  1. What's an example of that? Just curious.
  2. Fellow NBC affiliate WOOD does this. And I think KXAS does this too.
  3. Exactly. She's currently in a wheelchair and had to step down from the 10pm because it got too tough for her to go home between the 6 and the 10pm broadcasts. That's a sad thing to watch someone you love go through.
  4. http://www.wafb.com/story/38362607/donna-britt-to-retire-from-wafb 38 years at the station and she's battling ALS. She currently anchors the 6pm newscast and is retiring on June 13th (A week from today). I wish her luck with her battle and hope that she can enjoy her time with her family. Elizabeth Vowell took over for her whenever Britt stepped down from the 10pm newscast so I'm thinking she'll add that to her duties as well.
  5. KTAL's Dan and Jacque Jovic are husband and wife and so are Melissa Kakareka and James Parish of KSLA. KSLA had another married couple, Clay Ostarly and Victoria Shirley but they moved up to Roanoke, where they now work for rivaling stations, Clay on WFXR and Victoria on WDBJ. Melissa Moon (WREG) and Melanie Moon (last seen on KPLR) are twin sisters.
  6. Lacey Lett (of KAUT's Rise and Shine) is a relative of the Ogle family as well.
  7. The Rascons, although they're in more than one city. Jacob is on KPRC/Houston (and formerly of NBC News) and his dad, Art, is on KTRK. Jacob's brother and Art's son, Matt, works at WHDH in Boston, and then, Dan Rascon (Art's brother), works at KUTV in Salt Lake City.
  8. We missed this one but Gray is assuming the control of WFFP in Lynchburg via a shared services agreement (beginning June 15th) and buying WLHG (it's low-power sister station) outright, this being an outgrowth of WDBJ's CSA with WFFP. Programming produced by Liberty University will be able to air over all three stations through an agreement reached with the university, the parent company of Morning Star Broadcasting which owns WFFP and WLHG and Gray, the operator of all three stations. All of this info came from TVNewsCheck and RBR. Anyway, here is the Form 314. Includes a Shared Services Agreement for WFFP and an APA.
  9. But Tribune says they're phasing those shows out.
  10. Maury will finally move to WUPL.....if he even comes back. Maybe next, WJZ will drop it.
  11. I personally don't like the guy but that's not what this thread is about. However, Allman did take that a bit far, in my opinion.
  12. It got old very quickly on KMSS and they've only used it since 2015. Guardian would sound way better at KMSS imo. In WOWK's case, they would have sounded better just using CBS Local.
  13. I don't mean to sound stupid but I didn't know that people could fill in at other stations while working at one.
  14. I always wondered what the arrangement with KTTU (KMSB's Duopoly partner) became? Does Tegna still have ties to them or is that all Raycom at this point?
  15. They did for around a year. I don't know why they decided to sell it. That's a major headscratcher.
  16. They did until they sold off the KTVH/KMTF duo.
  17. KTAL used to do that here (3-5 p.m.) until they began splitting it with KSHV. Now they only run it from 4-5. I guess KTAL will move it to 3 p.m. next year so that they can get into the 4pm game.
  18. Is Gray really going to try and jam CBS, ABC and Fox onto KCWY subs in Casper? As for Cheyenne (and Scottsbluff), that, as you said, is a mess because they'll probably try to put Fox on KGWN/KSTF and ABC as well on the former. They really need a 2nd stick in each market for this, you would think.
  19. Someone who will make it into a subchannel machine.
  20. So, Me-TV beats Fox? Am I reading that right?
  21. I think they'll come back later for that one. I can feel it. They're probably going to use it for the CW signal when they do and put that surplus syndicated programming inventory KCPO has on an LD2 signal with a subchannel network (MeTV, AntennaTV, H&I) filling the rest of the time.
  22. Gray could merge with Meredith but that'd be a VERY TOUGH shot. I always considered WSWG to be the flagship since it's located in the market where Gray's original flagship, WALB is at.
