Eat News 4745 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) Oh my....Don Lemon is drunk again... And this year Don spotted a former girlfriend in the bar where CNN is broadcasting from in NOLO...too funny. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2019/1/2/drunk-don-lemon-mistakes-reporter-for-old-college-girlfriend Give Don another drink and another bump before he starts getting goo-goo eyed for Brooke.. But wait! Over on FOX News Channel a nice Hispanic woman was being interviewed by the trusty reporter and it went something like this... Reporter: "How do you want to start off the new year Miss???" Lady: "With a loan"... Well I guess our reporter didn't understand what she really said and proceeded to gently rib her for the statement.... " A loan....." ha ha ha.....Toss back to Anchor Kennedy... "Brian" Kennedy interrupted... " I think she said she wanted a lung....not a loan". (Oh shit here we go) It was quickly downhill from there. Toss it back to Tyrus...and pray. Edited January 2, 2019 by Eat News Happy News Year!

I believe his co-anchor Romona Robinson has already left the station. Carl Monday has also posted a farewell video on social media as well. He was at Cleveland 19 since 2007. No surprise there since the past year or two, they've been pushing Tiffani Tucker and Chris Tanaka as the main anchors, while Mark Nolan and Romona Robinson felt they were being phased out.

I’m thinking they may have been on a common press riser and not a set like NBC or ABC had. If it’s a common press riser I can see he reasons why such as poking someone’s eyes out. But I noticed they were fine with NBC using umbrellas when Chrissy Teigan and Leslie Jones we’re out in the crowds, Leslie was using a large black NBC News umbrellla. The NBC News umbrella was black and you could see the peacock and NBC but News was dark. The way News appeared it made me think someone made a mistake ordering black umbrellas.

Mark Nolan already has a full plate hosting the morning show on WMJI Majic 105.7 (where he succeeded the legendary John Lanigan in 2014). His anchoring the 4pm and 6pm news on WOIO were almost like a side project. This had everything to do with clearing the decks before Gray took over on the 2nd.

CircleSeven 1955 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) And to no surprise, it's Herzog that's the new Chief at 13. KTRK's morning meteorologist Travis Herzog will replace the retiring Tim Heller as the new Chief Meteorogist at the station. He'll be weather anchoring the 5, 6 & 10pm shows starting one week from Monday. Elita Loresca will take over Herzog's morning spot.

Cool, thanks for that. Quote As a graphics hub for all of the Hearst owned stations, we have developed an alternate design package called "RINGS" for the stations who might share part of the same DMA as those who use the "DIAGRID" design. So, not just WMUR? (Mods, feel free to move this if necessary.)

I had originally thought Collin would take over Elita’s old schedule of 11a, 3 & 4p until I saw his FB post. So wonder if Rachel will do 11a & 4p M-F and add the 3p on Monday’s & Tuesday’s? Or perhaps she takes David’s weekend slot and David is moved to weekdays? 1 hour ago, CircleSeven said: Probably a split between David Tillman & Myers?
