MidwestTV 1232 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Some changes at WHAS. They've killed their morning brand of "Wake Up" and reverted to "Good Morning Kentuckiana" which is what they were for like 30 years before changing in 2019. They've also returned to two anchor newscasts at 4 and 5:30 pm, something else that was abandoned several years ago. The updated open has also been rolled out. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/141/#findComment-270791 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLETVFan 367 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 With all of the news lately surrounding Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns, could his wife, Emily, end up leaving WKYC? She has been the station's lifestyle reporter during football season since 2019. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/141/#findComment-271390 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLETVFan 367 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Denise Polverine has left WKYC for a new position at Cleveland Magazine. She had been the Director Digital Strategy and Content at the station until recently. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/141/#findComment-271693 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3955 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I see that WKYC finally came to their senses and brought back "news" on Saturday nights at 11pm. How long did the "Mike Polk Experiment" last before getting changed? 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/141/#findComment-274810 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLETVFan 367 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 WKYC has announced who is anchoring the news between 4pm and 6:30pm starting next month: 4pm - Jay Crawford and Betsy Kling 5pm - Christi Paul and Carmen Blackwell 6pm - Russ Mitchell and Laura Caso https://www.wkyc.com/article/entertainment/television/programs/wkyc-studios-expand-early-evening-news-programming-4-pm-starting-september-12/95-4fc83e71-afac-47c7-90f0-10a82b9bd920 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/141/#findComment-276907 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a really good team, and they'd be foolish to break them up. Still think the names of the newscasts are stupid. 3News at 4 & 5 are completely axceptable. But again, this is WKYC we're talking about lol. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/141/#findComment-276910 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But again, this is WKYC we're talking about lol. It’s silly…just go back to “Channel 3 News.” One notable thing is Sara Shookman’s sharp decline in having any sort of presence here. As recently as 2018, she was the main anchor and now has been relegated to 7pm - and gets pushed out by Christi Paul and Carmen Blackwell. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/141/#findComment-276913 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they just keep pushing her out…. As WKYC has expanded its hours of news, her duties have dwindled. Clearly management isn’t a fan.

You have the talent to get out of the ratings basement. It's just little things they can change to make the product better. And I really think they're pushing Sara Shookman out. I thought she did the 11pm too, but maybe Laura Caso does it now? 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/141/#findComment-276918 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving every show a brand eventually disconnects the station from it.

I think having different names, so long as the content and presentation is different, is a good thing. It shows differentiation and gives viewers a chance to latch on to a show that they like. If everything is just "x news"....then most people will think, seen it once, seen them all. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/141/#findComment-276946 Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have to see if “What’s Now” has a different vibe than “What’s New.” The 6pm show and “Front Row” at 7 are different from one another. But having so many “What’s” names doesn’t really differentiate these newscasts. I’d almost rather have something like “Friends at Four (or Five)” - like sister station WLTX… 2 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/141/#findComment-276947 Share on other sites More sharing options...
