tyrannical bastard 4036 Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 KREM? KTVB? WBIR? WCSH? WFMY? WGRZ? The Jacksonville duo? This doesn't include the one truly bulletproof TEGNA station: WMAZ. They could do their worst and still dominate that market because the competition is so clueless. I guess WWL and WKYC would fall into the stations mentioned above as well. I have to wonder how WWL's morning show is doing now that they've been forced to move the 7-9 am portion to Siberia on WUPL...
GoldenShine9 1514 Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 KREM? KTVB? WBIR? WCSH? WFMY? WGRZ? The Jacksonville duo? This doesn't include the one truly bulletproof TEGNA station: WMAZ. They could do their worst and still dominate that market because the competition is so clueless. Since it is a small market and essentially a "training ground" anyway, there have been few cuts there. It's the big market stations that have taken the hits.
J1975am 208 Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 I guess WWL and WKYC would fall into the stations mentioned above as well. I have to wonder how WWL's morning show is doing now that they've been forced to move the 7-9 am portion to Siberia on WUPL... From what I read on NOLA.com, according to the February book, the WUPL broadcast got a 2.2 rating, which is not too bad for the station itself unless there are syndicated shows on the channel that rank higher than that... So it's evident that you can blame Tegna fully for the bad morning show shuffle at WWL/WUPL!!

KTVB's competition is terrible so they'll survive no matter what.
MidwestTV 1247 Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 The NY Daily News posted that Gray Television has sued two people for using false names & materials to get booked on WEAU's local program, "Hello Wisconsin". This would surely be dismissed. The station should have looked into them more, something you'd expect for a news gathering organization.
Chicago's Very Own 104 Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 This would surely be dismissed. The station should have looked into them more, something you'd expect for a news gathering organization. I'm surprised that something like that could still happen, even for smaller markets that they seemed to target, given how easy it would be to find so-called public figures and guests on social media, there's ways of finding out if people are legit even if they provide false details. It reminds me of when Sacha Baron Cohen got on some local news show in Mississippi as "Borat." The makers of the film supposedly gave the producer a fake PR website, but always double check with other sources (even back then, a simple Google search would have given him away). She ended up leaving the station after that, too, because her boss started second-guessing everything she did after that. For this, the fault lies with whoever at the station didn't do their proper research and just haphazardly booked them without second thought. 1

atlnews2 596 Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 Time, Inc has decided not to sell itself. Meredith was seeking to buy part of the Time, Inc portfolio. Maybe now they'll decide to focus on TV acquisitions instead? https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2017/04/28/time-inc-opts-not-sell-shares-down/101018094/
TVIntheDesert 185 Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 How can you forget KUSA? Others for consideration would be KARE and WGRZ. I thought WCCO (and possibly KMSP) were ahead of KARE? Phoenix is still a four-way horse race between 3/5, 10, 12, and 15. No one's a clear winner here. KPNX is down, but not out. We can always pick on WTSP (a true dog in the TEGNA group, alongside KXTV and WXIA), because they decided not to wait until a Nexstar-owned WFLA implode to implement such an awful format. 1
johnnya2k6 171 Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 Don't forget WUSA and WFMY; both have remained third in Washington (behind WRC and WJLA) and Greensboro (WXII and WGHP) respectively for God knows how long. 5

WUSA has a great opportunity to make up ground as Sinclair is slowly starting to infect WJLA. Knowing Tegna they will find a way to screw it up 1
TheRolyPoly 2592 Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 I think this was missed and not talked about here but it looks like KWTV 9 in Oklahoma City has rebranded its sister Ind. station KSBI 52 to... you guessed it... News 9 Plus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KSBI This took place two months ago and DESPITE that rebranding, KSBI 52 continues to only air KWTV 9's weekday half-hour noon newscast. 1
CircleSeven 1960 Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 WFLA is adding at 7-9am newscast on WTTA. But it won't go in effect until August 7. 1
IndyNewsOpens 83 Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 WISH-TV meteorologist Randy Ollis announced on Wednesday he has stage one lymphoma. Also, WTHR anchor Scott Swan suffered a health scare that nearly killed him, causing him to lose 50% of his blood. Best wishes to both of them, and hope that they recover soon. 1

(If it means anything to anyone, sister KOTV up I-44 in Tulsa produces a 9:00 for KQCW.) 1

newsbot 271 Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 The Oxford County (Maine) Sheriff"s Department held a press conference at noon today confirming that WCSH meteorologist Tom Johnston was the subject of a gross sexual assault investigation. There are no other suspects. Johnston committed suicide last month. WGME covered the presser first, while at WCSH, a visibly distressed Cindy Williams joined it in progress several minutes later. http://www.pressherald.com/2017/05/04/police-tv-weatherman-tom-johnston-was-lone-suspect-in-sexual-assault-case-would-have-been-charged/
