Unfortunately, WGCL has kept that one female meteorologist who has made the news for all the wrong reasons, including posting a video agreeing with terminations and saying that the revamped morning show was centered around her.

Erin Logan appears to be out at WOIO/WUAB in Cleveland. Her bio is already gone from the WOIO website and Chris Frye was co-anchoring the 5pm and 5:30pm newscasts in what was her spot.

Apparently, WKYC is in third place (even fourth at times) according to this email. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2020/9/15/the-inbox

WOIO just launched a new one-hour 11am newscast on WUAB with Jamie Sullivan anchoring and Jeff Tanchak on weather.

Has WOIO hired a new investigative reporter? I know their last two attempts after Carl Monday's departure (the guy from Florida, the woman from Michigan) didn't pan out too well. Speaking of 19, they brought back Ronnie Duncan, who used to do sports from 1995 to 2001, but as a news reporter.

Is it safe to say that WBNX is doing just fine, maybe even better, as an independent station now that they have acquired a lot of shows from other stations? It looks like they have survived losing the CW affiliation.

I thought WBNS would go after Mark Taylor after he left WCMH to replace Revish. Wouldn't a more familiar face be a better option to join the evening desk as opposed to someone from another market?

(Cross posted from another thread) According to TV Passport, WOIO 19 in Cleveland is launching a new 3pm newscast on September 14. They are also launching a new 11am newscast on WUAB 43.

Laura Caso looks to be out at WKYC after only a few weeks. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2020/4/24/cleveland-anchor-is-m-i-a

BIG NEWS!!! https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2020/3/6/breaking-gary-makes-offer-to-buy-tegna

JUST IN!!! https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2020/3/6/breaking-gary-makes-offer-to-buy-tegna

Michael Estime to leave WKYC around May according to FTVLive. That same article also touched on the station's ratings problems in February:

I won't be surprised if WEWS goes outside of the station to replace Danita for evenings. WKYC is beyond a trainwreck in the mornings (with Dave Chudowsky covering the Indians' spring training, they're having Jay Crawford filling-in on Tuesday morning), but WOIO seems like they are rebounding. They are stabilizing a bit with their current team, and having Jeff Tanchak back on the AM was a smart move. Jamie Sullivan also came back to the station a few years ago in the same spot she used to be in. "19 News" is a HUGE improvement over "Cleveland 19."

Could Mark Johnson end up following Danita to mornings, and switch places with Trent Magill on evenings? I mean, Frank Wiley, who has been filling in on mornings with Trent and Katie Ussin, is currently on evenings.

Angley ended up settling with the accuser. https://www.wkyc.com/article/life/faith/ernest-angley-expastor-settle-lawsuit-alleging-sexual-abuse/95-d37ba277-67fd-47d0-aef5-9b2aaac90e4e

Laura Caso is joining WKYC in Cleveland from WAVY in Norfolk. She will be joining Russ Mitchell on the 6pm newscast, and might pickup some more anchoring duties once Sara Shookman goes on maternity leave.

Terrence Lee is leaving WEWS, and is headed for Chicago. His final newscast on Good Morning Cleveland is February 7.

Here is WKYC's new lineup starting January 13: 11 a.m. – Kelly Clarkson noon – Live on Lakeside 1 p.m. – Days of Our Lives 2 p.m. – Daily Blast Live (x2) 3 p.m. – Dr. Phil 4 p.m. – Ellen 5 p.m. – 3 News at 5 p.m. (aka “What’s New”) Notice that "Lunch Break" is missing.

Betsy Kling has been named co-anchor of WKYC's upcoming 5pm show with Jay Crawford. The new show is slated to start next month.

WKYC announces its new 5pm team, and the show's name: "What's New with Jay Crawford and Betsy Kling" More info here. No word on who else will be part of the broadcast, and what will happen to the current 2-6pm block on 3. As for the title, it reminds of that Linda Ronstadt back in the early 1980's.

(Cross-posted from "The '3' Thread" in Graphics) It appears that the new look, logo, format, and graphics are only working for WKYC at 11pm (a.k.a. "What's Next"). They have cake to prove it! https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2019/12/2/cleveland-cake-wars The 6pm, morning, and Noon programs are not doing as great as they should be. "What Matters Most" is 3rd at 6pm (my guess is WJW is 1st with WEWS at 2nd) "Go!" is tied for 2nd/3rd in the morning (likely with WEWS since WJW is 1st, though WOIO is touting in promos that they are growing in the AM ratings-wise, so they might be taking away WKYC's viewership) "Lunch Break" is 4th at Noon (the other three, including WOIO, are doing better in that slot!) I think the new "3News" is struggling a bit with only the 11pm show a success.

Would anyone say that WBNX is rebounding a year after losing the CW to WUAB?

It's supposed to be live, and it's also carried on social media platforms at the same time. BTW, I used to love the show until this happened: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/daily-blast-white-privilege_n_5b9abfd5e4b0b64a336d12a3 Apparently, they will have clips taken down if it puts their hosts in a bad light.

At least the current graphics package at WOIO are a lot better than the "Cleveland 19" look and any of the "Action News" looks.

I stopped watching Daily Blast Live last season, because I couldn't take any more of the split screen political discussions. It is no longer something I even want to check out again. Speaking of DBL, they are still growing, and have a new co-host. https://www.google.com/amp/s/finance.yahoo.com/amphtml/news/tegna-daily-blast-live-begins-163600162.html
