TexasTVNews 1377 Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 WXIA 11 Alive Sports Director Fred Kalil is stepping down. Kalil said that complications from brain surgery 13 years ago make it difficult for him to anchor sports on the evening newscasts, a role he has held for 22 years. “Reading the prompter has never been a lot of fun for me. Before I could remember what I was supposed to say. Now I can’t remember what I was supposed to say,” he said Tuesday on the evening newscast (video above). “It stinks. It stinks. It’s tough. It really is. I can’t tell you how hard it is to go out there and after every single show to think well, I did something — there’s something I can’t do now. I used to be able to do all this stuff in my sleep.” http://www.11alive.com/news/article/304310/40/Fred-Kalils-role-changes-at-11Alive- Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/22/#findComment-88386 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson R. 569 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I wonder if they are going to have Anjanette Flowers return as the Morning Anchor again. Possibly. Right now she's on maternity leave. She just had a baby girl a few weeks ago.

She jumped from traffic at WBTV to weather at WCCB. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/22/#findComment-88403 Share on other sites More sharing options...

d247 43 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 KJRH has fired chief meteorologist Dan Threlkeld. According to a post on his Facebook page, Threlkeld was escorted out of the building by station management yesterday afternoon, before he was supposed to give an on-air farewell tomorrow. His successor, former KSHB meteorologist Brett Anthony, starts next month.

Samantha 2896 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Is it a promotion? You judge, but Sheila Gray, who just recently left WXIX, is going to work for Sinclair. She'll be doing a syndicated report for the entire station group based out of Dayton while also doing some reporting for WKEF-WRGT. It's highly likely that the Dayton choice was made to allow SBG to circumvent Gray's non-compete clause; she can't work in Cincinnati until February.

TVIntheDesert 183 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 News from Phoenix: It appears that KPNX has dropped the 12:30 "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" airing that leads out of news to add 30 minutes to "Arizona Midday," the "lifestyle" show produced by their Sales Department. I don't know if this is temporary until new programming takes place, but knowing how the Phoenix television stations operate, it probably will be permanent. That leaves 1pm as a daytime TV "graveyard" in Phoenix (KTVK has picked up "America Now" and KNXV airs "Right This Minute" - both low-budget syndicated product).

Jterry 43 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Beginning September 16, WMC is shortening its Noon newscast to 30 minutes, in order to fill its commitment to the god awful "America Now", that will then begin airing at 12:30. It previously aired for one hour at 11 AM, but Katie is being moved to that time to make room for the Queen Latifah Show.

tyrannical bastard 3962 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 TVSpy has some more news and details on the new newscasts coming to WPMI and WJTC in Mobile: Pat Greenwood will anchor the 4:30am newscast solo. New co-anchor Kelly Jones will join him from 5am-7am. He will also continue to anchor the noon news, but the noon news will be expanding to a full hour and Kelly Jones will be anchoring the new 12:30 portion solo. These changes will happen on September 9th. Greg Peterson will anchor the new 6:30 WJTC newscast solo but.....WJTC is ALSO adding a 9pm show on September 23rd which will feature both Kym Thurman and Greg Peterson. This will be the THIRD 9pm news in the market after sister station WFGX (WEAR) started one in August and WALA's long-established 9pm show. WPMI/WJTC GM Bobby Totsch also hinted at ADDING a 10:00 news on WJTC, but with no details. (I'm thinking that they could possibly simulcast WPMI's newscast since doing a separate live newscast from WPMI/WJTC's facility would be next to impossible.) Removed from the TVSpy story....I thought it was highly unlikely anyways. WPMI/WJTC also hired two new reporters, Stephen Quinn as a field reporter and Jordan Early as a social media reporter. Here's the story....http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/wpmi-and-wjtc-adding-news-and-talent_b102505 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/22/#findComment-88724 Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was recently shifted to weekend mornings from weekday mornings.
