Feder says that with Erin's move to evenings, Sarah will move to mornings, and Amy Rutledge will do evening traffic, but not for awhile, as she's giving birth to her twins today.

Hah! Called it.

Andy Lack is a moron.

This is how state TV starts.

Now they need a new traffic anchor in the morning. The bosses at WGN have given Erin an offer she couldn't refuse. She and her hubby will be back on the same shift...

Easy. Sarah Jindra.

Lawrence O'Donnell's future is uncertain

I think letting Lawrence walk would be a huge mistake. Some liberals out there are already whining about MSNBC's shift from liberal commentating to centrist news reporting during daytime. Giving Nicole Wallace a show and letting Lawrence walk won't please MSNBC fans

I really never liked him. He's too far left for me.

A woman doing weather on WGN? What is this, the 21st century?

Change sucks sometimes. But it's good.

I hope she has comedic chops. She's gonna need it on days when Paul is off and she has to do the whole show.

trouble/drama at WGCL

Meredith's complete lack of patience at WGCL is annoying. Just when it seems WGCL is showing some signs of life corporate decides to clean house. It doesn't help that (in my opinion) they are showing way too much news. There is no point for a station dead last in the market to air news a 4,5, and 6; especially when powerhouse WSB has news in those same timeslots. Also not helping things is the fact that WGCL's syndication lineup is garbage. 700 club at 9am; infomercial at 1pm; Inside Edition at 7pm; and Insider (soon to be cancelled) at 7:30pm, that's it. Why they don't move some programming (like Hot Bench and Crime Watch Daily) from WPCH to WGCL is beyond me.

Maybe it's time for CBS to intervene?

Ooh. Me likey.

And here's their new logo. As dull as you can imagine.

 

 

At least that station is showing life. Maybe soon KWTV will start producing a 9:00 newscast for KSBI...er, News 9 Plus. (If it means anything to anyone, sister KOTV up I-44 in Tulsa produces a 9:00 for KQCW.)

They couldn't stay consistent and put the "52" in Goudy type?

Stephanie Ruhle and Ali Velshi could be hosting a weekend business show.

Hugh Hewitt could be getting his own weekend show.

Ok, and there's this, freshly announced on the 5pm news.

 

Pretty soon, drones are going to replace choppers.

Sometimes it gets strange... call me when Mark Giangreco anchors the 5pm leading into world news...

Or Cheryl Scott anchoring the 10pm.

This is why I wish WGN didn't stop simulcasting on WGN America.

This is a first. WGN Morning News swept ABC 7 in total viewers from start to finish.

Ready for WGN News at 6? It's coming next month.

Siafa Lewis is now lead sports anchor.

Aaaaaaaaaand he's suspended.

Mark Giangreco at it again

He deleted that tweet...

Happy birthday Tom Skilling! 65 years old today.

WJW and WPRI are going to get (virtual) seats at the daily White House press briefing. I'm gonna assume that the Skype seats will change daily or weekly.

Any other NBC affils airing "Chi-Town Rising" after NBC's NYE coverage?

 

The only two I saw from the guides are WTMJ & KXAS. COZI is also simulcasting as well.

At the top of the show, they mentioned Dallas (KXAS), Memphis (WMC), Minnesota (KARE), and Milwaukee (WTMJ)

So Dan and Lourdes are hosting the Thanksgiving Parade this year... interesting choice. I think they'll be better than Mark and Micah, who aren't really cut out for this kind of thing. Still think Robin and Paul were the best parade team.

Dan and Lourdes are the Morning News' B-team. And I really didn't like the Mark-Micah team for the parade, either.

KOTV runs CBS This Morning on an hour delay from 8-10am, like WFMY. But they also have a 4.5 hour morning show, like WWL. They air the 8am hour of their morning show on KQCW.
