KSAZ has got to be the most understaffed news operation in Phoenix (technically), so I can't see them expanding an hour on Saturdays without it being a disaster.

SFTV 526 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Looks like Veronica will take over for Elizabeth on the 6 & 10 PM newscasts and Elizabeth will continue her role as anchor of the 5 & 11 PM newscasts. Here's the story from KPIX: http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2014/04/02/veronica-de-la-cruz-named-co-anchor-for-kpix-5-news/ I guess Elizabeth got too tired handling all the newscasts. Did Dana King handle all newscasts or is this a replacement to her position?

JoseRM303 171 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I guess Elizabeth got too tired handling all the newscasts. Did Dana King handle all newscasts or is this a replacement to her position? I believe when Dana was still around Elizabeth anchored at 5 and reported for the 10 & 11. When Dana King retired, Elizabeth added 6, 10 & 11 PM anchoring duties. So basically Elizabeth is dropping the 6 & 10, and keeping the 11.

tyrannical bastard 3948 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 ....and the set purge of 2014 continues at Media General! With WCBD changing, this pretty much eliminates all of the 2000s era FX sets that they had. WSPA's is starting to look like a WCMH clone, while WKRG's is heading in a different direction...and is NOT an FX set.

sanewsguy 510 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I can't believe this is happening, but Don Scott is retiring from WJZ in July. One-half of the market's best morning news duo is going away. I wonder who's going to succeed Don? Don and Marty had such a great rapport with each other. Would be nice if they could find a female who could "click" with Marty and keep the Eyewitness News Morning Edition on top. Here's the article: http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/don-scott-set-to-retire-from-wjz_b119068 Also, from my home base: KENS, the CBS affiliate owned by Gannett that I avoid like the plague, has decided to unveil their response to the "ice desk" (which you can't have in San Antonio in the first place because it generally doesn't get that cold here). They call it the "Fiesta Desk" which is basically a giant pinata shaped like a desk. I'm betting 99% Gannett corporate made them do something so stupid like this (because they didn't do an ice desk during the winter). Now you see why I avoid them like the plague. And I didn't know about this until I read it online... KSAT of course, is the official station of Fiesta and will air all the parades live. If you don't know what Fiesta (San Antonio) is please google it. Better than me trying to explain. Oh, and KEYT is coming under fire. I'll let Mr. FTVLive tell us this: LEFT COAST STATION CROSSES THE LINE April 11, 2014/ Scott Jones KEYT in Santa Barbara decided to throw journalism ethics out the window and just become Deputy Sheriffs with video cameras. The station showed footage of last weekend’s riot near the University of California, Santa Barbara campus, then told viewers that “we’ll be sharing all that video with the sheriff’s department and the district attorney’s office.” KEYT cozying up to law enforcement didn’t end there, though. Its newsroom staffers posted “WANTED” tweets (“We captured his face on cam. See if you recognize him”) and asked viewers to help catch “Sheriff Brown’s #1 suspect.” It's as if the station decided to give up TV news and play policeman. Then again it might not be all that surprising considering this: Victoria Sanchez, the reporter covering the riot, is the daughter of Santa Barbara chief of police Camerino Sanchez, while KEYT news anchor Paula Lopez is married to Santa Barbara County Judge Frank Ochoa. KEYT news director Jim Lemon tells Jim Romenesko he decided to give the video to the sheriff and D.A. because “I knew I was going to get subpoenaed.” “I thought it’s better to be upfront about what you’re going to do” and tell viewers the station is giving up the footage. “I’ve had a few folks ask if we’re an arm of law enforcement, but the answer is no.” Ummmm....I think the answer is yes Jim. Just saying.... H/T Jim Romenesko Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/42/#findComment-102444 Share on other sites More sharing options...

(credits to DCRTV.com) Curious what he'll be doing. KSAT's weather team is maxed out. HOWEVER, Steve Browne's contract is up soon and he says he'd like to lighten his load. So maybe he'll be doing some of the evening newscasts. Jeanne Jakle might have some details on this soon, so I'll wait to see what she has to say.

Nelson R. 569 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I read on Twitter WYMT in Hazard, KY is getting HD. How does a station in the 25th largest market (WCNC) allow a station in HAZARD, KENTUCKY to beat them to HD? Even after the change to Gannett. WCNC should have got it a long time ago!
