With Brody and Alyssa gone, it appears WXMI may have a shortage of news anchors. This week their morning news hasn't been starting until 5am. Yet their "here's what you missed" promos for the morning news still say "starting at 4:30am". In the 4:30am timeslot, the parent company Scripps produced New...

Well my prediction was nowhere near accurate. Erik posted on his FB page today that he will be on Weather Nation, which from what I can tell is a Denver based streaming service with programming in the style of what The Weather Channel used to be.

Did Bill work at a station in a different market before landing at WZZM back in 1975? My guess is he will retire when he hits 50 years in TV (either general or West Michigan).

Scripps owned WSYM Fox 47 would make sense as they just recently started an in house news division (previously outsourced to WILX NBC-10). It is where Fox17 weekend anchor Sarah Grimmer wound up. Presently, all five of WXMI's meteorologists are listed on Fox47News.com. My understanding is they curre...

While she hasn't said publicly yet where she is going, some comments on her FB page point to Scripps owned WSYM Fox 47 in Lansing. Seems odd going to a smaller market but according to Wikipedia, WSYM moved production of its newscasts back in house earlier this year (after outsourcing to WILX NBC 10)...

Isn't Laura originally from this area? Wondering if she wanted to return to her roots.

Dumb question, but for those of us who don't know, who is Scott Winters?

Was part of the Q Morning Zoo on WKLQ around 20 years ago, then part of the GRD morning show, later WOOD-FM with fellow former KLQ and GRD morning show personality Rick Beckett. Now on WFGR in the afternoons.

Ty Shesky made a FB post stating today was his last day at the station. The main point was that he and his wife of six months had been living and working 2 hours apart (GR and the Saginaw area) and that he was taking a non-TV job in that area. But he also stated it would be a virtual last day as he ...

Watched News 3 this evening mainly out of curiosity on the new set. Alot of copycat elements. Monitors on the front of the desk like 8, couch area like 13 and 17, monitor matrix wall like 8 and 17, anchors stand like 13. What caught my eye most was at the end of the newscast. Besides the copyright, ...

I did see a Facebook post from meteorologist Erik Kostrzewa showing the new look. The icons for the 7 day forecast look alot like what 13 used the last time I watched that public access level newscast. The morning news on Sunday still has the old look. Although the blue background stripe for lower t...

Traffic reporter also changed on WCSG.

Does anyone know how long did the bars and tone stayed up? I flipped back as late as 7 minutes past the hour and the 10 oclock news had still not started.

Curious is Susan was wearing a lapel mic or using her computer's built in microphone. Forget what reporter at Fox 17 it was that bad audio during his/her first few at home report days but then I noticed a major improvement and also saw a lapel mic. Want to say it was Candace Montacelli (sp?) but I m...

Why would anyone watch 13 instead of 8 or 17? Is there anything ZZM excels at?

Coming in last place

We know Alana Nehring and Aaron Ofseyer both left WZZM (and Tenga) on their own with Aaron's FB post making it sound like management was a big factor in his decision to leave. Kamady's FB post makes it sound like she was terminated. Wonder how long before George, Juliet and Catherine are shown the d...
