My all-time favorite station and became so as a result of his leadership. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/363/#findComment-228512 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised to see Monica Robins out the door soon as well, as the writing seems to be on the wall for veteran talent at WKYC.

Spintech33 126 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) For those who are in the DC metro area (like myself). Barbara Harrison has left WRC after 38 years = Retirement of some sorts. However, she will do specials with WRC. One of the best DC anchors alongside Pat Lawson-Muse.

If said veteran talent is willing to take a pay cut (I know at least one guy was willing to work for $1 per year but to no avail) they should be allowed to continue until they are ready to go. 1 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/363/#findComment-228559 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1955 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Changes are happening at WWL. Longtime anchor Eric Paulsen will be leaving the noon show. He will continue to anchor the Eyewitness Morning News. His replacement at noon will be main anchor Thanh Troung. Because of this, Troung will no longer anchor the 10pm broadcast.

Samantha 2895 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 It's the end of the line for The Vindicator, the newspaper of Youngstown, Ohio, after 150 years—but don't expect changes at co-owned WFMJ as a result: Quote WFMJ is also owned by the same family that owns The Vindicator. In a letter to WFMJ employees dated June 28, [general manager Mark] Brown said the decision to shut down the newspaper will not affect the television station. "We have no plans, no intentions, no desire, no thoughts and no interest in selling WFMJ. Period," Brown said. 1 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/363/#findComment-228565 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogden already owns Tribune Chronicle and also all 3 newspapers in Columbiana County. Gatehouse would have been tited with Canton Repository, Alliance Review and The Dispatch. Ogden also owns 7 springs, and the pirates. Overall this is truly a sad for the Youngstown and Mahoning Valley to loose the Vindy. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/363/#findComment-228584 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatehouse also recently purchased the Akron Beacon Journal, so along with their other Northeast Ohio papers (Canton, Alliance, Wooster, Kent-Ravenna and the associated weeklies) they have a very strong foothold in Ohio when combined with the Dispatch. They could easily pool all of their resources to cover the Mahoning Valley since they upped their sharing of content. Most likely, the T-C will expand their distribution to Mahoning County and become a full-market paper, maybe by acquiring the rights to the Vindicator name. They may have been able to sell the Vindicator if they kept up with the times a little more. It was my understanding that the presses were only modernized less than a decade ago, while other newspapers had made the same move 10 or so years prior. Now with WFMJ, the target on their back just grew exponentially, since they will no longer have a daily newspaper tied to them. I'll bet the Wolfe Family said the same thing when they sold off the Dispatch, only to sell their TV stations to Tegna a few years later... 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/363/#findComment-228586 Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsguy22 59 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 More changes at WWL in New Orleans. This evening, the station will unveil new anchor teams for the 5, 6 and 10 PM newscasts. For the first time in New Orleans history, and maybe nationally too, all weeknight shows will be anchored by two females. A combination of Karen Swensen, Katie Moore and newcomer Charisse Gibson. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/363/#findComment-228701 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously at WJLA & WNBC TV has now returned home to DC. Her bio is still on WNBC-TV. I know for sure WNBC and CAU don't have Breaking News-Live Desk Anchors (Correct)???
