Per his own Twitter account: Reporter Noel Brennan from KUSA & KTVD is moving on to Chicago to join WBBM-CBS2. His last day at the Denver duopoly is next Wednesday November 23.

Has mission broadcasting reached a deal with DirecTV?

KFQX was shut off at 4:03PM this afternoon. I'll be curious to see how long this lasts, what's odd with KFQX is there is nothing mentioning the dropping of FOX4 at Westernslopenow.com

AWESOME!!!!!! THANKS FOR THE LINK!!!

Hmmm, Maybe providers can replace it with Weather Nation TV, who doesn't seem to have as big of a national foot print.

KUSA doesn't brand it's cut in's any differently than a regular newscast normal graphics too. (they haven't had an announcer in quite some time open a newscast *2 years*)

At 1:22 & 1:52 PM KUSA cut in with an update. These news updates were 5mins each, typically a "TODAY SHOW" news update is around 2:30 mins. I wasn't expecting a local news update to be honest. I'm curious are other stations doing local news cut ins?

NewsNation is pathetic when it comes to breaking news, hell Thursday, "NewsNet" & One America News were both covering the news out of the UK regarding the Queen. At this point it's fair to say News Nation is simply a pass through news network focused on only domestic news and a poor one at that. NO ONE I know watches News Nation, no one I know has ever heard of News Nation.

KDVR & KWGN have been loosing a lot of folks the past few months. And from what I can tell they currently have 7 on-air positions open right now all for the FOX Side of the operation-KDVR/KFCT. They also have 9 technical slots open (Photographer, Master Control, ect for KWGN & KDVR/KFCT). I have been following all of the departures on my blog over the past several months.

News Nation, behind on the news!!! Saw this gem today : The Atlantic Hurricane season started June 1st. There weather department may want to go check in with the folks over at Weather Nation, so they know what's happening in the tropics.

Interesting move! Here in Denver KUSA will time shift the new news program to 2PM Day's Of Our Live's current time shifted slot. I'm sure it's so they don't have to mess with Daily Blast Live.

So basically News Nation is the reject news channel? Interesting approach. And so much for "NO OPINION, JUST NEWS" programing.

I have only seen dark mode for mobile, not the full site.

I haven't seen that. The two here in Colorado don't have that. (9NEWS.COM & MY20DENVER.COM)

KDVR/KFCT & KWGN have been loosing a lot of folks in the past month or so.

Well, it will be interesting to see how they utilize the truck during May when severe Weather starts happening more. But at what point do these vehicles become too much of a distraction from actually Forecasting and watching severe weather??

What issues do KDVR & KWGN have?? Their ratings seem to be okay, esp KDVR..

Last night with the Russia Ukraine blowup, it felt like they were not prepared to cover it. There was a period after the president had finished talking where they went to commercial and took there time coming back from the break at least 5 mins.

TWC has so far had great coverage of the winter storm back east. Even if they are still using there stupid naming system.

FOX Weather has been okay so far during the blizzard back east this weekend, however I think TWC has been doing a lot more in-depth coverage.

I think a big problem that the TODAY show has is that Comcast doesn't seem to have the same handle on what's going on day to day with the show. I think when GE owned NBC, NBC NEWS was a much much better run organization.

They may have, but it was still on the cable system guide & in the Denver Post guide through this past Friday.

KWGN has dropped it's 11PM Newscast as of Friday October 8, 2021.

It's going to be interesting to see just how well this new streaming service does, or if it's gone after a year or so. It would be cool to see a side by side comparison of FOX Weather with The Weather Channel, Weather Nation TV & AccuWeather. It's good that they are being overseen by the news department, that should give it some credibility.
