Re: News 8 at 4pm
News 8 is getting closer to making their old slogan "24 Hour" a reality. I took a look at a typical weekday schedule on their website and added in the upcoming changes taking effect September 12 (News 8 @ 4 replacing Ellen and Days of Our Lives moving to Peacock, being replaced with an afternoon nat...

Re: Fox 17 Launching 7pm Weekday Show
the funny thing is the program guide for YouTube TV still shows Newsfeed at 4:30am. When it began as "Coronavirus: The Rundown" it seemed overkill to have a 30 minute daily program on the topic given it already just about the only thing the local and network newscasts were talking about. Will be int...

Re: Old school TV 8 promotional videos from 1984
Cool to see the old promos surprised that WOTV/WoodTV aired prime Wheel in the first few years as I thought it was always WZZM in the 80s until WWMT took Wheel & Jeopardy combo in 93. I knew NBC aired morning/afternoon Wheel in the 80s. Also surprised to see Phil Don & Sally in the promo as I thoug...

Re: another departure from Fox17 Weather department
Detroit is a possibility given Anthony is from that area. I had two other thoughts cross my mind: One other possiblity is Las Vegas. His brother John was a reporter at WOOD-TV and is now at KTNV. Interestingly, KTNV is a Scripps owned ABC affiliate on Virtual Channel 13. But it seems if he was stayi...

Re: Meghan Bunchman hired at woodtv
I remember her. She was definitely lousy. So it didn't surprise me when GVSU hired her as an adjunct given quality level of some of the professors I had there.

Re: Fox 17 commercial break
I remember reading on their website that 17's switcher was on the friz. They ran a syndicated episode of Dateline NBC at 10pm and then started another at 11, interupting around 11:15 for a delayed newscast. Wonder if they only ran 30 minutes and then used 15 minutes of filler to get back on schedule...

Sinclair's WWMT hit by ransomware
Happened to see a Facebook post that News 3 Sunday Morning did not air due to what they called "technical difficulties". Just read on a Facebook group that Sinclair's corporate network got hit with a ransomware attack over the weekend. No TelePrompts, video servers or graphics. Some stations worked ...

Re: Morning shows,
Totally agree. Been watching News 8 Daybreak as well, although for me it is because 17 pushed the start time back from 4:30 to 5:00. I usually am heading out the door around 5:00. Plus their 4pm newscast is not that great with the new format. I've found Judge Judy to be more entertaining viewing for...
