Breaking News 828 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 KHOU's changes were very radical considering with the new news director from KGW installing hubby as lead AM anchor with Lisa Hernandez and then bumping Greg Hurst off of the 10P for Mia Gradney and Len Cannon. ITs bad when the only stable newscast is your noon newscast. What newscast does Greg Hurst anchor now and is Mia Gradney the only female primetime anchor?

JoseRM303 171 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 What newscast does Greg Hurst anchor now and is Mia Gradney the only female primetime anchor? Greg does 5 & 6 pm with Mia Gradney Len does the 4 pm with Rehka Muddaraj and the 10 pm with Mia Gradney.

Rusty Muck 4372 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Interesting read from The Washington Post on how ESPN's loss of subscribers has Disney investors worrying and how it might effect the TV landscape. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2016/12/07/one-of-disneys-most-popular-brands-has-investors-really-worried Strange as it sounds, it seems like Scripps may have done the right thing in spinning off their cable networks. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/202/#findComment-163715 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAVY 10 Fan 233 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Looks like WJXT morning anchor Ashley Mitchem's found a side gig as a Jacksonville Jaguars cheerleader (not that the Jaguars have given their fans much to cheer about in recent years) http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2016/12/11/roar Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/202/#findComment-163848 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 2412 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I hope you don't guys don't mind sharing me the KONG logo history on here and I apologize if its in the wrong thread, but there's a reason why I'm doing it. You'll see in the end and this is according to Logopedia. First logo and cheap at best (1997-2005) Second and most recognizable logo (2005-2016) For some reason, they introduced a new logo in Mid-2016 to get rid of cable/OTA channel numbers (2016) And now, just recently, the logo has changed so here's the brand new logo and shouldn't surprise any of us... (2016-present) So KONG has changed its logo and look though I'm not sure how it looks like on TV since I don't live in the Seattle area.

Samantha 2895 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 That's a much more consistent logo with the rest of the KING/Tegna look. Meanwhile, Azteca's moving up in Charlotte and Sacramento and already did so in Boston. It's on the prowl as it tries to get out of the ratings basement.

atlnews2 591 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 And CBS hasn't bought this train wreck of a station yet because..... the amazing thing is that Meredith isn't a bad owner. KCTV, KPTV, and WFSB show that they know how to properly run a station. Yet when it comes to WGCL they can't do anything right; the talent seems to only last 2 years at the station leading to a constant revolving door, they change their branding every 5 to 6 years, their syndication lineup is scarce and they rely on infomercials to fill time ( a top 10 market station airing infomercials at 1pm every day is inexcusable), they have absolutely no identity in the Atlanta new landscape, and to top it all off they haven't been able to take advantage of Tenga/Gannett's total mismanagement of WXIA. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/202/#findComment-163929 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3950 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 It's like Raycom and WOIO. Running a station in this sized market is clearly too much for them. Why CBS puts up with their failure year after year while sitting on WUPA... WUPA was CBS's insurance policy if Tribune refused to put CBS on WGNX (too bad they sold out because seeing as how Tribune has exploded in size since then...)

I think that CBS prefers having WGCL be the mess that it is over having WUPA become the Atlanta version of WWJ. WGCL is a mess, but it's much more preferable over the alternative. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/202/#findComment-163932 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think WGCL46 has the right people in place, but they just can't stop being dysfunctional. I did see with Amanda, doing the Morning news somewhat making WXIA a competitive in the AM where both tied in third place. However, there needs to be tough love to Ms. Davis. Meanwhile Meredith isn't a bad company, if WOIO/19 & KTVT/11 could from the gutter to compete with the three big dogs; then WGCL/46 can do the same thing as well too. It just needs to stop with the shit show. 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/202/#findComment-163933 Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlnews2 591 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Turns out that Amanda Davis should never have been arrested.
