  1. I think Karen Carter got the shaft.. She was there before any of the current meteorologist if I remember correctly... Whenever I watched the weather updates, it was always Karen Carter and then Kylee when she came... Unless it was truly her choice...
  2. When the tornado outbreak was happening this past weekend, I was expecting to find plenty of coverage from Hearst stations KETV and KOCO. But my news feed was rather scarce. After doing some digging, I found that all of the Hearst stations actual Facebook pages are no longer available. You can still see a smattering of reporters/mets/etc with station branded accounts. Twitter and Insta seem to be fine. When I go to the bottom of the websites and click on Social & Apps, then choose the Facebook link, I get the image below...
  3. Sister stations are stations that are owned by the same company as them. For example WOOD-TV in Grand Rapids is the sister station to WLNS in Lansing -- both are owned by Nexstar. WNBC in NYC is sister to KNBC in LA -- both are owned by NBCUniversal... etc etc etc
  4. WDIV debuted a new studio on 4/20 @ 6pm (weird day/time).. I kinda liked the previous set better..
  5. What's with the Hearst-like rip off diagrid L3's for their 11pm bumpers??
  6. I've lost all respect for Scripps at this point.. They just really want to screw everyone: employees, viewers, etc...
  7. Thank you for your hard work in getting this site back up and running.. I agree the red is a nice touch
  8. Makes sense, since ABC 10 is a bare bones station that does literally nothing news wise....WJMN would do much better for ABC
  9. KKTV made the switch back on 4/4.. Interestingly enough, the CBS eye has not been removed... for now....
  10. Nexstar has sold WJMN to Sullivan's Landing LLC, headed by former Quincy Media head Ralph Oakley, will be run by Morgan Murphy Media... sale is now pending per regulatory matters
  11. I do like the cleaner look of the logo... Some of these boxed and multi-colored logos just don't work anymore.. especially with certain graphics packages....
  12. I do love the implementation of these new weather graphics. Can easily tell if it's for metro or mountains... My biggest 2 gripes: 1) the sidebar 7-day still needs to be updated; 2) the very very choppy animation of the clouds in the 7-day.. ouch
  13. I don't only because the animated weather part is waaaayyy too busy... plus they have only a 30% chance of rain/storms and show the entire day as rain.. Can be very misleading if you can't see the teeny tiny weather icon above...
  14. Fomer KXAN Chief Meteorologist David Yeomans is joining WBBM as midday meteorologist.
  15. They went the ABC O&O route with their 10-day
  16. Welcome to TEGNA -- They've screwed a slew of legacy stations over, including WTHR and WBNS to name a few...
  17. Interestingly enough, according to her LinkedIn, Velasquez is now a freelance meteorologist for WLWT
  18. That is the big rumor I've now read from multiple sources...
  19. I was thinking the same thing... It will be a nice step up for him
  20. KXAN Chief Meteorologist David Yeomans is leaving after Wednesday
  21. I really used to like Scripps... Now I think they are complete trash... They're still above Sinclair, but barely...
