Former WGNO and Weather Channel meteorologist/producer Scott Pilié is moving back to New Orleans. He made his announcment on social media the same day WDSU Chief meteorologist Margaret Orr announced her retirement. However, he hasn't said what work he would do in the city.

WDSU Chief Meteorologist Margaret Orr is calling it a career after 40-plus years at the station. Her last broadcast will be the 6 pm show March 29.

Today is the annual Mardi Gras Day shenanigans in Louisiana and coastal Missisippi and Alabama. WVUE and WWL had a common theme with their costumes. Meanwhile, WDSU Awas WDSUing: https://twitter.com/wdsu/status/1757446261903413576?t=odUKOkngXg32M4zuQVKOzQ&s=19

And here they are with those new graphics (screenshot from re-airing of noon news on its web site):

Looks like Tegna and DirecTV have ended their weeks-long dispute with a multi-year agreement.

I am sure someone told the FOX folks about the fleur-de-lis' connection to Louisiana.

Do not be surprised if you see programming on the New Orleans Saints and LSU Tigers.

Tegna must have forgotten they have acquired some long-standing juggernauts, for some of those crown jewels were lost in the shuffle are now a shell of themselves (see WFAA, WWL) thanks to the tomfoolery over the years. I understand company mandates, but everything isn't meant for everyone.

WVUE is leaving its complex at 1026 South Norman C. Francis Pkwy - where it had been since Day One roughly 70byears ago - and will move into a building on Howard Avenue (near South Broad Street and I-10). They hope to be in their new facility in time for the Super Bowl in February 2025, ironically in New Orleans.

God forbid Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry wins the governor's race this fall, for I feel he would do the same to the statewide Louisiana Public Broadcasting.
