(There's more to that thread that besides what's shown below, too) [MEDIA=twitter]968674083658493952[/MEDIA] It should also be noted that the station just hired a new news director named Greg Phillips (formerly from WVUE), who started work at WMC-TV a couple of weeks ago. http://www.wmcactionnews5.com/story/37305157/wmc5-names-news-director 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/273/#findComment-197995 Share on other sites More sharing options...

J1975am 208 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Starting Monday (March 5), KADN in Lafayette will have a midday newscast on its NBC subchannel (15.2). It will go head to head with KLFY's noon newscast, formerly known as "Meet Your Neighbor" (even though there is an interview segment by that title in the noon news itself)... 5 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/273/#findComment-198052 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAVY 10 Fan 233 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 For the month of February, WTKR won the 5:00 timeslot for the first time since 1994 (before the station ditched the Eyewitness News branding for the short-lived TV-3 News branding) [MEDIA=twitter]969393031135801345[/MEDIA] 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/273/#findComment-198101 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combine the 3pm Ellen lead-in with Barbara and Les, two of the longest tenured anchors in the market...that's pretty damn good. On the flip side...what does this mean for the other two stations? 5 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/273/#findComment-198103 Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsbot 271 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 The ftvlive game cannot be played without the cooperation of the broadcast talent agents. Scott won't tell you that part. The fact that talent agents are heavy advertisers on his blog (and his own feed includes spoonfed PR from agents) kind of gives the game away. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/273/#findComment-198144 Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Block 1566 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 What did I just watch? I normally love KGW, but that is a bizarre move. I can't tell whether that's a terrible idea or genius.

ProButtonPusher 230 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I can’t get over how ugly those handheld prompter controllers that TEGNA and FOX O&Os use. They’re literally all I can look at whenever I see them in use. You’d think due to their size they could motivate Autoscript to make a more discrete product. 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/273/#findComment-198258 Share on other sites More sharing options...
