I'm glad KTLA is keeping his memory alive... with the Sam Rubin Green Room. https://ktla.com/entertainment/ktla-honors-sam-rubins-life-and-legacy/?utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=facebook.com

Its still talked about, 50 years after its first appearance on the telly, and 12 years after it left the BBC airwaves.

For the first time in years (albeit online-only), TWC has a SiriusXM presence once again. When severe weather is impacting any part of the country, tune to Alerts from The Weather Channel for a live simulcast of The Weather Channel for the latest information to keep you safe and informed. Alerts from The Weather Channel on SiriusXM 799.

Yet... WPWR and WWOR ignore the rule (for now).

I still wish I saw DMAs 201-210. Even if there was still no change, I would've liked to have seen it.

Joe Torres, Lee Goldberg, Sade Baderinwa, and Bill Ritter. 3/4ths of them work together every night. Joe handles weekends like a pro. However, they all came together yesterday for something special and you'll notice it here. Yesterday was Art Moore's last day as an ABC executive after a stellar 53-year-run at the network. You'll notice them four in front row here as LIVE with Kelly and Mark paid a toast and a tribute to the exec. before the end of their program. (For those who don't know or are stuck in a rut, WABC-TV New York produces the program and is distributed by their parent company Disney/ABC via their syndicated distributor, Disney-ABC Domestic Television.)

Update: When you get to work with a Seattle institution like Shannon O'Donnell, it should give you an idea as to where he works at now in Seattle. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1057437082440942&id=100045239792848

63 different Gray stations have yet to switch to the new look, including KOSA, which has soft-launched but hasn't gone fully hard with the new look yet.

I will say it... one of the greatest American journalists of our time and multiple generations and one of the best Asian American journalists to have ever done it. This is her on being a role model and all those women you see in this video pic? They're all named Connie... all named after her. It doesn't get any better than that.

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
