    And they were. Regina actually did the tribute pieces for Velma and Joe.

    It would have happened already, as the buyouts went effective April 22. Beyond that, it'd be waiting out their contracts.

    I like: "It's all within reach... Except your pension. We took that. "

    Only generally? Could we bump that up to a "sternly"?

    I was going to do one today but with the breaking news earlier that WFAA was losing their ABC affil, then getting sold to Hearst, I left it alone. I'll put it together in a bit though.

    I thought we shredded them and reused them for script paper...

    Is it me, or did it just get weird in here....

    They banked on TV ad revenues continuing to grow. I'd almost say their bet paid off, considering the election season this is turning out to be.
  9. KevCor
    How long did they know in advance that they were going to take the buyout?
  10. KevCor
    I mean, I had been aware of the union fight, but nonetheless-- they lost their entire evening anchor team, plus their Chief Meteorologist... And they're about to head into sweeps. For a #1 station (if they were even still that) that spells disaster.
  11. KevCor
    They actually let their primary on-air team take the buyout? That's just bad business....
  12. KevCor
    I think the buyout criteria was anyone who is over 55 or had been with the station longer than 30 years. And it appears everyone's last day will be 4/21.

    And I haven't heard anything from WUSA here in DC...

    (H/T to VARTV) Long-time WVEC anchors/reporters Joe Flanagan and Velma Scaife are taking early retirement buyouts from TEGNA. Both have been with the station for 30+ years... Last day? April 22.

    I said the same when I saw. It was probably the easiest to do, if you remember the general basic-ness of their previous site.
  16. KevCor
    Probably when they feel like it or are ready. Just my guess.
  17. KevCor
    Slightly off topic, but all of TEGNA's ex-corporate relative newspapers have "deemphasized" that they are "A Gannett Company" on their websites and such, and instead are going with the tagline "Part of the USA Today Network". Which also still have all the TEGNA stations listed.

    All of the NWCN stations were on the G3 WX graphics except KREM.

    If Al-SA-TX is still hovering around these parts, he might know something since he's down there with the Fox duop in Abeline/San Angelo. Last I heard, they were going to be under Worldnow until at least January 2016. Also, while I'm here: KREM2 Spokane FINALLY updated their weather graphics to match the rest of their newscast on Sunday. I say finally, because...the station switched to the G3 graphics LAST YEAR... https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10153205096166301

    TEGNA now ventures into original programming and syndication... Hmmm...
  21. KevCor
    Can anyone explain why TEGNA didn't buy back the Tucker station as well?
  22. KevCor
    At last check, they had filed the paperwork for "acquisition" from the respective Sander and Tucker holding companies. It's just a matter of time for the FCC to sign off on the transition.
  23. KevCor
    Tegna is now "officially" blacked out on the DISH network.

    Out & About

    KevCor replied to TexasTVNews's topic in General TV

    And it's apparently it's over money... She responded to a fan in the Facebook page about not only being demoted from anchor to night side reporter, but also taking a paycut as well.

    Tegna's stations have agreed to an eight-day extension in their ongoing retrans battle with DISH Networks, through 7PM Septmeber 9. Their original deal expired at 6pm on September 30. From B&C: http://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/currency/dish-tegna-agree-8-day-extension/144650
