Two retirements coming from WJZ. Last week it was Mark Viviano who announced his retirement effective July 18th: https://www.cbsnews.com/baltimore/news/wjz-sports-director-mark-vivano-to-retire-from-broadcast-in-july/ This week it's Vic Carter, who will retire on July 25th: https://www.cbsnews.com/baltimore/news/longtime-anchor-vic-carter-to-depart-from-wjz-in-july/

Even as CBS and Fox now more openly carry games that they wouldn't usually have in the past, there's still more Niner games on KTVU than Patriot games on WFXT. At the time of the trade, we were just ending the era where WFXT couldn't air more than two Patriot regular season games a season. But with all this in mind, Patriot games are still more likely to be on WBZ.

It's not the first time that he says he's retiring, so I'll belive it when he actually does it.

KCRA's Mark Finan signed off last night:

And now Rob announced his retirement effective July 12th: https://www.wfmz.com/news/area/lehighvalley/it-has-been-a-great-honor-anchor-rob-vaughn-to-retire-from-wfmz-tv-after/article_fc458cf2-2a78-11ef-bffb-a3b5b786492e.html#tncms-source=Homepage-Top-Stories

Even thought the Patriots have ended up playing in quite the number of Super Bowls on Fox, KTVU aired more regular season Niner games than Patriot games on WFXT.

It's funny, this is how Fox Sports Chicago ended about 20 years ago, with those teams and the Cubs leaving there.

From various things I've seen oniine, This TV shut down yesterday. Their site has absolutely nothing appearing on the schedule.
