I completely agree. The current Nexstar FOX package just doesn't fit either of those stations very well, IMO.

Not many changes here in Pittsburgh (you can find all of them here from Rob Owen of TribLIVE), but I'll highlight a few of them. WPXI will have the biggest changes in the market with Judy Justice airing at 3 and 3:30pm, leading in to their 4pm news. WPGH will continue to air Judge Judy at 4 and 4:30pm, so there will be a double dose of Judy in Pittsburgh on two different channels. NBC News Daily moves to 1pm and People Puzzler and Jeopardy! will move to 11 & 11:30am, respectively, replacing Sherri. WPNT has already started airing GMFB Overtime (started on Labor Day) at 10am and will add an airing of The Conners at 5pm. And WPKD (KDKA+) will air The Flip Side at 6 and 6:30pm, replacing reruns of The Neighborhood, which will move to 11 and 11:30pm weeknights. That will make an all game show block from 5 to 8pm with two runs of Family Feud (5 & 7pm) and the aformentioned Flip Side.

Yeah WTAE does have a better news product these days, IMO. WPXI and KDKA are meh. The hires they've made over the last year or so have made a difference (especially the new weekend AM meteorologist and new sports anchor/reporter). KDKA does have a lot of good on-air talent. They're lacking when it comes to their evening anchor lineup though. Yes at some point, they're going to move Mokay back to afternoons at 4pm with Josh Taylor, but from the way it looks, it hasn't happened yet. And to your point, hiring those right out of college doesn't look good. And I agree that the 8pm show does have potential. They just aren't using it to its full potential.

Could be a preview for when Greg officially retires (which I don't expect to happen for at least a couple more years) and Adam takes over his spot. We shall see how he does, but I think he will do well.

Adam Zucker will host the Selection Show on Sunday.

Well with Greg sitting out, I would think that Adam Zucker will host the Selection Show. He's already there, so it only makes sense to have him do it. Still hopefully everything is okay with Greg and his family.

There wasn't any doubt from me. I knew it wasn't going anywhere. I was just curious how they were going to make the opens work with it. And it didn't turn out too bad.

Well at least now we know how they'll make the open work with MCTYW lol. And it looks good.

And per TVPassport, it looks like at least tonight's Cavs game will also air in Pittsburgh on WPKD channel 19 (aka KDKA+).

I personally don't have a problem with The Talk. It's a fine show, and IMO, it's much better than its competitor The View. I don't see why there's so much hate for it. But in terms of CBS possibly launching a new soap opera, it's not a good idea. At least in my opinion. And if they are, they should take a page out of NBC's book and stream it on Paramount+. That doesn't sound terrible. Let the affiliates keep their hour or two, axe The Talk and expand B&B to an hour.

That's certainly possible. I think this is a very good thing for truTV. It makes the network worth watching, instead of it being just the network of Impractical Jokers reruns (and new episodes once a week, and those are moving to TBS in April).

If it airs on KDKA+, it'd have to air after the 2 hours of morning news from 7-9am because I'm not sure if they'd be willing to just push that aside for GMFB.

Well it's already a good team (at least IMO) but it'll be made even better if Matt is joining.

I mean I know Chuck is up there in age, but it doesn't seem like he has any intention of slowing down or stepping away. I'm assuming it's a replacement for Kelly Greene. I remember Matt from his time at WKYC. He's a good meteorologist. If it is WTHR that he's going to, they're getting a good one.

So now both satellite providers do not have the Cox-owned stations on their systems. And I don't expect a quick resolution to this because the dispute with Dish has been happening for well over a year now.
