I listen to WKXB/Jammin’ 99.9 and they expressed plans to be on the air with updates. If anything all the Sunrise stations may simulcast together, but I doubt they’ll just broadcast TV audio unless it becomes necessary.

 

That's good... I like the Jammin' crew and I know they'll do a great job keeping it local.

Sinclair must have gotten some inspiration from that sign to mess up their own spelling. How ironic.

It’s all a test for the viewers...

From Twitter:

 

KSNV misspelled Cincinnati (lower third) in a story about a misspelled Cincinnati road sign.

 

 

In fairness, that is a hard word to spell consistently.

So sad to hear that KUSI's David Davis has passed. I remember watching him here on WISN.

I called the WISN Newsroom a moment ago, and one of the assignment editors told me that they'll be doing a tribute to David on the 11AM newscast

later today, as well as a full tribute on the early-evening newscasts.

Reminds me of a time I was in Charlotte and there was a sign on 77 for "Indepednence Blvd".

KCCI's news director Dave Busiek will retire at the end of the year. The station only had (3) news directors in the entire station history.

I have some good news/bad news on changes in Texas=

Good news in Tyler, TX...KYTX CBS19 since Monday debuted the ONLY news at noon.

Bad news is tomorrow in Dallas and Houston...KDAF and KIAH, both CW affiliates are ending newscasts effective. (Feel bad for the staff)

Oh FFS. At least they added color to it, even if it’s putting lipstick on a pig.

Longtime NBC News and WTVJ Miami reporter Ike Seamans has passed away after a long battle with prostate cancer. He was 80.

 

This man was GOOD. Really GOOD. I know because I watched him for years at WTVJ and was lucky enough to watch his craft with his amazing news voice. A stellar news reporter, excellent at best and legendary at the most. He will be missed.

And as we all know, Ike was at the transmitter building when WTVJ moved from 4 to 6 on September 10, 1995:

That isn't a bad logo. I kind of like it.

Oooh ahhh **clap clap**

 

Seriously, though, it could be worse. I'd say it's a few steps above soul-crushing generic.

So weird that in all of their 14 years, they've never had midday news on KYTX. They've dubbed it The Noon Show.

WTEN's Elisa Streeter is retiring after 30 years, effective the end of 2018.

 

Her line about the "next chapter" makes me seriously think that she'll surface doing something or another at WNYT, probably special reports or what not similar to how John McLoughlin met his end. Perhaps after ~25 years we'll see the return of "Streeter's Lane"...

So strange how they and the Dallas Morning News treat him. It's almost as if the DMN thought he'd just dry up and blow away when they showed him the door years ago. The other DFW stations don't seem to mind Uncle Barky that much. And stupid, since he can get the information elsewhere that they think they are blocking from him.

 

It reminds me of hearing how Tracy Rowlett was excluded from the framed pictures of past/present on-air talent in the lobby of WFAA. Very parched-earth, very very sour grapes.

I only remember Rowlett from KTVT. One of the best. It's a shame how WFAA did him.

Meanwhile, down the dial..... 58 years ago today, Dallas' PBS station, KERA, signed on.

 

It wasn't until 1974 that they would be able to broadcast in color. But a first came along the following year, as KERA was the first US station to air an episode of the Brit-com Monty Python's Flying Circus. All the members of MP made an appearance during a 1975 pledge drive. KERA has been airing Brit-coms and dramas ever since.

Hey everybody, did anybody watched the final NewsFix in Dallas and Houston? My Morning Dose on CW South Florida will be replaced with Live PD. But what will replace the NewsFix slot at 9pm central?
