News for Wednesday, January 11th, 2017

• Some members of a national cable TV and satellite TV programming service named the FOX News Channel were broadcasting from a restaurant in the city of Mobile in southwest Alabama for one of the programs offered by their service ("FOX & Friends") this Wednesday (WALA-TV and WKRG-TV had reports about the broadcasts on at least one of their local news programs afterwards).

• Some advertisements for the position of managing WKRG-TV dated for this past Tuesday on the tenth day of this January were posted onto the official World Wide Web site for their holding (or "parent") company (Media General) and the official World Wide Web site for the Alabama Broadcasters Association (the position was usually held by a person named Mark Bunting in recent times).

• One of the hosts of a local TV program dedicated to entertainment and lifestyles that appeared on the main broadcast channel for WALA-TV this Wednesday (Joe Emer of "Studio 10") said "technical difficulties" prevented the program from being "on the air" (or on the channel) for part of its regular time period for being "on the air" from Monday through Friday (the hour of 9:00 a.m.) this past Tuesday on the tenth day of this January while introducing a recording of an interview (with a professional radio and TV announcer named Barry Silverman*) intended to be part of its time for being "on the air" that day (he said the segment was "taped"; as for what it was about, it was about a festival in Mobile named the Mobile Jewish Film Festival).

(*the announcer used to be a radio announcer and director of programming for a couple of radio stations based in Mobile named WABB-AM and WABB-FM)
