Some good news for the underlings at Sinclair....they just raised their minimum wage to 15 dollars an hour....
http://sbgi.net/pr-news/sinclair-broadcast-group-raises-minimum-hourly-wage-to-15/
I hope that's not what their anchors get paid because if it is, then all that time studying to get a degree in broadcast journalism in pretty much wasted if you get on a Sinclair station only making $15/hour with other jobs that sometimes pay much much higher than that, some even without a college degree.

I know in Charleston, WCSC blows everyone else out of the water and always has. WIS is still way ahead of WLTX in Columbia, correct?
Yes though I heard not as much as it used to be.

Am I the only one extremely disappointed she wasn’t reunited with Bob Opsahl for one final time? Also, did they mention him and her together at all? I don’t even see where he said anything.The only time Bob and Martie got together again was at the very end of last Friday's noon and 6:00 p.m. newscasts.

It will be replacing ionTV on WCTV 6.3. Which makes me wonder if adding ion to a number of its stations was just a placeholder until Circle could launch?
In WBAY's case... NO. WBAY is moving ION to 2.6. Yes... WBAY is going to six channels.

Another senior local news anchor is signing off at CTV.
Ken Shaw, the long time anchor of CFTO/CTV Toronto's noon ant 6 PM newscasts, is leaving his post on the anchor desk in January 2020. He will still be part of the CTV News team doing special projects for at least the next year. A Frank magazine article in November had suggested that CTV may have pushed Shaw out as part of a round of layoffs in October.
https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/ctv-news-toronto-s-veteran-anchor-ken-shaw-announces-retirement-1.4719052
Shaw is the latest long-serving local news anchors at the CTV network to leave. On November 14, Gord Leclerc, one of CKY/CTV Winnipeg's main anchors for 24 years, was unceremoniously let go after presenting the station's noon newscast.

In September, CFRN/CTV Edmonton's Daryl McIntyre ended his 33-year run as that station's top news presenter; he had stated publicly that he was forced to take a buyout.
In April 2018, CTV also let go Tamara Taggart and Mike Killeen, the two principal anchors at CIVT/CTV Vancouver. Tamara had been at CIVT since the launch of that station in 1999.
Some of the legacy news anchors that remain across the CTV network are Steve Murphy and Bruce Frisko (ATV/CTV Atlantic), Mutsumi Takahashi (CFCF/CTV Montreal), Ian White (CFCN/CTV Calgary), and Jim Chricton (CHWI/CTV Windsor).
CLARIFICATION: Taggart was at CIVT since the launch of that station... in 1997, not 1999. CIVT launched on September 22nd, 1997.

WFSB is reporting in a late update Sunday night...
Quote"Her family believes she died of a massive heart attack."
That stuns me because it looks like she didn't have any massive health problems as of recently.

They'll just simply simulcast the newscast with WKCF, it's not like they're launching a newscast specifically for Estella TV.
What I'm saying is that the 10:00 p.m. timeslot is not one of Estrella TV's local news windows. I believe its 11:00 p.m. meaning that WKCF/Estrella TV Orlando will interrupt the final hour of national primetime programming from Estrella TV to carry the local newscast.
Currently at that hour, its Alarma TV (Alarm TV) at 10:00 followed by Noticiero Estrella TV - Cierre de edicion (Estrella TV News - Closing Edition) at 10:30 p.m.

Meanwhile in Orlando, WESH 2 is going to start doing a simulcast of the 10pm newscast on Estella TV Orlando, and they already simulcast the 5pm newscast with WESH itself. https://www.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment/tv-guy/os-et-wesh-10-pm-news-estrella-simulcast-20191126-exocykg6tvhdzgawqaixvkljda-story.html#nt=oft-Triple Chain~Feed-Driven Flex Feature~section-a~story-b~~1~yes-art~automated~curatedpage
I'm not sure how they're gonna pull that off considering that Estrella TV's local news windows for affiliates are at 5:00 and 11:00 p.m., not 10:00 p.m. IIRC.

For my 400th video upload, I present a fully updated and restored montage of TEGNA’s crown jewel WXIA-TV:
I don't know if I would call it as their crown jewel if their sister station nearby (almost 1hr, 20mins away) does better in the ratings than them.

Cuba I get, are there sizable Haitian and Venezuelan populations in Miami?
Venezuela? Yes, especially in Doral.
Haiti? Yes, especially in Little Haiti.
South Florida is really really diverse as there's sprinkles of everyone in each city.

Based on this promo, Local 10 has reporters in Venezuela and Haiti, as well.
On a side note, it seems like they are using the phrase "Local 10 News is everywhere". If I recall from earlier in the decade, WTVJ heavily promoted themselves by saying "Team (or NBC) 6 is everywhere". Not sure if that slogan is just for this promo, though.
I forgot about their Venezuelan bureau too. Wow. And I guess the Haiti one is new to me.

If anything, BH has allowed WPLG to open up its very own in-house news bureaus in D.C. and Havana because there's no way Graham would commit to anything like that.

Did the other stations roll out the website design at the same time, or was it more gradual?
I believe everyone except WPLG rolled it out at the same time.

Never mind. WPLG has the new look too. Despite being owned by BH, WPLG still acts like a Graham-owned station.

I'm glad that Alan Sealls is returning to air. He is really good at reporting the weather. I think he can attract a lot of viewers from WKRG.

Now, its CKY Winnipeg's Gord Leclerc.

The overall style is very similar to the well-known "Team to Watch" KNXT promos from a few years later. I wonder if they were produced by the same company that had switched clients in the meantime? (I remember reading that the KNXT promos were done by Collier Concepts.)
Clearly off from WUSA and Sky News used it too. But many are those promos too good to resist.

I surely do miss the Jennings era when they actually had WORLD NEWS for the majority of the newscast. Unfortunately overall news distribution has degraded to viral video analysis, online shopping discount notifications, and too much fluff pieces. At this point, they might as well call it GMA: After Dark.
Not to mention... BREAKING NEWS every time they kick off the broadcast. It's effing ridiculous.
