TexasTVNews 1377 Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) I don't know if anybody was aware of what's happening in Southeast Texas, but Beaumont's KBMT-TV 12 (12.1 ABC & 12.2 NBC) had to evacuate their studio on the count of high flooding in their studio. They'll be broadcasting at their sister station, KHOU-TV for the time being. https://www.12newsnow.com/article/news/local/12news-kbmt-station-evacuates-flooding/502-3f302131-4911-46f6-a60e-28367ecfd25e Edited September 19, 2019 by TexasTVNews Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/378/#findComment-232843 Share on other sites More sharing options...

east-tx-tv 120 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 UncleBarky is reporting that Jeff Jamison will be departing KTVT soon after 16 years there. The station meteorologist isn't revealing yet what he'll be doing next. Of the current group of KTVT's weatherfolks, Jamison had been there the longest. https://www.unclebarky.com/dfw_files/dad2625b3368621cc5016cce66343710-4465.html Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/378/#findComment-232849 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, the fact it survived Harvey tells something. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/378/#findComment-232869 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greggo 351 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 KPRC is now the third Houston TV station airing an hour of news at 4p, joining KHOU and KTRK. Started this week. They had been running 30 minutes of news, followed by Extra. Extra will continue to be seen at 12:30p and 3:30a. This is a return to an hour of news at 4p for KPRC. They cut it back to half an hour several years ago citing news overload. But I guess those ad dollars were too good to pass up ... https://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2019/09/kprc-2-expands-4pm-news-to-one-hour.html Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/378/#findComment-233263 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasTVNews 1377 Posted September 26, 2019 Author Share Posted September 26, 2019 Everybody, I won't be active on TVNT for the next three weeks due to this year's State Fair of Texas starting tomorrow, but I will be active when I get a day off. And CBS 11 (KTVT) will be at the fair every Friday at 4:00, 4:30, 5:00 & 6:00pm. I'll be posting pictures of the team and BTS while I'm at work. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/378/#findComment-233309 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that was during the Sinclair-Tribune deal, when Fox attempted to buy those handful of Tribune stations. During the Nexstar deal, WSFL was Spun-off to Scripps. Fox backed out of buying any spin-off, leaving the door open for Scripps & Tegna. Even them both outbidded Apollo.

There was no way Fox was leaving SVN in the first place, seeing that it is one of their most-watched affiliates in the country.

I believe WSVN has been more successful as a FOX station then it was with NBC way back when. Furthermore, I've always wondered whether FOX will attempt to purchase Sunbeam Television when Mr. Ansin passes on.
