    Yes they do! But NBC has so many episodes of Dateline in the can that you could probably run them all every night at 8/7c and it would be a couple of years before the first repeat (not counting the old format with Jane Pauley and Stone Phillips before it went all true-crime).

    That's interesting. My guess is some networks may have to look for non-unionized scabs for some of the behind-the-scenes positions. I guess we will see come fall which syndicated daytime shows stay in reruns, and which don't... EDIT - Saw on the Game Show Forum that Jay Leno is keeping You Bet Your Life on hold, and of course, Mayim Bialik walked out too.

    I believe game show hosts, news personalities, and sports anchors can continue to work. That's a different contract that is good through 2024. See this link: https://www.vogue.com/article/sag-aftra-strike-explainer HOWEVER...would reality shows be considered "game shows" in this case? Terry Crews may elect to walk out with SAG-AFTRA before the live shows air.

    A good update indeed! This is what I've pulled off the past two weeks or so KPAX 7/29/1993 10:00 News - Jill Valley is on this newscast, she would move to KECI but then returned to KPAX/MTN and is STILL anchoring news in western Montana to this day - saw her on TV on my last trip to MT a few weeks ago. NBC Nightly News (3/30/1993) off KECI Missoula KECI News at Six open, 3/30/1993, with Sandra Furlong KAPP/KVEW Northwest Now with Kevin Shaub 9/22/1995 Lots more to come

    This affects markets small and large across the United States. WPIX dropped in NYC, KTLA in Los Angeles, all networks missing in Topeka except WIBW-13. Only ABC and CBS remain in Little Rock. ABC and CW dropped in the entire state of Utah. CBS gone from the entire state of South Dakota and North Dakota (minus Fargo). And of course, WGN gone.

    Speaking of UK game shows, Noel Edmunds' version of Deal was 100x better than Howie's. No fancy models opening cases (or in this case, boxes), Noel had a sense of humor, the contestants came from all walks of life, and it wasn't gimmicky. Most of all, it had NINE £250,000 winners, the highest prize on the show. US Deal only had two $1,000,000 winners after they added numerous million-dollar cases to the game. UK Deal never did that. I suspect Person, Place or Thing will go to my local FOX station in central/SE WA, just like with Pictionary and 25 Words or Less. I heard somewhere that Vanna will stay on with Ryan Seacrest in 2024-25 on Wheel of Fortune. Seacrest has never been married so that takes away a female 'Seacrest' from taking over Vanna's role.

    No end in sight to the writer's strike, and with SAG about ready to go on strike at the end of the week, movie production has screeched to a pandemic-like halt: https://www.lamag.com/article/film-production-zero-permits-writers-strike-wga/ I suspect it will be the year of streaming second-runs, reality and game shows, sports, and true crime. Basically the year without a TV season.

    Yakima news has been relatively normal the past few nights. It could have been Jake gone for some other reason and no substitute reporter available. Or Sinclair is cutting back the local news output to 3 days a week? Given everything going on in other markets - hard to say.

    It's like how KCPQ in Seattle acquired repeats of Judge Judy after KIRO, which had aired her for nearly 20 years, dumped syndication for news at 4:00. Ch 13 did have Judge Judy for a brief time in the late '90s.
  10. VHSgoodiesWA
    Some more small-town clips - KTMF in 1998. Heidelhaus is now the Montana Club, and I've been inside that same restaurant.
  11. VHSgoodiesWA
    WGN 9 O'Clock News open, 2/21/1989 - Pat Harvey, Rick Rosenthal Early Today in 2000, when CNBC was producing it. Nanette Hansen anchors and a really rare find indeed! Montana Today from KECI Missoula, taped April 6th, 2000. Monte Turner is still around taking on a county role (commissioner?) for nearby Mineral County, home to St. Regis and Superior. Features include a school skit on the dangers of tobacco that parodies Millionaire.

    Tonight's newscasts on KIMA-29 was Scott Stovall at KEPR combining Tri-Cities, Yakima AND Lewiston. No local news on KIMA OR KLEW. With this and Friday newscasts being combined with Tri-Cities, it seems like the end is near for these two CBS affiliates in eastern WA/north ID. Jake Taylor is still listed on the KIMA page, at least.

    But is NBC still "proud as a peacock"? I don't watch much of the national newscasts (and no longer have cable for CNN, Fox, or MSNBC) but my mom usually watches Norah O'Donnell on CBS. Occasionally David Muir, and very rarely Lester Holt. She's always preferred CBS Evening News for some reason - through Dan Rather and Scott Pelley. Once Pelley left she started watching David Muir, then went back to CBS... Even my now-late grandmother and grandfather watched CBS, especially back in the days of Cronkite. Anyways, back on topic

    Various national news clips from the PEPCON rocket fuel explosion in Henderson NV, which killed two and injured hundreds, on May 4th and May 5th, 1988 Also, KCYU/KFFX simulcast NWCN at 10PM for a few years, here's one of those. 5/16/2003, with Greg Copeland and meteorologist Mark Coleman.

    That was in January. I stand corrected regarding Days' success on Peacock. That was out of left field and I did not expect that. When Passions went to The 101/DirecTV it was gone at the end of that season. None of that matters however if the writers' strike continues going on for several more weeks/months. No new episodes of Days will be produced.

    If COVID didn't mess up the movie industry (and theatres), could this be the nail in the coffin? Talk about turning the lights off on the popcorn, projectors, all the jobs affected from key grips at the studios to the ushers at your local AMC or Regal cinema.

    Maybe "The Best of Alex Trebek"? One source, I think CBS, says the writers' strike could go on until the end of summer. The Tony Awards will not be televised. https://deadline.com/2023/05/tony-awards-wga-strike-emergency-meeting-actors-equity-broadway-1235365076/amp/ Also, the Directors Guild is beginning negotiations with the studios...I wonder if they too will strike (which will affect movies) https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/losangeles/news/dga-negotiations-set-to-begin-as-wga-strike-enters-day-9/

    I guess it's because TWC is becoming more irrelevant in the days of Googling the weather forecast and getting tornado warning alerts on your phone. It's another way for Byron to get profit for his cheap game show that has a whopping *$5,000* bonus round. Are you sure it's not 1973? $5K wasn't chump change in those days - with inflation currently, that would be well over $30K in 2023. Anyone remember Flick and a Forecast?

    No wonder Regis finally left when he did. Kelly ALWAYS interrupts the co-host. Now, it's her husband of all people. I can't understand how she still has a TV audience. Meanwhile, Judge Milian being snatched by Byron Allen...I was DEFINITELY expecting this to happen. Another dime-a-dozen court show for MNTVs and CWs to air in lieu of another OmegaXL or weight loss infomercial. At least Judge Judy did the right thing and started her own streaming spin-off when she left syndication. Oh, and The Weather Channel is a laughing stock...they air Funny You Should Ask weeknights at 8pm. No, seriously. It's on the freakin' schedule.

    A sample of what is now CW+. Yakima was one of the dozens of small markets that had a WB feed on cable, specifically WB 100+. Much like Foxnet, they cleared WB, WB Kids, and a plethora of syndicated programs, including Ellen DeGeneres in her first two or three seasons. It took me about eight years of VHS collecting to find a WB 100+ clip, but here it is, with the fictional calls "KWYP": And here's another look at small-town Montana TV...specifically KTMF 23 in 1997 - lots of local ads but no news department at this time. KGGL-93.3 "Eagle 93" is still around to this day, and it has one of the best FM signals in western Montana. I heard them as far west as the 4th of July Pass area on I-90, west of Kellogg ID.

    A big dump of new videos this week...starting with this gem. This is a brief clip of BIZNET News, a business newscast that may have been the predecessor to First Business. USA Network aired this at 5 or 6am weekday mornings in the mid-1980s. KAPP/KVEW Weekend Report, 9/21/1991, with Kerry Tomlinson (taped from KVEW) KIMA NewsBeat at Noon at the end of this commercial compilation from 10/12/1994...KIMA aired a 5-min. local newsbrief before joining CNN Headline News. KREM 2 News, 5/8/1993, with Steve Becker and finally...I promised...Missoula newscasts!! KPAX 10:00 News, 9/13/1997, Jennifer John is the anchor and a partial 12/2/95 newscast from KPAX with Shane Edinger, before he moved to central Washington (and KNDO/KNDU)
  22. VHSgoodiesWA
    Open to KULR 8 News (Billings MT) in this compilation of ads from 1993

    Hasn't Gutfeld been on top of some of those network late night shows in the ratings lately? Even during the regular, non-repeat season? Bill Maher's Real Time show is also on hiatus. It's the only late-night show I watch nowadays.

    Even KXLY is a strange duck for a rather large market, also owned by Morgan Murphy. They don't have news at 11pm on Saturday nights, but do have 11pm news on Sundays...I wonder why? Guessing because Saturday is a dead zone for broadcast ratings? I'm not sure how many are watching the nightly Friends reruns on KAPP/KVEW however. It leads into Jimmy Kimmel Live! Before 2022, KAPP aired JKL earlier than any other Pacific time ABC affiliate. It came on at 11:06PM, nearly a half-hour before the other late-night talk shows on NBC/CBS (possibly taped from east coast feed?) I wonder if ABC told them to knock it off.

    For nearly 15 years now. The growth in Tri is crazy, from both westsiders (i.e. Seattle area) and from out-of-state. New housing developments popping up weekly. Not necessarily $300-400K budget homes either. Plenty of McMansions up on the hill, too. The area saw a 21% increase in population between 2010 and 2020, while Yakima only gained 6%. Nearby Hermiston, OR is jumping in population too (nearly 20,000 live there). KNDO's studios shut down around the same time as KAPP. They had dueling studios on S 24th Ave, near the airport. They sent everyone to Tri-Cities except for a multimedia journalist at a tiny downtown sales office for each station. This would have been during the recession (2008, 2009). That's when KAPP dropped to the 2.5 minute newscast that is seen at 11PM.
