KEYC has brought back local morning news to the Mankato MN area as KATO Mornings after 7 months of KTTC doing it however KTTC will still be providing noon newscasts for both Mankato and Rochester.

Wcbi’s Chief Meteorologist Issac Williams is leaving and heading to WANF.

Update they have named McKenna King as their new Chief Meteorologist.

I was told by the assistant news director at KJRH back in April that Scripps was working on a new graphics package and looks like Tampa Bay is the first to get it.

That too (which is still stupid of AMG to do.)

Nothing new they want people on their paid streaming to watch all the weather coverage it’s such BS but welcome to today’s media.

Meteorologist Colton Williams is heading north. As I previously mentioned he left KTUL at the end of April and was helping KJRH and still is until the end of the month, then he will be heading up I-35 to Wichita and joining the KAKE First Alert weather team and will start in June doing the 4pm newscasts Monday through Friday.

New set and building is fully live. And good news they didn’t from the FOX from the logo.

Well they already said if anything breaks severe weather wise while flipping everything over to the new building they are ready to go.

Bad news KWTV’s Bob Mills SkyNews 9 a new Bell 505 has been totaled in an accident this evening while landing at Wiley Post Airport. Both pilot Jim Gardner and photographer Tim Young walked away with some non serious injuries, the 505 replaced the 407 that was totaled in 2023 hail storm in Pauls Valley Oklahoma and this comes on the same week that KOTV debuted the 505 Osage SkyNews 6. Photos of the helicopter before and after the crash.

I like it better than the Plan on it they were using.

Update on TJ Eckert he is joining KJRH starting Monday as senior reporter/anchor and will be anchoring the 6:00/6:30 Extra Edition newscasts with Naomi Keitt.

Couple of departures from KTUL/KOKH. Yesterday was sports Director TJ Eckert’s last day after 7 years at KTUL. Tonight is Meteorologist Colton Williams last day at both stations. Both are planning to stay in green county but haven’t announce their plans. Well I should say TJ said he will announce later on down the road Colton isn’t for sure as to his next plans but is planning on doing social media weather updates still.

Apologies for bumping this but is there any word on how much longer it will be before they officially move and start broadcasting from the new building?

Add Griffin Media’s KOTV and KWTV to the list with them in an agreement with Gray Media. The 10 games (still being finalized as to which games) will air on NewsOn6Now which is their 24/7 news rebroadcast channel over the air and Cox Cable 53. While OKC will be on KSBI 52.
