Its time to put another local market focus before B&C shuts down... Sacramento. There was no surprise who the winner was (and still is). Also, KOVR is on at 10pm, NOT KMAX. https://www.nexttv.com/news/local-news-close-up-sacramento-stockton-modesto-calif?utm_source=Listrak&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=Local+News+Close-Up%3a+California’s+Capital+Is+A+Vast+And+Varied+Market&utm_campaign=Digital+Economy+To+Reach+%2416.5T%2c+Take+17%+Of+GDP+By+2028

OnTVTonight has the 11:00pm as Good Day New York at Night and the description says... Highlights of past shows. So... that has to be it as to what that will be all about.

For those wondering, this is when coverage will end across the NBCUniversal networks (this is according to various TV listings websites)... NBC's final day: Sunday from 7:00am-2:30pm for the final full day of coverage, 2:30-6:00pm for the closing ceremonies (LIVE), 7:00-10:00pm for the ceremony (repeat), 10:00pm for an hour-long special previewing L.A. 2028. Telemundo's final day: Sunday from 7:00am-1:00pm for the final full day of coverage, and 2:30-6:00pm for the closing ceremonies (LIVE). They've also done a nightly two-hour best-of look from Midnight to 2:00am and it'll be there as well. Universo's coverage is already wrapped up as they'll have no coverage at all this weekend so that network is done for these games. USA stops their 24-hour coverage: Sunday at 5:30pm, before NBC on NASCAR coverage from Richmond Motor Speedway. USA's normal entertainment programming doesn't resume until at least 9:30pm on Sunday. CNBC and E!'s final day: Saturday from 4:00am-6:00pm. There will be no Sunday coverage for either of the networks. Golf Channel's final day: Saturday from 3:00am-1:00pm + repeat from 9:00pm-3:00am as the Golf portion of the games wraps up. There will be no new Sunday coverage outside of repeat from Saturday.

I'm afraid this means those local news market close-up pieces they've been doing are ending.

I'm going to be curious as well. WFOR will probably either move the news on WBFS to 10pm or just cancel it entirely because competing against WSVN 7 at 10pm will be a death sentence for them. WSFL will probably continue with WPLG's 10pm news in the short-term but cancel them in the long term because of the new Florida Panthers deal and the frequent preemptions that would come with it if it is NOT canceled.

You're right and the WGTA schedule hasn't been updated since. https://www.facebook.com/RemingtonHernandez/posts/pfbid02E2GED1uETio8ks5qEgRy1mpjn8JAiBMP7Kx8KNiLL4o4119BTsB6B4KNoq38GXPAl

I knew it would be fast. My question is did KBTX know about Kovar and her drunken incident and decide to give her a second chance knowing she may go through another incident again? I'm just curious about KBTX's process for hiring her. I don't know if it will be the end of her (despite what I said on Discord in which I apologize) but let's see what happens.

That's a HUGE get for the network. If they needed anyone to help up their presence at the network, its anyone from TWC and luckily, that's him.

The streams are still up but are airing yesterday's content. https://archive.is/9WCxf

WLEX has been using some of that iteration of that music as well so it looks like its expanding.

WBFS has now aired a 10pm since 2011 and they now air 9pm news from WFOR since last year. WTVJ did but canceled in 2008 amid the now-aborted WTVJ sale to Post-Newsweek. WPLG has now done so for WSFL since 2021 but just canceled their morning news in favor of Scripps News programming. WTVJ later tried at 9pm on NBC Miami Nonstop (WTVJ 6.2) for a few months but canceled before the Cozi TV launch. Regardless, NOBODY can beat WSVN at their 10pm game. I live in this market so I can speak highly about this (my default pic is why it is what it is). WSVN garners ratings at 10pm makes others jealous. Yeah, I don't see it surviving much longer since the 10pm news would be frequently preempted most nights by Panthers games, regardless of whether it starts early or late.

Well, what's also important with this particular point is that... WDAF is #1 in most timeslots. They're not running away with it but they're pretty good. KSHB got rid of their 9pm news on KMCI 20+ years ago because of WDAF's success at 9pm. KCTV used to have 9pm news on KSMO at one point too but got rid of that because of WDAF's success at 9pm. The only real challenger here is KMBC's 9pm news on KCWE which does well because of the KMBC branding and reputation but I think WDAF is still #1 there and by a good bit. If this did happen, KSHB would be destroyed at that timeslot as its been proven 20+ years ago at KMCI.

I honestly think that WBAY has the best 24/7 weather subchannel in the entire country. Almost 20 years later and still going strong. Also, WSAW Wausau adopted that "Every 7 Minutes" format not too long ago recently as well.

They launched that like a year or two ago I believe so it is not new at all.

Bingo. WSVN wants nothing to do with the FOX branding outside of airing FOX network programming, live sports, and their promos. When it comes to national news coverage, WSVN has always done it themselves, maybe with the exception of the SOTU address every year, and there has been a handful of times where WSVN would rather carry live coverage from CNN (via their affiliation with CNN Newsource) than FOX News Channel (from FOX NewsEdge). Bingo. That's how WSVN 7 operates and they want to keep it that way. After all, they're not FOX 7 for a reason. I happen to live in the only media market in Florida where our FOX affiliate doesn't go by your standard typical FOX branding and that's how they look at when it comes to news as well. It won't change anytime soon, y'all, and they probably won't even mention FOX at all outside their new building in Miramar come 2026.

Having watched WSVN 7 as my preferred news station for 19 years now, this is exactly true. Also, they RARELY run FOX News packages from FOX NewsEdge, if ever. And when they do, they make them use custom tagouts so that its 7 News and not FOX News (for example, for Madeline Rivera, a correspondent for FOX News Edge, she would say... in Washington, Madeline Rivera, 7 News. She would never say FOX News on reports sent for WSVN.). And yes, WSVN mainly does their own coverage for national news stories, including the Biden presser from yesterday. They rarely take anything national from FOX News.

I'll respond. First off, welcome aboard since I can tell this is your first post. And second, no. I believe The Good Morning Show from WFMY-TV Greensboro is the first early local morning newscast in the United States. That program has been on since December 1957.

Troy was a popular meteorologist for like 15+ years at WKMG-TV Orlando. He used to work in OKC before that I believe and was a chief at one point at KLRT Little Rock when their news operations got going in 2004 (when KLRT was separate from KARK at the time).

Unless it was on KCOP.

WHDH-TV Boston.

I like anchors sitting on a desk... but NOT on Citytv.

I mean... WGN hired a then-newcomer morning meteorologist from Rockford almost eight years ago. She jumped from market #137 to market #3 and I think people criticized that because she wasn't market-ready to go from small market Rockford to big market Chicago. Today, Morgan Kolkmeyer is one of the best home run decisions WGN made to hire for their morning news program within the past decade. I wouldn't have known her otherwise had she not gone to WGN.

It's Nice to Come Home... to TV 3! (KORK-TV Las Vegas, better known as KVBC and today's KSNV).

Never. KRIV did so first and has been doing one... since 2010.

Damn. I loved Kelly. I thought she was great and very versatile.
