WGCL made announcement on their website https://www.cbs46.com/2022/08/31/atlanta-news-first-coming-north-georgia/ I like how they claim they are the only locally owned station in the market (throwing shade at wsb and Cox)

Sound like Lisa pushed back against Bell executives about news budgets and editorial control https://www.canadaland.com/bell-executive-who-fired-lisa-laflamme-interfered-with-ctv-news-coverage-says-colleague/

This was clearly Bell being cheap and not wanting to keep paying her - absolutely stupid move. Shame on Bell

WXIA’s Chief investigator Brendan Keefe has left the station to be the Chief investigator for WGCL. Non compete will keep him off Wgcl until April

Rachel Aragon has left WBFF to join WGCL

seems like a waste of time and money to put a temp studio across town for just a week. this is obvious Gray trying to promote their new facility at assembly

Wtvc was unable to air morning news due to widespread Covid outbreak

You were right. New anchor at Fox29 WXIA's lifestyle show was 1.5 hours for awhile

I do NOT like the name - it sounds like one of the Nexstar portal websites from a decade ago.

Brian Williams is a free agent if CNN wants him as a replacement for Cuomo

Seems widespread https://therecord.media/sinclair-tv-stations-disrupted-across-the-us-in-apparent-ransomware-attack/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

It's official WZDX and WATN have switched. Interestingly they retain their Nexstar web domains. localmemphis.com and rocketcitynow.com

Spurs open is the exact same as the Heat open. Again giving more credence to my suspicion that this is going to be the generic open for all sports coverage regardless of team and sport

There's also nothing special about the graphics tied to either the team or the sport. There is nothing in the open showing the Heat logo and you see the words "baseball", "hockey", and "basketball" displayed; along with things like a baseball diamond, a basketball court, and a what appears to be hockey rink faceoff circles.......this leads me to suspect that this is the generic open and theme to be used for all teams and sports. Which, if correct, is a major downgrade from the NBA, MLB, and NHL themes FSN used and also much blander than the custom team opens that FSN used as well

Robin Reed celebrates 40 years at WDBJ https://www.wdbj7.com/2021/03/13/robin-reed-honored-with-day-in-roanoke-as-he-starts-40th-year-at-wdbj7/

sad day for news in the state of Alaska. KTVA's new operation is top notch and produces a product that quite frankly puts the news operations of some stations in much larger markets to shame. You have to wonder why GCI decided to sell. They basically have a monopoly on cable TV and internet service in the state and in theory had the pockets to make the station profitable......if they couldn't return a profit on the station what is the state of commercial TV in this country? Local TV news might be looking at a similar situation that newspapers are facing.

where does the newscast originate ?

Kinda weird to be leaving a powerhouse like WSB for spectrum news.

Ad agencies drink too much of their own kool aid.

Whenever I watch cbs46 (which isn't that often) I have to ask myself: "who are these people"? The turnover at the station is ridiculous. Meredith never gives the station management or talent time to implement a new strategy and let it grow. It's a constant cycle of rebrands and talent/management turnover. After years of Gannett/Tegna mismanaging WXIA, WGCL should be in a place to compete. But instead Meredith's impatience has led to no real significant gains in the ratings.

I'm stunned that they kept the music.

WALB has been Gray-ified

the graphics in action I don't like the "comment box" at all in the open It's placement is random. I also don't like the use of the comment box during the newscast either. A simple white rectangle would have been fine. I also don't like the font they are using overall this package is a good starting point. hopefully they can make some improvements before it's wider rollout

Dish is in another dispute, this time with NBC Sports Chicago (no other NBC RSN are affected at this time)

WJAX is in a dispute with Dish https://www.actionnewsjax.com/news/attention-wjax-dish-satellite-subscribers/953052585
