The league won’t care about nostalgia, longevity and sentiment as long as the check clears from the highest bidder.

No matter how great of a career, there’s no need for people to be anchoring into their 80s (I’m looking at you Chuck). 

John Sterling is 85 and Bob Uecker is 90. Both are still calling games for the Yankees and Brewers, respectively. Age doesn't matter as long as you're capable of doing the job.

WGN is apparently planning something for April 1st at 3:30am.

Looks like the end of ESPN’s tenure with MLB is coming sooner than later.

The digital meteorologists have been laid off (the TV mets are staying).

Overall a solid new look for 6ABC, watching the broadcast right now. And wow, the "Action News" format is very apparent with the new package. The pace of the newscast is notably quicker than the big sister up north. I never fully watched an Action News broadcast before.  But overall, it's a solid product. Glad they kept the music theme too! At this point is KABC the only station now left to get the update? Seems like most of the O&Os have converted now at this point. 

KABC is the last holdout. They don’t even have the new weather graphics yet.

No Greg Gumbel this year as he's tending to health issues within his family.

WPVI hasn’t debuted the new look in full yet, but they debuted their version of the open today. (h/t @24994J)

Does “Shake it Off” mean something to ya?

The number of women in the NFL fanbase has been growing since long before a certain female superstar started dating a certain Chiefs player.

Not to mention there are women on NFL coaching staffs and front offices.

CBS News reporter and streaming anchor Elaine Quijano is anchoring with Doug Williams this Sunday morning. Doug and Craig Allen have been welcoming her all morning, so it appears that she is the new anchor, replacing Andrea Grymes. 

Pulling a Jamie Yuccas.

I wonder if this will lead to a total rebrand of TruTV down the line.
