Would me taking a picture of the newscast be proof? Also, it was listed on TV Guide. I have a picture from earlier this morning. That's Nate Fluharty on the right (of First News on KTBS) anchoring. Neil Shaw was in for Brian Fowler who normally does weather on mornings. However, by the time they went to 9am, Dominique Brogle (who normally does that hour anyway) was anchoring.

As of today, they switched from Keynote to the NBC version of 360's 360 and took to Instagram for the occasion: Skimming through NewsOn, which WNYT has issues with as opens are clipped, Steve Stone is now on the talent opens. My thoughts on Steve Stone is he’s a bit TOO excited. The way he says some of talent names such as “Jerry Gretzinger” is a bit too fast. Can’t wait to hear how he says “meteorologist Reed Kisselback.” 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/376/#findComment-232252 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAVY 10 Fan 233 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Tough year for Cleveland viewers with several well-known personalities passing on gets tougher with the death of Fred McLeod last night at the age of 67. McLeod, most recently the local television play-by-play broadcaster for the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers, had previously filled the same role with the Detroit Pistons as well as working as a sports anchor at WJ(K)W (where wife Beth is currently working as a meteorologist) and WDIV. https://fox8.com/2019/09/10/longtime-sportscaster-cavs-announcer-fred-mcleod-dies-at-67/ 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/376/#findComment-232257 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably hasn't been updated elsewhere yet but as @ColtFromGulfcoast said it was on the TV Guide grid so KTBS/KPXJ must've entered their 8am newscast into the system without telling us anything about it. Anyway, it was about time that KPXJ's morning newscast expanded to 2 hours.

MorningNews 1437 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Do NYC stations still dedicate as much time and special coverage to 9/11? It led the KTLA Morning News this morning which I was happy to see considering in years past it's been a brief mention of the anniversary. A horrible day I will never ever forget for the rest of my entire life, even as a 1st grader with little understanding of what was unfolding at the time. My aunt who lives in Queens was on a train and witnessed the very beginning of the attacks. Such a haunting experience.

My aunt who lives in Queens was on a train and witnessed the very beginning of the attacks. Such a haunting experience. Yes, all the network flagships and PIX 11 covered the annual reading of the names from beginning to end (approximately 12:10 pm to get through all 3000 names). It is still very poignant and a fitting tribute to all the victims, from the busboy at Windows of the World, the staff at Cantor Fitzgerald, all the other office workers and visitors at the time, as well as the first responders and those that perished on the two planes.

Studies show younger audiences think local news is formulaic and boring. So this, in my opinion, is a good way to shake it up. I hope the newscasts are interesting to watch and they have good content. I'm hoping (and I won't be surprised) if they start doing stories in the style of Vice News and KXTV. I think viewers would like that. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/376/#findComment-232338 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the majority of this forum (along with longtime station viewers) will probably hate it from day one, cause they all think local newscasts are like the formula for Coca-Cola, in that changing it would be sacriligous and lead to tons of hatetred. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/376/#findComment-232342 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody has the four anchors with no personality, they all sit behind a desk in a studio that looks like the bridge of the USS Enterprise. Something different is long overdue.
