Love this guy. One of the best at WGN. I'd watch him more during his 9:00 p.m. run than his midday run honestly but his style is next-to-amazing. Its nothing like it and its why he's so beloved at WGN and with Chicagoland viewers. It'll be sad to see him go, but he deserves retirement in every single sense of that word. Plus, he'll still be peforming too as he's a musician. As heartbreaking and emotional it will be on his final day, it will be more so once Skilling retires.

At least Zap2it is still around. Once that goes away, I'll truly feel it. I kinda use it for my blog sometimes.

Why is WATN there? What station represents the First News at 9:00 mic flag? I don't remember that one.

Also, that bar would display other sports scores in which I haven't seen in any of their other packages since.

So I was right! I guess. Lol. I didn't know TVA had one for its flagship. Doesn't Citytv Toronto have a chopper with their sister CFTR?

Who's left with Choppers in Canada? I think Global still has Choppers in Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver with CTV's in Toronto and CBC has none. I think Citytv used to have one for Toronto but even I'm not sure about that.

Going back to its pre-2016 days. Plus, there's no weekend edition too.

Plus, if several NBC affiliates already preempt the 4th hour (most notably some Hearst ones like WBAL-TV Baltimore), then what's the point?

Sorry to bring this up and I know it doesn't deserve to belong here since its 2008-present but its related to the ERA topic. If you've been wondering what Carol Jenkins (former WNBC'er) has been up to... here you go. https://www.c-span.org/video/?466272-4/washington-journal-carol-jenkins-discusses-efforts-ratify-equal-rights-amendment

WNYT welcomes its second female meteorologist in two days.

I don't see the UK doing this but kinda nice seeing BFM TV taking the plunge and the commitment to do this across France.

Really? I find that hard to believe. It took WNYT until 2020 to finally take that plunge?

Shows you how much I don't know about television but know how much about television news. Its why I'm on this forum. Haha.

Don't forget... black-ish and grown-ish on The ABC Television Network.

The Live Well Network name is finally going away, years after ending national distribution and mainly being a repeat-focused lifestyle network. Instead, it'll become ABC's Local-ish starting February 17th. https://tvnewscheck.com/article/top-news/243676/abc-oos-localish-expands-with-diginet-rebranding/

It was on WWJ from 5-7 a.m. but WKBD also had a 2-hour extension from 7-9 a.m.

To put it into perspective... its been 7 years since WKBD has aired a newscast, 15 years since WUPA has aired a newscast and yes... 22 years since WTOG has aired a newscast which was their former news department that ended in 1998.

RTVE Spain mourns the death of former Informe Semanal (the equiv. of 60 Minutes) director and journalist Alicia Gómez Montano who passed away earlier today from a battle with cancer. She was 65 http://www.rtve.es/noticias/20200118/adios-alicia-gomez-montano/1995832.shtml https://www.elespanol.com/corazon/television/20200118/fallece-alicia-gomez-montano-exdirectora-informe-semanal/460704151_0.html

However, I do have a feeling though that once CBSN DFW and CBSN Miami launches, you'll be seeing an hour-long newscast from the service on both KTXA and WBFS, respectively.

I probably would've turned off WKYC from all of my news viewing ever since the "3" era started. I would've been fine watching WEWS or WOIO/WUAB over WKYC's garbage. But my heart would be on WJW, 100% of the time. And considering that WJW is on at the same times as WKYC, except 11PM and some weekend hours, I wouldn't miss it too much at all.

I think Columbia, Mo. is the only place in the country where a University owns a big four network affiliate and an NPR member station.

Why am I getting Sinclair website vibes with this?

Just what the doctor ordered for WJZY. They needed a big name veteran talent like Brigida Mack and they got it.

That is an error. And the press release officially says... WGN-TV Political Report. The listings got it wrong. Actually sounds kinda lame, IMO. https://wgntv.com/2020/01/08/chicagos-very-own-wgn-tv-adds-more-local-news-and-programming-starting-january-11/

First NBC Boston and Telemundo Boston, next NBC 10 Boston and Telemundo Nueva Inglaterra, now what next?
