I don't think WTVG was ready for that since they were brand new under Gray ownership back then.

It is over for Hollie Strano at WKYC. She is no longer there as of today. https://www.cleveland.com/news/2024/09/meteorologist-hollie-strano-says-she-has-been-let-go-by-wkyc-channel-3.html

Woah. One of X's top markets is BLOCKED by Brazil's top court. No, it's not gone permanently. Just suspended for now. https://apnews.com/article/brazil-musk-x-suspended-de-moraes-46c9d5c5c895e17d9adfac43e6ac20fd

By the way, she's keeping the Chief Met Morning trend going. She's staying on their morning and noon news, which means that Meteorologist Blake Hansen will take over their 5:00, 5:30, 6:00, and 11:00 p.m. news come late November (more likely after Thanksgiving) once George retires. A better explanation can be found here...

Umm... something is defintely going on at WFTV Orlando because George Waldenberger, their longtime weekend meteorologist, is leaving as well. https://www.facebook.com/story.php/?story_fbid=938444928090829&id=100057759922361

Keep your eyes peeled on WHEC-TV Rochester. There could be a new look coming to them shortly. No, its not on the air yet, but they have already debuted a new logo that appears online. Its their first new logo in 20 years.

Starting Monday, September 9th, WFXT is going all out for local news once again which I'm not so sure will work considering the amount of people who continue to leave the station. Regardless, WFXT is doing it. They're cutting the 4:30am half-hour of their morning news so it can then air from 5:00-11:00 a.m. (leaving WCVB all alone at 4:30am), plus all brand new: two hours of midday news from 11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. They're also bringing back their hour-long 4:00 p.m. news after a years-long hiatus, returning the local news block to three hours. Finally, its all-night news starting with their usual 10:00, 10:30, and 11:00 news, then National News Tonight at 11:35, then Gray's Investigate TV+ (repeat from 1:00pm) just after midnight, and then... repeats of their 10:00 and 11:00 p.m. news from 12:35 a.m. until the morning news begins anew at 5:00 a.m. No, this is not a joke or a made-up schedule. This is according to TVPassport and partially confirmed by Zap2it as of this post. WFXT is really gonna go with this.

T.J. Springer is moving from Hearst's WGAL to FOX's WOFL/WRBW/WOGX. https://www.facebook.com/tjspringerwx/posts/pfbid02zLD3RFWn3TS5RLzzaQ4nPUen6yvUDoLp6kfdFUeqBwyDjhz3L8gSYBoNoSiDQhUpl

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.

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.
