Isn’t NBC News Daily live from noon to 4 Eastern? If so, the 3p hour they’ll be airing should be live instead of a repeat. Repeating a 3-hour-old newscast in the middle of the day seems a bit … risky, especially for an O&O in such a large market.

And what about overnights? They re-air Access, Access Live and Kelly. More Dateline?

Looks (and sounds) super cheap

It’s election time … and that means WSB is bringing back the 3p news to cram in as many ads as possible, starting Monday. With Kelly Clarkson ending, perhaps it’ll stick around this time.

An attempt to disparage him

Painful. The ticker telling people “You are watching WISH-TV Indianapolis” is laughable. If you’re gonna fire everyone, just simulcast.

Things are starting to get lean (read: interesting) in Austin already. The KVUE (ex Tegna) weather team will be down to just 2 people (weekday morning and weekday evening) at the end of next week. One met (weekend evening) left last month for WUSA, now another (weekend morning) is leaving and doesn’t appear to have anything lined up just yet. Neither job is posted. (They do still have — for now at least — a morning reporter who is working on her met degree.) Are they going to lean on their new sister station KXAN, which is already down a met after a recent retirement (they still have 4 though, plus occasional fill-in Jim Spencer) or maybe the Nexstar weather center out of Dallas? Curious if this is the start of an on-air KVUE/KXAN consolidation. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0T8A5PKFejGsSfLWtdQ4re4DyoEF6pModbG1uJvGqp5HqwVhd1UrnzDbyBbGHtSNZl&id=100063664986586

An insane amount of technical errors. On the debut day, they were in the middle of a live report on a fire that killed 3 kids and the automation dumped them out into a 3-minute commercial break at 4:03p … right after the show had just started. They came back, apologized, and had to start all over again. Double boxes randomly showed up during a weather hit (the news anchor was looking down and had no clue he was on camera), no audio off the top of the newscast, going to black for 30ish seconds, reporters who clearly don’t know they’re live on air (one guy was chit-chatting with a state trooper passing him in a parking lot as he was being introduced and the anchor had to introduce him a second time to get his attention), etc. They’re using an extremely condensed version of the new open that seems unnecessarily rushed and they are also alternating the same three transitions/wipes over and over and over again before each story. It has just been really, really bad quality from a station that has never had widespread issues like this before.

KVUE/Austin debuted them today. It’s been *very* rough.

So is Micah gonna go solo in the evenings? Or does Ben get moved to anchor with her? Weekend mornings I assume will now be solo, too. Weekend evening weather will be … per diem?

Not quite sure what it is, but the WFAA doesn’t “work” for me. I don’t think it fits the station’s long-standing image.

That looks like WFTV’s (Orlando) 9 logo

KPRC/Houston plucks the main anchor from its San Antonio sister station, KSAT: Stephania Jimenez https://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2025/12/stephania-jimenez-joins-kprc-2-from.html

Sure sounds like they might be buyouts, timing-wise
