MediaZone4K 1991 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) On 1/6/2025 at 8:23 PM, TheRolyPoly said: KNTV was probably the longest stop in Terry McSweeney's long and legendary career. He retired last night after a twelve-year run there and more than four decades in journalism, with stops at KTXL, WPBF, KSAZ, WTEN, and even KGO along the way before rejoining KNTV for the second time. He was also there from 1987 to 1995. https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/nbc-bay-area-longtime-anchor-terry-mcsweeney-retires/3752027/ Full circle.... McSweeny is retiring months before his former WTEN colleague Steve Caporizzo retires... Which you also mentioned. Glitch...

TheRolyPoly 2112 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 A South Texas staple is about to hang up one career for another. Rudy Trevino is retiring as a news anchor at KIII Corpus Christi tomorrow and will trade in that career for one in education at Texas A&M Univ.-Kingsville as their new Professor of Practice and director of a future academic center focused on collecting and studying Tejano music and media. He WILL remain with KIII though to continue to host Domingo Live, a show he's hosted for the past 23 years now. I didn't know until now that he also does a radio show as host and executive producer of the nationally syndicated Tejano Gold Countdown radio show that has been a Tejano music staple for going on 30 years (according to the TA&M Kingsville release). https://www.kiiitv.com/article/news/local/rudy-trevio-to-join-texas-am-kingsville-continue-as-domingo-live-host/503-181bb469-5105-4970-8a8d-aad2191f5f76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tegna and other companies think they can cut their way to success with a once-proud station like 10TV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nashville now lost its status as being the only market where all four chief meteorologists... were female (Danielle Breezy, Chief at WKRN; Lisa Spencer, Chief at WSMV; Bree Smith, "Chief" at WTVF (quotes loosely since they never had an official chief ever since Ron Howes retired), and Katy Morgan, Chief at WZTV).

Yes DC has always had strong, legendary news stations. Back in the day on WRC you had Jim Vance, Doreen Gentzler, Bob Ryan, George Michael and Arch Campbell. And WUSA featured Gordon Peterson, Maureen Bunyeon and Warner Wolf. And WJLA had Renee Poussaint. Great talent back in the day.

TheRolyPoly 2112 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 A temporary lineup shuffle is coming at WSYX starting Monday (Ohio State plays against Notre Dame for the CFP Championship that day). TL;DR: Jessica Ralston will anchor the nightly news at 5:00, 6:00, 10:00, and 11:00 until a replacement is named (she'll eventually go back to Good Day Columbus). Katie McKee will fill in for Ralston.

nathannah 2322 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 And of course it was because Dan O'Donnell threw another temper tantrum about 'free speech for me but not for thee'. These stations just have to stop listening to these cranks because the only thing they're good for these days is outrage. I didn't even know she had an Instagram account, so this was her personal one, not anything connected with the station. Godawful situation that should have been a quiet suspension at the very most, and our X-obsessed man is a private citizen with no government power. She should not have been fired, and these news orgs are turning 'balanced views journalism', meant to deal with little things like football lights at the high school stadium and road expansions through neighborhoods, into a punchline. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
