He retired last night after a twelve-year run there and more than four decades in journalism, with stops at KTXL, WPBF, KSAZ, WTEN, and even KGO along the way before rejoining KNTV for the second time. He was also there from 1987 to 1995. https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/nbc-bay-area-longtime-anchor-terry-mcsweeney-retires/3752027/ Full circle....

TheRolyPoly 2570 Posted January 9 Posted January 9 A South Texas staple is about to hang up one career for another. Rudy Trevino is retiring as a news anchor at KIII Corpus Christi tomorrow and will trade in that career for one in education at Texas A&M Univ.-Kingsville as their new Professor of Practice and director of a future academic center focused on collecting and studying Tejano music and media. He WILL remain with KIII though to continue to host Domingo Live, a show he's hosted for the past 23 years now. I didn't know until now that he also does a radio show as host and executive producer of the nationally syndicated Tejano Gold Countdown radio show that has been a Tejano music staple for going on 30 years (according to the TA&M Kingsville release). https://www.kiiitv.com/article/news/local/rudy-trevio-to-join-texas-am-kingsville-continue-as-domingo-live-host/503-181bb469-5105-4970-8a8d-aad2191f5f76

Nashville now lost its status as being the only market where all four chief meteorologists... were female (Danielle Breezy, Chief at WKRN; Lisa Spencer, Chief at WSMV; Bree Smith, "Chief" at WTVF (quotes loosely since they never had an official chief ever since Ron Howes retired), and Katy Morgan, Chief at WZTV).

Yes DC has always had strong, legendary news stations. Back in the day on WRC you had Jim Vance, Doreen Gentzler, Bob Ryan, George Michael and Arch Campbell. And WUSA featured Gordon Peterson, Maureen Bunyeon and Warner Wolf. And WJLA had Renee Poussaint. Great talent back in the day. Edited January 16 by tylerSC 2

nathannah 2496 Posted January 22 Posted January 22 And of course it was because Dan O'Donnell threw another temper tantrum about 'free speech for me but not for thee'. These stations just have to stop listening to these cranks because the only thing they're good for these days is outrage. I didn't even know she had an Instagram account, so this was her personal one, not anything connected with the station. Godawful situation that should have been a quiet suspension at the very most, and our X-obsessed man is a private citizen with no government power. She should not have been fired, and these news orgs are turning 'balanced views journalism', meant to deal with little things like football lights at the high school stadium and road expansions through neighborhoods, into a punchline. 1 2
