  1. Hilary Golston is leaving WKYC in Cleveland for WJBK in Detroit. She had been at 'KYC for three years. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/wjbk-hires-new-reporter-from-cleveland/193270
  2. WOIO in Cleveland has hired Neeha Curtis for its morning newscast. She comes from Dallas where she co-hosted EyeOpener based out of KDAF. http://www.cleveland19.com/story/36168315/who-is-the-new-cleveland-19-news-anchor
  3. Scripps buys Bounce, Escape, Laff, and Grit http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/scripps-buys-digital-channels-bounce-grit-escape-and-laff/192629
  4. Here's a commercial from WJW Fox 8 taking shots at Cavs player Kyrie Irving. (Just Google Kyrie's name and you'll what all he's up to.)
  5. Here's the link to Leon Bibb and Lee Jordan's last newscast on WEWS at 6pm last night (Friday, July 28th, 2017)
  6. What would then happen to The List? Also, is WEWS carrying that new talk show Scripps is supposed to air in the fall?
  7. What happens though when Sinclair takes over 8? How would 5 and even 19 do when that happens?
  8. Today starts the week of farewells as Lee Jordan and Leon Bibb are both retiring from WEWS after Friday and next Monday. They will be missed from the station after they step down. Leon I saw plans to continue with his Sunday morning show and do some commentaries.

  9. Shanice Dunning announced on her Facebook page earlier today she's leaving WOIO in Cleveland to "pursue other opportunities."
  10. Kristin Volk is leaving WEWS News 5 Cleveland after tomorrow for a marketing job. http://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2017/07/reporter_kristin_volk_leaving.html#incart_m-rpt-2
  11. http://www.news5cleveland.com/about-us/tv-legends-leon-bibb-and-lee-jordan-announce-plans-to-retire-from-news-5
  12. Leon Bibb is also retiring from WEWS this year as well. He's retiring a few days after Lee Jordan.
  13. A couple of WEWS/Cleveland moves: Corrina Pysa is moving from Good Morning Cleveland to The Now at 4pm as Rob Powers' co-anchor, according to her Facebook page. Danita Harris will continue as 6 and 11pm co-anchor with Powers. Also, Homa Bash is returning to the station according to FTVLive. It is not known what her new role will be.
  14. WEWS is still airing The Now. I wouldn't be surprised if they retool it as "News 5 at Four." Speaking of WEWS, are they picking up that new talk show that Scripps is supposed to be airing?
  15. Tia Ewing and a producer are both out at WOIO/WUAB. There's rumors of an ND change as well. http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2017/6/14/out-the-door-in-cleveland
  16. That's the same Somara who got fired along with Jackie Fernandez from WEWS for that political post on their social media pages back in November. Glad she found a new gig.
  17. WKYC in Cleveland adds Matt Wintz as the station's new weekend evening meteorologist. He comes from WLTZ in Columbus, Georgia. http://wkycdirectorscut.blogspot.com/2017/05/wkyc-adds-meteorologist-matt-wintz-to.html WKYC has also made current reporter Andrew Horansky co-anchor on the Saturday evening newscasts with Hillary Golston. Chris Tye continues to anchor solo on Sunday nights.
  18. Jamie Sullivan has been named co-anchor of the 4:30am newscast on WOIO in Cleveland. She'll be joined by Nichole Vrsansky at the anchor desk. Sullivan will also continue to handle traffic anchor duties for the rest of the morning newscast.
  19. WEWS in Cleveland has hired Katie Ussin as the new co-anchor of "Good Morning Cleveland." She starts in June, and comes from WDTN in Dayton. http://www.cleveland.com/tv-blog/index.ssf/2017/05/channel_5_hires_katie_ussin_as_new_morning_anchor.html#incart_river_index She'll be paired with Terrence Lee, but no word on what Corrina Pysa's role will be after Ussin arrives. Pysa filled in after Jackie Fernandez was let go late last year.
  20. WGCL should've gotten rid of Swann when they had the chance. That has made the station even more of a laughing stock. Plus, that article has mentioned of how planned afternoon/evening coverage was scrapped after the weeknight anchors sent an e-mail.
  21. If Scripps bought WBNS, it would the company a huge hold along I-71 along with WEWS and WCPO.
  22. Scripps is adding a new talk show in most of its TV stations for this fall: http://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/distribution/scripps-launch-kellie-pickler-ben-aaron-talker-fall/165133
  23. Laura DeMaria has announced on her Facebook page that she's left WOIO and WUAB in Cleveland after her husband got relocated to another state. She was supposed to anchor on weekends after returning from maternity leave.
  24. WBNX is actually moving from RF 30 to RF 17 (WKYC, which is currently on RF 17, is shifting to RF 19), so they're not likely to have its transmitter/frequency sold. I think WBNX will survive the latest press for Angley. They must be profitable with the programs they're airing. Speaking of Cleveland, other forums have mentioned that WEWS is replacing Cozi with Grit on 5.2 as WUAB is preparing to potentially (and reportedly) move to 19.2.
  25. Catherine Bosley is returning to WOIO/WUAB in Cleveland. She made the announcement on her Facebook page earlier today.
