only because of Keir’s resignation, it’s not a regularly scheduled simulcast.

Nolan now says he didn’t resign live on air, and it was just his goodbye speech, which was pre-planned.

Quite a cheeky way to announce your new local sports rights:

Also on their social media avatars and across different headlines - the latter might not be the best decision when there’s serious news

Breaking news being reported by the Radio and TV Business Report: seven Nexstar CBS affiliates are about to lose their affiliation deals with the network, and moving to digital subchannels. Four of the stations are owned by Hearst, and are located in Albuquerque, Jackson, Birmingham and the Greenville-Spartanburg-Asheville market, where Hearst already has ABC and CBS affiliates. The other three, located in the Dakotas, are owned by Forum Communications Company, and are being placed on a subchannel of the ABC affiliates in Minot and Bismarck, and its NBC affiliate in Rapid City.

The changes are effective next week, on August 1.

UPDATE: Nexstar has confirmed the switches, whilst also announcing a renewal of most of its existing contracts with CBS. KRQE is being promoted to Fox (which is already on the second subchannel), whilst the other stations will be moving to the co-owned CW network. (Per Deadline)

UPDATE 2: Another affiliation switch announced. The non-news-producing Sinclair ABC affiliate KDNL is losing its affiliation too. ABC is moving to the second subchannel of Gray CBS affiliate KMOV (First Alert 4) on Labor Day. Along with ABC programming, they are simulcasting news programming from the station in the designated local timeframes.

Not a huge fan of having so much on the screen all the time. Seems to be the norm now for news channels.

You’d hate Indian news channels. Boy oh boy do they fling a lot of stuff at you.

It feels like they’re trying to dissect the happenings inside the Oval Office, but repeated topics across headlines and panelists — Blanche, low-keying re Iran — in the first two blocks kinda slow its pace…

Fox 2 Accuses Fired Anchor Taryn Asher of ‘Unprofessional Workplace Behavior and Outbursts’

Fox 2 is accusing fired anchor Taryn Asher of “unprofessional workplace behavior and outbursts” in a court filing in response to her federal lawsuit in Detroit alleging sex discrimination in the workplace.

The 63-page filling suggests Asher’s alleged misconduct on the job resulted in her firing and was “similar to that” behavior involving a warning and a suspension on Dec. 13, 2023.

Sources tell Deadline Detroit that Asher was suspended in 2023, at least in part, for being disrespectful to her supervisor during the filming of a public service announcement ad in the studio. A video of that incident reviewed by Deadline Detroit shows Asher referring to her supervisor as a “bitch.” It’s unclear from the video if her supervisor was still in the room.
