  1. All KTTC newscasts are already seen on KMNF with the exception of 6 and 10pm weeknights, I believe as simulcasts of KEYC. (KTTC's 5pm is not seen there.)
  2. Nothing on social media either. Thankfully, there is a site called LinkedIn. According to the site, she has indeed left FOX Weather and is now a Territory Manager (whatever that means) for a company called Esperion.
  3. SAM's Canvas.
  4. KGTV San Diego just moved World News Tonight on weeknights to 5:30 p.m., ending a 22-year run (starting in 2003) of carrying WNT in the 6:30 timeslot. The 6:00 pm news is now an hour and thus gives KGTV two 90-minute local news blocks in the early evening. The first from 4:00-5:30 and another from 6:00-7:30 p.m. It also ends an era in San Diego as, at one point, all three network newscasts aired in different timeslots with KNSD's at 5:30, KFMB's at 6:00, and KGTV's at 6:30. That changed when KFMB moved theirs a few years back to 5:30 (more likely did so after TEGNA started owning them), and now KGTV just did the same for theirs.
  5. Australia ABC is in the middle of converting ABC Entertains and ABC News to high-definition (I know, right? In 2025?). It has started doing so in Tasmania (ABT; home to Hobart) and South Australia (ABS; home to Adelaide) and is doing a staged roll-out to the upcoming states across the country: Tuesday, June 17th - Western Australia (ABW; home to Perth) and Northern Territory (ABD; home to Darwin) Thursday, June 19th - Queensland (ABQ; home to Brisbane) Tuesday, June 24th - New South Wales (ABN; home to Sydney) and Australian Capital Territory (ABC; home to Canberra) Thursday, June 26th - Victoria (ABV; home to Melbourne) ABC will continue to offer ABC TV in SD and HD as well as ABC Kids/ABC Family in SD. https://help.abc.net.au/hc/en-us/articles/12564144195855-ABC-NEWS-Channel-and-ABC-Entertains-is-moving-to-HD-in-June?fbclid=IwY2xjawK4enhleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFQNmRLQlVyWHBIQlJwbDlXAR7tClm1QTAAO3Vw4L5Ytu0eVWbtcLannqsrYeA6EJixoigO6ewZSsNDkLsX_A_aem_YF7iK_JVHoK0ZSchQicppQ
  6. I am shocked. I've always thought of WAGA's, WJW's, and KXAN's teams as the pillar of investigative journalism today. To think WAGA shut theirs down will create a chilling effect across Atlanta. WSB and WANF might scoop them up if they wanted to.
  7. Jay Tust is wrapping up his long 14-year run at KTVB Boise to join the Boise State Athletics department to be a part of the new Broncos Studios. https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/local/sports-director-jay-tust-leaving-ktvb-nearly-14-years-joining-boise-state-athletics/277-370297d6-3c9f-4aef-94fd-c90b529b62e9
  8. Brad Edwards is coming back to Central Iowa television starting in July as a contributor for WHO 13. https://who13.com/news/metro-news/brad-edwards-joining-who-13-as-a-contributor-on-july-1st/?fbclid=IwY2xjawK4PfhleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHuQ6fKYmSZ5QY69kvVK-50NCt-Majz2PLgHQNnFfTLSdCzVnAqxQzxcvqtMh_aem_Vy6XL7S4JSUZrq9QNl-wyw
  9. Here's the announcement from this morning. Alyana will probably stick to 4:30-7am as Tam replaces her. Matt and Tam are probably the longest-reigning morning duo in the Valley at nearly 20 years together. https://6abc.com/post/tamala-edwards-says-goodbye-action-news-mornings-shes-not-going-far/16730863/
  10. Update WPSD has started broadcasting, as of this week, from their new location at The Paducah Sun building. However, their new set is not quite ready yet. Therefore, they're in a temporary setting in a corner of the new studio that'll debut after the 4th of July. https://www.wpsdlocal6.com/news/wpsd-temporary-set-to-be-upgraded-in-july/article_073d349a-b6f6-416e-a0cb-4b04181d6603.html
  11. Gray's Gulf Coast Sports and Entertainment Network + TEGNA's Locked On Sports Podcast Network = Starting Monday, June 16th, four of the Locked On Sports podcasts will be seen from 10:00 am-12:00 pm CT on GCSEN. They are Locked On Saints, Locked On Pelicans, Locked On LSU, and Locked On SEC. https://podnews.net/press-release/gulf-coast-locked-on
  12. Ah, got ya, okay. Thank you @Weeters! Yes, that set probably had some years left, but if they wanted to be in the AR/VR space, then something had to give.
  13. Can someone remind me what the old studio looked like? I know he didn't say the current KCBS/KCAL set, which is also in use at KCNC and WBBM, correct?
  14. The WGN Morning News team are full of professionals, right? Yes, but also no. At least Dan tried to be when it comes to sports... but failed miserably on Tuesday. So yesterday, he got "fired" from the segment and they found a replacement...
  15. Hear me out. KVVU no longer has one sports-related channel... now they have TWO. One is the Silver State Sports and Entertainment Network, but now they've recently launched 5DRVtv (5 Drive TV). Outside of Local News LIVE from 4-6 am, 11 am-12 pm, and 4-5 pm (7-9 am, 2-3 pm, and 7-8 pm ET; which seem to be the main newscast timeslots for that streaming network), the schedule is devoted to all things cars and motorsports with programs such as Moto America, Race Central TV, Music City Trucks, Detroit Muscle, PowerNation Builds, etc. Some of these programs are also seen on SSSEN, but that's more aimed towards general sports, whereas 5DRVtv (KVVU-DT 5.4 by the way, which replaced Dabl) is focused on cars and motorsports. This may be the first such local digital subchannel I've heard of. EDIT: Another thing... Despite Gray not having a Telemundo presence in Las Vegas (because you have O&O KBLR Channel 39), KVVU went ahead and launched Spanish-language news and weather content anyway with Vegas Hoy. https://www.vegashoy.tv/
  16. Is it me or is that studio super small?
  17. Update We now know what it will be... 10 News+. It will air at 6pm every Sunday-Friday and will begin on June 30th. https://www.facebook.com/10NewsFirst/posts/pfbid0yxkG8er3aVTpLtcCcjRYKieenvJ65XsYMpCuyv64hKLdF1qTe13oTjZQd5E9veVTl
  18. Update Abilene Christian University (ACU) has allowed KTXS to utilize its facilities to help set up a temporary newsroom on campus. https://ktxs.com/news/abilene/abilene-christian-university-opens-doors-to-ktxs-after-severe-storm-damages-station
  19. The news broke during their 10pm newscast, so nothing was planned (but there will be tomorrow). This one hurts badly. The weather community will mourn greatly. He, Tom Skilling, and James Spann have changed the game forever, and Gary will be missed for generations to come.
  20. Australia ABC's Q+A is on Winter Recess. Today, we've learned its not coming back. The show has been axed after 18 years due to budget cuts at the ABC. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06-11/abc-panel-show-q-a-discontinued-after-18-years-on-air/105400400 Separately, it will enhance its Your Say initiative and expand the production of news documentaries. https://www.abc.net.au/about/media-centre/press-releases/abc-announces-plan-to-discontinue-q-a-boosts-news-documentaries-/105402622
  21. That still looks like the old animation to me so I'm still confused.
  22. Here's a chilling picture... wow. Just..... woooow. Found via Facebook.
  23. Can you explain? I don't understand what you're trying to point out.
  24. I just realized that half of the 12 hours its airs news on weekdays is on Boston (6:30 and 7:30pm repeats of the 6 and 7pm news are on there too) with the other half on New England. So much for New England news when you don't even focus on the region half the time on weekdays. Either become Boston Cable News or just shut it down entirely. IMO, I'm on the latter. NBC damaged the channel too much for it to be saved. I wouldn't want Boston news if I lived in Pittsfield, Mass. or New Haven or even in Presque Isle, yet, NBC doesn't care. I've been very very fortunate to have watched NECN from the late 90s to the mid 2010s. IMHO, the golden era of the network was the 2000s. As I've said, Hearst was better at managing this channel than NBC ever has. Also, going into speculation territory here but, I think Hearst should reacquire 50% of the channel and hope that NBC will divest its other 50% to Gray since they own stations in 5 out of the 9 DMA's (only conflict would be Burlington but that's a minor thing). I know that will never happen but imagine if it did.
  25. WBZ has dropped its weeknight 9pm news on WSBK in favor of a new partnership between WBZ and NESN where it now airs a sports show from NESN after the 8pm news. https://tvnewscheck.com/programming/article/wbz-boston-new-england-sports-network-partner-for-red-sox-and-bruins-coverage/
