Re: Investigate TV on 5

Watched an episode online. Nice to see Caresse Jackman, but otherwise the graphics, set and music were awful. Basically a very low budget Dateline. Not surprising though. My expectation was very low. Another newscast at 3:00? I think the daytime airing of Jeopardy would pull in some better ratings a...

Good hire. He was one I remember watching in flint years ago and knew then he would do well.

Are they ever going to launch the weekend newscasts?

Re: Local news expansion

It’s profitable for WILX to expand their news because people watch WILX news. If people watched WEYI, it would be profitable for them as well. The problem is, they never got enough traction in the ratings to justify it. They’re better off airing syndicated.

Re: CW 50 to ditch The CW, return to independence

Might make sense to move Family Feud to prime time on 50 and move Entertainment Tonight from the graveyard shift to the 7pm hour on 62.

Re: Fox 2 Is Getting a New Weather Person

I don’t think they ever replaced that Mike guy that went to Fox Weather.

Re: Darnell Blackburn

Considering his background is law enforcement and not journalism, I think he is doing fairly well. Especially compared to when he first began (rough start for sure). I remember when Kim, who IS a journalist, was a little green and unpolished in the beginning. It happens to some who either did not h...

So if Ron is taking over weekend pm, where’s Sherman going? Is it just a matter of time before Brandon Roux leaves?

Re: ABC12 Jim Wyatt

I remember when Jim was a reporter at WEYI in the early 90s. About fifteen years later I was working retail when he came through my register. He was working as a photographer at WNEM at that time, but I recognized him immediately from his on air days. He seemed like a genuinely nice guy and was shoc...

Re: Grant Hermes Leaving Loco 4 for Boston

He was never my favorite, but far better than Priya. Why they have her anchoring is beyond me. Also Will Jones does not make a good anchor either. It seems like viewers on social media are growing tired of the revolving door at 4 and may start looking elsewhere. I’m curious to see if there’s any den...

Re: Hmmm,is the news drought at CBS62 about to come to an end?

I’m kind of bummed he’s gone. He annoyed me for awhile at first, but then I realized he’s probably a young kid that had a passion for the industry. I loved his optimism and excitement over the new cbs venture. It reminded me of myself when I was younger.

Vainglorious egomaniac?

Perfect description of David.

Wish he’d move on from TV5. I wonder if reports of his ego have prevented him from making the jump to the Detroit market.
I think lack of talent is preventing him from making the jump to the Detroit market.
