Posting here because of the talk about what CBS should do. The Young and the Restless has been renewed through 2028: https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/the-young-and-the-restless-renewed-cbs-1235924102/

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 Leslie Sykes has been missing for a while. With that in mind, I have found it interesting that Leslie Lopez has been the third anchor for mornings over the past couple of days. This whole time during Sykes’ absence they haven’t had a third anchor for the whole newscast.

You are correct:

WCBS Channel 2 News from July 16, 1989: Concerning the top story, if they only knew how much the MTA bridges and tunnels cost now.

Here's the full newscast (except for sports): https://abc7ny.com/14320962/ Nice to hear that they didn't change their music.

The Tegna-DirecTV dispute is over. https://www.nexttv.com/news/tegna-and-directv-end-blackout-with-new-multiyear-distribution-deal Just in time for the NFL playoffs (including WKYC airing the Browns' playoff game today).

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.

Sinclair stations could be off of Verizon FIOS on January 1st: https://wtop.com/business-finance/2023/12/verizon-fios-may-blackout-sinclair-stations-including-dcs-channel-7:

Entertainment reporter Bobby Rivers dead at 70: https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/bobby-rivers-dead-movie-critic-tv-personality-1235851583/ He worked for various NYC stations and VH1 among other places.

Veteran WJLA investigative reporter Horace Homes passed away at 66: https://wjla.com/news/local/horace-holmes-wjla-7news-on-your-side-remembers-anchor-i-team-reporter-journalist-investigations-dc-virginia-maryland-baltimore-news-channel-8-wmar-death-passed-obituary-local-news-dmv-washington

Yeah, they had one around then. I think Inside Edition aired between the newscasts.
