TheRob 938 Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 I've heard KMBC has plucked WGAL's News Director for their open ND job (another Hearst-to-Hearst transfer). That seems like it would be a good get, considering how well WGAL performs. 1
CircleSeven 1960 Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 This was missed. But back on Sunday, a truck slamed into the facade of the building of Lockwood Broadcasting's KAKE in west Wichita. The article said that the driver of the truck suffered a medical episode, but a dispatcher supervisor said that no one was transfered from that scene to a hospital.

rkolsen 1686 Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 Jay Barbree is retiring from NBC news - just short of 60 years covering space for the network. He started with the network in July 1568. He has covered every manned US space mission from Cape Canaveral and Kennedy Space Center. To be honest I thought he retired a long time ago based on the lack of space flight done in the US. In the past few years he's popped up a few times a year usually doing live hits from WESH. I honesty thought he was someone who was on retainer. Maybe this just means he's finally done with TV. However when SpaceX or Virgin Galactic take off in a few years time and he's still around I can't picture him not contributing to their coverage. As an aside note I wonder if the permanent broadcast booths all the networks had and some Orlando affiliates at the Launch Complex 39 Press Site are still standing, leased or owned by the networks or operational. 2

ns8401 957 Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 Damn, he's been doing this for 449 years?! Yes... his first reports were filed about Galileo and his telescope... 5
TheMassMediaGeek 98 Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 Damn, he's been doing this for 449 years?! I guess he did a story on America's independence from Great Britain 3
Eat News 4745 Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 Yes... his first reports were filed about Galileo and his telescope... He used a computer made of wood. 4

ChesapeakeTV 312 Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 I'm sorry, but I really don't really want to see Ben Swann naked. Fixed, at least according to many after Pizzagate 2: The Pizzaning... 1

JacobC 44 Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 KUTV veteran, Rod Decker announced will retire in mid-September. He says his wife is ill. And he has been in that station for 37 years.
Rusty Muck 4405 Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 Fixed, at least according to many after Pizzagate 2: The Pizzaning... Problem is, if Steve Doerr cans his sorry butt, Sinclair will hire him as Sheryl Atkinson's sidekick.
sctvhound 27 Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 WTOC weeknight anchor Jody Chapin retired Friday after over 30 years at the station, to spend more time with her family. http://www.wtoc.com/story/35871266/after-more-than-30-years-jody-chapin-says-goodbye 1
compubit 675 Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 I agree - I see more Northern Virginia suburban news on WDVM than I do on the other stations... Granted a lot of the stories are short SOT, but still better than what we get from 4/5/7/8/9/14/25/50... J Interesting - I now have 2 channel 811s: The first 811 is HSNHD, and the second is WDVMHD - and both have the correct programs as listed in the guide... Curious if this is happening in other parts of the market? Also need to officially update the local DC-based stations news list: 4/5/7/8/9/14/20/25/50... (If I throw in what I get over the air, it becomes: 2/4/5/7/8/9/11/11.2/13/14/20/25/45/50 - just not including the other 25 in the market - WDVM...) Jim
TexasTVNews 1378 Posted July 19, 2017 Author Posted July 19, 2017 Folks, I'm going to ask all of you who follow TVNT to send prayers and well wishes to WTHR's main anchor John Stehr. Stehr is taking a leave of absence from the Indianapolis NBC affiliate and 13 Eyewitness News to recover from open heart surgery. Stehr made the announcement on Facebook that about his diagnosis and departure. All of us at TVNT send our prayers and get well wishes to John Stehr and to his family. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/indianapolis-anchor-takes-leave-of-absence/192273 3
