MikeBucc 29 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 The changes continue at WNYT-NewsChannel 13 in Albany. The channel has no official morning or 11pm newscast now. Interestingly, from what I understand, the ratings haven’t suffered drastically. https://www.timesunion.com/kristi/article/Paulina-Bucka-leaving-WNYT-after-four-months-16350250.php Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/457/#findComment-262864 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannical bastard 3948 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) Longtime WMBB anchor Jerry Brown has retired after 16 years at WMBB in Panama City. Prior to that, he was a longtime anchor at WDEF in Chattanooga along with stints in Macon, Tallahassee, Wichita Falls, and Wilimington, NC. https://www.mypanhandle.com/news/anchor-jerry-brown-retires-from-wmbb/ I''ve noticed that Tom Lewis has been putting himself on the air. Prior to his stint as News Director at WMBB, he spent 13 years at WJHG as their primary anchor, and even doubled as the News Director for about 5 years (from 2005-2010). He also was a longtime morning show co-host on WPAP radio. And prior to his time at WJHG, he anchored at......WMBB. Could history repeat itself again?

It is not WPTV, in fact the memo states WPTV facility will provide studio support if needed. The address stated is not the WPTV studio address. The memo specifically mentions the purchased media properties of iON (which was located separately in WPB), Newsy and Katz Networks.

tyrannical bastard 3948 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Since Paxson was founded in West Palm Beach, is the facility they're looking to get rid of have any ties to the old Paxson ventures (or old Ion headquarters?) I know they owned WPBF before selling it to Hearst-Argyle, but that was separate and never PaxXed like WAKC was in Akron.

Speaking of Lee Cruse, he hosts a daily talk show on WTVQ with former his former co-host Hayley Harmon. called "The Lee & Hayley Show". Basically a re-do of their "Live with Lee & Hayley" from their WLEX days. That's another thread in itself I've been meaning to start one of these days.

I'm actually a huge fan of that show. It's very refreshing compared to a most of the (advertorial) non-news stuff local stations tend to put out these days, and very underrated. For as much slack as I give Morris, I'm actually glad they took a chance on Lee and let him and Hayley make a comeback because a lot of other groups wouldn't have. I personally feel like he made an honest mistake. But at the same time, WTVQ is a better fit for the two. WLEX used to be a more lighthearted station under Cordillera - serious when they needed to be but they didn't take themselves too seriously either. The culture of LEX 18 is definitely changing under Scripps into a much more hard news-focused station and I just think it all happened for a reason. And yes, all but one of the Morris stations are currently or will carry it by the fall season. For unknown reasons, WDEF is the lone holdout. Guess they feel an hour and a half of Judge Judy from 4-5:30pm is a better use of time (I'm stunned they finally added a 5:30pm show though. In 2021). Gray's WBKO-DT2 in Bowling Green carries it as well.

Alex Anderson will anchor, Joe Haynes will be on weather and Julie Parr will handle the Texarkana reports along with additional reports chiefly from Brandy Campbell.
