MD TV

And here's video of his final words: https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/chuck-scarborough-says-goodbye-after-50-years-at-nbc-new-york/6065574/

It's LA and it's KTTV: https://www.instagram.com/p/DDAh7BCSafc/?hl=en

Star Harvey, previously of WPIX, joins the station starting tomorrow: https://www.instagram.com/p/DDAh7BCSafc/?hl=en

Likewise, the 4th hour will be renamed Jenna and Friends, as Jenna will have different co-hosts until they can find a permanent replacement https://www.today.com/video/today-with-jenna-friends-to-debut-in-january-2025-224448581630

And even if they did have cable they’d be turned off by the numerous never-Trump Republicans the network has.

KOIN chief meteorologist Natasha Stenbock left the station last week to spend more time with her family: Also, WJLA's Dave Lucas is retiring November 22nd after about 48 years in journalism and 34 years with them: https://www.wjla.com/news/local/dave-lucas-wjla-anchor-retire-five-decades-november-career-broadcast-journalist-washington-dc-charleston-pentagon-politics-history-storied-emmy-award-silver-circle-honor-acheivements

KTRK redesigned their website. I can imagine the other stations are next: https://abc13.com/

I have no idea where to put this, but:

The new set is live.

20 Denver Nuggets and 20 Colorado Avalanche games will air on KTVD (with some simulcast on KUSA): https://www.9news.com/article/sports/local-sports/nuggets-avalanche-games-9news/73-367719ba-a416-446a-81f5-0c01ce8db05a Altitude and Comcast have had a dispute for quite some time, so this is a nice deal.

Video of the announcement:

Looking at various instagram posts from station talent, as of yesterday they're done rennovating the whole building.

As posted on his Facebook, Craig Allen had a heart procedure this week: https://www.facebook.com/craigallenwx/

A new 11-minute video about the infamous 1996 theme change: https://6abc.com/videoClip/action-news-theme-music-mix-of-96/15326680/

Adrian Wojnarowski is leaving ESPN for a position at his alma mater: https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/41313868/adrian-wojnarowski-retires-espn-joins-st-bonaventure

Happy 75th birthday to the station:

Also of interest is that unlike the Charter deal no channels were permanently removed. And DirecTV consumers will get ESPN's DTC offering for free when it launches.

The standoff is over:

Also in Florida, WTSP meteorologist Natalie Ferrari has left the station and the tv business: https://www.instagram.com/p/C_lP9SFRMC9/?hl=en

Well Monday Night Football is on and no deal has been reached. So it’s already worse than the Charter squabble.

In DC, I mentioned elsewhere that last month WRC relegated Access Hollywood to 3:30am in favor of a 7:30pm newscast (and in the process ending the 4am half hour of News 4 Today). The only other change among the major stations is WUSA replacing Daily Blast Live with a second run of Inside Edition at 3:30. I do see that WDCA picked up Good Moning Football Overtime at noon and WDCW is airing Judy Justice at 1pm (a timeslot where there's no airing of Judge Judy reruns on WTTG/WDCA).

It could also be like when Letterman/Conan did 4 shows a week when they were on after the Tonight Show.

The Disney channels are officially off DirecTV:

KCOP will be the home of locallly televised Anaheim Ducks games: https://www.foxla.com/news/fox-11-plus-announces-media-partnership-anaheim-ducks

Not the first time Imagine was played when an NYC station was about to flip. Musicradio WABC and WPLJ played that right before they changed formats. Been reading elsewhere that WINS was getting higher demo ratings even before they went to 92.3. That and Audacy's financial issues spelled the end of WCBS 880. Here's the final minutes:
