Usually Spectrum losing Tribune/WITI in Milwaukee would have had the state of Wisconsin threatening to take control of Spectrum to force Packers playoff games on WITI to air. This year, there is not that leverage. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/333/#findComment-219240 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkolsen 1684 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) A while back I posted a thread (that seems to have disappeared) about my father being interviewed by Discovery Channel Canada for the show Disasters at Sea. He was interviewed about his role as a USCG (he’s a civilian) investigator on the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FV_Alaska_Ranger]sinking of the factory fishing ship the FV Alaska Ranger[/url] where 47 people on the ship were rescued and sadly five died. The show airs on the Smithsonian Channel in the US on February 17, 2019 at 9 p.m. ET/PT Quote SHIPWRECKED IN ALASKA Premieres Sunday, February 17 at 9 p.m. ET/PT Deadly flooding sinks the Alaska Ranger in March 2008, forcing the crew to abandon ship into the frigid waters off the coast of Alaska. Their retrieval marks the largest cold water rescue in the history of the U.S. Coast Guard. Without the ship's remains to look into, investigators have little to go on until a visit to the sister ship of The Ranger reveals a shocking secret that's putting other lives at risk. Edit: I found the original post. Edited December 28, 2018 by rkolsen Formatting errors.

As clarification, of the 4P-630P block, only the 6PM portion would be available on-demand on their own website if they follow their usual protocol. Currently, the 4P and the 5P-630P newscasts are available on-demand during the window between newscasts up until about ten minutes before the next one. That doesn't apply to NewsON, where all of their newscasts for the current and previous day (but not Chronicle) are available. Curiously, their 7PM newscast isn't available on demand on the WCVB site, but Chronicle is.

east-tx-tv 121 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Bobbie Wygant, the KXAS fixture that has out-tenured all other on-camera reporters/anchors/hosts in DFW, has come out with a new book called "Talking to the Stars". She has interviewed countless actors and celebrities (many if not most are surely in the book), as well as working in other roles while at Channel 5. Several years ago, a website was launched to digitally archive many of her recent and past interviews. The ones I've seen aren't always edited, so there's less of a TV-polished look to some of the videos. Amazing that Bobbie Wygant is 92, and is still at it. The forward to the book was written by longtime CBS newsman (and veteran of WBAP/KXAS) Bob Schieffer. http://www.bobbiewygant.com/ https://www.dallasnews.com/life/life/2018/12/28/92-nbc5-celebrity-reporter-bobbie-wygant-still-reaches-stars https://www.star-telegram.com/entertainment/tv/article222611905.html https://www.nbcdfw.com/entertainment/the-scene/Bobbie-Wygants-Memoir-Covers-70-Years-in-Television-501823832.html 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/333/#findComment-219335 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLETVFan 367 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Mark Nolan just tweeted that tonight's 6pm newscast will be his last on WOIO.

Eat News 4745 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) Just in time for the end of the year... KUSI is now on Roku! Now everyone can enjoy the old classic set, those favorite Grandpa and Grandma anchors...and a few pretty "nieces". And who can forget that smell of Old Spice during every anchor toss. You will also get to see Mark Mathis the twitter beat down king. Plus.... The ghost of John Coleman...and his extended 50 year climate change forecast. Happy News Year from the McKinnons.

Out and About has become a TVNT fixture since @TexasTVNews established it in August 2011, and it's exciting to go into 2019 with it assuming its proper place as a sticky thread for all the latest bits of news from around the country. 6 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/333/#findComment-219457 Share on other sites More sharing options...
