They’ve said they’re keeping Kelly and Mark, so that must be what will fill the 11a hour. From 1-3p, the story on the Local 10 website mentions today’s announcement is only the first phase of their expansion, so I wouldn’t be surprised if a lifestyle show is on the way. Other options for that time period include 48 Hours, which they already have airing currently in an overnight slot. InvestigateTV+ isn’t airing in Miami, so that’s a possibility too. They don’t carry Daytime Jeopardy, right? That could be a candidate for prime time. There’s also the new Deborah Norville game show if someone else in the market hasn’t snagged it. It would be hilarious though if they stole Family Feud and aired it for the full two hours between 7p and 9p like everyone here has been joking about.

I assume CBS 47 is the winner at noon because … Price Is Right. Are they also the winner at 11p?

Is there any syndication that isn’t currently airing in Miami? WPLG only has Kelly & Mark, Wheel, Jeopardy and 48 Hours. Yes, they’ll add a lot of news — like 7-9a and in primetime — but they are going to need to make several pickups to fill in the holes. (Hopefully no crappy Byron Allen court shows!)

Same company did the NBC 5/Telemundo 39 project a few years back too.

Joining the growing list of stations with their chief on air in the mornings …

Ever since Emily Barr left, the new leadership seems determined to torch these stations. KSAT was absolutely obliterated by the buyouts. Now the local media reporter is claiming KPRC parted ways with its morning traffic anchor … and doesn’t plan to replace her?!? How do you do news in Houston and not have a morning traffic anchor and be taken seriously? (Again, assuming the report is right …) And don’t get me started on that horrid set KPRC installed that was overseen by the ND who left just a few months after it debuted.

ARC has expanded to Beaumont too. 8am and 10am on KBTV. Weird to be have an hour-long gap, but they pull in “Daytime” from sister station KABB in San Antonio live during the 9am hour.

Looks like they tacked on a 4-430am newscast, too. Or has that been around for a bit? Bringing the 3pm back only for elections is ridiculous. Make a decision … are you going syndie or are you going local? Also … WSB is airing Judy Justice at 1 in the morning?!? No one else in the market wanted to pick that up? What a waste.

Wow! Didn’t see this one coming: KPRC/Houston is canceling its 10a newscast after less than a year. The Drew Barrymore Show, which has been airing at 3a on Nexstar’s KIAH, takes over the KPRC 10a slot as soon as the Olympics end in 2-ish weeks. https://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2024/07/kprc-2-replaces-10am-news-with-drew.html?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR1jyb61wnrmGLopO8_mw9g9zM_nnKc9uVcjIlj7866SHhG8KU_xCoNBsuc_aem_4uxUJF846hSOEl9FEtULQg

Nexstar owns KXAN and WGN, where there‘s now an opening for another meteorologist since Tom left and Demetrius got bumped to nights from the midday shift. Maybe there?

Their story says he’s going somewhere with “very different weather,” which would seem to indicate a station in the Northeast.

Shocked they’re being her back. That was a high-profile, well-covered DWI with shocking video. Stations have dumped talent arrested for DWIs far less severe.

“The Cube” (angled video wall) and the 9-monitor array next to it are both recycled from the last set. This was done on the cheap.

COMPLETELY underwhelmed. This took 2.5 months? Did Graham do this in house? The 10a show has a unique format and is heavy on in-studio interviews so I assume we will see an interview set in the morning.
