After 45 years in television news, and a good chunk at KPLC Lake Charles, Cynthia Arceneaux is retiring at the end of August. https://www.instagram.com/p/DZI9wbnmtti/?img_index=4&igsh=MXQ1M2RmMzJ0NGR6OA==

She's back, no surprise—a happy ending to this situation after all. I have a feeling Lindsey will end up back on mornings if WTMJ allows it.

And three months to the day after KXLY started to produce those newscasts, MMM started to operate KAYU under an LMA. https://tvnewscheck.com/business/article/kxly-brands-to-operate-kayu-spokane-tery-garras-named-vp-gm/

A HUGE loss in the NEPA TV market. Andy Mehalshick, a longtime I-Team reporter and one of WBRE's longest-serving reporters and personalities who has been there since the pre-Nexstar days starting in 1985, has been forced to medically retire (from full-time work at least) after being diagnosed with prostate cancer. He will remain doing part-time work as health allows. 41 years at WBRE. A lasting legacy left behind for this Hazleton native.

I don't think any of us have ever seen Chris Kapostasy (now Jansing)'s final broadcast from WNYT. Thanks to YouTube, it has now been unearthed. 10 days from now (as of this post), it will be 28 years since she left WNYT for MSNBC (now MS NOW). But here's her final 11:00pm newscast from June 12th, 1998, commercials and all. She spent 17 years at WNYT, an amazing, wonderful run with the majority of that time with the now-late Ed Dague (RIP). Ed and Chris together would help make WNYT finally dethrone WRGB in the mid 90s and become the #1 news station in the Capital Region. This also comes two years into WNYT's tenure with Hubbard after being traded away (with WHEC-TV Rochester) by Viacom.

Remember Walter Kelley? The longtime Chief Meteorologist at KCPQ Q13 FOX Seattle? He's back on television, but not in Seattle... but in WPB as WPTV's newest meteorologist. Just in time for the Atlantic hurricane season which began today. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1557388912418686&id=100044427759775

Middle East Comcast's Sky Group is pulling out of its news venture for Sky News Arabia. The name will remain as is, though editorial decisions will no longer come from the Sky Group from now on. https://thedesk.net/2026/06/comcasts-sky-exits-middle-east-news-venture/

Starting Wednesday, FOX Weather will replace The Weather Channel on SiriusXM. https://thedesk.net/2026/06/fox-weather-siriusxm-streaming-channel/

Hubbard has been rebranded, but don't be surprised if they get sued by NBC over their new logo. https://radioinsight.com/headlines/355307/hubbard-radio-rebrands/

I thought I'd never see the day. WPSD is kicking off June with a real BANG. 18 years with the old look and all HD references are FINALLY GONE. This comes a couple of months after moving into their brand new building. Welcome to 2026, WPSD.

And here was some of his final moments at "WPMI" (WEAR 3.2).

And barring any problems, we're gonna have to have our recorders up for January 2027 when WSVN debuts from their new facility in Miramar. https://www.miramarflnews.com/news/local/article315923632.html

And here it is... her last sign off at The Liz Quirantes Studio.

The way that banner reads sounds like that chopper is gone too.

Until last year, everyone in L.A. started at 4am. I mean everyone, KCBS/KCAL included. Now, they're slowly adopting the Bay Area start time where everyone starts there at 5am (including KTVU which just recently cut their 4am hour, Headlines on 2, as well).
