Samantha 2902 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 In Phoenix, KTAZ flipped its weekend and weeknight anchors. Daniel Aguirre is now paired with Rebeka Diaz, fresh off a stint with Efekto Noticias in Mexico City, while Ruben Pereida slides over to weekends.
TheNewsFan 1 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 In the Miami market, WJAN-TV has lanuched it's 7am newscast presented by Luisiana Rios (She's still anchoring the 11pm newscast on this station).
TheRolyPoly 2592 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 In the Miami market, WJAN-TV has lanuched it's 7am newscast presented by Luisiana Rios (She's still anchoring the 11pm newscast on this station). the second Spanish local newscast at 7:00 a.m. after Noticias 23 al Amanecer en UniMas Miami (WAMI 69). Unfortunately, this new newscast is also an hour-long and its called "Arriba America," obvious with its name-sake.
TVIntheDesert 185 Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 First, one of three single-station Nexstar deals, the KASW one from SagamoreHill has been CLOSED. They also named the former Director of Sales for the Telemundo Arizona stations, Denise McManus, as General Manager. It appears they're staying at the KTVK facilities at 5555 N. 7th Avenue until May, according to the KASW info link at nexstar.tv.

TVIntheDesert 185 Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 You think they'll take the KPHO studio facilities? I believe the Black Canyon studios of KPHO are too large and old (asbestos build, maybe?) for KASW to move in. I wouldn't be surprised if Nexstar found some space near the airport for the station, most likely near KNXV - that seems to be the new "broadcast row" in town.

ns8401 957 Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 A couple of things from Detroit: WJBK FOX 2 has added Megan Spencer, who was last at WTVQ in Lexington, KY until 2011 as Weekend Evening Co-Anchor alongside Ron Savage. No word on if she will report during the week as well: http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/wjbk-adds-co-anchor-to-weekend-newscast/140891 A producer at WXYZ made a bad decision Wednesday Morning when wording a post of the video of the Taiwan Plane Crash. The post triggered several complaints and a correction and semi-apology: http://deadlinedetroit.com/articles/11472/update_terribly_worded_post_on_crash_was_not_part_of_a_trend_wxyz_says#.VNP-0y7VrMr
bammy9 26 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 apparently i never saw this, WFOX and WJAX now have a weekend morning newscast, anchored by Erica Bennett and Meteorologist Erin Clanahan They've been airing a weekend morning newscast since COX took over.
ns8401 957 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 WFXT FOX 25 in Boston is getting a new Sports Director. Tom Leyden is leaving his Sports Director job at WXYZ in Detroit after holding the job since 2012. He started at WXYZ in 2004 and will start at WFXT in April.
NewsMaster 226 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Larry Stogner's final WTVD newscast is tonight at 6.
TriangleTriadMediaNews 267 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 What an amazing tribute to an incredible man. Was very nice to see Gov. McCrory on tonight to award Larry the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, which is NC's most prestigious award for a civilian. Larry Stogner's final WTVD newscast is tonight at 6.
TriangleTriadMediaNews 267 Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 WOWK/WVNS weekend meteorologist Kristin Ketchell announces via Facebook she'll be joining WNCN. Her last day at WOWK/WVNS is February 22nd. Former WOAY chief meteorologist Heidi Moore will replace Ketchell.
Mrtraveler01 738 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 As I mentioned in the No Emotion Box, TMJ4 in Milwaukee announced that the morning team of Vince Vitrano, Susan Kim, Brian Gotter, and TaTiana Cash will be pulling an "all nighter" following the Super Bowl, anchoring Live at 10 following the game and Live at Daybreak the next morning. I've never heard of any other station doing this before, but it almost makes sense, considering Live at 10 probably won't start until 11:30-midnight, and Live at Daybreak starts a few hours later at 4:30am. KMOV is doing the same thing tonight after the Grammys.
Glimmer 283 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 KMOV is doing the same thing tonight after the Grammys. I wouldn't be surprised to see some ABC affiliates do this after the Oscars.
Breaking News 839 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 News Directors corner; Julie Eisenmann leaves WJCL22/WTGS28 in Savannah for Assistant News Director at WXIA in Atlanta. Dave Ciliberti leaves WTEN in Albany, NY for WCMH in Columbus, OH both are Media General stations. Keith Conners has landed at WTNH in New Haven, CT having last worked at WTHR in Indy.
effseesee 101 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I think it's nothing other than overlap. KEVN operates its main signal on channel 7. Given the VHF operation, and the terrain in the region, it may simply be used to fill in some dark spots. KOTA is already doing that. They're operating on channel 2, with a translator on channel 18. Well, now I am curious. Gray has reserved the call sign KIVN-LD for K23KK-D. The only sure thing is that it won't be CBS. They just renewed their agreement for KCLO. Seems like a lot of work to grab something like CW or My Network. Why not just put it on a subchannel like they just did in Casper for KCWY?
sanewsguy 514 Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 The consolidation at WOAI and KABB continues as they merge their weekend news team. http://blog.mysanantonio.com/jakle06/2015/02/major-anchor-weather-changes-at-woaikabb/ (I'm guessing they will still have separate sports casters, David Chancellor on 4 and Kevin Cuenca on 29)
trev57 46 Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 WISN has launched a new image campaign called "Where will 12 News take you tonight?". Basically highlights how they bring you all the big stories and events happening in Milwaukee. The main thing I found interesting is that there is zero use of Hearst's triangled look they usually use for everything; instead opting for a squared off blue, yellow, and black look. Has anyone else noticed Hearst stations in other markets doing this? Video can be seen on the homepage of wisn.com, there is no option to embed.
TheRolyPoly 2592 Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 WISN has launched a new image campaign called "Where will 12 News take you tonight?" Sounds like something that WCPX 6 (now WKMG) used to do in the 90s. "Channel 6 News... Where will we take you tonight?"

Samantha 2902 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 A KTVU news crew was attacked and robbed while doing reporting in Hayward today. The reporters lost a microphone and a live transmission unit.
mike91 67 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Yet another long-time WCNC personality is leaving. Ira Cronin, longtime weekend sports anchor, who as of late has been serving as the weekday morning anchor, is leaving for KOAA, where he will have the same job. http://charlottemediascene.blogspot.com/2015/02/wcnc-morning-host-ira-cronin-leaving.html
Samantha 2902 Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 The country's first black-owned TV station will be honored with a historical marker at its former studios. The marker will be for WGPR-TV, which apparently also has a highly active historical society. WGPR-FM 107.5 also broadcast from the site until the Freemasons opted to LMA it out to Radio One in 2011.
