Late-reporting this but in Pittsburgh. WTAE promoted Brittany Hoke to weekend evening anchor and has hired Alex Alecci as their new weekend meteorologist.

They started this past weekend.

Dateline: Pittsburgh

Meteorologist Ray Petelin, who was let go from Hearst's WTAE last month popped up as a fill-in on CBS's KDKA-TV Friday evening. He was given a warm introduction by Stacy Smith at 4pm.

WTAE weekend anchor Jackie Cain is heading to KSTP-TV in Minneapolis-St. Paul.

Marcinkiewicz looks like a lost school girl in some dark Kansas City alley.

She was shaking her head a lot there. She's been here in Pittsburgh for close to two decades now. She seems better suited as a beat reporter.

And speaking of Pittsburgh, KDKA has a mean history of pulling off any videos related to them on YouTube, so I’ll have to be wary of that...

Be careful. I re-posted my KDKA videos last year under my brother's account, luckily there still up there for now. I'd love to see some pre-1985 Eyewitness News intros. One promo had a brief glimpse of what appears to be an early 80s/late 70s news open.

Can we split off the international videos into their own Classic Thread?

Seonded! I personally have little to no interest in the foreign-language videos and always scroll past them myself.

Took me a while but here it is - 20 mins worth of Pittsburgh news history!

Great job! I was on that channel yesterday watching the WPXI montage and when I refreshed the page an hour or two later the WTAE montage was up.

News Director out at KDKA-TV. This is the second staff member to leave the station since the July arrival of new vice-president and General Manager Jay Howell.

Probably rare CBS Late Movie Bumper, with a CBS indent.

Former WTAE personality Frank Cappelli has passed.

WHIO does this also

I assume all of the COX stations do it, I first noticed it on WPXI about three weeks ago.

KDKA-TV 2 aircheck from 2/17/88 featuring promos for Pittsburgh2Day, Evening Magazine and two Newsbreaks with Patti Burns.

IMO CBSTM should just go with Gayle and Norah. Add a third anchor at a later if you still feel one is needed. It would also make a statement to not replace Charlie with another male, I would go as far to say that IF they do go for a third anchor it should be another woman.

Keith Jones is the new weekday anchor for NBC 6 News (WTVJ) at 4 pm and 5:30 pm, also lead sports anchor for the news at 11 and Sports Final. He is replacing Adam Kuperstein who now works at WNBC.

I think he was at KDKA-TV in the morning slot here about a decade or so. He might have co-anchored with either Sonni Abatta or Heather Barnett at the time? The name and face seem familiar.

I was watching the world series and it looks like WKBN is changing female anchors again. This time on the morning news, didn't catch the name. They seem to leave abruptly there, and it seems like its only with the male anchors.

KDKA-TV 2's morning traffic reporter Sarah Arbogast has left the station. Celina Pompeani has joined the station as traffic reporter. She is the youngest of evening sports anchor Bob Pompeani's two daughters.

Unfortunately, most of the good classic Pittsburgh stuff on YouTube (mostly KDKA) was posted by one user, stiffkids2006, who was terminated due to multiple copyright strikes at some point in the last year. It's weird, because the vast majority of the videos on that channel were posted years ago, I remember watching videos from that channel in 2007. So I don't know why they got taken down now.

I was the original poster of that material. I have back-ups of the main 'goodies,' such as the news opens. I just re-posted a few of them on my brother's account.
