TexasTVNews 1377 Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 I think The FAB Life and The Meredith Vieira Show will be canceled after this season. As much as I hate daytime network/syndicated talk shows (except Maury Povich, Steve Wilkos, and Dr. Phil are the only shows I watch) I would rather see more court shows, game shows for 2016. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/133/#findComment-142046 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we need more game shows, especially networked ones- why doesn't NBC bring back Scrabble (again) or Sale of the Century (the real one, not that ripoff Temptation crap from 2007), or ABC bring back, I dunno, Debt, with Wink Martindale, or maybe The Joker's Wild?

TexasTVNews 1377 Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 I want to see revived or new soap operas back, and speaking of game shows; you know the one show I want to see coming back is The Pyramid. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/133/#findComment-142050 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bsean 149 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 So a few updates: *Kimi mentioned on her Twitter that she is/was training the new weather lady/girl. No word yet on when she officially starts. *Heather Myers starts at KFMB on Dec. 28th, according to her former co-anchor Marc Bailey. No sign of Heather this morning. At least when I tuned in at 430. Jeff Zevely was doing weather. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/133/#findComment-142070 Share on other sites More sharing options...

justin2kx 237 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 As much as I hate daytime network/syndicated talk shows (except Maury Povich, Steve Wilkos, and Dr. Phil are the only shows I watch) I would rather see more court shows, game shows for 2016. CBS Daytime is set. NBC Daytime should not try another talk show again. Nate Berkus, Jeff Probst, Meredith Vieira (much as i like her) should have sent them that message. Let the affiliates use the hour for news or local programming (eg. 4pm) or present something different to the affiliates (soap opera or an hour of games) that would be useful after Days of our lives. It's ABC Daytime that needs some help. This time, Katie and the FAB Life should have sent them the message. Ditto what i said about the hour that can be useful for NBC for ABC, this time before or after GH. Would at least bringing back OLTL (which had decent ratings unlike AMC prior to cancellation) or creating a new soap hurt that much, regardless of economics? 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/133/#findComment-142084 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And believe it or not, Jerry Springer was a normal talk show the first two seasons (with low ratings) before the format/theme change. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/133/#findComment-142105 Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnya2k6 171 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 It seems that Stephany Fisher's (longtime WGCL anchor who unceremoniously got the boot this past summer) six-month hiatus will soon be over, and it won't be long before WAGA makes it absolutely, positively, 100% official. Fisher is of course expected to join Tom Haynes for News Edge, but Fox 5 will have to make a couple sacrifices. Kaitlyn Pratt could be promoted from Good Day Atlanta to general assignment reporter, with Lisa Rayam in her place. Rayam will still do noon, but should relinquish her 6:00 spot (alongside Russ Spencer) to Stephany. But since WXIA is without a lead male anchor after DeMarco Morgan left for CBS News, Fox 5 may send Ron Gant packing, meaning he'll have wait six months before joining Brenda Wood on 11 Alive. Who knows what will happen in the coming weeks? 6 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/133/#findComment-142161 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A3N 1002 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Is she a trained meteorologist? I know stations in California seem to care not as much about that. Nope. I don't even think she had any formal training on presenting weather prior to this. Which is really baffling because, as I mentioned before, they hired Kimberly King (whom was a traffic reporter/ fill-in weather person at KNSD--before being laid off) several years ago and that ended horribly. King, had very limited weather experience, yet KFMB hired her. Why they would ditch a meteorologist in Kimi Evans is beyond baffling. The funny thing is that KFMB for several years had expected/demanded that their weather anchors be AMS certified, but with recent hires, they've gone back and forth in selecting candidates with or without the seal or even being a meteorologist.

Eat News 4745 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 West coast forecasters have very little tools and information to make predictions beyond 12/24 hours. Radar is only good for 25/50 miles out over the ocean. The Airforce does not fly data into west coast storms. All you have is sat, marine observations from bouys and ships, and that's about it. Nice boob job and tight butt keeps the male viewers happy,and a non-threatening gay asian guy keeps the women (and some guys) happy. More hooey in wx forecasting here in the west than anything else. There is not much craft to practice here unlike the rest of the country. When I'm News Director I'm gonna have the best weather team around. They are gonna be super hot guys and gals... That can put out wildfires, design and build reservoirs...and predict all the earthquakes a week in advance. "The Channel 73 Global Climate Force". Nope.
