Such inspiration for WSVN. It so worked. RIP Mr. Leider. My all-time favorite station and became so as a result of his leadership.

WMTV's Amy Carlson has decided to retire after a splendid 30 year career with the station, 24 of them doing weekend weather. https://www.nbc15.com/content/news/Longtime-NBC15-Weekend-Weather-Anchor-Announces-Final-Sign-Off-510983401.html Bill Lamb left WDRB Louisville to manage a station in a "top 10 market." That market? L.A. to manage KTTV and KCOP. https://tvnewscheck.com/article/top-news/236353/bill-lamb-named-vp-gm-of-foxs-l-a-duopoly/ We lost a man who turned WSVN Miami into a gigantic 800-ton gorilla powerhouse in South Florida. https://wsvn.com/remembering-bob-leider/?utm_source=Listrak&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=WSVN+Miami+Remembers+Bob+Leider&utm_campaign=FCC+Investigating+Sinclair+Over+Tribune+Deal NECN has decided to cancel The Take with Sue O'Connell, ending a longtime show that has had many variants since the 90s including NewsNight with R.D. Sahl (later with Curtis and Sahl), The Chet Curtis Report and Broadside with Jim Braude. https://www.boston.com/news/media/2019/06/26/necn-cancels-the-take-sue-oconnell

So Gray brings CW and NBC affiliations to life apparently. It was just on Tuesday when I posted about Gray putting NBC in Mankato. Now, it will put NBC in Presque Isle, Maine on WWPI Channel 16 starting later this year. Once final, WAGM will have CBS on 8.1, FOX on 8.2, CW on 8.3 and NBC on WWPI 16.1. https://www.wagmtv.com/content/news/WAGM-announces-launch-of-NBC-Affiliation-511731462.html

So Gray not only likes to bring CW+ affiliations to life, but NBC too. Just days ago, Gray announced it would bring NBC to Mankato on KMNF-LD Channel 7. Now? Its bringing NBC to Presque Isle on WWPI Channel 16. https://www.wagmtv.com/content/news/WAGM-announces-launch-of-NBC-Affiliation-511731462.html

Now we know why she left. However, I stand up with her because I think she's one of the best female anchors San Diego has ever had. She deserves her full reimbusement for her work. (Sorry if I sound like I'm on one side over the other, but its true and I would've said the same for others who were in this situation)

KFSN and WBNS, I believe IIRC, were two I can recall right now that used a promo structure like this.

Here we go again... time to play Gray taking CW+ to over-the-air! The latest example... KEYC Mankato. Gray is creating KMNF-LD which will start in September and when it does, Gray will put NBC (currently, the market either has KARE Minneapolis or KTTC Rochester, Minn.) on 7.1 and CW+ (it has its own cable-only affiliate "KWYE" but there could also be WUCW Minneapolis or KTTC 10.2 Rochester, Minn.) on 7.2. Mankato probably already has ABC over-the-air via KRWF-TV 43 Redwood Falls (plus Ind. from KSTC on 43.2). https://www.keyc.com/2019/06/24/keyc-tv-adding-more-network-affiliates-this-fall/

Idk about you guys, but I really do love Gray's opens. They are unique and differennt.

Unfortunately, KDEN is owned by NBC and NBC owns Cozi TV... there you go.

But which one is better out of the two? KTVK or KPHO because IMO, its still KTVK.

Well, I didn't mean like where he could be returning. I meant like which station he was talking about in terms of possible turbluence as if something could go down that could be really jarring. But then again, I could be wrong...

I love Marcella. Been a fan of her's for a long time. Not surprised she's going through this but surprised that many more haven't admitted this yet because this job would suck the fun out of everybody when all your covering is hard news and crime. I feel so bad for her as I've admired her for a long time now.

Oh boy. Let me guess... KUSI? If not, KFMB?

Angie Miles has left WTVR Richmond for the second time. https://wtvr.com/2019/06/16/angie-miles-leaving-wtvr-cbs-6-for-second-time/

And I wouldn't be surprised. Kimberly Hunt used to work at KGTV and then went to KUSI only to go back to KGTV. In fact, if Sandra goes to KGTV, how bout opening up the 7 p.m. to Kimberly anchoring with Sandra? Kimberly and Carol LeBeau went 15 years together. Part deux here?

I really liked both website looks that Nexstar has put out recently. This new one, IMO, is slightly better than the old one. I would use this on any website I make because its that good.

You can count WCAX in there too but my thinking is... no. American stations from an American company, probably only playing the American national anthem.

As previously mentioned on the shoutbox on discord... Gray is restoring an American television tradition with the playing on the national anthem, though it will mostly be played during the overnight hours when most of us are sleeping. Most stations are airing it at around 4am local time to signal the start of their broadcasting day. You may wanna check your local Gray station's stories on their website to find out when it will air. https://www.graydc.com/content/news/Gray-Television-stations-to-air-national-anthem-510982882.html Its been a tradition for years at KBTX. https://www.kbtx.com/content/news/510985202.html

Round 1 goes to the perverted televangelist. I say perverted because he is accused of those acts against men. Its just a mess.

WOW. Well, what does it say? I don't have the paywall access so I wouldn't know. Changing the subject and in a sad way... Say hello to Paul James for me, Bob Welti. Dick Nourse is all we got left. https://www.ksl.com/article/46567000/longtime-ksl-weatherman-bob-welti-dead-at-94

It doesn't say if its WTVT or not. It could be another station. How do you know its WTVT? Besides, WTVT is probably FOX's strongest O&O they got.

They've been using that for weeks now. Its not really that bad!

The majority start at 8am ET/5am PT, some at 9am ET/6am PT and even WHIO Dayton airs it at 10am.

KCBA is in Salinas/Monterey and is FOX. You probably meant KBCA.

I didn't see that coming but you know what that means... WIS News 10 from 7-9am and 10-11pm.
