Then there’s WRC in DC that has an hour-long 6pm into Nightly News. Like Atlanta, they also go up against Fox.

Story from today about Chuck commemorating today's anniversary at the Empire State Building. With a Sue Simmons cameo:

The first few minutes of WNBC News 4 New York from September 30, 1980 (12:37): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5inuKzOHTEU&t=758s At this time they just started using that name/music/set but I don't think I've ever seen that WNBC logo.

WKYC's Hollie Strano made her first appearance on-air this morning since her drunk driving incident about 3 months ago: https://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/2024/02/wkyc-meteorologist-hollie-strano-to-make-on-air-return-this-weekend.html She's been demoted to weekend mornings (plus Mondays and Tuesdays at 7PM).

And her intro:

New hire from WESH Orlando:

Unsurprisingly, it’s resolved right before the Super Bowl: https://www.directv.com/insider/cox-agreement/

Looking at WUSA's schedule it starts tomorrow (2/12).

So the CW has established a relationship with NWA wrestling after it looked like they had a falling out:

He did sports there way back when, so this is a full-circle moment for him: edit: According to Rosanna, Bianca's being moved to Noon and 6PM:

Right now it's two episodes of Daily Blast Live at 3pm. Pretty easy to get rid of at least half of that.

Meanwhile, WPCH has agreed to air Hawks games on Friday nights starting January 12th: https://www.atlantanewsfirst.com/2023/12/30/atlanta-hawks-partner-with-grays-peachtreetv-broadcast-10-games-free-over-air/ Of course, that station did air Hawks games years ago as WTBS. The first two games will also air on WANF.
