TriangleTriadMediaNews 267 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 The only permanent weekend news pairing I've ever known and watched at WGN Television, Robert Jordan and Jackie Bange, is about to be broken up. Robert Jordan plans to retire after 43 years with WGN-TV next month, September 25th. http://www.robertfeder.com/2016/08/14/wgns-robert-jordan-to-retire-with-profound-gratitude/ Godspeed to an incredible journalist. Bob is definitely one of the good guys in broadcasting, he will certainly be missed. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/181/#findComment-157486 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven 1955 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Here we go. Some news expansions. Following what KTVI did earlier this year, KDVR's sister-station KWGN is launching an 11pm newscast beginning September 12. EDIT: Also KSHB will be launching a 6:30pm newscast, also beginning September 12. Scripps-produced syndie show "The List" will be moved to KMCI 38 at 9pm. _____________________________________________ The McLaughlin Group's host & EP John McLaughlin was unable to host the program this weekend because he was "under the weather". This was the 89-year-old's first time missing his namesake panel program since the show debuted in 1982.

rkolsen 1684 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Soledad O'Brien will be taking over the hosting duties of Hearst's Matter of Fact starting next month. She will be replacing Fernando Espuelas. The show launched a little under a year ago. The show will continue to be taped at the Newseum and her production company will make specials for Hearst. In addition the show will be syndicated to stations covering 75% of the country.

tyrannical bastard 3951 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 WOIO's GM will be resigning at the end of the month. http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/8/15/cleveland-gm-out I guess the rebrand to Cleveland 19 didn't go so well Cleveland 19 is a mess. Their triple digit-market stations have put on a better product than WOIO has put on post-Action-News. Given Cleveland's size, I would hope that it puts something on the level of WBTV or WVUE. Part of the problem seems to be the number of anchor teams, as they simply have TOO MANY ANCHORS to begin with! Hopefully they can hit the reset button in the post-Dick Goddard era and put a little more ACTION into their product. As former "Dirty Dining" reporter Scott Taylor used to say....they need to "CLEEEAN UP!!!!!" 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/181/#findComment-157572 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven 1955 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 So after almost five years after moving its primetime news from 9pm to 10pm, WSBK 38 is moving its primetime news again to 8pm. This move will go in effect August 29th. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/181/#findComment-157622 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This move will go in effect August 29th. I think this pretty much kills any sort of move of CW to WSBK. I think that at this point they'd rather roll their dice with WHDH than move. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/181/#findComment-157627 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkolsen 1684 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 How do you get one anyway? You need to be a professional organization that has a need for such a service. I believe subscriptions cost $500/month. There was a trial a year or two ago where Fox sued the company for redistributing content and the likes of NBC and CBS filed briefs in support of Fox's claim. But oddly enough they all subscribe to the service. Something like TVEyes is the only way I can imagine that NBC Archive on YouTube is able to get the clips. Based on the content of their YouTube channel I don't think they are affiliated with the network.

patsx3 17 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 WBZ is launching an 8pm newscast on August 29th which will air on WSBK (myTV38). https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10154446117207010 The amount of news expansion in Boston over the past couple of years has been such overkill. These stations barely have enough amusing content to fill the 11pm and yet these expansions continuously happen. I know, I know, the bottom line is the only thing that matters. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/181/#findComment-157637 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NowBergen 681 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 In Ansin's announcement that he will not fight NBC leaving anymore, it was announced News will be on WHDH at 9 pm and 10 pm. Smart of CBS to move the broadcast to 8 where there is no competition (for now). CBS does this in NY where news is on TV55 at 9 so they do not compete with the awful Fox5 and PIX11 10 pm newscasts. It also seems to indicate CW will stay on channel 56 rather than move to 7? That surpises me, or will it move to WSBK but begin at 9 rather than 8. I think this was tried in St. Louis with mixes results (though an hour earlier due to central time).
