Out & About

WTMJ taking it on the chin and letting so many go. Now Tom Durian is done at the end of July to move on to KVVU, Henderson...and Las Vegas, as evening anchor, since Steve Chamraz is entrenched. KTNV must be livid.

Effective today, KDFW is expanding their noon newscast to an hour. DFW will once again have an hour-long noon newscast since WFAA moved their’s to 11am in 2018 to accommodate GMA3.

Two things...

 

I don't think I've ever seen a report about KAPP/KVEW win in any timeslot. Thanks to great help from good 'ol pal Austin Reed, KAPP/KVEW is #1 at 5:00pm.

Some asshat decided to cause harm or damage and temporarily turn off KWTV's radar. Thankfully, it has been restored but police are looking for the person who did it.

Wow. Good for them! They’ve been the low-budget cellar dweller for years. Morgan Murphy has spent some money here after downsizing in the last decade. There is a real set (super basic), news programming in competitive slots, and better on-air presentation than their competitors. They’re up against Cowles’ KNDO/U and their boring “NonStop Local” brand, and Sinclair’s standard output with KIMA/KEPR. Although, big props to KIMA’s John Kennedy O’Connor.

If my addition is right, I think this gives KDFW a weekday news amount of 11½ hours (not counting The Ten, their recent 10am addition helmed by some of their newsfolks, but definitely not a newscast; and not counting their overnight news repeat).

Actually... 12 hours:

4-10am, 12-1pm, 4-7pm, 9-11pm.

Oh, jeez, I forgot they added 6:30pm.  I'm never up or watching then.  Extra was previously in that slot.
