CircleSeven 1955 Posted March 1, 2024 Share Posted March 1, 2024 (edited) It's an end of an era in Michiana. Longtime WNDU anchor Terry McFadden is retiring from the station. His final broadcast will be tonight (3/1). He will be teamed up with his former co-anchor, his sister Maureen (which she retired back in 2019) to anchor this broadcast.

T.L.

Keep your public profile clean and brand related. EDIT: and block your job from seeing your IG story, maybe even block them totally if you can.

SFTV 528 Posted March 7, 2024 Share Posted March 7, 2024 KGO was down with gremlins taking over the station all morning simulcasting KABC until 6:45 this morning. Im suprised with an outage like that, they couldn’t even get anything running not even a newsroom cam. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/507/#findComment-295376 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodfreyGR 652 Posted March 7, 2024 Share Posted March 7, 2024 Randy Shaver is calling it quits in June after 40+ Years at KARE11.

Sorry to see Molly Grantham abruptly depart WBTV, as she was apparently forced out the door after she declined to renew her contract which expires at the end of the month. Rather than allowing her honorably finish 20 years of service, she was abruptly kicked to the curb wih no appropriate farewell or final broadcast. I would speculate Gray TV offered her an unsatisfactory contract, but whatever the case it is a shame to see her treated so disrespectfully. I hope to see her join WSOC or some other station if she so chooses and a contract is offered. WBTV continues to lose longtime legacy talent, incuding Paul Cameron, Maureen O'Boyle, Eric Thomas, Steve Ohnesorge, David Whisnant, and Steve Crump. Losing heritage credentials and class act reputation. More inclined to watch WSOC. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/507/#findComment-295398 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Rollo Smokes 260 Posted March 8, 2024 Share Posted March 8, 2024 (edited) Big news from the Big Apple: after nearly 34 years as an anchor at WCBS-TV, Dana Tyler is leaving the desk at the end of March. But she will be staying on as a special correspondent, of sorts. In actuality, both she and co-anchor Dick Brennan are being moved off the 6:00 PM show in favor of the station's lead anchor team of Kristine Johnson and Maurice DuBois, who will now anchor all of WCBS-TV's evening newscasts. What role Brennan will have at CBS New York after the move is not yet known.

However, Andrea Grymes was just removed as weekend morning co-anchor and posted on IG: "The CBS bosses are making some changes, and that includes a new co-anchor for Doug." That being said, I'm skeptical about how voluntary Dana's reduction to fill in is. Next Tv says Dick Brennan will return to reporting, I also doubt that was voluntary: https://www.nexttv.com/news/wcbs-new-york-changes-6-pm-team Is there anywhere to find accurate updated ratings for NYC?

WBTV statement on Molly Grantham https://www.wbtv.com/2024/03/08/wbtv-statement-molly-grantham/ I hated how it went down. It appeared they might have had some sort of going away party for her off camera according to some pictures I saw last night on Facebook but she certainly deserved an on camera sendoff.
