I'm surprised that Amy Freeze didn't go back to local TV stations once she left FOX Weather last year.

Chris & Jacqui would be good hires for FOX Weather I don't know if they want to move to NYC may have family in the ATL so I don't blame them if they don't sign with FOX Weather.

I saw the anchorless newscast on Fri at 6:30PM Opening Day for the White Caps the morning team trying the new food items that look nasty and gross but I'm a picky eater. I don't really like the anchorless newscast they did have an update to a news story which was national before the weather. And WXMI FOX17 cut the 5AM newscast on the weekends now Cirictlee movie review show at 5AM and The Pulse a political show from sister TV station WXYZ SAT & Sun.

I thought that Deborah was leaving Inside Edition as she is hosting the game show when that got cleared a couple of weeks ago. Plus, Deborah has been taking a lot of breaks these past few years as well she had a great run at Inside Edition which no one will match that 30 years as host of Inside Edition in my opinion.

All the best Chris Warren in the next chapter.

WWMT when the nasty weather hit Sunday used ARC-WMI for the nonstop weather coverage since MSU was playing Auburn when the storms were about to flare up. Didn't want to deal with upset MSU fans I wonder if MSU wasn't playing if they would've cut in for the storm coverage, they did a cut in before the 2ND half was about to begin. All my years never seen a weather met call hub when the cut in was over on all the local TV stations in West Michigan. Interesting that happened in NC a couple of weeks ago shouldn't Charlotte be master control since that is a big city why call Indy for that.

I remember those days as well since I grew up in the 80s & 90s watching Star Search WXMI FOX17 on Sun at 4PM and some syndication sitcoms I was into as well. And not many put on movies like they once did in the 80s to early 2000s other than maybe one movie a week WXSP Sat afternoon 1PM to 3PM & the same movie repeated on sister station WOTV on Late SAT/Early SUN. That is wrong that some TV stations just air paid programming in blocks during the weekdays I get maybe an hour at most it shouldn't be 2+ hours of paid programming. Or split it up like the new CW does M-F 6AM to 7AM, 12PM to 1PM, & 3AM to 4AM that I have no problem with. Not surprised that WPLG is going with a lot of news since Miami is a pretty big market to do the all news for most of the day and as many stations across the country say news on your time, meaning that you shouldn't be watching all the newscast which will be rehashed and maybe an update every so often.

Not surprised that COX Media will be sold as Apollo ran it into the ground. I think that Nexstar buys the COX TV stations since they only have to sell just couple of TV stations in the same market and maybe sell the radio or as someone else said group B gets the radio stations in this thread.

Not surprised that The Flip Side got renewed since CBSM had another game show The Perfect Line for the fall which will be paired with The Flip side on CBS O&Os indie stations. I think that Billy Bush will remain host of Extra in my opinion unless he doesn't want to be host anymore. As I said that it be one & done for True Crime News once JHud got renewed for a season 4.

I didn't see WPLG losing ABC to WSVN I guess ABC or Scripps didn't want ABC on WSFL which would have to build a newsroom from the bottom up and their woes as a hole at Scripps HQ. WSVN was ABC's better choice in Miami in my opinion on a subchannel, and maybe FOX moves in Miami when the deal comes up with WSVN in the next few years maybe FOX buys WPLG or stays with WSVN.

100 Days To Indy moves from The CW to FOX Nation for season 3, since FOX has the Indy Car rights makes sense they get the doc 100 Days To Indy.

I feel sorry for those that lost their jobs at WXMI FOX17 and the sports department, I know Remi Monaghan left the business in Feb on her own terms good for her as she knew that she wasn't going to be renewed or saw the writing on the wall. I see Scripps on the market and selling their TV stations shouldn't have bought ION in my opinion. And I wonder if Scripps hands in the FOX license for WXMI FOX17 I doubt it but it's a slim chance it happens.

I wonder if Flint will be the next to get the weather from The Weather Channel. Yup, was always Byron Allen's plan to do it he didn't care that he'd get flack for this move all in the name to cut cost. But that has always been the Byron Allen way being cheap.

I'll always be weather aware on those days if serve weather is in the forecast when it's level 2 or above I kinda freak when it hits orange a couple days out why I just don't read ACCUWeather on those days and only the local TV stations weather mets I'll listen to. As ACCUWeather puts fear into those types of articles I'll read them sometimes if Michigan isn't in a risk area thou.

Better name than TBD never liked that name for a diginet in my opinion. Anything was going to be a better name than TBD thou.
