TheRolyPoly 2658 Posted February 11 Posted February 11 Might as well be Shannon Miller anchoring WVIT's weekday morning news permanently as Heidi Voight announces that's she not going back to the morning show... or to WVIT. She's out. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1162575215224164&id=100044150903680 1

She’s been anchoring solo for a while while Heidi has been out. Wonder if they will pair someone with Shannon. There is a new news/sports reporter with prior morning news anchoring experience - David Horwitz, maybe we’ll see him in the anchor chair soon. Seems odd to have a solo anchor from 4:30-7am, but 4 anchors for 4-6:30pm 1

TheRolyPoly 2658 Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Forgive me for the link to the source.

NowBergen 717 Posted February 13 Posted February 13 33 minutes ago, TheRolyPoly said: If I'm reading this correctly, they sound like they'll be live as this is L.A. after all. It's ambiguous, just like when they started up the 8pm on WWOR. I hope you are right for both 8&9. Once launched we will know for sure. 1
MD TV 287 Posted February 14 Posted February 14 The article says they eventually want to do all news, all day and night for Fox O&O duopoly markets. DC is basically there, with only 4.5 hours of non-local content on WTTG between 4am and midnight, plus a live 8pm hour newscast on WDCA. 1
TheRolyPoly 2658 Posted February 14 Posted February 14 WVIT doesn't have a weekday morning co-anchor yet to replace Heidi Voight, but they have now announced a new weekend morning anchor: Taylor Kinzler, transitioning away from their lifetime show, CT Live. https://www.facebook.com/TaylorKinzler/posts/pfbid0hSacLsYsf3WCdYidZ8fneZU2owkS9cU9fZQxhiQdoQTjAd5vLn57c1TzAFPG8prgl 1

In the same press release on Taylor Kinzler’s new role is the announcement of Eddie Randall (KSN-TV) as new co-anchor of NBC CT Today weekdays along side Shannon Miller. 1
TheRolyPoly 2658 Posted February 14 Posted February 14 Oh didn't know that. Sorry I jumped the gun on that one. However, I do have this one. One longtimer at WOWT will replace another (already announced retirement) longtimer at WOWT. A very well deserving pick too...

TheRolyPoly 2658 Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Wren Clair is out at KSTP-TV and I can tell it was not her choice in doing so. https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-lifestyle/meteorologist-wren-clair-no-longer-employed-by-kstp?fbclid=IwY2xjawIdXKdleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHSr_8XEzY0KNwecGKsApa72hfimOkfU8G6e3nZwQkeBPTt70N7QPeq-LzA_aem_BrXb6wbESY6v9xZlp9MOHg 1
TheRolyPoly 2658 Posted February 17 Posted February 17 After over two decades at WTVD, most of that anchoring mornings and with now-retired John Clark, Barbara Gibbs won't have to wake up as early as she has been. She's transitioning to their noon and 4:00 p.m. newscasts with Amber Rupinta. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGLNXqsKVIV/?igsh=MXZrZXQ2dW0xM215cA== 1 1
TheRolyPoly 2658 Posted February 18 Posted February 18 I posted on the Gray Media thread on WWAX, the Hartford home for carrying four Boston Red Sox spring training games this year. I just found out that it is in partnership with NESN (no surprise there) and that there are others too who will be carrying their games with the most surprising to me: Boston's WHDH. WHDH Boston (The sister to MY favorite, WSVN Miami) WYCI Burlington (WCAX's sister) WPXT Portland (WMTW's sister; only carrying two out of the four) Those in Bangor, Presque Isle, Springfield, and my third home market, Providence/New Bedford, are out of luck. No OTA coverage there but instead will have to watch via NESN or their OTT platform, NESN 360. https://nesn.com/2025/02/nesn-announces-2025-red-sox-spring-training-broadcast-schedule/ 3
TheRolyPoly 2658 Posted February 20 Posted February 20 WUPA no longer airs weeknight news at 8 p.m. No more primetime news in Atlanta (8-10 p.m.) for the first time since 2017. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/valenciajones3_its-the-end-of-a-news-era-at-atlanta-69-activity-7296356718542749696-hgXu?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_android&rcm=ACoAABqGw-0BrOQ_9csrv95OAtvM37gqLkE_dSc 2 1

TheRolyPoly 2658 Posted February 21 Posted February 21 A true legend in this business is soon leaving us for retirement: WHIO-TV's Cheryl McHenry after nearly 44 years.

TheRolyPoly 2658 Posted February 25 Posted February 25 (edited) Time to add another name to the expanding list of TV news retirements this year: KWTV's Dean Blevins. 1400 KREF's Toby Rowland is coming back full-time (he was part-time as an analyst for their Sunday night Oklahoma Sports Blitz) to become sports director. https://www.facebook.com/NEWS9/posts/pfbid023i1pziMhHtkiynjYD2HuwYz6QA83afT5rW9MGF1DceP8tTgqeeLMyPbwiEaU78bBl EDIT: I have to add another one.
