A year or two ago, KOCO launched a midday newscast at 11:00am but it was temporary to make way for a 4:00pm newscast. It looks like they're bringing it back and it looks to be permanent. https://www.koco.com/article/koco-5-relaunching-11am-newscast-cameron-sibert-sabrina-bates-joseph-neubauer/61995987

I know this clip is a montage that mainly doesn't have to do with Nexstar but there's one clip on here that makes news and goes on this thread... Me-TV will be the network WTHI will carry on 10.3 as they lose The CW to WTWO 2.2. The promo is at 6:56.

And I realize that this is possible because WCBS has canceled its 9am news in favor of an hour of Drew Barrymore.

Oh really? I didn't know that.

Also... Cinco Cosas a Saber, a new digital Spanish newscast from KING KONG. https://www.king5.com/video/entertainment/television/programs/new-day-northwest/king-5-launches-digital-spanish-newscast-new-day-nw/281-854a2551-9e10-4e74-9663-ae0183ea3a95

That set has always given me Nexstar vibes.

Mornings are being expanded from just a half-hour (6:30am on WBUP) to a full two hours, 5:30 on WBUP goes away in favor of WJMN's hour-long offering at 6:00, and the 10:00pm gets shortened to a half-hour (compared to the current hour-long format) on WJMN. It also sounds like the news on WJMN on weekends 6:00, 6:30, and 10:30pm also goes away.

For 30 years, KUSA has had local news at 4:00, 4:30, 5:00, and 6:00 p.m. Starting Monday, September 9th (which sounds like the first day of the new TV season), add 3:00 and 3:30 news to the extended list to replace DBL. https://www.9news.com/article/about-us/9news-launching-new-newscast-3pm/73-4915c13f-ac6f-410f-abc7-fbbbeae5bf84 EDIT: Denver's only news breaks after this on weekdays will be 12:30-01:00 and 02:00-03:00 p.m. EDIT x2: This is not Denver's first attempt at 3:00pm news. KMGH once had one a decade ago under McGraw Hill ownership under 7 News NOW.

You gotta feel for the WGNO Sports department. First, it was him. Now, it's longtime sports producer Mark Deane who passed away as well, killed in an awful tragic motorcycle accident. https://awfulannouncing.com/local-networks/mark-deane-wgno-sports-producer-passes-away.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=bluesky

Another legend in Cincinnati is heading for semi-retirement. WLWT's Courtis Fuller is leaving the anchor desk but not the station entirely. https://www.wlwt.com/article/courtis-fuller-retiring-anchor-desk-lets-talk-cincy/61951270

I believe in second chances but this guy doesn't deserve it. I think his career is over. TL;DR - WACH weekend anchor/sports reporter Matt Vereen has been arrested for possessing and distributing child porn. He is suspended from the station pending further investigation but IMO... he will more likely be fired and his days in TV and broadcasting are over. https://www.wistv.com/2024/08/23/columbia-tv-journalist-arrested-possession-child-pornography-ag-says/

WPTV turned 70 yesterday and went all out for it, including bringing back a legendary anchor, even if its just a short interview. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iE4e-uiZ4g&ab_channel=WPTVNews-FLPalmBeachesandTreasureCoast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLkWIARPPoY

Cat Taylor gets a very well deserved promotion at KTIV. https://www-ktiv-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.ktiv.com/2024/08/13/ktiv-announces-expansion-first-alert-weather-team/?outputType=amp

More CW affiliates are on the move... TL;DR WAGT 26.2 to WJBF 6.3 Augusta. KNOE 8.3/KCWL 40.1 to KARD 14.2 West Monroe/Monroe/El Dorado. KAUZ 6.2 to KFDX 3.3 Wichita Falls/Lawton. WTHI 10.3 to WTWO 2.2 Terre Haute. WKTV 2.3 to WFXV 33.2 Utica. https://tvnewscheck.com/programming/article/five-more-nexstar-stations-becoming-cw-affiliates/?utm_source=Listrak&https://tvnewscheck.com/programming/article/five-more-nexstar-stations-becoming-cw-affiliates/?utm_source=Listrak&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=Five+More+Nexstar+Stations+Becoming+CW+Affiliates&utm_campaign=CTV+Advertising+Has+An+Embarrassing+Fill+Rate+And+Frequency+Problem.+Can+AI+Fix+It%3futm_medium=Email&utm_term=Five+More+Nexstar+Stations+Becoming+CW+Affiliates&utm_campaign=CTV+Advertising+Has+An+Embarrassing+Fill+Rate+And+Frequency+Problem.+Can+AI+Fix+It%3f

For the record, this is a Sports and Independent station while also retaining the MyNetworkTV affiliation for primetime so you'll get a mix of everything here.

ABC Australia's managing director has decided to resign but will stay until early 2025 for a smooth and orderly transition to the next director. https://www.abc.net.au/about/media-centre/press-releases/abc-managing-director-david-anderson/104257260

I had a feeling. I hated looking at the court shows they had in the afternoon during work sometimes. Its about time they give part of that up.

A dozen years was more than enough for Karla Ray. Today was her last day at WFTV Orlando. https://www.facebook.com/KarlaRayTV/posts/pfbid0GEV7nsepbMponrsheBfTDvEbtdjzsotb8zJrTFrvmRAdUkt8xR6NdDK5ayNhfjujl

Linda Olsen anchored her last newscast at CICT Global Calgary yesterday and is now off to retirement. https://globalnews.ca/news/10624906/linda-olsen-global-calgary-news-career/

It won't last long, which is surprising considering that WPLG has done 10pm news on WSFL for 3 years now.

Its already mentioned somewhere else on these forums but I thought I'd post it here too. KVUE is finally giving KXAN a 4pm competitor starting September 9th. https://www.kvue.com/article/about-us/kvue-news-at-4/269-91a51757-44a2-4a0a-b57b-df5142391a2b

I wasn't trying to at all. I apologize if it did. My thinking was that it was a best-of GDNY but it later turned out to be an all original program which is surprising.

WTVG has carried The CW for a decade as of next month. However, it has NEVER carried an exclusive newscast from WTVG. It has aired simulcasts of WTVG's Noon and 4pm news but no exclusives there... until now. WTVG's second subchannel finally gets a 10pm newscast starting September 16th. Daily, and an hour long. https://www.13abc.com/2024/08/13/13-action-news-launch-10pm-newscast-this-fall-cw13/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=snd&utm_content=wtvg

Here's your answer. A 6pm repeat at 8pm. https://youtu.be/XX4uVfz5faE?si=YX-SfsN1L8LcKi-4

It has been seven years since Tracey Anthony graced WeatherNation's airwaves. After all that time doing other projects and industries (according to her LinkedIn), she's back.
