Nelson R. 569 Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Well we know where Morgan Fogarty is going now. http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/al-jazeera-america-adding-more-anchors_b187714
Nelson R. 569 Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Christine Noel replaces Morgan as weekday 10:00 anchor on WCCB, to be joined by Kirk Hawkins.
CircleSeven 1963 Posted August 11, 2013 Author Posted August 11, 2013 Okay, Charlotte Observer posted this chart that WCCB's newscast has taken a big hit since they'd lost its Fox affiliate last month. (The article primarily talks about the Raycom-Dish Network blackout, which has since be resolved). It looks like WSOC-produced news on WAXN 64 has been getting a increase of viewership, while WCCB has been slipping to third place on its morning and 10pm news.

I think the ratings will change again when the prime time shows start their new seasons in the fall. WCCB has lost nearly 17,000 viewers at 10 (Based on May Sweeps) since losing the Fox Affilifation.

WCCB has lost nearly 17,000 viewers at 10 (Based on May Sweeps) since losing the Fox Affilifation. And it won't be good for CCB. What I'm interested is once Fox starts their in-house ops. in '14, we'll see how they do with that, and will it change the lead because so far, it looks like its going to be WAXN as a 10pm leader for a good while.

Well, WAXN is produced by WSOC, the market leader. I'm a little surprised that WJZY hired one of their journalists right out of college, for their in house news program. But, with Fox primetime programming, the news ratings on WJZY should increase. All I see is WCCB losing even more viewers, come fall.
Daybreak 294 Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 I can't say I'm surprise, but I hope WCCB won't continue to lose viewers like this because the station moral is already down from losing the Fox affiliation and now this put on top of it. I hope things will turn around for them.
Nelson R. 569 Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 So far the switch has hurt WCCB more than it has helped WJZY at 10. The new fall Fox season should help WJZY. If not that, WJZY's own news will.
CLTNewsWatch 4 Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 I can't say I'm surprise, but I hope WCCB won't continue to lose viewers like this because the station moral is already down from losing the Fox affiliation and now this put on top of it. I hope things will turn around for them. They have been airing the Panthers preseason games, along with on-air staff anchoring a pre-game show. But, the NFL season will be airing on WJZY. That will definitely bring Fox 46 a lot of viewers.
swillh2k2 206 Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 From WJZY's FB page just now... They're getting ready to build the newsroom. I posted a comment asking if they're still on track for a Jan/Feb launch and they responded that it was the goal. On top of that they've been posting pics of their off-camera staff, so they're adding piece by piece.
CLTNewsWatch 4 Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 I guess they aren't expanding the building? The newsroom is small compared to others. (Maybe its the same size as WCCB)
sanewsguy 517 Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 I guess they aren't expanding the building? The newsroom is small compared to others. (Maybe its the same size as WCCB) It's not that small... KABB has a much smaller newsroom than even that. I would imagine they would have to expand for the studio though... This looks like it used to be space for sales staff. Another interesting pic from their FB page: There's a sneak peek at their new news logo (looks more polished than the current logo). There's still hope that they will brand their news "Fox 46 News Edge" (KTBC's logo also just says "News"). Can someone update me, have they dropped that really bad voiceover (hold over from the CW46 days)? His name is actually Ryan Drean (one of his alternate voices, I heard it in his demo). If not, I hope they do so by the time they get news. He is not suitable for an Fox O&O.

WCCB already has a News Edge and they kept it when they switched. Not all Fox O&O's have it anyway.
cg41386 135 Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Isn't KTBC the only one that uses the name for most/all of their newscasts? I know a few use it only for their late late news (10pm CT/11pm ET)
CLTNewsWatch 4 Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 All they can say about the start of construction on their studio, is that it will begin soon.
swillh2k2 206 Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 They just launched their new site w/ the Worldnow platform: http://www.myfoxcarolinas.com

A3N 1002 Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 It still doesn't show up on Firefox! Website works fine for me, and i'm using firefox.

TexasTVNews 1379 Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 We have our Sports Director/Anchor to the soon-to-be FOX 46 News. WHDH Sports Anchor Mike Leslie has joined Charlotte FOX owned station as sports anchor and reporter. “I spent a few months in Boston freelancing, getting a taste of a “big-market” environment,” said Leslie. “Now I get to come down to Charlotte and be a part of a station starting from the ground up. It’s apparent, just a couple days in, that Fox does things the “right way.” Leslie came to WJZY from WHDH in Boston. He started his career at WGGB in Springfield, MA.
