ttvn2000 320 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Payton Domschke is leaving WKYC after two years. Looking at her Instagram follows as of late, I’m speculating she’s headed to WPVI.

Still, surprised that WPGH is playing along!) Most likely, WPXI wants to keep up with KDKA and WPKD.

Axiom81 70 Posted January 3, 2024 Share Posted January 3, 2024 (edited) WISC-TV is apparently undergoing some changes. Chief Meteorologist Gary Cannalte is retiring at the end of February after 33 Years. (Alex Harrington will take over as Chief Meteorologist in March) Noon and 4pm Anchor Mark Koehn is "retiring" after 46 years (last day is Jan 12th) ( special note that this was not entirely his decision based off his post and On-Air announcement) .

T.L. Hughes 890 Posted January 8, 2024 Share Posted January 8, 2024 (edited) Breezeline (the U.S. unit of Canadian pay-TV provider Cogeco) has dropped WBOC from its eastern Maryland systems. According to both Breezeline and WBOC parent Draper Holdings, the removal resulted from it being considered an out-of-market station in the communities serviced by the provider (including towns like Grasonville, Kent Island, Chestertown, Centreville, Queenstown, Rock Hall, Church Hill, St. Michaels and Chesapeake City, MD), which are considered part of the Baltimore DMA. (As such, this isn't being put in the retrans dispute thread, since this doesn't qualify.) This may suggest Paramount/CBS and Sinclair had requested Breezeline pull WBOC's main CBS channel and Fox subchannel in favor of giving WJZ and WBFF exclusivity in those areas.

norcalTVfan 15 Posted January 17, 2024 Share Posted January 17, 2024 Here we go ... KRCR ... Northern California's legacy snoozefest ... now has three solo anchors for their evening newscasts. Glenn Cassie has been added there. So, one anchor from 5-6 that retires every few years and then comes back, one from 6:30-7, and then one that does 7/10/11. Either they're prepping for a third retirement for the 5 anchor or they have money to spend. A better idea would be to pair up and have traditional two anchor newscasts because the 6:30 person is very green. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/505/#findComment-293131 Share on other sites More sharing options...
