News for Sunday, December 4th, 2016

  • One of the members of the local news operation at WPMI-TV (Kelly Foster) appeared to be substituting for one of its other members (Darwin Singleton) in the role of news presenter for the local news programs that appeared on their main broadcast channel during the morning and midday periods of this past Friday on the second day of this December ("Local 15 Today" and "Local 15 News at Noon") while one of its other members (Jake Dunne) appeared to be substituting for her in the role of weather reporter for those same programs (she said the one named Darwin Singleton was off that day in the first segment of the edition of the morning news program that appeared on the channel that day).  
  • The audio for the programming feed on one of the digital sub-channels for WKRG-TV was silenced by audio of a report of severe weather in their local broadcast area attributed to the National Weather Service while graphics related to the report (white text) appeared over the video for its programming feed (they appeared over the top-half of the video) whereas the audio for the programming feed on their main broadcast channel was still audible while different graphics related to the report (such as a map of the area where the severe weather was reportedly located and a ticker with text scrolling from right to left) appeared over the video for its own programming feed (they appeared near the bottom of the video).*
(*the sub-channel usually had programs from a national TV programming service named Memorable Entertainment Television (it also had the nickname Me-TV))
