IIRC, KDFI early on in the 84-85 timeframe also used Texas 27. I’ll see if I can find videotape thereof...

Mark has since taken to social media to welcome back Trent, and added that they will both be part of the weather team at WEWS starting in January. Apparently, FTVLIVE got it wrong about Mark leaving. If Mark had left, wouldn't a stronger meteorologist come in to replace him?

SpiderHornet 1 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) Paul Cameron and Delano Little are both retiring from WBTV today. That’s a big loss for WBTV losing both at the same time. Two longtime fixtures of the station gone.

rkolsen 1684 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Well this is Radio News but since it’s related to TV WBAL-AM has bought a low power FM translator, W268BA-FM, at 250 watts to fill in some coverage gaps. The radio station also is simulcast on 97.9 HD2. Image courtesy of Radio-Locator.com Just because of this I’m guessing Hearst isn’t ready to get out of Radio anytime soon. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/331/#findComment-218657 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may not be #1 (out of all stations) but I think they’re doing well. Even during a driving live shot a year back on holiday travel on CBS This Morning I saw the radio was tuned to WIYY in Northern Virginia .

KDKA just recently hired Ray Petelin from WTAE, and it wouldn't surprise me if they name him the new chief meteorologist because he has been a favorite with viewers.

Plenty of in-house candidates to replace her. I hope we get another Tuss/Culver pairing at least once in the interim.

He spent 17 years there, as the chief meteorologist for their statewide operation— the Ohio News Network, and 3 years as WBNS’ weekend meteorologist. If indeed he is returning to 10, he or Mike Davis would be the best choice to replace Chris. People want a familiar name/face. You are wrong on this whole post. He wasn't demoted.

After the Wolfes folded ONN’s operations in 2012, many former ONN anchors/reporters went over to 10TV. Eric was their weekend meteorologist until 2015. No one said anything about demotion.
