they've also launched something similar at WXIA called "The late feed"

WSB-TV 2.2 is getting Bounce from WATL .2 http://radiotvtalk.blog.ajc.com/2017/09/19/bounce-tv-moving-from-watl-36-2-to-wsb-2-2/

It's not unusual for WGCL to be number 2 or 3 at 11pm because of CBS's primetime lead in. Everything else though......yeah they're dead last.

yep. it aired tonight after the football game. Don't know when it premiered exactly.

what a waste of money

Tegna continues to ruin their stations. The KXTV/WTSP disease spreads to Atlanta where they are ditching the traditional 11pm news at WXIA and replace it with “The Late Feed w/ Vinnie Politan.” http://radiotvtalk.blog.ajc.com/201...ed-program-starring-vinnie-politan-august-28/

WGCL and WUVG announces news gathering partnership http://radiotvtalk.blog.ajc.com/2017/08/31/cbs46-in-newsgathering-partnership-with-univision/

some inside NBC are worried about Megyn getting the daytime slot http://www.thedailybeast.com/nbc-insiders-total-panic-over-megyn-kellys-morning-show

KBMT sent a single MMJ out to the field to cover Hurricane Harvey buy herself http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2017/8/28/taking-tegna-to-task

Any idea where this KUQI news/weather update is produced out of? It can't possibly be in house http://fox38corpuschristi.com/news/newsbriefs/citizens-on-high-alert-as-harvey-approaches

I didn't picture Wiegel Broadcasting buying ANYTHING. This is more surprising than Morgan Murphy Media buying the Saga stations

can someone please tell me how to make these maps? I can't figure out how to use that site

What I still don't understand is why Sinclair looks at successful stations like KUTV and WKRC and say "you keep doing what you're doing, we won't mess with you and we'll even give you special graphics". Then they look at other successful stations like KOMO and WJLA and say "we are going to meddle with your operations as much as possible, slash your budget, fire all of the people that made the station successful, fire the popular anchors, and give you the same cheap graphics everyone else gets"

sounds like WOIO's ND could get fired https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2017/7/25/changes-in-cleveland

I highly doubt that Sinclair will pick up either Hannity or O'Reilly. These guys have egos the size of Jupiter and will demand a salary to match that ego. There is no way Sinclair's penny pinching bosses will shell out that kind of money for these two. They'll just turn WGN America into a rerun heavy channel with programming acquired on the cheap.

it's official. WGCL has hired Steve Doerr to be their new news director. http://radiotvtalk.blog.ajc.com/2017/07/13/cbs46-hires-steve-doerr-its-seventh-news-director-in-10-years/

WDCA will premier a new 8pm newscasts from sister station WTTG http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2017/7/12/taking-on-news-in-dc

Megyn Kelly's 9am morning show will have a live studio audience http://www.politico.com/blogs/on-media/2017/07/11/megyn-kelly-morning-show-live-audience-240397

someone paired Fox News audio with North Korean state TV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YV4CoJQMGZs

can Gray even own WFXU outright? Will it have to be converted to a low power station (like WAGT) in order to legally own it?

Who could have possibly predicted that a 4th rate station in market 125 dropping a major network affiliation over "moral grounds" could lead to bankruptcy

Greta says she is still willing to work http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/greta-van-susteren-is-not-ready-leave-tv-1019105

why is comcast dropping them in PA?

I think Jake Tapper would be a good hire. I always thought that he should have gotten the "this week" job at ABC. However I do wonder if Taper's tenure at CNN has damaged him somewhat because of his tendency to troll/call out the Trump administration.

Some updates from WGCL. They have fired their chief meteorologist Jim Kosek http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2017/6/25/atlanta-weatherman-bounced they have also fired a Managing Editor, Producer, and operations manager http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2017/6/23/more-sacked-at-troubled-meredith-station rumor is that current anchor Sharron Reid is pushing management to hire former WOIO News Director Doerr to be the new News Director at WGCL. Doerr, along with GM Bill Applegate, helped transform WOIO into a competitor in Cleveland (only for Raycom to dismantle everything for no real reason). Doerr and Reid have a history, Reid worked at WOIO under Doerr and he encouraged her to take part in a nude photo shoot for a story. http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2017/6/28/someone-knocking-at-the-doerr-in-atlanta
