  1. KWTV's Robin Marsh!
  2. I have watched her for years. Always been a fan of hers over the 13 years I've gone to Orlando on vacation.
  3. Scripps shares rise 31% and could be looking to buy Cox's TV station if they were interested and if were play. https://www.wcpo.com/money/local-business-news/scripps-shares-rise-on-31-percent-revenue-growth-in-second-quarter
  4. Just a darn shame... KRBK becomes the new "alternate" and now, it'll be a two-station market... KYTV/KSPR/KYCW vs. KOLR/KOZL/KRBK
  5. Plus, Heartland Media owns WAAY 31 so.... NOPE! And I like Heartland Media myself so no way Nexstar could've gotten Heartland.
  6. When I did my article on my blog, I had to mention that while WSB claimed to be the first to do this... not true. KIRO used to have an hour-long extension at 7:00am that was online and streaming only as well as KELOLand offering a 15-minute newscast at 4:00pm that was also online and streaming only. Both have since been discontinued. But I believe WSB is the first to create a full-time 24/7 online/streaming channel as if it was a real-time traditional television channel, giving WSB a sister platform to air additional hours of local news if it wanted.
  7. I'll soon report it on my blog. Speaking of the blog... while WNCN has expanded its noon newscast to a full hour as of yesterday, history was made over at Sacramento's KOVR when it has decided to move its 11:00 p.m. news from KMAX to KOVR and expand it to weekends. This means that KOVR has become the first BIG Three O&O station/affiliate to air 90-minutes of local news from 10:00-11:35 p.m. every night. https://changingnewscasts.wordpress.com/2018/07/31/small-minor-newscast-changes-221/
  8. Only conflicts: Orlando (WESH 2/WKCF 18 and WFTV 9/WRDQ 27) Boston (WCVB 5/WMUR 9 and WFXT 25) Pittsburgh (WTAE 4 and WPXI 11)
  9. KJRH Tulsa's weeknight 6:00pm news has been expanded to a full hour. https://changingnewscasts.wordpress.com/2018/07/30/kjrh-now-local-news-exclusivity-tulsa-630-pm/ WVUE New Orleans' Morning Edition is about to add another hour. https://changingnewscasts.wordpress.com/2018/07/30/wvue-morning-edition-about-to-get-bigger/
  10. I know this is not the speculation thread but... 8.1 = ABC 8.2 = Me-TV 8.3 = H&I 51.1 = CW 51.2 = MyTV 51.3 = Escape 51.4 = Laff I may be wrong, but that's how I see it.
  11. By the way, that article says that WNNE is a CW affiliate. I thought they were joking. I thought that wasn't right because I know its an NBC affiliate. Apparently, when WNNE started to channel-share with WPTZ, it became a CW affiliate (taking over from WPTZ and is now WNNE 5.2) so there you go... https://www.mynbc5.com/article/program-alert-prepare-to-rescan-your-tv-to-continue-receiving-wnnes-signal/22105482 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WNNE
  12. Well then... get ready for 7-9am and 10pm news on WPXT.
  13. Other FOX O&O stations won't be cutting back so this ain't happening.
  14. And with Lauren Jiggetts expecting a baby soon (alongside Sarah Jindra from the Evening News team), expect more off-air staff for a while.
  15. Any source for this info? I'm only seeing it here and not anywhere else.
  16. TBD TV was a stupid name from the beginning and it looks like those plans are DEAD.
  17. Well I don't wanna keep going because we're just going off-topic but... I'm just a guy who prefers a straight hard news format, something that CBS-TM does. And also, GMA has just gotten too soft and so much fluff for me. (Gotten off-topic here but I'm done.)
  18. The new name which shows you complete stupidity about GMA plus the audience format that they still have and I don't know why. And yet, more people continue to tune into GMA. I like CBS This Morning better even though I don't watch network morning news.
  19. Congrats ABC. You make me wanna watch CBS This Morning now.
  20. Except those 4:30 a.m. sports reports are mainly pre-recorded so she won't be "exhausted" as you may think.
  21. I thought WCAU was second.
  22. They were probably last at that time and the scandal only led KYW's ratings to further continue into freefall. They haven't recovered since and may remain last for the remainder of its history.
  23. Well whatever the case was, he's gone. Bio is gone and everything.
  24. Say hello to Nueve, the newest name to Gala TV in Mexico. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_9_(Mexico)
