ColtFromGulfcoast 707 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Then...you have stations like WPMI that make you keep score with their morning anchor team, since they have Kelly Foster doing double duty as a meteorologist and co-anchor to Darwin Singleton two days a week, and as a co-anchor joined by Jake Dunne the other 3 (who works on the weekends and fills in for the often-missing chief Chris Dunn). Translation...they were too cheap to hire a replacement for Kelly Jones when she left and gave Kelly Foster some anchor time.... Ah. The meteorologist co anchoring. This is KSLA with Ron Young on the 9am newscast. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/295/#findComment-205968 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3931 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 This is for the main AM show 5 days a week! It gets even dicier on the noon show where it could be either Darwin or Kelly solo anchoring, with either Jake or Kelly as the meteorologist....and some days Kelly Foster does both by herself! 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/295/#findComment-205973 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archith has the most over-inflated ego of any news person I've ever seen. It's all about him, all the time. He most recently worked for Al Jazeera America, but since then it's unclear what he's doing now. Either way, he probably called WJBF to let them know to do a story on him. Good luck to him on Pyramid, but then again, let's hope when they come to the part where they ask questions about him he doesn't fill up the rest of the show with how important he thinks he is.

scrabbleship 429 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 For once it is not Sinclair or Nexstar. This should be a easy approval once divestments owners are found. I am glad they aren't trying to ask for waivers. Once the paperwork is up we will all see what they are planning. Gary in Cleveland, Charlotte and Cincinnati talk about moving in the market rank. Could they still swallow up Meredith before reaching 39%? Such a deal would add the few areas Gray currently lacks a presence (Pacific Northwest, southern New England) and beef up others (Tennessee, Georgia, Mobile).

john andryczak 6 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Weigel could do that. They've proven themselves great at running major network stations in addition to independents. Granted, WDJT and WBND aren't exactly #1, but you have to give them credit for not throwing in the towel or constantly shaking things up and relaunching constantly. Under them, KNLC would make a fine Fox or ABC affiliate. Terrible health benefits and underbpaying what the market will bear. That’s worth credit?

d247 43 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Funny it took Griffin this long to acquire radio stations, on account it has owned the Radio Oklahoma Network syndicated news service for at least 18 years now. Also, the deal creates strange bedfellows for the stations, since they'll be going from being sister properties of KJRH to being sister properties of one of its chief rivals, KOTV. This is duly noted considering that KFAQ -- which essentially founded KJRH in 1954 -- is involved in the deal. And KFAQ simulcasts KJRH's morning show.

dman748 1256 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 And KFAQ simulcasts KJRH's morning show. Could this mean that KFAQ might actually simulcast KOTV's "Six In The Morning"?

NewsMaster 226 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Interesting timing: just after the Gray-Raycom deal was announced, KGMB/KHNL sports anchor Taryn Hatcher announced that she is leaving the station. No word on why she is leaving, but to me it is not connected to the deal.
