cna247 174 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 All of us at TVNT offers out prayers and condolences to Howard Caldwell's family and his friends and colleagues at RTV6. Rest in Peace, Howard and Godspeed. http://www.theindychannel.com/news/local-news/indianapolis/howard-caldwell-longtime-indianapolis-journalist-has-died-at-age-92 Sad news indeed. But like I said before, why don't you stick to offering your own condolences. The rest of us can speak for ourselves and never elected you to speak on our behalf. 5 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/250/#findComment-183724 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always been interesting to me that WAGA does it, and at last check it pulls in very respectable ratings. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/250/#findComment-183727 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColtFromGulfcoast 707 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I'm sure it fascinated Fox Kids viewers in 1994 when it asked kids to write to the governor of Missouri to halt a planned execution. How about that time they talked about premarital sex? 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/250/#findComment-183812 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrtraveler01 738 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I'll be honest, I'm going to really miss KNLC. It's been such a fascinating anachronism since it signed on. No matter when and what I've tuned in over the years, the station seemed like it was at least fifteen years behind the times. Still, Larry Rice always had his heart in the right place (if not his broadcast acumen), and this is $3,750,000 that his ministry can certainly use. Also, Weigel seems a decent owner, so I'm looking forward to what they do with the station. It's an interesting station that's for sure. As someone who lives in St. Louis, I'm curious to see how they'll revamp Channel 24, because it desperately needs an overhaul. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/250/#findComment-183822 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVIntheDesert 183 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Looks like this may just be a warm-up for them. If so, then it'll be interesting to see where they strike next. I'm calling it now. They may end up with KUBE/Houston. MAY. That's all stuff for the Speculatron, in which I created a new thread about yesterday. So, how much did Weigel get for the WMLW spectrum? That should give you an idea of how much they have left for acquisitions.

TriangleTriadMediaNews 267 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 As a kid growing up in Northern VA, today's a bittersweet day. I was never 100% loyal to any news channel, but when it snowed, I always loved watching Doug Hill, especially because I thought the "ABC7 Snow Machine" was the coolest thing ever. Best wishes in your retirement, Doug! Feel free to come back and bring Bob Ryan with you when it snows again! 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/250/#findComment-183969 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greggo 351 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Beloved KTRK/Houston meteorologist Casey Curry (who famously hurt herself on live TV when she fell off a step hours after the station's new set debuted in 2015) is gone with no explanation. New hire Collin Myers had been expected, but no one knew who he was replacing till now. (Technically, Collin is taking over on weekend mornings for Elita Loresca, who slides into Casey's 11a and 4p timeslots.) http://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2017/09/casey-curry-exits-ktrk-abc13.html Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/250/#findComment-184146 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams of field crews from across the entire region will cover important news and weather events from Fort Smith, The River Valley and all of Northwest Arkansas. Here's the statement from KHBS/KHOG President and General Manager Shaun Oswald: “We continue to be committed to localism and to serving our community on The Arkansas CW by providing local viewers our award-winning coverage at a time that is important to them, on Sept. 11, we expanded our morning news, 40/29 News Sunrise on The Arkansas CW at 7 am to an hour and we are excited to continue our expansion of our local news product into the weekends for the 5:00 p.m. time period.” 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/250/#findComment-184234 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, with ABC in College Football mode on Saturdays and ABC Sports on Sundays (which could run long), I'm guessing they got tired of the "will it or won't it air", and just is running on the CW, which we all know, is rife with potential program blocking concerns... 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/250/#findComment-184271 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriangleTriadMediaNews 267 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 WUSA morning anchor Mike Hydeck joining WVIT effective October. Also leaving the WUSA morning team is Allyson Rae who will be going to WBBH. Lately I've seen Larry Miller fill in for Mike and it was already announced that Miri Marshall will be taking over for Allyson. So in the better part of a year or so, the morning team at WUSA has essentially been 100% replaced. Jan Jeffcoat moved to mornings, with Andrea Roane demoted to noon/evening fill-in duties, plus what I mentioned above.
