  1. WGN just knows how to do amazing things and this was not only amazing, but touching, really sweet and a tear-jerker. You can't help but feel bad for WGN losing out on the Cubs. And now, this network takes over (my first time looking at the network's logo)...
  2. OMG are you kidding me? They certaintely will!
  3. If not, THE most-watched FOX affiliate in the country. I think WSVN regularly pulls in 300,000+ viewers for their news at 10pm (I saw that number years ago but not sure of 2019 numbers tho).
  4. He reminds us every year of a great one who was gone way too early and way too soon.
  5. This may sound stupid but I just learned that today. I didnt know she changed her name to her last name, Jansing. But I can see why NBC News recruited her from WNYT in 1998. She's really good and I enjoy her work.
  6. Oh god. Even that's laughable? WKYC is the most-watched 6pm news? P2+?! Even I know WJW won that because they now pretty much win every timeslot!
  7. Remember NBC Nonstop? It looks like NBC wants to try that again with NBC LX (Local X for "eXponential" abilities in telling stories) and yes, it will be an OTA channel next year. https://tvnewscheck.com/article/top-news/239304/nbc-stations-intro-lx-news-for-gen-z-millennials/
  8. I'm legitmally sad about this. You're talking about one of baseball's most legendary teams with a rich history and such a vaulable W.S. victory in 2016 with IMO, one of America's best television stations. Its sad that this 72-year partnership is ending for a new network that many fans will have a hard time getting and that may not succeed that well.
  9. We've gone off topic. WJBF has recently added half-hour news at 4:00, 4:30 and 7:00 p.m. WFXG is finally going 100% in-house and with it, weeknight news at 6:30 and 11:00 p.m. are coming. https://changingnewscasts.wordpress.com/2019/09/14/wfxg-about-to-have-in-house-news-department-two-new-newscasts/ Finally, because WJBF went to 4:00 and 4:30 p.m., WRDW decided to go to an hour at 4:00 p.m. on WAGT and WRDW will soon add two hours of weekend morning news. https://changingnewscasts.wordpress.com/2019/09/16/more-news-in-at-augusta-duo/ Augusta is hot right now.
  10. WDBJ is not the only one running in low-power... so is WJAR Providence. https://turnto10.com/station/news-releases/wjar-broadcasting-with-reduced-power
  11. This IS a shock but we're now seeing this weeks later after the sudden and unexpected announcement... CFRN Edmonton's Daryl McIntrye has retired. Apparently, nobody inside the newsroom knew that at 10 a.m. on Aug. 27th, McIntrye would announce then that he'll be retiring after 33 years after CFRN and a 36 year career overall. I didn't see this coming. I thought he would stay there until he reached at least 35 at CFRN. https://edmonton.ctvnews.ca/how-do-you-tell-a-36-year-story-in-five-minutes-you-can-t-but-i-tried-1.4592563
  12. Okay... getting off-topic with WKYC's new logo hatred. I feel that way too but I'm going back on-topic. Calvin Sneed retired from WTVC in 2016 but is coming back and temporarily stepping away from retirement to join WRCB but in a temporary fill-in basis to help the station after anchor LaTrice Currie suffered a medical emergency in late August. https://www.wrcbtv.com/story/41034687/calvin-sneed-to-fill-in-for-latrice-currie Meanwhile, WDBJ 7 is running under low-power because they're under a new frequency and are trying to upgrade their tower and antenna, but county gov. is preventing them from doing so. It may not be until late October or early November when WDBJ is on full-power. https://www.wdbj7.com/content/news/WDBJ7-temporarily-operating-at-low-power-until-building-permit-approved-for-tower-and-antenna-560135321.html Finally, KSTP is adding another hour of local midday news at noon over on KSTC starting next week. Matt Belanger and Leah McLean will anchor. https://kstp.com/news/5-eyewitness-news-announces-new-midday-anchor-team-additional-hour-of-news/5489240/
  13. It ain't no placeholder... If that image above you is any indication, that WILL be their new logo.
  14. Not to mention... a new circle 3 logo coming.
  15. Well, TVGuide.com listings for Shreveport showcases Tamron Hall at 8am, alongside with OnTVTonight and TV Passport.
  16. WKYC is making BOTH WEWS and WOIO look waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more watchable by comparison. Also, I prefer Scripps over TEGNA anyways. But no matter what, as long as it goes back to FOX (O&O that is)... NOBODY and I mean... NOOOOOOOBODY is ever going to touch WJW again. In fact, I see WJW as the next WTVT within that station group.
  17. Agreed. In fact, I see this thread shut down if it doesn't stop. Let's get back on topic, people!
  18. This has to be a joke. If this is meant to dethrone WLS' most-watched 10:00 p.m. news, then good 'effin luck. This program might as well be canceled within two-three weeks after launch if it still doesn't do better than WBBM's 10:00 p.m. news. I prefer Alan and Cheryl over Leon and I still even prefer Brad and Irika over Leon, despite the latter's continued struggles in the news ratings.
  19. I mean... its still Eyewitness News at WWL-TV so its not like this slight change will change anything there, really.
  20. Umm... look at WTIC. It looks like you have your listings set to the central time zone. In other words, WCTX stays on at 10pm and MNT primetime is as is. I looked it up myself and still showed their news at the same 10pm timeslot on 9/9.
  21. It doesn't show on the listings so I'm not sure what your talking about. It still shows MyTV primetime at that hour.
  22. However WCAU only is putting Philly Live at 11:45am instead for 15 minutes. The TV listings, for right now, looks like to be an error.
  23. Tom Crabtree is no longer at WSPA and that's because he's now retired. 45 years in broadcasting and 31 of those on Carolina's Family. Don't worry, his band will still perform. https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/news/2019/07/01/wspa-channel-7-anchor-tom-crabtree-announces-retirement/1620287001/
