TexasTVNews 1377 Posted December 8, 2019 Author Share Posted December 8, 2019 (edited) Hartford, CT... Southern New England... WFSB-TV... and Channel 3 Eyewitness News will never be the same without Denise D'Ascenzo. Thoughts, prayers and condolences go out to her family and to Denise's extended family at Channel 3 Eyewitness News. Denise contributions and dedication throughout the Hardford and Southern New England area were prospectively and respectfully great. And I know many of her fans and loyal viewers are sad, heartbroken and devastated of her unexpected death... she'll emotionally will be missed. Rest in Peace, Denise... God bless you, and Godspeed.

By process of elimination, I would guess 1980-82. If she was 61, that would've put a college graduation of 1980 and her arrival at then-WJKW was in 1982. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/391/#findComment-236882 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRolyPoly 2409 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 WFSB is reporting in a late update Sunday night... Quote "Her family believes she died of a massive heart attack." That stuns me because it looks like she didn't have any massive health problems as of recently. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/391/#findComment-236896 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took the liberty of rewatching her last newscast on Saturday night after the news broke while NewsOn still had it up. She looked fine at that time which makes this even more shocking especially since if there was a family history she sure, as a health reporter, wasn't vocal about it. 6 hours ago, TheRolyPoly said: WFSB is reporting in a late update Sunday night...

dman748 1256 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I'd be very interested to see how Hemmer does in that hour, I do wonder if he'll lead the Special Reports and Breaking News coverage for Fox or will that go to somebody else? 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/391/#findComment-236921 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRyan 560 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I think Bill Hemmer will be a good fit. He's good with keeping biases out of the equation in his reporting. I think it's a job well deserved for him. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/391/#findComment-236949 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrabbleship 429 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 6 hours ago, CircleSeven said: RNN National (owners of WRNN-TV) is acquiring eight NRJ TV stations for $81.2M. I don't know what RNN is going to do with these stations other than keeping the "Revenue Frontiers" alive. Their parent station (WRNN) run infomercials most of the day. What was done to WRNN 20 years ago was just wrong. They had a great reputation in the Hudson Valley and the Frenches decided that being a miniscule fish in a tiny pond was better than being a huge fish in a smaller pond. The Hudson Valley is an odd place and if it had the signals it could easily be larger than the other sub-100 NYS markets while not costing NYC its #1 position. I'm thinking these are a means to park the cash they got from selling the spectrum of WRNN. The elder French is pushing 80, his sons have spent most if not of all of their adult lives inside the family ecosystem, but who knows what economical or regulatory changes could happen.

TexasTVNews 1377 Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) Well, hard to believe it's been 25 years since the big network affiliation switch that took place on September 3rd to December 1994. September 3, 1994... Cleveland: WJW (CBS to FOX), WOIO (Fox to CBS) September 12, 1994... Phoenix: KPHO (Ind to CBS), KSAZ (CBS to Ind) Kansas City: WDAF (NBC to FOX), KSHB (Fox to NBC) December 11, 1994.... Detroit: WJBK (CBS to FOX), WKBD (FOX to Ind to UPN), and WGPR now WWJ (Ind to CBS). Tampa: WTSP (ABC to CBS), WTVT (CBS to FOX) and WFTS (FOX to ABC). Atlanta: WAGA (CBS to FOX), WATL (FOX to Ind to WB), and WGNX now WGCL (Ind to CBS). December 15, 1994... Phoenix: KTVK (ABC to Ind), KSAZ (Ind to FOX), KNXV (Fox to ABC) I could be wrong on the date in Phoenix's part of the affiliation change.

I'm curious to know what the 4:30 am show is. The more pressing question is where is Aloha Taylor, she's been gone for too long. So what is up with the weather situation at KSWB? They have Justina Myers doing the evening weather, and she’s horrible. Aloha only seems to be on during the afternoon.

Atlanta being my home market, I remember WAGA 5 ending its then 45-year union with CBS when they took Fox away from WATL 36. CBS got lucky in a sense in going to then WGNX 46 (now WGCL), despite the dilemma of CBS almost having nowhere to go. Next year will also be 40th anniversary of WSB 2 and WXIA 11 swapping out ABC and NBC. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/391/#findComment-237210 Share on other sites More sharing options...
