For the record, WJYS 62.2 will be the full-time feed with WJYS 62.3 as the overflow feed. Both will be WJYS' ONLY HD feeds because even the main feed is still in 4:3 SD as of this post.

May I ask how you got this?

Doug Warner retired from KSLA Shreveport last year. Retirement only lasted a year because he's back at it at KNWA Rogers. https://www.nwahomepage.com/author/doug-warner/

- Spain Longtime Telecinco presenter Jose Ribagorda has left the network after a stellar 18 year run on weekends. It's the only network he's ever worked at, albeit a brief run at TVE in the early 2000s. Speaking of, they poached Carlos Franganillo from TVE nearly a year ago to do their 9pm edition and starting next weekend, they were able to poach away Maria Casado as well to do their weekend editions as Jose's replacement. https://www.telecinco.es/noticias/20240915/despedida-jose-ribagorda-presentador-informativos-telecinco-fin-semana_18_013454176.html

A year later... KCNC decided to get it too. https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/augmented-virtual-reality-forecast-cbs-colorado-expands-first-alert-weather-center/?fbclid=IwY2xjawFU0JxleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHfGIpm4boC1HeFXgAs-qgcha1IFYLdUjXw57d0gvGImgjFKTOtvGanf1Bw_aem_6DyXFii53vJO6PbQ88H_Wg

Here's a first... Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy!... UK editions... on CHCH. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=940168541483384&id=100064707394920

The first pic gave me Sinclair vibes but maybe its because of the angle the photo was shot.

If its in the wrong area, I apologize. Please move it. But I wanted to share this here.

I was seriously thinking about this and I think KPIX's weekday newscasts are already solo from noon onwards except their 5:00 and 5:30pm. IIRC, Ryan Yamamoto is already solo at Noon, Elizabeth Cook at 3:00, Juliette Goodrich at 6:00 and 7:00, Devin Fehely at 8:00 and 9:00 (KPYX), and Sara Donchey at 11:00. Ryan and Elizabeth are together for the only co-anchored evening newscast at 5:00 and 5:30.

Well... the American hub of TUDN is now based in Mexico City. As of late last month, they closed their American offices in my home market of Miami and relocated to Mexico City to cut production costs and streamline the whole thing. It also means that some workers have either been laid off or left altogether to avoid moving. https://www.adiario.mx/deportes/anuncia-tudn-cierre-de-oficinas-en-miami-y-recortes-de-personal/

For the record, Amanda Hall still anchors at 4:00, 4:30, and 7:00 with Lois Thome at 5:00, 5:30, and 6:00 (I don't know who anchors their 3:00 and 3:30 ever since Nicole Gabe left for WFXT). However, WINK is adding another female anchor to their weekday roster in Emma Heaton who'll anchor their 7:30, 10:00 (both on WXCW) and 11:00 p.m. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=838015471807459&id=100067970424979

This line stuck out to me in this story regarding Jessica Kartalija's departure from KYW (yes, it was a cost-cutting measure to release her)... Apparently, the plan across all CBS-owned and operated stations is to go to single-anchor newscasts in the evenings, so in Philadelphia, it will be Ukee Washington solo at 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. So if this part is true and it goes forward like this, who will solo anchor across CBS' O&Os amongst their markets and on KYW's other news (4, 5, and 8pm on WPSG)? https://www.crossingbroad.com/2024/09/digging-up-some-details-on-jessica-kartalijas-cbs-3-departure.html

I know its a minor change, but I'm glad to see WFAA finally acknowledge that they have a sister station with this callsign change and the new Mavs deal.

A year and out for Liz Dueweke at KFOX. She should've stayed in Seattle at KCPQ, IMO. https://www.facebook.com/KFOXTV/posts/pfbid025YjKPoTmh26fwk8hHXqbKQ39MeVsxzptSecU2rALH32qDraARUDWijYv3mbshsAel

As of mid-last month, Southwest Florida's only locally-based Spanish newscast has been canceled. https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid0ufA9U9xL42DmzB85QBY7V9ztSf17W5WVF1NLzRUVWaWWn49hXEhCofULVYavd8gzl&id=100063892410114

September 12th, 1994. Good Day Tampa Bay debuted at 8:00 a.m. on WTVT Channel 13. 30 years later, it remains Tampa Bay's most popular morning newscast, even if its six hours long now on weekdays, and has since added weekends on both Saturdays (four hours) and Sundays (three hours). https://www.fox13news.com/video/1515429

WPLG was inconsistent in rolling out new everything (except for music). New set came first, then new opens, and just within the last week or so, new graphics. Now I'm not saying that's the right or wrong way to do, but WPLG was inconsistent. At least WSVN's new everything back in 2015 launched everything new at the same time: new Newsplex at the time, new version of its music, new graphics, new opens, new everything. WPLG wasn't ready to launch everything obviously and it clearly showed over the last month or two.

Y'all. That's it for Cindy Preszler. The trailblazing meteorologist has made Miami her last stop on her career. She is retiring after a legendary 42-year career that includes stops at TWC (the first woman to track a landfalling hurricane in TWC's history), KSDK (her longest stop of her career), WFTX, and in my home market at WFOR. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/cindy-preszler_big-news-after-more-than-four-decades-working-ugcPost-7239620719179968512-TQPg?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_android

Umm... it looks like the PAC-12 could be coming back from the dead. For those wondering about the logos, that's Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, and San Diego State. (via a report shared by Yahoo Sports on FB)

Obituaries are popping up on TV again and WLNS is doing so, three times daily. https://www.facebook.com/WLNSTV/videos/1721789708604870

* Linnert. That's a surprise. She's been there for what seemed like forever but its been 18 years at WOOD and she spent 6 before that at WLNS.

KTXL Sacramento is going the opposite direction in terms of the morning... they're starting earlier to 4:00am. Meanwhile, Studio 40 Live moves to 10:00am and the midday news shrinks to a half-hour. https://fox40.com/news/local-news/fox40-news-studio-40-live-changes-september-2024/

An exceptional guest has returned to WGN-TV to celebrate 30 years of the Morning News, a broadcast he was never a part of but became more famous because of one legendary bit...

70 years of KOVR 13. They've been riding high ever since CBS took over and are now constantly getting into the top two of ratings in the market (obviously KCRA is the 1,000-lb gorilla that nobody else can touch).

David Heckard is back on Orlando television. He previously spent time at Spectrum News 13 before leaving to join WJXT Jacksonville. I'm unaware that he left that station as he's now joining Tom Terry's team of meteorologists at WFTV Orlando. https://www.facebook.com/TomTerryWFTV/posts/pfbid02HiYwYXZHBhAWKBRp9f8K2ew4V5hRZDHBUZiPRL3UqQzacVmraVsRh9fUsGRo5vPhl
