; but regardless I don't see anything that would justify this being worth the amount of money spent unless parent company Disney is in the mood of having money to burn at the moment. 

Which is kind of ironic seeing that Bob Chapek has become infamous (at least amongst fans of Disney's theme parks, like myself) for being a penny pincher, often being referred to as "Bob Cheapeck".  It's like he's making all these cuts that have taken away a bit of the "magic" of going to the parks, but they have the money to spare on a logo change at ABC that's not really necessary at all, or even noticeable to the untrained eye.

Congrats to CBS This Morning. Oprah is still the queen of American television, I wonder if CBS has other ideas for Winfrey going forward. The Gayle King connection was probably a big reason why CBS was able to get the rights to the special. Prior to this, Winfrey's broadcast home has always been ABC, the home of her syndicated series for many years on the O&Os. 

I could see her doing "special" interviews for CBS, kind of akin to Barbara Walters Specials over at ABC.  Of course, there was that brief period a couple years ago where she was a special contributor for 60 Minutes.

WBBM, Chicago:

 

 

WHTM, Harrisburg:

 

 

KFDA, Amarillo:

 

 

WHTM was ripping off half of Chicago in that clip.  Not only did they have a WBBM-style opening, but they had WLS-style lower thirds.

It looks like they're testing out the full package here in Atlanta at WUPA before rolling out to the "bigger" O&Os.

Well whatever the case is or was, FOX told to her to...

 

"Guess, what, Trish? YOU'RE THE M*********N IMPROPER INFLUENCE!"

So they essentially demoted Justin for someone who, while very accomplished, is a WSB newbie. That’s atypical for them. They usually groom folks for years and promote from within. I guess it’s possible Justin wanted it, but it seems like he would’ve announced he was stepping back to spend more time with family or whatever if that was the case. 

I gather this was what Justin wanted, in order to spend his evenings with his family, per replies on Jovita's post.  

I’m surprised no one’s yet mentioned Craig Lucie’s departure from WSB.

ACK! WXIA’s new logo...

The WLWT weeknight anchors are now engaged to each other.  They have been dating for a while.  Congratulations to them.

I suppose they’ll be the Chet and Nat of Cincinnati.

There's also this, which looks even worse. But it's also a microscopic market compared to DFW. 

My eyes are burning...

I actually heard that in Ron Howard's voice, Arrested Development-style.

(Narrator: They didn't win.)

 

Well, it looks like Erin Coleman is leaving WSB, according to a post on her Facebook page. She says with one young child and another on the way, she wanted to move back to her hometown in Philadelphia. One wonders if she's "moving closer to her world". Any speculation who her replacement may be? Now, I know there's been lots of talk about Stefany Fisher going to Fox 5, but this could be a viable opening for her as well.
