It looks like some more folks are taking that buyout.

 

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution states that WXIA's weekend anchor Keith Whitley, educational reporter Donna Lowry and reporter Kevin Rowson are taking Tegna buyouts.

 

It also stated that four photographers at the station are also taking buyouts.

 

And longtime KHOU reporter Doug Miller is also taking a buyout, too.

WJTV in Jackson has started a weekday 4 p.m. newscast. I haven't noticed it mentioned on this website, and I am just noticing it on television, so I am guessing it just debuted in the past few weeks. WLBT has had a newscast from 4-5 p.m. for several years now. WAPT has had a newsbrief between Ellen and Judge Judy at 4 p.m. for several years.

 

WJTV's newscast airs from 4-4:30 p.m. and is anchored by Terrance Friday.

KICU in San Francisco appears to have re-branded, based on this Twitter pic.

Another Tegna departure......

 

WLBZ's weather anchor Steve McKay is leaving the station to devote more time to his ministry.

 

His last weather report will be aired this Sunday.

I thought that was an It Came From The D Block joke.

I still think it's a joke. Who's Twitter posted it? Link?

 

Why wouldn't they put KTVU Plus on 2.2? Wouldn't other FOX O&Os follow suit?

Like we said last week....

Lieberman will poo his pants.

Is it someone's photoshop? My apologies if it is. It looked like someone took a photo of their TV with their phone. I saw on Twitter, but not from Lieberman.

I wonder if Diana Pierce took the buyout...

 

Meanwhile at KMSP-Fox 9, Jason Matheson's show is getting a national tryout.

It also stated that four photographers at the station are also taking buyouts.

Wonder who will Anchor Weekend Evenings now... Valerie Hoff is the 1st name that comes to mind, maybe Blayne or even Jeremy Campbell or could possibly somebody outta left field or a new hire like WSB and WGCL always seem to do?

Also they know if they offered Jon Shriek the buyout and he took it, Doug Richards would be right behind him probably, Richards came in 2007 after 21 yrs. at WAGA Fox5

 

Also note that Business/Consumer Editor/Help Desk Reporter Bill Liss was also eligible but Declined and will Continue to work for 11Alive for atleast to near future.

 

Jon Shriek(1979), Jerry Carnes(1986), Brenda Wood(1997), Chris Holcomb(1990), Jaye Watson(1999), Valerie Hoff (1999) and Jennifer Leslie (1998) were not offered but were eligible for the Buyout

Minor newscast note here at FOX 4: our Saturday A.M. news will shift to the 6:00-8:00 a.m. slot, instead of 7:00-9:00, starting April 23. The Sunday a.m. news remains 7:00-9:00.

Of all those people, Shirek is the only one at 11 Alive who joined while it was still an ABC station (for at least one more year)?! WAGA has Morse Diggs, Randy Travis, and Dale Russell who've all been there since its CBS days.

 

Could "Fox 5 News Weekend with Deidra Dukes and Keith Whitney" be far behind?

The Phoenix Business Journal had an article earlier this week on the launch of Telemundo Responde on KTAZ/KHRR. It's not terribly good, but it does mention that the first Responde report will air next week.

Could this be a sign Fox is going to put KICU in the spectrum auction? Of all the SF stations, it has one of the highest values on the FCC list. KTVU Plus on 2.2 or 2.3 makes way more sense than KTVU Plus on 36, IMHO. Seems like that'd be confusing to viewers.
