  1. Who exactly would be the surviving company?
  2. Exactly. Out of ALL the stations that gained big 3 affiliations after the Fox switcheroo, WDJT has been among the best. They could be so much cheaper than they are. What's the reason for being hard on them?
  3. If the Acme thing was the case, then why didn't UPN just go to 33 as part of the deal which saw Acme and Paramount airing each other's networks in groups where one network was missing a station? One would think it would have been a no-brainer. When KASY rejoined UPN after that short break, Paramount had also agreed to have the WB remain on WWHO and WLWC and add it to WTVX. Acme did the same for UPN in Champaign and Knoxville, in addition to keeping it in off hours on KPLRm
  4. After two years, evening anchor Shelby Cashman is leaving KOAT to take over the morning spot on KOCO. This isn't her first time in Oklahoma City either. This surprises me because I thought Alejandra Briones was next in line to take the morning anchor spot but at the same time, it doesn't as I saw this eventually coming when Cashman left for KOAT.
  5. Ron Young coanchored the 9am news on KSLA while serving as the meteorologist. In a reverse example, Steve Bender left his morning anchor gig at KTAL to be the meteorologist at KRNV.
  6. As soon as that non-compete expires.
  7. He was in my City for a bit too at KSLA.
  8. Maybe no one else put their foot down. I mean, there is always going to be that station that goes a different route.
  9. I'm willing to bet that they are gonna only change the graphics and keep the music.
  10. Idk if this has been covered here yet, but Thanh Truong is leaving WWL but he plans to stay put in New Orleans. His final day was today. He is going to launch a True Crime podcast with his wife. Didn't he JUST move to the Noon newscast not too long ago from the later shows?? https://www.nola.com/news/crime_police/article_9436cff8-51cf-11ea-a092-9f8736ea6a46.html https://www.wwltv.com/article/news/local/thanh-truong-says-farewell-to-wwl-tv/289-af96d62c-8b35-41ea-818e-d0211fbcc4de
  11. Slightly off topic but WBTV isn't the only Graycom station dragging it's feet replacing people. KSLA has only one sports anchor. Furthermore, they now has solo anchored newscasts the whole day. The weekend morning newscast doesn't even have an anchor. It's just Jessica Moore giving weather updates and then prepackaged stories throughout. Somehow, KSLA manages to have the largest weather team though as they have four meteorologists in contrast to the three at KTBS and KTAL. What is with that?
  12. I watched him on both KSLA and KTBS. Met him once. He was amazing and he was very chill. He is a legend and he will be a part of the heart of Shreveport forever. R.I.P. Bob.
  13. In regard to Tampa, what was so hard about getting WTSP to handle the news production? And then in Detroit, why not just rebuild everything again? I already know what people are going to say about that, and imo, it's no excuse. They should have just stuck with it. I sort of understand Atlanta given that WGCL already has WPCH to do news for but then again, WWBT has news on both WRLH and WUPV and even here in my market, KTAL does KMSS AND KSHV. I like the initiative but at the very least, have the respective CBS affiliates in that market (aside from Detroit) be involved in some way, even if you're just relying on them for certain things. I guess this is just how the cookie crumbled though.
  14. https://www.kxxv.com/news/local-news/ann-harder-to-retire-during-her-25th-year-at-25-news Ann Harder is going to be retiring from KXXV (Waco).
  15. Would me taking a picture of the newscast be proof? Also, it was listed on TV Guide. I have a picture from earlier this morning. That's Nate Fluharty on the right (of First News on KTBS) anchoring. Neil Shaw was in for Brian Fowler who normally does weather on mornings. However, by the time they went to 9am, Dominique Brogle (who normally does that hour anyway) was anchoring.
  16. Staying on the topic of news, for whatever reason, known only to KTBS, KPXJ has seemingly expanded to 8am. I already posted on Discord.
  17. I don't know whether this has been covered here or anywhere else but KWKT has a 6:00pm newscast now and a lifestyle show. Apparently, this has been on for quite some time.
  18. Even before that, they weren't exactly like WAGA when it was a CBS station.
  19. This must be what's happening at KSLA then. They don't even have a weekend sports anchor right now and the weekend morning newscast doesn't have an anchor. Plus a solo anchor currently does the morning and noon newscasts and has been doing so for about a year.
  20. I went to school with Robertson at one point. Good to see a buddy of mine making it.
