WOIO's GM will be resigning at the end of the month. http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/8/15/cleveland-gm-out I guess the rebrand to Cleveland 19 didn't go so well

WTLV aired a commercial that contained the EAS alert tone. Look for big fines in the future http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/8/9/what-the-hell-was-this-tegna-station-thinking

FCC is investigating whether or not KUTV aired paid content without disclosing it to viewers http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/8/9/fcc-looking-into-sinclair-stations-antics

KCCI reporter Emmy Victor is leaving the station, saying the racism she experienced in the state helped contribute to her leaving http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/2016/08/01/departing-kcci-reporter-racism-state-did-not-help-my-decision-stay/87908168/

I guess we'll start having commentaries about how snow proves global warming doesn't exist

Jon Ralston, former host of Ralston Reports on KSNV/KRNV and former host of Ralston Live on PBS stations KNPB/KLVX has joined KTNV as a political commentator http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/jon-ralston-joins-ktnv-as-political-analyst/174616

former WGCL meteorologist Markina Brown is now at KCBS http://radiotvtalk.blog.ajc.com/2016/07/17/former-cbs46-meteorologist-markina-brown-lands-new-job/

WGCL producer fired over racist rants about Black Lives Matter on Facebook http://radiotvtalk.blog.ajc.com/2016/07/12/cbs46-producer-fired-over-racist-rants-about-black-lives-matter-on-facebook/

dammit. It's fixed now

WJCL has a new web layout. Possible new look for Hearst stations ? http://www.wjcl.com/

WMAZ has uploaded to their website the 1994 special report regarding the flooding in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Alberto http://www.13wmaz.com/news/local/flood-of-94-22-years-later/265180887

A WTXF intern was injured in the Orlando shooting http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/wtfx-intern-recovering-after-being-injured-in-orlando-nightclub-attack/172454

Former WAGA anchor Amanda Davis was on WGCL last night talking about her DUI's http://www.cbs46.com/clip/12444985/amanda-davis-answers-questions-about-her-dui-crash This is the first time Davis has been on TV since her forced retirement from Fox5 after a DUI. WGCL hired her last year as part of their "just a minute" commentary, where longtime Atlanta reporters give their thoughts on the news of day. Before she could start she was arrested for another DUI. I can't help but think her being on WGCL now is part of a May Sweeps ratings stunt.

Joy Reid will take over Melissa Harris-Perry's weekend timeslot http://deadline.com/2016/04/melissa-harris-perry-replacement-joy-reid-msnbc-1201746808/

Story in the Sun-Sentinel about Scott Chapin returning to WSVN http://www.sun-sentinel.com/features/fl-wsvn-voice-scott-chapin-20160503-story.html

Case of Sinclair being cheap again?

Michael is leaving 'Live' four months early. His last day will be May 13 http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/strahan-leave-live-4-months-early-goodbye-13-article-1.2614966

Alex Wagner is leaving MSNBC to join The Atlantic http://www.politico.com/blogs/on-media/2016/04/alex-wagner-leaves-msnbc-for-the-atlantic-222442

People are playing armchair CEO again

KARE buyouts http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/4/14/twin-cities-station-losing-staff-to-tenga-buyouts WCNC and KSDK buyouts http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/more-tegna-buyouts-in-st-louis-and-charlotte/168687 (sorry if these were mentioned before )

Talk about corporate spin

WXIA buyouts have been confirmed: Keith Whitney, Kevin Rowson and Donna Lowry. http://radiotvtalk.blog.ajc.com/2016/04/12/11alive-buyouts-confirmed-keith-whitney-kevin-rowson-donna-lowry/

In terms of their big 4 stations here is the situation: Their Montana ABC/Fox duopoly (KSVI/KHMT) doesn't, WNTZ doesn't, WWTI in Watertown, NY doesn't either but that's more of a satellite of WSYR, for the moment KWKT doesn't have a news department but they will launch one later this year, and WLAX / WEUX don't. Obviously this doesn't count standalone CW stations.

Sinclair's Wisconsin stations were ordered to air an extended 25 minute Trump interview with Sharyl Atkisson during their Sunday newscasts. I guess we now know which candidate Sinclair execs like the most http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/4/4/sinclair-turns-stations-over-to-trump

Pretty much http://www.rocketcitynow.com/news/wzdx-tv-primetime-newscast-adds-team-local-journalists
