Exactly, but the problem was that Scripps didn't give them the option when they should have

So only the former Journal stations getting the 30 minute version of "The Now"? What happened to the rest of the former Journal stations? At least WTMJ/WGBA did a great job when it comes to the graphics Also I don't think KTNV will ever get "The Now" and if they did it'll only last a few months before "The Now" goes nationwide

What kind of people Scripps is hiring for the national version of "The Now"?

Promo for Geraldo seen on then-KTVY (now known as KFOR) in 1990

Those stations should have been given the option to turn it down because even the stations themselves knew that these shows wasn't going to ratings winners in the first place, I think Scripps gave the stations no choice but to air those shows and it damaged their overall ratings for their local newscasts

That's so sad, may he rest in peace and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family

Pickler and Ben needs to go to CMT only then if that's the case

And the same can be said about Pickler and Ben because despite getting renewed for a 2nd season, it's getting low ratings (with the exception of Nashville where the show originates from)

I think Cox either realized that Fox was going to buy up Fox stations and they were probably looking at buying back WFXT or they're about to cash out on it's properties (radio, papers and broadcasting) this can be discussed in the Speculation thread. Anyways, it looks like that Telemundo's WWIS is adding a 6am and a 12pm newscast which is set to debut on Monday, April 2nd http://www.tvnewscheck.com/article/111898/telemundos-wwsi-adding-two-newscasts

Sounds like KTTV must've brought Scott Chapin back (they've been using Beau Weaver for the last few years as the stations announcer)
