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.

Full circle.... McSweeny is retiring months before his former WTEN colleague Steve Caporizzo retires... Which you also mentioned.

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).

Angela Pace, apart of the fabric of Columbus Television News. From her time in the late 70s-early 90s at WCMH/NBC4 as anchor/reporter

to WBNS/10TV when she joined the station in 1992.  Anchor from 1993-2006 and then moved into the community service role for the station.
She will leave 10TV next week after 34 years at the station. TEGNA the parent company of 10TV has eliminated many positions company wide.

Here some articles from the Dispatch and wish her well!

After 35 years, RTV6 Chief Meteorologist Kevin Gregory is retiring. His last day will be at the end of February. Once he leaves, this will mark the first time since 1972 that a Gregory has not been one Indianapolis TV. His dad Bob Gregory was the long time chief meteorologist at WTHR.

It's sad to see her go but amazed that she got almost another two decades in her community service role for 10TV.

 

Tegna and other companies think they can cut their way to success with a once-proud station like 10TV.

Last Friday was Meteorologist Bree Smith's last day at WTVF (CBS Nashville). https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Ajj9P64YK/

 

I was about to post this because the news stunned me.

 

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).

So now all 2 hours of Judge Judy reruns are on WDCA from 4-6PM. And that means between 4am-7:30pm WTTG has a grand total of 2 syndicated shows (Sherri and Jennifer Hudson from 12pm-2pm).

 

A news-heavy, major-market TV station in the nation's capital? I don't see the problem.

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.

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.
  • Alissa Henry will fill in on traffic for McKee.

Malachi Rodgers is the new Chief Met. at WSPA-TV because Christy Henderson decided to leave after 21 years to transition over to a career in real estate.

 

She was a trailblazer as the state's first-ever woman Chief Meteorologist.

It wasn’t a gesture.  It was a Nazi salute. Let’s call it what it was. 

It absolutely was; the air quotes was me being facetious/poking fun of how the media isn’t really calling it what it is

Sadly we have too many defending what he did, calling it what it wasn't including Elise Stefanik.  The press needs to find its morals and call it out.

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.
