CLTNewsWatch 4 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I got a message from WCCB saying that they will be passing that along to the appropriate people who run the app. It was probably a default since they just got the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLTNewsWatch 4 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I was in Uptown Charlotte today and WJZY is advertising the switch to FOX on the CATS (Charlotte Area Transit System) buses. I think there is also a billboard along Independence in Matthews. I noticed it at the last minute so I don't know exactly what it said, but it had the Fox Logo in the corner.

Nelson R. 560 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 WJZY now has a nice little countdown to Fox ticker on the new www.myfoxcarolinas.com. They have now removed all three subchannel logos--Antenna TV, This TV, and the Country Network, from their Wikipedia page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swillh2k2 203 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Switching gears a bit--on wccbcharlotte.com there are promo images of CW shows that say "The CW on WCCB". Possible branding style for 18 when 7/1 rolls around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasTVNews 1366 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Looks like WJZY is all set with the launch in 11 days. Any idea of who's who of anchors joining WJZY start-up newscasts in 2014? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see Doug Kufner become their main sports anchor. He's currently a weekend guy on WCNC. Very personable on Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that they have been hiring employees from other Fox O&O's and WGHP, do you think they might hire internally, from other stations?

Nelson R. 560 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I think the WCCB part of the logo should have a green or black background to match the CW part. The red on top of the green on black looks awfully tacky to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swillh2k2 203 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Jamie Boll and Christine Noel for Fox 46 News at 10 pm Don't think Jamie Boll would leave 3. Despite the shuffling at the other stations they've managed to remain relatively stable. Christine Noël JUST took over weekends at WCCB so she's not jumping ship either...at least not for a primetime anchor job...MAYBE when they launch morning news. That said, I wouldn't be surprised to see former WSOC anchor Vince Coakley or former WCCB anchor Rebecca Clark turn up on 46...same with former WCCB sports director Bruce Snyder. Some WAGA staffers down at Atlanta may make the move up 85 to Charlotte as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanewsguy 509 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Does WJZY still air "Charlotte Now with Mike Collins" and does anyone happen to know if they plan on keeping it or axing it once they flip to Fox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they still air it as of now, we'll see if they keep it. Haven't heard if it will still be around. No reason why they shouldn't. But could hand it off to WMYT I guess...
