mre29 1513 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 19 hours ago, TheRolyPoly said: Apollo is looking to sell Cox Media Group. Nexstar and Gray are interested buyers, says Bloomberg. However, there will be conflicts in certain markets if it goes through (for example, Atlanta: WSB-Cox and WANF/WPCH/WKTB-Gray). https://thedesk.net/2025/03/apollo-considers-selling-cox-media-group/ On the bright side, it's only 13 stations in 9 markets thanks to the sheer number of stations that Coxapollo offloaded to Imagicomm. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/524/#findComment-304577 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A major win for WBTV and Charlotte and another major loss for WPMI and Mobile. Back in 2008, Lenise Ligon left WBTV and later ended up as the primary anchor at WALA Fox 10 in Mobile, a job she's held since. 1 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/524/#findComment-304659 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRolyPoly 2346 Posted Monday at 08:05 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:05 PM 57 years at one TV station? It is unheard of now these days in this business. Yet, longtime KARK camera operator Morsie Eagles did just that. Today, he finally retires at The Morsie Eagles Studio (named in 2018) at KARK. https://www.kark.com/news/kark-4-today/kark-4-news-longtime-camera-operator-morsie-eagles-retires/?fbclid=IwY2xjawJX1BhleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHS0eLyTCFzdcloLYtNqauQLYZANUA2F69eToVGruBf2P6KCN2ZX8MbUz7A_aem_9QydHpk2FLzzGMCPCj9e3Q 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/524/#findComment-304791 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannical bastard 3926 Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago (edited) Lee Peck is now one of the morning anchors at WALA in Mobile. He was an early evening anchor before, and filled in as primary anchor after Byron Day's departure. Eric Reynolds is apparently still at the station, but his whereabouts are unknown. He was a longtime morning anchor at the station, even anchoring with his wife at one time. I'm hearing that it could be health-related, so I send my best wishes to him and his well-being.
