That’s probably how she got the job at ABC, being that WTVD is an O&O.

tyrannical bastard 3942 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) A year ago, I posted about ABC 33/40's 24th anniversary. September 1st marks their 25th Anniversary serving as Birmingham's ABC affiliate. James Spann posted about it on his Facebook page, and the main difference between this year's post and last years, is that he threw in some good words for Sinclair (in addition to the prior owners, Allbritton) for allowing him to serve Central Alabama with severe weather coverage whenever warranted.

memnews 36 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Janice Broach retired last night after 30+ years with WMC in Memphis. Given how sudden the announcement was and the fact that she wasn't at all involved in the story (they kept saying she had already "signed off for the final time"), I do hope this was her decision. Either way, the station put together a nice retrospective: https://www.actionnews5.com/2021/09/02/janice-broach-signs-off-action-news-5-after-more-than-3-decades-telling-your-stories/ 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/459/#findComment-264223 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven 1955 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) Dale Hansen signed off one final time on WFAA tonight. But the opening of tonight's 10pm got me. They reenacted the 'Taxi' promo he did when he left KDFW 4 for Channel 8 over 38 years ago. And they brought in longtime VO guy John B. Wells to drive the Taxi. Videos Courtesy of WFAA's YT page.

Nelson R. 569 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) Rachel Coulter joins WBTV from WLBT. Right now she will be on in the mornings. Al Conklin says she is helping out. They will apparently roll with two meteorologists in the mornings but I’m thinking Al becomes Chief Meteorologist when Eric Thomas retires and Rachel takes over permanently in the mornings. They don’t need two meteorologists in the morning. They seem to have hired a good one.
