Shawn Yancy at Fox 5 DC announced she is leaving WTTG after 19 years. https://www.fox5dc.com/news/shawn-yancy-signs-off-from-fox-5-for-the-last-time-exactly-19-years-after-her-first-day

This is all such a shame. I was born and raised in the DMV and waking up to her was such a joy! Fox 5 has made some really bad choices the past few years - it’s a shame to see what’s happening there. Hopefully Allison lands on her feet on tv here again in the DMV.

What did the post say about Allison @CLT-DCA-ORF-PTI? It’s not avail now.

It wasn’t even 15 months if I recall right. Too bad - I really enjoyed his energy.

They have been using it for prob about 6 months now.

I agree. It’s too much of a mouthful. The anchors are struggling lol. I’d like a VO like: From Wjla 24/7 news, this is the evening report, on your side.

Here is the open from the inaugural newscast.

Seth Kovar is out at KXXV

Legendary WUSA anchor Andrea Roane has announced her retirement, effective in July.

My point exactly! It makes no damn sense

I received additional word from WDVM on coverage and Comcast gave them the most bullshit excuse for not carrying them in Loudoun County. It’s mind boggling..WDVM actually provides a valuable service to loudoun..UNLIKE WMDE which they must carry.. From: Hugh Breslin <[email protected]> Date: July 7, 2017 at 8:27:21 AM EDT To: Eric Walker Cc: Diane Biser <[email protected]> Subject: RE: WHAG Programming Changes Mr. Walker, I do not have good news here. We are told by Comcast that they do not have the bandwith necessary to carry WDVM-TV in Loudoun County at this time. We will continue in our efforts. WDVM-TV is available on Verizon FIOS and DISH Network in Loudoun County. Hugh J Breslin, III VP/General Manager [email protected]

Yea this is weird haha. Well hopefully they add it soon!

Where do you work/live bud? As of this posting, 811 is still HSN here in Ashburn (Loudoun County) .

I hope they launch here in loudoun Comcast soon! Comcast here is weird as it is segmented unlike Fios which generally covers a DMA. For instance, there is comcast of reston (which has WDVM) and there is loudoun county Comcast (which does not carry it as of yet). Kind of backwards if you ask me as loudoun houses some of the key NOVA demo they are reaching out to...

They launched on their expanded systems on 6/21 so yeah it's still fairly new. Most TV listings I've researched do not reflect the change yet.

I'm in the DC market so I sent an email to the GM and got the attached response. It appears they have Coverage on Fios in all of the DC suburbs and portions of the area on Comcast.

Agreed! I always wondered why they kept passing him up. As someone who has lived in the DC market his entire life, it's a welcome change.
