That's cuttin the cord.

Actually more like "pulling the rip cord" ...

 

Somebody sure has some faith in the future numbers.

 

There is NO going back now.

 

Remember to hug your children tonight.

Wasn't Ken supposed to be the logical heir apparent to Frank Somerville? Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Well stations anchorships are no longer hierarchy's by any means.

 

Most of you wish they still were...by they are not.

 

FOX is moving to a newsreader style locally...away from "Anchors".

 

They have proved the concept as viable so far at KTVU.

 

KTVU has bounced talent all over the schedule for the last 2 years and the viewers seem fine with it.

 

But only very special eyes at KTVU get to see the ratings. Doubtful Ken even has a clue as to what his numbers actually are/were.

 

I may even say Mr. Wayne may NOT have had a clause in his previous contract requiring FOX to fully disclose the ratings to him and his agent.

 

 

Anywayyyyyyyyyy

Pittsburgh's KDKA TV general manager Chris Pike is retiring ... Wonder what the changes will be when the new general manager takes over down the road.

40 years in the business and all in her hometown. What an amazing career. My dad grew up outside Richmond and whenever we visit his mother (she still lives in the area) he'd always remark that he was amazed Sabrina was still working. She's been at NBC12 since he was in High School! Enjoy retirement Sabrina.

List add to the list of retirements why don't we? KWCH's Roger Cornish is going to call it quits. http://www.kansas.com/news/business/biz-columns-blogs/carrie-rengers/article209483434.html 41 years, six months, and 13 days he said. His dad, wife, and son all worked there at some point. Wow.

WXYZ’s weekend co-anchor Breanne Palmerini is leaving to take a main anchor role in a smaller market. Sports reporter Kacie Hollins is looking elsewhere. This will leave WXYZ with only 4 real anchors for the whole station.

 

But hey... Scripps isn’t in serious trouble... no sir...
