I didn't know he had become a Dr......good for him. I'm sure some of his old friends at KSBW would be sad to hear this. Off to the big breakers in the sky...

dman748 1256 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 KLAS-TV Las Vegas has added a half-hour newscast at 3:00 p.m. this past Wednesday. No surprise considering that Las Vegas NOW (now just a half-hour at 3:30 p.m.) has suffered from poor ratings and technical problems from the start. Its now the third in the market with KVVU still being all alone at 4:00 p.m. And that Peter Van Zelt guy (or however you spell his last name) will troll on your site saying how bad it is for stations to add newscasts and how stations "would" go belly up if the newscast expansions don't stop or whatever the heck he says on your site 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/321/#findComment-214529 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief-O 31 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) One of northeast Wisconsin's longest-tenured anchors is retiring in November. Tom Milbourn will be stepping down from WLUK after 57 years in broadcasting--24 of them at the Fox affiliate. Those of a certain age may also remember seeing him at rival WFRV during the early 90s. https://fox11online.com/news/local/fox-11s-tom-milbourn-announces-retirement My prediction: 10P anchor Mike Murad takes over the 5P and 9P.

Will WEWS ever learn?! They should’ve never ditched Tera Blake for the short-lived duo of Somara Theodore (pre-ticket-scandal) and Jason Nicholas (pre-WOIO). But I guess things worked out for Tera Blake since she’s now at a dominant WKRC instead of a weak WEWS...

I haven't thought about him since he did weather (IIRR, the midday news, mostly) on WFAA. A bit obnoxious in north TX, but was probably just a warm-up. I'd forgotten the Charlotte mess was him, now frosting on the cake in San Diego? How on earth was he in a relationship, with all that spazzy-wackyness? I wonder if he can bounce back from this, or even get a used-car-sales job. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/321/#findComment-214683 Share on other sites More sharing options...

H4UL4U 127 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) That's a name I haven't heard in years, I hadn't heard anything about him since his second go-around at WCCB. Same here. I remember seeing videos like these pre-YouTube on eBaum's World (another blast from the past). For those playing at home, yes, that is from when WCCB was still a Fox station. IIRC, he left this station to enter rehab then resurfaced in Colorado Springs. Had no idea he was in San Diego.

ttvn2000 320 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 And WEWS should have never ditched Macie Jepson for Jackie Fernandez (pre-ticket scandal). Agreed. That’s when they decided to go for the Ohio City/hipster/club crowd with promos like this: And going way back...I still think they made a HUGE mistake ditching Kimberly Gill. Cleveland (and Pittsburgh’s) loss is definitely Detroit’s gain. WEWS should’ve sent to Danita back to mornings in 2009 and put Kimberly in the main slot. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/321/#findComment-214715 Share on other sites More sharing options...

In person Kimberly Gill seems friendly enough... but on air her stiffness really only works in some places and at some stations... she is a good replacement for who she replaced but that’s about all one can say about her...

She isn’t as stiff as Romona Robinson...who was pretty successful in Cleveland. Or Lorna Barrett, the face of a much-stronger WEWS in the 1990s. But I do think Gill is doing well in Carmen Harlan’s seat at WDIV.
