I feel like it’s an LA thing that there used to be not enough weather anchors. Like KABC owned the weather coverage with Dallas Raines a great meteorologist and a very funny person imo. But ya know I was studying the Spanish stations and it was like a decade I noticed then that KVEA only had one weather anchor and KMEX had only 2 they both now have meteorologist covering all newscast. But my question was with LA crazy climate why wasn’t weather not taken seriously. I remember watching a vintage video from the 1991 or 1990 of KTLA and I saw their 10pm news intro from back then and I noticed there was no weather anchor, when they launched the morning news Mark Kristi (I believe his name was) did weather and traffic, but there no weather anchor at 10. I always wondered why some tv stations don’t feature weather anchors for their evening shows. Maybe it because I’m not from California and I live in a state with wild weather but it felt weird for me.

I haven’t seen it maybe NY or LA, but in all the other owned markets there no network talent filling in. Now Brittany Bell who now with WABC and formerly of WTVD used to fill in on GMA and WNT a lot. Sydney Scofeld did a report for ABCNews live after those 4 cops were killed in the another NC city (outside of the Raleigh market) which I found surprising. But ABC and there owned stations are either 1 or 2 in the local ratings in their markets. I don’t think there in a position like CBS where local and National need to be under one unified brand.

It’s an end of an era for them.

Yeah and that’s why so many network journalist are part timing with CBS you got Elaine Quijano on WCBS, Jaime Yuccas who’s on KCAL both journalist both part timing on network and local. I think we’ll see a lot more network journalist on the local stations since this unified brand means one unified group.

It was a pretty flat out rollout pretty straight and basic.

Apparently KABC is a carbon copy of WABC as they are now using their custom 1999 cut of Gari’s Eyewitness News.

I not gonna lie I was a little let down. I like their old theme, maybe perhaps they had an audio problem and forgot to roll out the music theme. I know at the beginning they were having some audio problems. The breaking news theme was cut off a little.

Finally there the last this new look is done rolling out. It looks good on them but I will miss the last package though.

Again they’re right next to each other and could remain that way for awhile, but I’m betting Raleigh might overtake them. By the way CBS News is opening a Raleigh bureau. TVNewser reported that here’s the link. https://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/cbs-news-overhauls-streaming-channel-adds-new-bureaus/

She could help them tremendously, I thought she was ND when was she promoted to GM?

Yeah true, we was doing the same at WNBC part-timing with the network also, I recognize there very few slot to gt into network. Getting to network news today is like getting into an Ivy League college. But I hear he makes a lot of money in his current role.

He's a network talent I don't know why they won't give him a network job. He be good at it he appears on CBS Sunday Morning almost several time a month, he's a frequent fill-in on the Evening News. I don't know why they won't give him an opportunity.

Well see, I think well overtake them. This is from 2011 we had beaten them so It can be done again https://www.sportstvjobs.com/local-tv-market-sizes-dma-2/

Vlad Dutheirs anchored tonight. What a treat!

He had one on ITV, channel 10 in Australia, here in the US he was on WGN Chicago and KSWB in San Diego. Among other networks he was huge.

They’re literally right next to each other. Sacramento will remain in 20 for a minute. Raleigh has also beaten queen city in previous rankings in past years.

How about they just focus on KSEE/KGPE in Fresno and WNCN in Raleigh and don't do nothing else to Raleigh and Fresno. Raleigh a pretty growing market. If Perry buys WLFL they can't get WRDC, he can only pick one because if he got WLFL/WRDC/and WNCN that''s a Tripolily I don't think that's gonna happen. Same with Fresno that's 3 stations, I don't care so much for Fresno since its a small market, but I've been doing some reading about the Raleigh market they could overtake another major NC market in DMA rankings possibly in the next year and in the next 5 years they'll be a top 20 market. Perry Sook is dangerous.

Just go it on TVNewscheck, god this is shocking this man was LA’s morning entertainment guy, some people tell me he do reports from LA to the San Diego audience. This was completely unforeseen mean we all go but this was very untimely.

So Sinclair could fall into bankruptcy? I’m praying Raleigh gets cut from Sinclair and someone breathes life into it. I’ve seen WLFL’s programming and I’ve been to Raleigh it is so bad they air PSAs from 2006. You remember those commercials where they said “Pass it on” they’re still airing them, though it’s nostalgic.

Yeah I remember when Unc said that he was insane for saying that he’ll buy the network, especially that he just about owns a station in the same market of all 8 ABC O&Os. Just imagine LA NY, Raleigh, San Francisco having to beat against your competitor and be under the same ownership.

He has to have WPIX. Mark my words.

They won’t do that. There coming back to CW they were one before they never rebranded. CW will be put on the logo

They’ve lost their minds at Sinclair.

Couldnt they put it on their Raleigh stations WLFL/WRDC that’s a duopoly and Fresno KMPH/KFRE that a duopoly there yet they wanted to put it on 2 ABC O&Os in the same respective station essentially they’re paying the competition. They have soup olives in Raleigh and Fresno why would they put it in a competing station in their respective cities.

2010 was the last time they debuted a new set that was when Allison Floyd and Tim McGinnis were anchors and Rich Chrampanis was still sports director all of them gone. That’s how long they had the set.
