Tegna’s WKYC (Cleveland) has cut ties with Reporter Bryant McCray after one year.

WKYC is really cleaning house, including recent hires who didn't seem to last very long

I think Tegna is moving 3 to the news hub system where newscasts will originate out of a central or regional hub with little live actually coming from the local studios and Cleveland is not going to be one of those hubs.
Scripps is also said to be moving in that direction with 5 also not being a hub location.

Maybe these stations can sell their cameras. The don't seem to be needing them much longer.

He's a freelancer who does fill in work all over the state, including on channel 3's Tegna sister station WBNS CBS 10 in Columbus.

It's gonna be an interesting week or two ‐‐ strong rumors going on that Nexstar will be buying the Tegna stations soon. That would mean a possible WJW/WKYC merger. And with all the meteorologists at both stations, who knows what will become of the weather staffs.

It's a done deal. And yes, Mike was just filling in.

Local TV news is a mess. I only catch the weather after it's posted on WKYC's YouTube page.

How can they do that? They already have WJW and WBNX.

WBNX is not an affiliate of the Big 4 networks. They are just an independent channel. A MyTV, Ion or CW affiliate is considered a minor network

There is a certain person in the White House who wants to eliminate all cross ownership restrictions for broadcast stations, radio and TV. If that happens, get ready for 2 companies to own every station in town.
