Roadrunner 216 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Chaos has abounded at O&Os so it's nice to have seen some new hires debut in the past week(s) on-air (albeit actually hired months before the economy is at now). Not conclusive, but in addition to Chelsea Edwards' hiring at KTTV (original post in LA forum), here's some updates: Nicole Nielsen joined KTVT after graduating from OU last year. Cierra Johnson joined KNTV from WBNS. Allison Gargaro joined WOFL from KERO. and Lauren Coronado, Danica McAdam (Lawrence), and Allison Ash all seem to be no longer just freelance at KNSD. Meanwhile, and also inconclusive, the following (not seemingly mentioned before) have left: Sandra Jones has left WVIT to return to Richmond, VA. Liz Harrison retired from KFSN. Cassy Arsenault left WBTS in May. Gaby Rodriguez left KNSD in May. I already feel like the likes of Denise Nakano, Dave Lopez, and Randy Paige were basically sort of "nudged out" of their seats, so to speak. Hope we won't see another sweeping slash a la CBS, even if/when a potential second wave wreaks more havoc on the economy.

Roadrunner 216 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Wow.. KTVT will be needing a new consumer reporter now. Alanna's departure from broadcasting for law school is also joined by others recently, such as KMIZ's Tyler Murry and WRCB's Claudia Coco. Wondering what the momentum will be for these specific transitions.

ttvn2000 320 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 WKRC announces its "B" team: https://local12.com/news/local/local-12-names-afternoon-co-anchors Adam Clements had been pushing hard for a promotion, serving this role in an interim capacity after Brad Johansen left and when Kyle Inskeep took a 6-week leave of absence last year (after Rob Braun left the station). He settled for a "breaking news anchor" role on Good Morning Cincinnati - so it's good to see him get a legit promotion.

tyrannical bastard 3942 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) Well, to my surprise, (and thanks to scrabbleship for the heads up on WMBB/WPGX) Nexstar stations WMBB and WDHN are now producing 1 hour primetime newscasts for Lockwood stations WPGX and WDFX, respectively. For WPGX, this is the first 9pm newscast in a LONG time, going back at least 25 years. Panama City was one of the few markets not to have a primetime newscast of any kind. For WDFX, this replaces a news share from former sister station WSFA in Montgomery, who continued the arrangement until recently as WDFX had to be sold since Gray already owned WTVY in the Gray/Raycom merger. As for other spinoff markets, WFXG in Augusta appears to be producing their own news still, after spinning off from former sister station WTOC in Savannah. WTNZ is still having Tegna station WBIR produce their newscasts. At one time, both WTNZ and WFXG relied on what are now also Nexstar stations, WATE in Knoxville, and WJBF in Augusta to produce their news. WJBF stopped doing so when they entered into the SSA with WAGT under Media General, and WTNZ went with WATE under Young's ownership after their agreement with WVLT expired. This lasted until 2011 when the current share with WBIR began. If Lockwood is making it work in Augusta, I could see it continuing as is. WATE (under Young & Media General) ended up producing WBXX's newscasts (under Lockwood's ownership) until Gray bought them and merged them with WVLT. It is entirely possible WATE could be next in line if they choose not to renew with Tegna's WBIR.
