rkolsen 1684 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 So apparently WMAR Chief Meteorologist Wyatt Everhart isn't on air anymore. His Twitter bio lists him as a show host / media consultant at WMAR while their website still lists him as Chief Meteorologist. This leaves WMAR with three meteorologists Mike Taylor at night and Lynette Charles in AM (also listed online as Chief Meteorologist) and Adrienne Green. I noticed this when I saw a weather promo featuring only Mike and Lynette. So we now have details on what Wyatt Everharts new role will be at WMAR. He will be hosting a lifestyle show during WMAR's dayside lineup this fall and no other details on this new show was given. Wyatt will also be working behind the scenes in sales and production departments. WMAR airs the following syndicated programs during the dayside: The Doctors, Rachel Ray, Right The Minute, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, T.D. Jakes and Harry. I'm assuming it will take TD Jakes' slot as his show was cancelled. TD currently airs at 3PM. Is it possible that The Now will be coming to Baltimore? Would The Now be considered a news show and isn't The Now scheduled adjacent to regular newscasts? If so WBAL would be the only station without a 4PM.

evwalker0901 38 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Where do you work/live bud? As of this posting, 811 is still HSN here in Ashburn (Loudoun County) . I received additional word from WDVM on coverage and Comcast gave them the most bullshit excuse for not carrying them in Loudoun County. It’s mind boggling..WDVM actually provides a valuable service to loudoun..UNLIKE WMDE which they must carry..

rkolsen 1684 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Apparently WPLG aired blurred footage of an alligator eating the body of a missing student pilot in the Everglades. The studen took off on an unaccompanied flight on Sunday and the wreckage was found Wednesday. That was when the WPLG bird got the footage. Seems to be in extremely poor taste. Do the stations in Miami still share helicopters (save for WSVN)?

WSVN is one of (if not) the highest rated English-language stations in Miami so all the other stations try to be like them with the sensationalism and the "if it bleeds, it leads" approach. Wish I knew some Spanish because I'd rather watch WLTV or WSCV for news if I could.

The studen took off on an unaccompanied flight on Sunday and the wreckage was found Wednesday. That was when the WPLG bird got the footage. Seems to be in extremely poor taste. Do the stations in Miami still share helicopters (save for WSVN)? Yes. Except for WSVN which has 7 Skyforce, WFOR, WTVJ and I believe even WLTV and WSCV share WPLG's Sky 10. Miami news in general is poor taste. WSVN is one of (if not) the highest rated English-language stations in Miami so all the other stations try to be like them with the sensationalism and the "if it bleeds, it leads" approach. Wish I knew some Spanish because I'd rather watch WLTV or WSCV for news if I could. I know how you feel. I watch WSVN all the time and it is the highest rated of the English in Miami but overall is #2 behind WSCV. I hate WPLG for this reason that they're trying to copy everything that WSVN does. It bothers me. The only good thing that WPLG has is that they have DC and Havana bureaus that not even WSVN has. The rest is just copied from WSVN except for the set.
