Yep... four 9pm newscasts in Mobile. Similar to Boston until WBZ moved its 10pm news to WSBK (focused on Boston-centric stations though - I know there are 2 NH-focused ones as well)

Condolences to him, but will that finally mean that WOAY will be sold to a better ownership group? Somebody like Gray?

Not at WFOR and its the only English-language station in my market that does so. The rest (WTVJ, WSVN and WPLG) are formatted in 16:9 The Spanish stations aren't... at least as of now.

The profile image that he has on him... WDAF-TV 4 / Kansas City

I dont think I've ever seen Jim laugh that funny before. It's hard for him to laugh uncontrolably.

Good luck to KXTV. I can tell its already failing miserably.

For those who are wondering about why i>Tele in France has not been rebranded to CNews as of yet, there has apparently been a management strike between management and journalists. This information is according to the French version of Wikipedia which has better details of info and programming on French news networks, including BFM TV, i>Tele, LCI and Franceinfo, than the English versions. It says that the rebrand to CNews will happen but at a later date. If you look at the planned "CNews" logo, its similar to the other Canal+ logos out there and its to make the name closer to the Canal+ group that still exists in France. They plan to use this logo once the rebrand happens, which is whenever the strike will end.

I think the full-power KFXF is going to be shut down for spectrum.

If WWL were to go Independent instead, it would be a HUGE blow to WDSU, WVUE and especially WGNO. I dont see that happening, but i don't wanna rule anything out.

Unfortunately, I dont see that happening since WWL has been CBS for as long as I can remember and possibly as long as the station has been around itself.

WFLD even beat WMAQ! That's so rare.

So WGN and the Cubs were meant to be together.

Sorry for the double post, but yeah. Its official. That's pretty sad because if it does horribly on WUPL, then the 30-year-old 7-9am block will be vanished. I'd bet WVUE is ECSTATIC at this news considering that this can hurt WWL's morning news ratings.

Actually, KUTV airs the first hour at 8am while KMYU airs the second hour at 9am.

Its similar today. WTLV still has first half-hour only of morning news (4:30am) and exclusive to noon while 7:00pm is still only on 25.

I know that WXLV has news again but it doesn't beat their original attempt and even by then, it was bad.

Actually that was at the time of the merger. If you read the description, it says it was on the first day or on the first week of the new merged operation.

Has it? TV listings are always confusing to me. TV listings have always shown the program as 4:30-7am.

Imagine he goes back to KTTV to do the news with Christine Devine once again. Probably won't happen but one can imagine.

That'll never happen. There will never be a KING 5 News at 11:00 and KONG 6 News at 11:00 or a KING 5 News at 4:00 and KONG 6 News at 4:00 because its like saying that KONG will open up its own news department to compete against KING. If anything, there can be more regional-focused newscasts that can be coming in a style of NWCN for KONG, but don't expect that.

24/7 = 2003-2012? Still on air but is now General entertainment TXCN = 1999-2015 NWCN = 1995-2017 NewsWatch 15 = 1989-present Notice something? The repeat channel has lasted longer than the original produced channels.

First... The 24/7 News Channel from KTVB, then TXCN and now NWCN. What's next... NewsWatch 15?

FTVLive has reported a lot of true stories so if this becomes true, truly sad for the Northwest region that they'll losing their only 24-Hour regional cable news channel. NWCN is like TEGNA's last great cable news channel because the only other one (NewsWatch 15) airs nothing but repeats and NWCN was profitable.

There's no doubt that WBAY is clearly the winner in that market with WLUK being a strong second. I think thanks to Nexstar, WFRV is in last and for once, WGBA will catch up! Good for them.

I'd bet they would but after all, Mearl is only on at 5 and 9 with someone else at 10 and Darrell does all the evening broadcasts so whoever else anchors the 10pm with Darrell could do the 6pm as well but I'm not entirely sure on that.
