The entire morning show is WTTG castaways. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/526/#findComment-305072 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be his third station in DC after WJLA and WRC... Nah. They should’ve learned their lesson by now. They tried to play fantasy football with their morning show, hiring FOUR anchors away from Fox 5 and it basically propelled them from 5th place to 4th. Plus as far as main anchors go, Lorenzo Hall is pretty darn good. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/526/#findComment-305074 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 2466 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Mitch Carr (remember him from NewsNation's Early Morning before it was cancelled?) is joining WDBJ 7 Roanoke. With this, and Jean Jadhon's retirement, there will be a shuffling of anchor lineup changes at the station. This includes longtime anchor Kimberly McBroom moving to midday and 3pm. https://www-wdbj7-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.wdbj7.com/2025/04/14/exciting-new-chapter-your-hometown-station/?outputType=amp 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/526/#findComment-305076 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GodfreyGR 655 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) Debated between putting this here or in the SportCenter, but at 90 years young, Lee Corso is calling it quits after almost 40 years at ESPN. Final telecast will be August 30, and ESPN says special programming will air in the days leading up to it. Saturday mornings during Football Season won't be the same. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/44713375/lee-corso-sign-college-gameday-analyst-august Edited April 17 by GodfreyGR 2 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/526/#findComment-305097 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday was sports Director TJ Eckert’s last day after 7 years at KTUL. Tonight is Meteorologist Colton Williams last day at both stations. Both are planning to stay in green county but haven’t announce their plans. Well I should say TJ said he will announce later on down the road Colton isn’t for sure as to his next plans but is planning on doing social media weather updates still. Update on TJ Eckert he is joining KJRH starting Monday as senior reporter/anchor and will be anchoring the 6:00/6:30 Extra Edition newscasts with Naomi Keitt.

nathannah 2453 Posted Friday at 12:41 AM Share Posted Friday at 12:41 AM On 9/25/2023 at 9:06 AM, Big Rollo Smokes said: UPDATE: It seems as the failed sale of iMedia Brands/ShopHQ to RNN either created bad blood between the two, or triggered a contractual out clause. Because in a very recent development, ShopHQ is no longer on WRNN in the NYC market. ShopHQ's replacement? The Liquidation Channel, aka ShopLC. One can assume this has been mirrored at RNN's other stations. No announcement of the switch was made on either side. The winner in this deal? Actually, WRNN. The network abruptly left the air entirely on April 15 as it quickly became clear that the energy drink guy knows caffeine, but definitely not the news or home retailing industries. ShopHQ is trying to disguise their GOTB sale on their website as a spring savings event, no refunds for anything you buy there, and the WARN notice went out to the state about their Eden Prairie HQ being closed. Didn't want to update about this until a couple other things were confirmed, but they dropped Spectrum cold on April 1, and did the same to Optimum in February to try to shift live product demos to Instagram and TikTok, which...you're stuck with them on a cable channel lineup, but you can just block them and move on if they're annoying or irrelevant in your feeds. The younger ShopLC (The former Liquidation Channel) just opened a new facility in the Austin area and is strong (tariffs pending) and doing better than QVC/HSN, while ShopHQ is fatally done. Never thought any of that would happen. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/526/#findComment-305273 Share on other sites More sharing options...
