PelicanGuy 117 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 It must be a Raycom thing, because WLOX's Web site does have a page dedicated to the anniversary called "Life Beyond Katrina", as well as WAFB. I haven't seen anything as far as programming...yet. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/109/#findComment-132208 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannical bastard 3931 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 WALA is expanding their 9pm newscast to 90 minutes beginning August 24th, directly competing with WEAR, WKRG and WPMI for the first time at 10pm since their switch to FOX almost 20 years ago.

Eat News 4745 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Former FOX-6 San Diego Anchor Lynda Martin spotted co-anchoring on KFMB's /CBS 8 morning show this morning. Most likely fill-in since it's that time of the year. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/109/#findComment-132295 Share on other sites More sharing options...
A3N 1002 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Former FOX-6 San Diego Anchor Lynda Martin spotted co-anchoring on KFMB's /CBS 8 morning show this morning. Most likely fill-in since it's that time of the year. She's been doing some radio work over at 760AM, so she literally just had to walk down the hall to the tv side to fill in.

1place4news 5 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Judging by her most recent posts on Twitter, it looks like morning meteorologist Natasha Stenbock will not be returning to KFMB after recently giving birth to twins. Kimi Evans has been filling in and will probably get to keep the spot full-time now.

Kimi Evans has been filling in and will probably get to keep the spot full-time now. Not surprising. They were playing up Kimi's arrival a little too much and had promos of her within the first week. I'm guessing that they held off on Natasha's departure due to her maternity/disability leave and to not scare off the viewers since they've been doing fairly well in the mornings.

Eat News 4745 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Natasha is in a better place now. She will always be welcomed back for vacation fill-in. Kimi Evans was hired from day 1 as perm. "Natasha coming back" was the worst kept secret in recent local TV history. 5 screaming kids beats the hell out of a TV newsroom in 2015.

sanewsguy 510 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Jennie Stencel, the stand-up comedian KENS hired last year to do the traffic report is leaving the station already and headed back to North Carolina where her husband and kids still reside. I was never a fan of her so glad to hear this news. Kinda sad their newbie ND took the easy way out and wouldn't even wish her the best in her future endeavors. Did she really leave the station on good terms like she said? Or maybe's he just new and not used to doing media interviews. Kinda soured my taste about him. Anyways, I guess they got tired of going through so many traffic reporters over the last ten years (Megan Alexander, Kellie Patterson, Natalie Tejeda, Danielle Saar and now Jennie Stencel) that they just decided to go with Stacia Willson who has been a mainstay at the station for about as long. http://blog.mysanantonio.com/jakle06/2015/08/kens-tvs-comedic-traffic-reporter-leaves-job-and-s-a/#33778101=0 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/109/#findComment-132367 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Muck 4366 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Former WKYC chief meteorologist/morning anchor Mark Nolan is joining WOIO as their 4pm and 6pm anchor. Denise Dufala is remaining at 11pm and probably is being assigned to the other early-evening newscast blocks. This as WOIO's rebrand as "Cleveland 19" is imminent. Nolan will remain as the morning host at WMJI "Majic 105.7," a role he's held since shock jock mega-icon John Lanigan retired last April.

One could wonder if Wittman and Dufala would anchor 5/10pm news? Again there probably no need for Nolan on the newscast just use Wittman/Robinson/Dufala on CBS 19 & have Tucker and Wittman on the 10pm on WUAB.

MidwestTV 1229 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 KSHB has hired Richard Sharp from, what appears to be, KCRA in Sacramento. This is surprising, primarily because of his age. He started his career back in 1997 at the station and was at KCRA for the last approximately 11 years. KSHB, and frankly the rest of the Kansas City stations, have been hiring younger and younger, so to see them pick up someone so "old" is different. Additionally, I would think he could find a better job than a weekend morning anchor gig in KC.

They are keeping the Dufala/Robinson pairing on the 11pm newscasts. Assuming that Tiffany Tucker and Whitman are staying in place, I believe this will be the anchor rotation: 4pm: Nolan/Robinson 4:30pm: Tucker 5pm: Whitman/Dufala 5:30pm: Tucker 6pm: Nolan/Robinson 10pm: Whitman/Tucker 11pm: Dufala/Robinson Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/109/#findComment-132588 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WGN want's it's cut of the estimated 15 billion in campaign spending in this election cycle. Stations are adding 4pm,7pm and 10pm shows all over the country. Who cares about ratings since stations are pretty much required to accept the ads.

tyrannical bastard 3931 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I have to wonder if WGN America's decision to drop the 9pm simulcast is hurting them. It was my sole reason for watching them, especially when there was no local alternative or the FOX station was pre-empting theirs.
