Conversations in Broadcasting #12

The local news program that appeared on the main broadcast channel for WALA-TV during the first half of the hour of 10:00 p.m. on the Thursday of the nineteenth day of this April for the calendar year 2018 ("FOX 10 News at 10:00 p.m.") appeared to have had this conversation between its news presenters (Byron Day and Shelby Myers):

Byron Day: Tonight was the big one for two of our own.

Shelby Myers: That's right, anchor Lenise Ligon and reporter Kati Weis participated in the Little Black Dress event. This is one of the gulf coast's most popular fashion shows -- look at her go -- the event benefits the Ronald McDonald House charities of Mobile

Byron Day: That's Kati. During the show, the guests enjoyed a cocktail party featuring Mobile's top area chefs. Money raised helps provide a supportive home environment to families with seriously ill and injured children being treated at Mobile area hospitals

Shelby Myers: Congrats to both ladies -- they looked absolutely beautiful.

Byron Day: Didn't they look good -- except for that guy.

One of the parts of the local news program that appeared on the main broadcast channel for WKRG-TV during the first half of the hour of 12:00 p.m. on the Tuesday of the first day of the month of May for this calendar year ("WKRG News 5 at Noon") appeared to have had this conversation between its news presenter (Devon Walsh) and its weather reporter (John Nodar) immediately after appearing on the channel in that period of time that day:

Devon Walsh: Welcome back. The hunter becomes the hunted -- this is such a cool photograph: a man recently took these images of an osprey with a fresh kill flying hundreds of feet in the air in Florida's gulf coast -- and John, he knew he'd gotten great shots, but when he looked at them on his computer, he realized those shots got even better"
 
John Nodar: Right, he noticed that the prey which he thought was a fish was in fact a small shark and then he saw the shark also had something clinched in its jaws, a small fish -- so a kind of double payday for the osprey".

Devon Walsh: I mean -- what an incredible photograph to get back to your computer and realize what you captured. That apparently -- that's been shared thousands of time on social media.

John Nodar: Our producer said "turducken" -- the, uh, wild game version.
   
Devon Walsh: Yes, there you go. All right, well N'synch fans said bye bye bye to waiting for a reunion yesterday. The band  Members got together to unveil their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

John Nodar: Right, of course they'd burst into the music scene in the late nineteen nineties and stole the hearts of millions of teen-age girls and now they're all in their late thirties and forties and, uh, you could call them, ala Gilligan's Island, Justin Timberlake and the rest.

Devon Walsh: I know and I'm looking there because -- I can't see if Jus -- yes, Justin Timberlake is there. He was actually there for the unveiling -- you can see the other members, of course Justin Timberlake has gone on to, uh, gosh, I mean worldwide fame of his own, but I remember when they came on the scene as N'synch   I mean, everybody loved them, everybody wanted to do their dances and their songs.

John Nodar: Say what you will about boy bands  but N'synch had dozens of singles and multi-platinum albums.

Devon Walsh: Mmm-hmm. Yeah, it was a great band at the time. Absolutely. Thanks for joining us, everybody. We'll see you back here tonight for 'News 5 at 5'.
