Satire alert......

 

I just found out that WTOK in Meridian is launching a 40 minute newscast beginning at 4:20 every weekday anchored by recently paroled Charlo Greene and.....Larry Blunt!

 

OK.... That's it for me....you've been great!

Also ftvlive.com reporting on layoffs from Sinclair

Wow. KOMO just lost their entire investigative unit.

 

Looks like S!nclair is starting Clear Channel-esque bloodletting.

Sadly I knew this would eventually be happening with the Tribune buyouts (and Vince Condella retiring last year.) Long-time WITI Sports Director Tom Pipines is retiring next month. What a great run for a great guy!

WGRZ weather anchor Kevin O'Connell - who originally planned to exit the station this month - is delaying his retirement until June 2018.

To paraphrase his time as a game show host, K-O ovbiously doesn't want to G-O.

If there were a real life Quagmire out there, he would look almost exactly like this creep.

Maureen is the next one to fall victim to the shitty "retirement" axe at Sinclair. WJLA/NC8 has gone down the toilet since they were purchased by SBG and I honestly won't be surprised if Doug Hill is out next. They already have him reduced to the noon, 4, and 5pm shows, while Steve Rudin handles the 6, 10, and 11pm shows.

Arizona television and radio stations have slated another roadblock program for tomorrow.

 

For the second time in three years, all the state's stations will air a 30-minute special, this one titled Hooked RX: From Prescription to Addition. It is a sequel to the original Hooked, which aired two years ago as a roadblock in the month of January and focused on heroin. The program, like the original, is co-produced by Cronkite News and the Arizona Broadcasters Association.

 

The air time is 6:30pm.
