I don't know if anyone else has seen this before but... Pattrn's 24/7 FAST channel is going away. That's in addition to TWC en Espanol going away sometime soon. https://deadline.com/2024/11/pattrn-allen-media-group-climate-fast-channel-shutting-down-1236178497/

I didn't know Erika Gonzalez left KDVR Denver last month. https://www.facebook.com/ThisisErikaGonzalez/posts/pfbid0XFvQo6ToxyPcZg6mJeJU6Yvox5Sed9iiTxKdWdvrJx6ngto692SCGTcj3UFLM21Jl Less than 5 minutes ago, I learned she joined my CBS/CW duo, WFOR/WBFS Miami. She's doing mornings and is back in her hometown. https://www.facebook.com/LissetteGonzalezTV/posts/pfbid0jP1srdoky4vdTiYQNLgTT2x77j8djremKim57oDnUqtcy4UejTdqe9v5tZqeXzH1l

I found it on Facebook... look what showed up: a Boycott NTV/Sinclair Facebook group as the station now goes anchorless in the evenings, following Scripps' lead and also following WKEF's move.

From local evening news at WIS-TV 10 Columbia to the biggest morning job you can get at NBC... his rise has been nothing short of phenomenal. EDIT: Speaking of WIS... (RIP) Joe Pinner called it. You'll find it towards the end of this article. https://www.wistv.com/2024/11/14/how-watch-memorial-service-wis-icon-joe-pinner/

Another new ARC market... ARC El Paso replaces KDBC's Noon and 10pm traditional-styled newscasts. https://www.facebook.com/CBS4Local/posts/pfbid02grnGWLQ4w1bSFbF3oUwUEySL3iQuC4vsBgnfJ9zWd7kExNx9uCXgDdaNU7b2apqal

In other words, it fully replaces The Talk with no other changes to their schedule.

WTVD's John Clark will soon take his anchoring talents in his career... to retirement. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1108479810649833&id=100044634720226

UPDATE It's always been a co-pairing duo on their network newscast. But once Jorge Ramos leaves, for the first time ever, Noticiero Univision is going SOLO. It'll just be Ilia Calderón moving forward. https://bit.ly/3Us3Pjo

The other half of David and Peggy has decided to call it a career. David Johnson will soon join Peggy Finnegan in retirement land come Dec. 13th. The first of the last of the current big three old guards (KDKA's Ken Rice, WTAE's Mike Clark, and David from WPXI) to retire and call it a career. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wpxi.com/news/local/channel-11-news-anchor-david-johnson-announces-retirement/IGCUA2XFRREY7FV4GP7TEZ2SRA/%3foutputType=amp

Seven months was more than enough for Dominique Sachse at Merit Street. She has left the business again. https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/dominique-sachse-merit-street-19905153.php

UPDATE Mike Lichniak is the new Chief Meteorologist at WBOC. https://www.facebook.com/WBOCTV16/posts/pfbid02HeYew7DqZV6qdygXGcikZu5tupgQP1C84fWgbMmkS7dgwduxVgNp5amwkygqmFG2l Another Mike, Mike Grewe has joined the team and will do weekend mornings. https://www.facebook.com/WBOC16WEATHER/posts/pfbid02c7u2FHAvsKMcMccXjYx32XjF8UkQSu1ZaGM3yHHSwTmNRgvMHTKKKvv9wX7F5rT5l

If they do so, not yet. WVLT hasn't added it yet. And for WRCB, I thought they would consider it since Scripps News (3.5) is going away. However, I just checked TV listings, and WRCB will replace Scripps News with Grit at 6:00 a.m. on Saturday morning, November 16th. So... that's probably out of the question now.

Gray has launched yet ANOTHER local sports network... Tennessee Valley Sports and Entertainment. Why is there no article on this? Because Gray has launched it very quietly so shhhh... According to TV listings from what I've seen thus far, its on WAFF 48.3 Huntsville (the originating flagship station) and on WSMV 4.2 Nashville. Both stations are carrying it in 720p 16:9 HD.

WICU/WSEE Erie may about to be one of the smallest stations in the entire country with one of their own doppler radars. https://www.erienewsnow.com/radar

Just saw this on their Facebook page. We already have First Alert 4 (KMOV; the originator) and First Alert 7 (KOSA). Coming soon... First Alert 6 (and GrayONE) on WOWT. EDIT: The logo has already appeared online and on their 24/7 streaming channel, but it hasn't gone over the air yet.

I hear that NTV's evening newscasts are going anchorless, following the Scrippscast style.

Starting this Monday, Nov. 11th, KVVU will air their weeknight 7:00pm newscast with limited commercial interruption. This isn't a one time thing either... its permanent. https://www-fox5vegas-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.fox5vegas.com/2024/11/05/more-news-less-spots-fox5-vegas-creates-landmark-newscast-with-one-sponsor/?outputType=amp

Tonight is Sharon DeRycke's last night on the 10pm news desk at KWQC. She'll still remain though for the 4, 5, and 6pm news. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=948381043769131&id=100057917327947

Yes, he passed away before I was born. However, Wolfman Jack will soon be back on the radio on the station his career kicked off from... 1090 XEPRS. https://news.radio-online.com/cgi-bin/rol.exe/headline_id=n45983

I mean... for the longest time, WFSB's ID did go by Hartford - New Haven - Springfield so they can do it again and Gray, Nexstar, NBCU, and Entravision are in both markets so its plausible but not a reality anytime soon.

Now consider Shelby Kluver as one of WQAD's lead anchors. She already does the 4pm and now adds the 6pm to her duties. https://www.wqad.com/article/about-us/shelby-kluver-new-anchor-news-8-at-6-promotion-meet-the-team/526-40ae9947-957a-444c-9acd-9012d9460649?utm_campaign=snd-autopilot&fbclid=IwY2xjawGWxdFleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHZVCE_9jaAbdk50cxapH0CMJFt0rN7jeJe7bC0YEe9AHvpgjDXcNcXj1MQ_aem_fPq_3Zt4XF2jaoPRzJyt5w

I just found an article regarding WGGB/WSHM in terms of news as a result of the layoffs. TL;DR - The 7:00-9:00am weekday morning news is gone and so are their weekend evening newscasts. https://www.westernmassnews.com/2024/11/04/western-mass-news-programming/

I thought I'd start this because I feel y'all will post graphics, themes, presentations, etc. regarding tonight's election night coverage here. Not only that, I wanted to find out when the networks will be on to deliver their election coverage. However, as I was researching this, I found out that NOT every local station will follow the network's plans as scheduled (you'll see here in this post) so I highly recommend checking with your local station's listings but the majority will be status quo. This is what I found by checking TV listing sites like TitanTV, TV Passport, etc. (and all in Eastern time so it may differ by timezone as well, depending on where you live) PBS from 6:00pm-2:00am CBS from 6:30-11:00pm + 11:35pm-2:00am + for O&Os, a special CBS Mornings at 6:00am on Wednesday (meaning for some like WFOR in my market, they'll air four hours of CBS Mornings from 6:00-10:00am, including the new third hour at 9:00am.). NBC from 6:30-11:00pm + 11:35pm-5:00am (or 4:30am if local news begins by then) + NBC Nightly News on Wednesday on O&Os and some affiliates from 6:30-7:30pm. FOX from 7:00-10:00pm + 11:00pm-1:00am (however as an example, my favorite, WSVN 7 will NOT be taking FOX. No surprise there. Instead, they're going all local from 7:00pm-12:30am). However, this was the most inconsistent as some affiliates will rejoin at 11:00pm back to FOX or at midnight or whatnot so its hard to track the FOX side in this area. ABC from 6:30-11:00pm + 11:35pm-2:00am. The CW from 8:00-10:00pm (via NewsNation and their coverage. This will be The CW's first time providing election night coverage and major news coverage of this magnitude). Univision and Telemundo from 6:30-11:00pm + 11:35pm-3:00am (because they have network feeds, they are more consistent in their scheduling than the English-language ones. Plus, the feeds will keep going at 11:00pm while their O&Os and affiliates will go to local news). As I've said, check your local stations because they may be different than what I've posted here. Just because my local FOX affiliate won't take FOX tonight, doesn't mean yours won't either.

And provide a programming feed in a way Bloomberg already does it?

I heard the layoffs at WVIR were the first time ever in the station's history. Ugh.
