Even all of the Fort Smith stations used to be that way until in recent years when everybody moved to the NWA area.
I wonder if they went back to that format now with this social distancing stuff
They should put Barren's background as a live shot of Charleston just for keeps! Lmao.

You know, I failed to mention that on WCNC, they cut "Charlotte Today" to 30 minutes and no live guests. Their midday newscast now starts at 11:30am.
Permanent or during this outbreak pandemic?

If that happens, then may I suggest that hour five would be stream exclusively on Peacock?
Or make the fourth and fifth hours available on Peacock. Because even 13 years later, I still think a four-hour morning show from NBC is just too much. Affiliates would love to take that 10AM hour to themselves again.
EDIT: If affiliates like WBAL-TV Baltimore don't even air the 10AM hour, then just put it on Peacock and leave it there.

NextGen TV comes to Portland. KPDX and KRCW's multiplexes will be used by four station groups and OPB.
Its honestly really interesting.
KPDX will take...
- KPDX - MNT
- KPTV - FOX (this one is obvious)
- KGW - NBC
Meanwhile, KRCW will take...
- KRCW - CW
- KOIN - CBS (also obvious)
- KATU - ABC
They'll also provide split PBS programming so that OPB can be covered too.
I can't wait to see how this will be handeled but its nice to see all the broadcasters come together to try out the future of television. -

We have a very interesting M&A.
In Fresno, NBC's Telemundo O&O KNSO and Cocola Broadcasting's flagship station KGMC are exchanging facilities.
Once the deal is finalized, NBC will take ownership of KGMC's facility on UHF RF 27, while Cocola will own KNSO's facility on VHF RF 11. Callsigns will also be swapped after closing.
Along with the exchange, NBC will pay Cocola $4.5M. And while this deal is pending, Telemundo will temporarily carry programming (simulcast?) on an SD suchannel on KGMC current stick RF 27.Might as well ask the FCC to exchange virtual channels to alleviate confusion while they're at it.
Are channels changing too?

The death knell has been sounded for KCPM Grand Forks, North Dakota.
The FCC today says the station incurred a 312(g) deletion for being off the air more than 12 months—because it hadn't operated from authorized facilities since 2014.
Gray had filed to acquire the station in 2018 and would have rebuilt it. Those plans have been dashed.
Oh well...

Not sure when this happened, but it appears WFMZ's morning news has been expanded until 10am. It is just called "69 News at 9:00" rather than "Live at Sunrise" (which probably makes sense as it is well after sunrise).
I can cofirm this after watching today's broadcast on WFMZ's on-demand stream via SBTV. Looks all traditional which makes me question why they couldn't just use LIVE at Sunrise for the 9AM hour if they use the same name at 5, 6, 7 and 8AM. Its not like the 9AM is different from the other hours, at least from what I saw.

Yep, Feder confirmed Negovan's departure effective Feb 28th. No word on where he's going next.
Woah. Didn't see that coming.

There is something I'm generally confused about. Why was the Fox deal only approved with the sale of the Fox RSNs? Fox owns FS1-3, and though it wasn't included in the deal, the RSNs could have been a great side-car for ESPN. Since FS1-3 and ESPN are cable nets, I can't see why the FEC wouldn't have approved the RSNs sold to Disney as ESPN RSNs.
When was there a FS3? Haha. There's only a FS1 and FS2.

I’ll miss Steve too. I was pissed when Mark whomever from WFLD came in to replace Steve on the 9 pm news. I grew up watching Steve and Allison at 9. I was really hoping for a message from her today. I hope Allison is doing well and best wishes to Steve.
But damn Mark Supplesa became a really good solid anchor at WGN so it was all good. But in all honestly, it should've been Steve and Allison at 9 until Allison left (due to health problems).

WTMJ is now using a line in its opens that hasn't been used in decades... Milwaukee, Wisconsin and The World. If you remember Today's TMJ4 and the Impact days, then that's where you'll remember it from.

Via TVNewsCheck:
KING 5 is moving Angela Poe Russell from "Take 5" to "Evening" however the changes don't end there.
Starting next Monday "Take 5" will be replaced in the 4pm slot with a new newscast anchored by Greg Copeland and Jessica Janner Castro
Not entirely sure if "Take 5" will remain on air or if they're just moving to a different timeslot.
https://tvnewscheck.com/article/more-news/245003/angela-poe-russell-joins-kings-evening/
Just by looking at TV listings for next week, it looks like Take 5 goes away entirely.

I'm sorry if I'm late on this but... is WCAU's new 7:00 p.m. newscast permanent? I ask because it was added as a result of Impeachment coverage being spilled over to WCAU's 4, 5 and 6PM newscasts but I'm looking at listings and it shows its a permanent part of the schedule?

The Gray-owned Circle network is now available in Nashville and in many other Meredith markets (not all of them yet, but it's a big move for Gray to add their channel in other markets).
https://musicrow.com/2020/02/circle-launches-in-nashville-on-wsmv/
That's a very huge get for Circle. Circle's national HQ is in Nashville, Coffee, Country and Cody comes from 650 WSM Nashville, the Grand Ole Opry is in Nashville, the capital of country music is in Nashville... you get the point.
This is one market that Circle needed to get into and they (finally) got it.-

Its amazing that nothing can happen to you over your career (i.e. various things like buyouts, layoffs, firings, etc.) and yet, its something health-related that can take you off for good.
But its true sadly and here in this case, its the vocal chords that'll take Gayle Guyardo off-the-air for good. February 28th is her last day at WFLA/WTTA after working there for 26 and a half years.

WCPO is no longer 'On Your Side' after 20 years but it does have a new logo and look in homage to WCPO being owned by Cincinnati-based Scripps.

Can't say I'm surprised of this news.
From Feder, Longtime anchor Steve Sanders is retiring, after 37 years at Channel 9.
His last day will be February 28th.
Love this guy. One of the best at WGN. I'd watch him more during his 9:00 p.m. run than his midday run honestly but his style is next-to-amazing. Its nothing like it and its why he's so beloved at WGN and with Chicagoland viewers. It'll be sad to see him go, but he deserves retirement in every single sense of that word. Plus, he'll still be peforming too as he's a musician.
As heartbreaking and emotional it will be on his final day, it will be more so once Skilling retires.

DANG! The Cancellation Bear gets cancelled. A unlikely victim of the Tribune acquisition, TV By the Numbers: https://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/more-tv-news/the-end/
So unfortunate, but I guess Marc Berman will be my go-to for morning after primetime ratings releases for now on.
At least Zap2it is still around. Once that goes away, I'll truly feel it. I kinda use it for my blog sometimes.

Interesting how both WATN and WREG are in there.
Why is WATN there? What station represents the First News at 9:00 mic flag? I don't remember that one.

In anticipation of Fox's new graphics package, here's a look at the NFL on Fox scorebugs through the years, courtesy of a DeviantArt user.
I'm partial to the 2006-2009 bar. It had a nice, clean look. The only thing it was missing was the timeout indicators, which came with the next package.
Also, that bar would display other sports scores in which I haven't seen in any of their other packages since.

CTV: Toronto
Global: Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton
Citytv: Toronto
TVA: Montreal
Global previously had some sort of exclusivity agreement with CTN across the country, including Toronto. (Backstory: Global got 2 choppers for Toronto- one for Global TV, one for CHCH. When CHCH was sold to Channel Zero, they had to give up the helicopter.) Within the last year, Citytv Toronto signed on with CTN, and now they have helicopter traffic during Breakfast Television. I am not sure if Citytv uses the CTN helicopter for news gathering like what Global does.
Also Global/CTN had a helicopter for Global Winnipeg/CJOB-AM for a time. That was grounded a few years ago, not exactly when.
So I was right! I guess. Lol. I didn't know TVA had one for its flagship. Doesn't Citytv Toronto have a chopper with their sister CFTR?

CIVT-DT (CTV Vancouver) is reportedly retiring Chopper 9 tomorrow (Jan 31), as per this tweet:
Chopper 9 was the first TV news helicopter of its kind in Western Canada (a Bell 206 jetranger, similar to CFTO's helicopter), and CTV Vancouver always promoted the heck out of it. But as of late, the chopper's on-board camera is still in SD. Meanwhile, Global BC/CTN has been flying a Robinson R44 news helicopter since the 2010s, with the chopper getting an HD camera upgrade in the last few years.
Who's left with Choppers in Canada? I think Global still has Choppers in Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver with CTV's in Toronto and CBC has none. I think Citytv used to have one for Toronto but even I'm not sure about that.

WSBK/Boston has launched a one-hour 10PM newscast, produced (as always) by sister station WBZ. The newscast is simulcast on CBSN Boston. This creates a four-way battle for supremacy in the time slot, with longtime leader WFXT and WHDH already vying with WCVB's half-hour newscast on its MeTV subchannel.
Going back to its pre-2016 days. Plus, there's no weekend edition too.
