TheRolyPoly 2415 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I'm hearing rumors, new rumors out tonight, that WFMJ may FINALLY get into the 21st century themselves by launching a 5:00 p.m. newscast. No official word on that yet (or even if its just a half-hour or a full-hour) but if it does happen, you heard it here first on TVNT. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/306/#findComment-210234 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even see PBB working in PHX because people are too well behaved in AZ. I'm really kinda shocked that nobody local in the B.A. picked him up. He is also a pretty solid beat reporter. 5 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/306/#findComment-210283 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertNewsGeek 47 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Stanley's leaving for economic reasons, and PBB will be renamed for the Phoenix market -- but not going away. https://www.sfgate.com/local/article/Stanley-Roberts-kron4-people-behaving-badly-phoeni-13145093.php It's just too expensive to live in the Bay Area.

Guest Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I doubt CW would want to stick their toes into news market again they've tried it over a decade ago and failed. WUPA back when it was UPN 69 Atlanta the news cast was produced by WXIA I can't imagine why it failed other than it went up against WAGA (which is why WGCL chooses to do a 9pm for Peachtree TV), but I thought that was great! Also, and you can fight me on this, but Karyn Greer is so underrated. She is one of the best anchors the Atlanta market has ever had (almost up there with Amanda Davis and Brenda Wood, but not to the level of Monica Kauffman-Pearson) and I hate that both 11Alive and CBS 46 haven't kept her in a more permanent role for much of her time at both stations. If there's challenges behind the scenes that we don't know about that's understandable, but if there isn't than she has been shafted for years.

But I don't see why they wouldn't just use the two anchors they have for the 6 & 11 o'clock news...

H4UL4U 127 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Has Dick Goddard ever appeared on TV since his retirement? I know he committed the rest of his career to the "four foots" (animal welfare) that has been his passion for decades...but it's a good thing he hang it up before all of the ownership drama over Tribune and Sinclair heated up..(and about to go back to the drawing board any day now....) I still think Robin Swoboda still has one more TV stint in her....and WOIO is the only place she hasn't worked at yet. John Loufman is the only Cleveland TV personality I know of that has the distinction of working at ALL 4 stations in some form over time. He may have been a "floater" who had short-term gigs to fill in-between people and when others were on vacation. Cleveland had a bunch of them it seems in the 1990s...was it a union thing? Heck, I still see Don Webster (longtime meteorologist at WEWS) in commercials, and he's been retired for close to 20 years, if not longer. When Dick Goddard returned to the air for his "retirement" he seemed quite frail. For years WKYC was a revolving door due to their O&O status. Essentially it was the minor league for NBC's talent. They would do their time at KYC then move on to a larger O&O station, or in some cases like Al Roker, go straight to the network.

Honorable Mentions: Jeff Hullinger and Jovita Moore Karyn Greer has been in the Atlanta market for 30 years. She started on then WGNX Channel 46 Indy as weekend anchor and when the weeknight anchor on the 10pm news left she took over. She been at 46 from Indy to the station becomes a CBS affiliate. In 1999, the station get a new owner. Dave Roberts(then ND) at WXIA brings her over to 11Alive where she was the reporter for Special Projects, and weekend anchor/reporter. WXIA would produce the 10pm news for WUPA, and it could of been a contract dispute, because it was ratings were not there to continue. She would move up to AM anchor and team up with Jill Becker doing Morning/Noon News. Also substituting in the evenings for Brenda Wood at times. They took her off the morning news and cancelled the noon news. She was given a contract, but think with TEGNA being TEGNA, she walked away and it was said her contract wasn't being renewed. She went back to the place she started and was doing reporting and fill-in anchoring. Now she anchoring the Noon news. While her comrades in the market have retired, passed, or moved on. She still only of a few left with a brand name in the market. She should be doing more at CBS46. Make note all (4) ladies competed with each at 6/11pm newscast during the 90s after the switch WAGA at 6pm only.

CircleSeven 1955 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 ^^^ Another Hearst station is going midday. WISN 12 is bringing back its midday broadcast. On September 10, WISN will launch an hourly-11am newscast. That would lead up to the new GMA's third hour program at 12pm. I remember years ago when WISN had a noon broadcast, when did they drop it? 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/306/#findComment-210402 Share on other sites More sharing options...
