Plus Fox gets to be on a full-power station (albeit on a subchannel) in Fairbanks.

 

KFXF was simulcast on KTVF before this change.

 

I'm guessing Coastal Television is paying a pretty price for Fairbanks, in order to protect their Fox interests in the rest of the state.

KFXF's decision to drop Fox was a financial one.

"Notwithstanding significant commitments of time and resources from Gray and its talented local team, we have been unable to turn the station’s finances around," said Gray. "In light of these pressures, renewing the station’s expiring six-year Fox affiliation agreement was not financially feasible."

Per the Memphis Commercial Appeal, former WREG news anchor Richard Ransom has been hired as the new main anchor and managing editor at crosstown rival WATN. His first day on air is September 25th and replaces Brandon Artiles, who will continue to anchor the 9:00 news on sister station WLMT.

 

An update here: looks like Brandon Artiles has left the station after all. Apparently there was a TV send-off, but otherwise this one slipped under the radar...

I think he was at KDKA-TV in the morning slot here about a decade or so. He might have co-anchored with either Sonni Abatta or Heather Barnett at the time? The name and face seem familiar.

According to another forum, Claire Cameron has left WNEM and is now down I-69 at WILX "for family reasons". This really should say a lot...

I don't like to talk about politics but congrats to him. He deserves this victory after everything that's happened to him, especially losing to Allison in that brutal murder.

NBC Sports Boston has suspended radio host Michael Felger for insensitive comments he made in the aftermath of Roy Halladay’s tragic death and towards Dale Earnhardt . He will not appear on the station through Sunday.

 

His radio show was simulcast on the regional sports net. NBC Sports Boston has reiterated that although they simulcast the show they have no editorial control over it.

How put of whack is WKAQ/ Telemundo Puerto Rico’s Schedule? I know they are now an hour ahead of us and I was thinking that they may have a special feed set up for them or a few changes made. But most things look different. I thought they stopped preempting from the main network years ago.

It looks like Newsy is finally on cable. As I mentioned in the chatboxes, it showed up on Cox Gainesville on Channel 276.

 

It's the same channel seen online and on Cincinnati Bell. It's displayed as Newsy___SD, even though its shown in Widescreen.

 

I feel like I just got Headline News all over again!
