Breaking News 825 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 10 hours ago, ttvn2000 said: Some of the momentum for WSYX was also lost once WBNS poached their talent (Yolanda Harris and Pete Scalia) and sterilized them. (You won't see this kind of "personality" when Yolanda is paired with Jerry Revish.) Hmm. Yolanda Harris, I would say, but Pete I can't co-sign, However, Yolanda plays second fiddle at BNS where she was the mainstay at WSYX. I was told many told her (Yolanda) not to go over to BNS. It might be #1 but inside it, a mess and many are still wondering how long the Wolfe family going to keep the station in their hands. Yolanda was a band-aid to keep the machine pumping, but nothing last forever. Remember SYX was fighting with CMH for #2. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/344/#findComment-222566 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall correctly, BNS was trying to get Yolanda as early as 2012, to replace Andrea Cambern. Perhaps if she would’ve joined them then, the energy could’ve remained. (Kristyn Hartman simply wasn’t a Cambern clone, and it didn’t work out - but I do feel badly for how she left...given the 10 still dominated with her at the helm.) BNS is a tough station to watch...because truth be told, any energy and personality that station had left with Andrea Cambern. (But I digress...Mitch Jacob will have his work cut out fo him at WSMV. I remember his work at WTOL after his stint in Phoenix.)

tyrannical bastard 3933 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Media General tanking WCMH certainly helped WSYX's cause. But under Mitch Jacob, WSYX was Sinclair's golden boy getting all of the tools and expanded resources. Then along came the Allbritton buy and WJLA as Sinclair grew and grew and he was bumped up the food chain... Once the dust settles, WSMV will hopefully find it's groove again. What some of these managers don't realize is a "back to basics" approach can work wonders. Look at WVTM. And the same can be said with WAPT beating out WJTV in Jackson. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/344/#findComment-222577 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BNS whole contemporary branding/image is not them. It's the station with the old guard, but what they're not good at is the young demo where WSYX does well in. I read Mitch wasn't well liked in Phoenix, but did a good job at WTOL, but I guess that because of WTOL's #1 status during his time there. 1 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/344/#findComment-222598 Share on other sites More sharing options...

east-tx-tv 120 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 This after-newscast/party was posted online, it includes brief chats with John McCaa, his wife, his father, as well as past WFAA veterans Tracy Rowlett, Troy Dungan, Gloria Campos, and Byron Harris. Also interviewed were GM Carolyn Mungo, current anchors Cynthia Izaguirre and Dale Hansen (who cleared up a misunderstanding). Cake and wine were served, and McCaa sliced the cake. All who spoke were heartfelt about having worked with and known McCaa. I didn't realize it would be tonight for John McCaa's last newscast. Best wishes and happy trails, John. Cheers!

Wasn't Yolanda supposed to have been paired with Jeff Hogan once Jerry Ravish retired if that was to happen? I think Jeff got impatient and bolted for WRAL. Speaking of WSYX, weren't they #2 when WCMH had Duane Pohlman co-anchoring the 5pm news? Just curious, because he was there when Cabot Rea retired from the station around the same time.
