Drew Barrymore bowed to pressure, and is pausing production of her talk show until the strike ends.

A trademark has been filed for the Rockets and Astros’ new RSN: Space City Home Network.

Okay. The ABC talk is in the Speculatron.

It just got real now.

Pictionary aired a special episode today that only those in the New York and Philadelphia DMAs saw.

Newcomer Blair Miller will be the new 4, 6, and 11pm co-anchor.

Dani appeared toward the end of the newscast.

It turns out Michaela has been delayed to midseason.

WIS has launched GrayONE.

Was wrong about the new 10am stream being on the main set. It’s back in the newsroom, anchored by Brad solo.

The 7-9am streaming newscast (and presumably the new 10am stream) has moved from the newsroom to the main set and Brad Edwards now has a co-anchor — Audrina Sinclair.

It’s also taken on a much lighter tone compared to the hard news format it previously had.

The WGA isn’t happy that The Drew Barrymore Show is continuing without writers.

Just wondering, is anyone seeing any pushback on early local morning news times?  I've noticed that KXAS has given up on 4:30am starts recently (they're doing 2 runs of Early Today instead, strangely).  I'm not trying to encourage the dreaded list thread, just asking if this might be a trend.

They replaced it with an 8am hour on streaming last month.

Standard open:

On Your Side Tonight:

And WBTV has debuted GrayONE, with the new logo.

A 10am streaming newscast is coming Monday.

For their new 9pm newscast on WBFS, WFOR ditched the channel number/calls box in the bug, just like KCNC.

Rick Folbaum is moving to mornings and noon.

Allen Devlin is replacing him full-time in evenings.

KPYX-specific bug on KPIX’s new primetime newscast.

The new WLNY 8pm newscast debuted tonight. Dick Brennan anchoring. As it was pre-NOW, it’s a half-hour and repeating right after it.

Also, in an interesting move, WLNY will also start simulcasting the 8am hour of CBS Mornings after the CBS News New York 7am streaming simulcast on the 12th.

WRDW is replacing Dr. Phil at 3pm with new local program Mix at 3 and InvestigateTV+.

WAGT is keeping Kelly Clarkson at 3pm.

Turns out WLNY and maybe a few of the existing independents are getting the new “City#” logo as well.

KOMO will take over the CW affiliation in Seattle (presumably on a subchannel).

KSTW’s new logo.

KDAF is picking up the People’s Court rerun package from KTXA and The Big Bang Theory from KDFI September 4th. KTXA has also rejected the Judge Mathis reruns, so no word on where that is going yet (if it even gets rerun at all here).
