Janessa Webb is leaving WEWS for MSNBC and NBC News as mentioned in this tweet.

I got it from WBNX's website from their schedule page. (Go to Monday 7/16) The bold explains the new times for the shows.

WBNX's new lineup starting on July 16th. 6:00am Top 30 6:30am Business First with Angela Miles 7:00am The Verdict with Judge Hatchett 7:30am Justice with Judge Mablean 8:00am Harry 9:00am The Ninety and Nine Club 10:00am The Verdict with Judge Hatchett 10:30am Justice with Judge Mablean 11:00am Judge Faith 11:30am Judge Faith 12:00pm Divorce Court 12:30pm Divorce Court 1:00pm Couples Court with the Cutlers 1:30pm Couples Court with the Cutlers 2:00pm Lauren Lake's Paternity Court 2:30pm Lauren Lake's Paternity Court 3:00pm Dateline 4:00pm Dateline 5:00pm Last Man Standing 5:30pm The Goldbergs 6:00pm Mike and Molly 6:30pm Mike and Molly 7:00pm The Goldbergs 7:30pm Last Man Standing 8:00pm The King of Queens 8:30pm The King of Queens 9:00pm Funny You Should Ask 9:30pm Funny You Should Ask 10:00pm Top 30 10:30pm Pawn Stars 11:00pm Pawn Stars 11:30pm Dish Nation 12:00am The Balancing Act 12:30am Cops 1:00am Killer Mysteries 1:30am Corrupt Crimes 2:00am Cops 2:30am Forensic Files 3:00am King of the Hill 3:30am Rules of Engagement 4:00am Rules of Engagement 4:30am The Balancing Act 5:00am Harry Looks like TV55 is turning to Kevin James, Dateline, and a bunch of comedians to fill the void left by The CW.

WEWS has gotten flack from Newburgh Heights residents (a city in Cleveland, OH) over its handling of its attempt to interview a rape victim. The police chief showed up and questioned them before telling them to leave. Once body cam footage of the situation was posted on the Newburgh Heights Police Department Facebook page, the station got slammed with non-stop hate (no one stood up for the station, though WEWS since apologized). The chief even posted that the station was receiving death threats. Now FTVLive has reported the fallout over the situation. The two news managers responsible for sending the reporter and his crew over to the victim's house have been fired. It is not reported which two managers got the axe, though news director Jeff Harris is leaving for the same gig at WBBM in Chicago.

Dick Feagler (formerly of The Plain Dealer, WKYC, WVIZ, and WEWS) has passed away at age 79. https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/local/cleveland/former-wkyc-anchor-and-cleveland-journalist-dick-feagler-dies/95-569771753

WEWS is getting crap for its approach to attempt to interview a rape victim in Newburgh Heights (a suburb in Cleveland, OH). The video on FTVLive shows the police chief approaching the crew, them telling them to leave. The same police department posted it on its Facebook page, but later deleted it, through angry residents slamming WEWS in reviews remain on the page. This comes as the city is suing the station over its investigation regarding the police and traffic tickets.

WEWS Cleveland news director Jeff Harris is leaving to become the ND at WBBM in Chicago. http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2018/6/25/new-nd-in-windy-city

Does anyone know whether or not Corrina Pysa is still at WEWS? I have not seen her on the station since The Now went into a more national-oriented format, and she has simply disappeared.

WEWS has hired two new sports anchors to fill some holes in the department - Derek Forrest and Jon Doss. Both have already started on air.

WKYC is looking for a new news director. Their current one leaving after May sweeps to produce documentaries according to FTVLive.

WEWS is now down to just one person in the sports department as Marisa Silvas announced on her Twitter she was leaving the station for a new opportunity yet to be announced. Lauren Brill is the only person at the station still on sports.

"Steve" on WEWS is now going up against "Family Feud" - hosted by Steve Harvey - on WOIO. So it's Steve vs. Steve in Cleveland!! Weren't both shows not supposed to air opposite each other?

If The Now continues to sink in Cleveland, would WOIO start beating out WEWS in the late afternoon and early evening slots, plus 11pm?

Could Scripps stations eventually scale The Now to a half-hour if they want to? I do miss the local version on WEWS. (I think this could hurt them more than help them) That being said, The List, The Now, and Picker and Ben I feel have dragged down Scripps stations. They should not have been forced to take in programming that are ultimately not ratings-winners in the long run.

Looks like WOIO is cutting back on one of its leading reporters. http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2018/3/5/cutting-back-monday-in-cleveland

I saw a promo on WEWS in Cleveland saying that "Pickler and Ben" moving to 10am starting on Monday, March 5th. "Steve" (Steve Harvey's latest talk show) is moving to the 3pm slot that "Pickler" had been occupying since September of last year.

WOIO Cleveland 19 and WUAB CLE 43 has hired Ian Rubin as its new news director. He comes from WNEM-TV in Flint, Michigan. http://www.cleveland.com/tv-blog/index.ssf/2018/02/ian_rubin_named_news_director_at_woio_channel_19_and_wuab_channel_43.html#incart_river_index

Bill Martin is scaling back his duties on WJW Fox 8 News. He's going to co-anchor the 5pm newscast only starting March 1st. Lou Maglio is replacing Martin at 10pm. http://fox8.com/2018/02/28/fox-8-and-bill-martin-announce-new-role-for-the-popular-news-anchor/

Here is part two of the story of Angley and the former associate pastor: https://www.ohio.com/akron/news/local/ernest-angley-blasted-his-associate-when-he-left

Now comes another article on Rev. Angley: https://www.ohio.com/akron/news/local/former-pastor-says-angley-abused-him#/ More bad news for Grace Cathedral and WBNX.

Dani Carlson, investigative reporter at WOIO, is taking a job in Cleveland outside of local news at Community Solutions as the director of communications and digital strategy.

I should have clarifyed that when I wrote Action News, I should have asked if WGCL's news would become similar to WOIO when Doerr was running its news department.

Speaking of Doerr, could CBS46 become 46 Action News?
