TriangleTriadMediaNews 267 Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 Isn’t it somewhat common for people to visit sister stations or those unrelated to their own when on vacation especially if you have friends working there? If your on Instagram you’ll see plenty of visits to other stations while on vacation - usually to see old friends. I've seen it quite often, especially former on-air talent visiting their old station if they happen to be passing through the area or somehow on assignment in their old market. 5

Eat News 4745 Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 Steve Doerr @ WGCL....It time for Fred to relax before torturing another shop. You are absolutely right...Fred deserves a little vacation... How shellfish of me. 3

TheRolyPoly 2630 Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 New M&A. It looks like Estrella wants to buy Miami's Spanish indie WGEN for $11M. I don't think its a Spanish indie. I think its affiliated with Azteca America. Unrelated to that... KRGV 5.2 has been refreshed and rebranded as a local English/Spanish independent station known as "Somos El Valle." I bring this up because it now airs all newscasts from 5.1 as simulcasts, airs another two hours of live morning news from 7:00-9:00 a.m., airs a new one-hour nightly Spanish-language newscast at 9:00 and the weeknight newscast at 10:30 p.m. is now exclusively on 5.2 http://www.krgv.com/story/37141987/somos-el-valle-programming
PelicanGuy 117 Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 WWL morning anchor Sally-Ann Roberts just announced her retirement, effective February 28. She's been with the station since 1977. #AnotherOne 1
JacobC 44 Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Bombshell right, now that’s a surprise morning announcement from Sally. 1

ColtFromGulfcoast 738 Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 You never know now that WGCL has changed its GM...again! http://radiotvtalk.blog.ajc.com/2018/01/09/as-the-tv-station-turns-mark-pimentel-out-as-gm-at-cbs46/ Which GM at WGCL has had the longest tenure there since the switch to CBS? Just curious. 5
nathannah 2523 Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 I don't think its a Spanish indie. I think its affiliated with Azteca America. Another article mentioned that AZA moved back to their previous WPMF-CD in November 2017. WSVN apparently stopped airing Estrella back in July on their subchannel (it's on a light bulb with the calls WVFW-CD right now), but nobody actually noticed until just now they carry Light TV. Which just shows how these new subchannel networks carrying the same six MGM shows are getting no buzz to speak of. 2
TSSZNews 1052 Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 This is what happens when you hire college kids to do your on-air graphics Devil's advocate: It's entirely possible the control room had that called up in their playlist, and the updated L3 didn't populate through Viz in time.
CLETVFan 369 Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Which GM at WGCL has had the longest tenure there since the switch to CBS? Just curious. Andy Alford served four years at WGCL as GM. There could be a longer-served GM before him. 5
CLETVFan 369 Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Doerr at least had some success at WOIO (alongside Bill Applegate) but that might not be the best comparison to make. Speaking of Doerr, could CBS46 become 46 Action News?
KRAP-TV 146 Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Speaking of Doerr, could CBS46 become 46 Action News? Not in this lifetime! Not with Channel 2 Action News dominating the market. 4

If what your saying is right, a much shorter stint than when WJAN/WFUN had MundoFOX? 2

Which brings up an interesting, yet disappointing IMO, observation, why is it that Buzzr is in Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, And Gainesville, but not Miami? Seriously? No Buzzr in a big city like Miami, while smaller cities get to enjoy it? 5

Guest Former Member 207 Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 Which brings up an interesting, yet disappointing IMO, observation, why is it that Buzzr is in Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, And Gainesville, but not Miami? Seriously? No Buzzr in a big city like Miami, while smaller cities get to enjoy it? In those situations, Fox owns stations in every one of those Florida market but Miami, and they're were the first station group to Buzzr on their subchannels. For the first several months of the operations, the Fox station group were the only ones airing Buzzr, besides a couple low-powers in Fresno and elsewhere. Another article mentioned that AZA moved back to their previous WPMF-CD in November 2017. WSVN apparently stopped airing Estrella back in July on their subchannel (it's on a light bulb with the calls WVFW-CD right now), but nobody actually noticed until just now they carry Light TV. Which just shows how these new subchannel networks carrying the same six MGM shows are getting no buzz to speak of. Just talking strictly about the MGM library...compared to the other major studios, I don't think they produced that much TV content compared to CBS/Paramount, Sony, and 20th Century Fox; even then, Turner/Time Warner still owns a lot of early-MGM content. At least with those studios mentioned, they've maximized a lot of use of their TV content across the diginets--Sony especially (owning GetTV and the content deal they've had with Antenna TV since the latter launched in 2011). One thing for sure...this Sinclair-Tribune deal will effect Antenna TV going forward (as well as This TV), as Sony already moved All in the Family, Good Times, and Sanford & Son to GetTV as of last week.
