Rusty Muck 4366 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 WJW jumped in on the "Johnny Manziel aka Billy Football" social media explosion during their 5:00pm newscast ... casting their legendary 4' 3" horror host "Lil' John" Rinaldi in the process. This is why WJW is THE news leader in Cleveland. And it justifies those 'trending' segments. Kinda.

ColumbusNewsFan 217 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Well, I can't say I didn't nail one prediction in 2016. I said Duane Polman wasn't going to get the 6 and 11pm anchor spot at WCMH. I was right. It's going to be Mike Jackson with Current Weekend Sports Anchor Matt Barns taking over The Morning Show. http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/life_and_entertainment/2016/01/05/0105-mike-jackson-channel-4.html 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/136/#findComment-142695 Share on other sites More sharing options...
easttxtv 7 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Belated congrats (from sometime over the holidays) to David Finfrock, chief meteorologist with KXAS, who has been with them 40 years. Hard to believe. He has been on in DFW longer than any of the current weather or news anchors in the market. The only previous on-air person who served longer was the late/great Harold Taft, who was chief meteorologist at WBAP/KXAS for 42 years (1949-1991) and helped to mentor Finfrock. KXAS only did a very brief on-air mention with a few clips. Happy 40th to David.

Breaking News 825 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Just thinking out loud but WBAL had a listing out for an Anchor/Reporter about a month ago. I don't think anyone is leaving but maybe they were considering / planning a 4PM newscast with Meredith Vieira being canceled? Speaking of WBAL, I do remember they live stream their news, but I see their news is on demand giving you a video of a different newscast. However Hearst' WCVB was doing live stream. Does BAL still live stream? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/136/#findComment-142730 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike been with 4 since 1994, and Colleen will celebrate 30 yrs with the station next yr. Ellie & Duane will just do the 5PM News, but many don't like Duane. Also I'm surprise Gabe Spiegel not looking at 4 or 10. He moving back to town. He's a communication director at some company. He no longer on WJW 4pm news.

NWA_TV_guy 151 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 David Bernard is well known to many South Floridians from his time at WFOR-TV as chief meteorologist, but most recently he returned to his former stomping grounds -- New Orleans -- where he was the morning meteorologist at WWL-TV prior to moving to WFOR-TV. He has recently been the weekday morning meteorologist for WVUE-TV in New Orleans where he replaced Chris Franklin whose contract was not renewed by WVUE-TV and Raycom Media management. Now David will make another move at the FOX affiliate as Chief Meteorologist. He will be replacing longtime Chief Meteorologist Bob Breck. Bob's retirement is effective beginning March 2, 2016 after 35-years at the station. Shelby Latino will become FOX 8's new weekday morning meteorologist. She has worked in Greenville, MS and Fresno, CA and is a graduate of Mississippi State University. Bruce Katz will remain in his current time slots on weekdays and Nicondra Norwood will remain the weekend meteorologist. http://www.fox8live.com/story/30902123/your-weather-authority-prepares-for-the-end-of-an-era 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/136/#findComment-142750 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTSC1980 112 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Some consummations & a couple of new M&As tonight. The KFWD sale from HIC Broadcast, Inc. to NRJ TV (Titan), was consummated on Friday. Also closed on Friday was Sinclair's acquisition of Corpus Christi's Fox affiliate KUQI from High Maintenance Broadcasting. Nexstar is exercising it's option to buy White Knight Class A LP station KZUP in Baton Rouge. Nexstar could resell this station in the upcoming auctions in March. And finally, the final station in the Pappas Liquidating Trust is being sold. WLGA in Opelika, AL is being sold to Cabellero (CNZ Communications SE, LLC) for $500K. This is the same firm that bought Milwaukee station WIWN in the summer of 2014. Well I guess NRJ will add The Works subchannel for KFWD. Will KUQI get new website? 5 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/136/#findComment-143104 Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.L. Hughes 883 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 The bigger question is ... will KUQI get a news department of its very own? Or at least partner with another Corpus Christi station -- or a nearby Sinclair station, such as KGBT in Harlingen -- to finally put a 9 p.m. newscast on the air? Sinclair hasn't really created a news department from scratch on any of its stations since the News Central era (KDBC doesn't exactly count since Sinclair opted to beef up the existing resources, partly by hiring additional staff, used by KFOX for its revamped newscasts after the two were folded into the same complex). In fact, the company hasn't made good on his promise to move production of KPTM's newscasts back to Omaha, if that says anything. A news share agreement is more likely, though KRIS is out of the question, since it already produces newscasts for its CW Plus subchannel, leaving KIII as the only feasible option to produce KUQI's newscasts.

T.L. Hughes 883 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 WFOX is finally returning to early evenings. This evening (January 11), the station is adding an hour-long 6:00 p.m. newscast; the first half-hour is a simulcast of CBS sister WJAX's existing 6:00 news (the two stations already simulcast the 5:00-7:00 a.m. block of their morning newscast as well as news updates produced for WJAX to air during CBS This Morning that air during WFOX's continuation of its local newscast), while the second half-hour will be exclusive to WFOX (as WJAX airs the CBS Evening News at 6:30). As WAWS, WFOX carried an hour-long 4:00 p.m. newscast from 2000 to 2007, when it was cancelled, leaving its 10:00 p.m. show as its only newscast for a time. http://www.tvnewscheck.com/article/91349/wfox-to-debut-6-and-630-news Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/136/#findComment-143135 Share on other sites More sharing options...
