Sorry, this article is paywalled; I can't access it either. However, it says that CBS3 and the CW57's general manager Brandin Stewart is leaving after being with the station since 2019. The station and its newscast definitely improved under his leadership, and I hope it continues after he departs. 

I wonder if they're going with co-anchors on weekend mornings to replace Stephania Jimenez. Frances Wang and Johnny Archer were both hired as anchors; Wang specifically as a weekend anchor.

Meteorologist Matt Peterson announced that today would be his last day at CBS3.  He's getting out of TV weather, but will remain in the area.

He is on tonight, in for Lauren Casey.

Glad to see her back. During the time she was gone they had Jim and Janelle reading the traffic reports.

That article includes a quote from executive vice president of sales for CBS Media Ventures, which seems to imply the show will be airing all across the country. It also says it will air on all Fox stations but I don't know how true that is (they probably meant O&O's).

Yikes. You never see that show on a Big Three station.

Action News has a new reporter, Bryanna Gallagher. Rick just welcomed her during the 4p show. She comes to 6abc from WPMT, Fox 43 in Harrisburg.

WTXF is currently re-airing the 9a hour of their morning show, Good Day Philadelphia. Mike Jerrick just explained why at the start of the broadcast.

According to this article, Fox 29 is removing The Dr. Oz Show from the schedule. I think this could be a potential new schedule:

12p - Nick Cannon

1p - 25 Words or Less (x2)

2p - TMZ Live

3p - Judge Judy (x4)

They could also do this but only air Judge Judy for an hour at 3p and debut a 4p newscast. But this is probably the easier way.

I checked WTXF's article on this, and this message was at the bottom:

FOX 29 will no longer be able to air the show because of his candidacy.

I don't think stations in Pennsylvania will carry him anymore, at the very least (if he ends up winning).

Are you trying to imply that MCTYW is weird? You're on thin ice... xD

Personally, I'm a much bigger fan of Jeopardy!, but, still, Wheel shouldn't be preempted and have such strict rules. I don't see how it's good for CBS. 

I cannot think of one single good reason for CBS MV not letting Wheel air earlier. Nobody is going to want to watch it after Corden, and, if you don't have cable, you can't watch that episode at all (because you can't record it on your DVR). 

I like that. Would make a good transition for teases.

A couple hours ago Kate Bilo posted on her Instagram story that she tested positive two weeks ago.

Kate Bilo is also doing the forecast from her house. I wonder if someone there got Covid.

Lauren Casey did the weather from her house last night, and, today, Jim is in the studio while Janelle is in the newsroom.

Not sure. WFMZ airs both of those shows but only on weekends. They do, however, air The First 48 on weekdays; it seems like most stations air that on weekends only.

Those L3's remind me of the WPHL graphics, which I absolutely hate. The rest isn't bad.

There was a "10 at 10" bug during last night's broadcast. So for only the debut edition did it still say "10:00 News".

WATN in Memphis has been using the updated look for the last couple of weeks now. I'll post a compilation on my channel later this week.

 

Wow, I like that a lot. Much better than the "old" open.

Rick Williams for sure. Probably paired with Sharrie as well.

Discussion should go in the thread made for this, but I thought it should be posted here too: Jim Gardner is retiring from WPVI at the end of 2022.

Will we see Move Closer To Your World on all the O&O's now? ;D

Seriously, though, I am curious as to how (not if... hopefully this message won't eventually be ironic) WPVI will use MCTYW with this graphics.
