Cyndy Brucato leaving KSTP
(6/30/10) Cyndy Brucato has announced that she plans to leave KSTP, again, at the end of the summer, but will continue to anchor the 6:30 p.m. newscast through the end of the Minnesota State Fair, according to a press release from the station.

For more information read the KSTP Press Release.
And Now There's Two
(6/7/10) Two choices for news at 4:30 in the morning! FOX9 expanded it's morning news to start at 4:30 a few weeks ago and now WCCO is following by starting their morning newscast at 4:30am. What do you think, is there really such a demand for news at 4:30 in the morning? The stations say they can make more money with advertisements by airing local news instead of national news or syndicated content. Express your opinion in the comment box below or in the Talk Box above.
Brien Kennedy New GM and Vice President of WCCO
(6/3/10) CBS/WCCO-TV has named Brien Kennedy the new Vice President & GM of WCCO-TV. Brien most recently Executive Vice President of Freedom Broadcasting and General Manager of WPEC-TV in West Palm Beach, FL. Before that he overlooked WFOR-TV, the CBS owned station in Miami. "Brien is fortunate to be inheriting a legacy station that has been well managed the past several years by Susan Adams Loyd. We sincerely thank Susan for her many contributions and wish her the best as she moves on to what we all hope will be an exciting and rewarding new chapter in her professional and personal life," said Peter Dunn, President of CBS Television Stations.

Robyne Robinson leaving FOX9
(5/11/10) FOX9's Robyne Robinson has said she is leaving the station to focus on her jewlery line, ROX Minneapolis. She is leaving after 20 years with KMSP, 14 of those years she has been anchoring the news with Jeff Passolt, they are currently the longest serving news anchor team in the Twin Cities. "It's bittersweet because I love this community," Robinson said. "I came here on a Greyhound bus with nothing and the Twin Cities embraced me. They watched me grow up and always had my back." "Robyne's influence goes well beyond the anchor desk because of her strong interest and involvement in the community and its issues", said VP General Manager KMSP/WFTC Carol Rueppel. "She's truly been an integral part of the Twin Cities for the past 20 years."Her last day is May 26th. Read more here.
Don Shelby Set to Retire
(5/11/10) WCCO's Don Shelby is expected to announce his retirement tomorrow (5/12/10). He is leaving after more than 30 years with WCCO.

He is expected to retire in November and Frank Vascellaro is expected to take over. Read more here.
WCCO Testing New News Format
(4/28/10) Don't know if anybody else noticed but yesterday at 6:00pm WCCO tested a stand up format for the newscasts instead of the traditional behind the desk style which WCCO has done in the past. They also made more use out of WCCO "The Wire" website throughout the newscast. Time will tell if this is going to become permanent for all of WCCO's newscasts. What do you think, put comments in the talk box, below, or vote in the poll.

Important Site Announcement
(11/21/09) For the past 2 and a half years I have been running Twin Cities TV Source from my home in the Twin Cities metro area. However in the recent months the time has been running out to keep the website continuously updated. I hope you guys can forgive me for that. However now as I start a new era of my life I am moving to a new city within the next month. I will try to continue to run the website from a distance. However I may not be able to cover it in as much detail or as in depth or as quickly as I would hope or as you guys would probably expect. So in the meantime I will continue to do my best at finding time and trying to continuously update the site and bring it up to standards with content, style, and layout. I also want to encourage you to please nominate and share ideas regarding the TCTVS Awards. See the details below on that. The past years have been great and I look forward to a even better 2010!

I do got some fall show news: "The Office" is coming in syndication to FOX9 and My29 and "My Name Is Earl" is coming to My29 also this fall. "The Office" will be airing at 9:30 on My29.

- Also Twin Cities Radio PPM ratings are available on the Radio Page. Not only is there the basic ratings but also demographic ratings and morning ratings.
With the current economy this question was kind of fitting for what has happened in other TV markets around the country. The question was: Which station would be the first to either cut newscasts in half or eliminate newscasts all together? (22)

- In other Twin Cities HD newscast news, I am hearing KSTP has purchased and has recieved some Panosonic HD Cameras for the newscasts. In addition I am hearing that they are converting the newsroom into a tapeless newsroom. Also with the HD cameras I am hearing from sources that KSTP has a new set in the works for the debut in HD. The expected time for KSTP to go HD is around June 15th.
- As fare as WCCO goes I am hearing two different reports on when they will go HD. I am hearing it could be as soon as the end of May. However a couple different sources are reporting around mid September as the time to offically HD.
- Also in site news, the former personalities list for most stations have been updated and moved to the individual station pages.
- I would also like to take a moment a thank everybody who took the Twin Cities TV Source Survey. I have looked a the responses and I now have more of an understanding of the demographic which visits and what is important to you. It will help me improve the way the site runs and the content that is provided. Again thank you for taking it, I appericate it very much.

KSTC to start 9:00pm News
(2/13/09) As mentioned as a rumor a couple months ago on TCTVS, KSTC 45 will be re-lanuching a new 9:00pm newscast in late spring or early summer, accroding to KSTC station manager Susan Wenz. Wenz says they will use resources of KSTP to produce the newscast with KSTP news director Lindsay Radford overseeing the news on both stations. "It will have its own look and feel to it, but it will clearly come out of the "5 Eyewitness" newsroom where they already have seasoned reporters and producers who will be working with our show," says Wenz. "We haven't really worked out how it's all going to be, but it's obvious that we'd try to use their talent and their expertise to provide our viewers with a great newscast." In case you were wondering Wenz says a national search is on for an anchor of the newscast, but it is not known yet if there will be one or two anchors for the newscast. "We just really believe there's enough of an audience there and enough of an
interest," says Wenz. "Certainly this is a huge news market big enough to accommodate a second 9 p.m. newscast."
(1/31/09) Will You Miss "On The Road"? (7)

Don't worry though Jason will still be a member of the Eyewitness News time, just now his stories will be seen at least twice a week on the 6:30pm newscast.
- Also the biggest story in Twin Cities media this week came yesterday when Clear Channel fired nearly two-dozen people from the Twin Cities building and 1.850 people at stations nationwide. A list of some of the confirmed people let go can be found on the radio page.

These will be our polls for the remainder of the year and you will be able to find these polls on the new awards page which will be created soon.

Rumor Report for KSTP & Poll Results
(11/13/08) Before I say it just want to say this has not been confirmed by anybody and is just a rumor, but you heard it here first if by chance it is true. Rumor has it that KUSA-TV Denver weeknight anchor Bob Kendrick could be on his way to KSTP to anchor a weekday newscast. This seems pretty fitting with the rumor that KSTP has plans to go HD and may be starting a 9:00pm news on KSTC 45 again. 9 News (KUSA) is the #1 rated news station in Denver. Bob is leaving KUSA at the end of November.

She then left the Hennepin County Jail later that afternnon on a $1,200 bond. This DWI was Beth's second in 15 months, and was sill on probation from an arrest back in 2007 which required no violations for four years. She will be charged this week. FOX9 is investigating it and won't comment beyond that. (Photo from KSTP.com)
- Also more breaking news from KSTP- there are rumors that KSTP has plans to become the Twin Cities' second HD news station after the election. Could this mean a new set and graphics?- Lets hope so. Keep in mind though it is November sweeps so if a new set is in the works odds are, KSTP will wait until December to move to a temporary set.
(10/31/08) As WCCOfan reported in the Talk Box, WCCO has named Mike Binkley as the new morning anchor, replacing Bill Hudson on WCCO This Morning. Mike will be paired along side current morning anchor Angela Davis who he worked with at KSTP on the morning show which was the Twin Cities #1 morning news and won many awards for it.

Mike Augustyniak Named WCCO Morning Meteorologist
(8/21/08) WCCO News Director Scott Libin has named Mike Augustyniak as the new meteorologist for WCCO This Morning. Mike comes from WRGB-TV in Albany, NY where he was meteorologist of CBS6 News at Noon and CBS6 News Weekends. "Mike is an energetic, engaging guy with an authentic enthusiasm you can't miss," Libin said. "One of his many attributes is that he talks about weather in ways that are meaningful and memorable to those of us who aren't scientists. He's also a bonafide weather geek –- and I mean that in the most flattering sense of the word." Read WCCO's Press Release here: http://wcco.com/press/mike.augustyniak.meteorologist.2.800021.html

Thank you for visiting the site and a big thank you to our loyal visitors and you know who you are over the past 2 + years. If any of you would like to take over the website please let me know: firstname.lastname@example.com .

Everything will re-main as is so it will be here at least until someone maybe takes over the site. Thank you once again for visiting the site for the past 2+ years.

Rumor Report and Poll Results
(6/5/08) The following is a rumor- it is not confirmed by the station or the person involved so therefore it may not be true but just in case it is you heard it first at TCTVS.
- Rumor has it around the area that Paul Magers was seen hanging around with Rob Hubbard owner of Hubbard Broadcasting which owns channel 5. So basically it's rumored that Paul Magers may be on his way out of LA and back to the Twin Cities as lead anchor at Channel 5. When Paul came to KCBS-TV in Los Angeles they were in last place and today they have the #1 newsroom in Los Angeles. So maybe he could do the same for channel 5.
- Also the poll results for the question: Which station does the best servere weather coverage? We had 18 answers and here they are:
- Check out the new game called "Which Do You Prefer?" located on the forum.
Poll Results
(5/26/08) Which station do you think will win the May 2008 overall? We had 12 answers and here they are:
Don Moldenhauer leaves KARE11 and FOX at 5 & 5:30 Screencaps

Poll Results
(5/14/08) Which is your favorite non-news station? We had 4 answers and here are the results:

New Reporters at KSTP
(5/6/08) Look for a couple new reporters to hit the airwaves over at channel 5 soon.
- Elizabeth Ries comes from WBAY-TV (ABC-Green Bay, WI)
- Bay Scroggins comes from WZVN-TV (ABC- Fort Myers, FL)
- Maggie Newland comes from WBBH-TV (NBC - Fort Myers,FL)
Rod Simons leaving KSTP?
(5/2/08) Sources are reporting today that KSTP Sports Director will not be re signing with KSTP when his contract expires in October. KSTP News Director Lindsey Radford said "When we look at hiring our next main sportscaster we have to find someone who can make sports relevant to the average news viewer. That has to go beyond just giving highlights and scores, because those can come from anywhere." Radford also stated "The challenge is to make sports not only creative but interesting to the regular viewer, and that means adding personality to sports and personal stories without turning it into a feature segment. That balance is something we are debating right now. We are not there yet."
- Radford has started to look at tapes of sports anchors including KSTP sports anchors Anne Hutchinson and Ryan Kibbe. So in KSTP's next sports director look kind of for the goofy type of kind of like Eric Perkins at KARE11. Radford also stated that hiring a former pro sports star wouldn't be out of the question.
Chris Shaffer Makes 69 Joke On-Air
(5/1/08) On WCCO News at Noon- meteorologist Chris Shafer made a joke about new Vikings player Jared Allen. Allen will be #69 on the team and at the time the temp was 69. Then Chris went on to say that they would get 69 sacks. However some people thought they heard a different word. WCCO News Director Scott Libin says "He clearly said sacks". Well maybe even Chris doesn't know what he said for sure, but it has made him a hit on You-Tube. Watch the video and decide for yourself: http://youtube.com/watch?v=1m718yE9UUk

Paul Douglas's Reaction & More Info on the Departure
(4/6/08) Well this seems to be the biggest thing to happen to Twin Cities TV this year, it's all over the papers and internet. We posted the Star Tribune's article but here are some other articles from around the internet, which includes statements from Paul himself.
> Twin Cities.com: http://www.twincities.com/ci_8812260?source=most_viewed
> Viewer & Reader Comments: http://www.topix.net/forum/source/twincities-pioneer-press/T3C24PB15H4NCUGV3
> KARE11.com: http://www.kare11.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=503302
Poll on this topic is coming on Monday.
(4/4/08) WCCO-TV has offically released that Chief Meteorologist Paul Douglas will not be returning to the station. Here is the article from the Star Tribune's Neal Justin:
"Paul Douglas, WCCO's longtime weatherman, was released today from the station as part of a nationwide purge of CBS employees, a wide-ranging, dramatic response to a sluggish economy and steep competition for the Internet, which have caused ad rates and audiences to dwindle. Douglas, who also serves as a Star Tribune columnist, joins at least five WCCO employees, including weekend anchor John Reger, who were told their services were no longer needed. They have plenty of company. More than 100 employees at CBS's 29 owned TV stations were cut, a lis at the CBS-owned station to get their walking papers. CBS's 29 owned TV stations made cut more than 100 positions, including many high-profile, high-paying personalities like WBBM's top female anchor, Diane Burns in Chicago, and KPIX San Francisco mainstay Rick Quan. At first glance, it appears that the Twin Cities got off easy. Douglas's departure wasn't announced until today because he was out of town visiting a sick relative. He will no longer be appearing on the air. It's more than likely that more cuts are on the way."
KARE11 leads at 6 & 10pm in February

Saturday, October 13, 2012
STATESBORO, Ga. (AP) -- Dominique Swope rushed for two touchdowns and 137 yards to lead the throwback Georgia Southern offense, which netted all of its 265 yards on the ground and didn't attempt a single pass, as the Eagles beat Wofford 17-9 Saturday night.
The Eagles (5-1, 4-1 Southern Conference) came in second nationally in rushing offense at 437 yards per game -- they've thrown just 33 passes all season -- but performed well under their average mark and still secured the win. Wofford totaled just 17 fewer yards than the Eagles, and also forced the game's only turnover, but were just 4-for-15 on third down.
The Terriers (5-1, 3-1) were up 6-0 in the second quarter before Swope's 4-yard TD rush gave Georgia Southern a 10-6 lead before halftime. The Eagles led the rest of the way, getting a 3-yard TD from Swope in the fourth to pad the advantage.

Cellcom GSM, Corporate Communication Strategist Dr. Kimmie Weeks yesterday announced that the company has significantly dropped its tariffs for GPRS/Edge internet.
Dr. Weeks made the disclosure at a news conference held in Monrovia. He said the new rates are geared towards affording ordinary Liberians the opportunity to browse the internet at a very low cost all day, week and month.
He indicated that the new rates make Cellcom the service provider of the lowest rates for internet services in the country. He said the move will have a positive impact on Liberians across the country.
"What is exciting about this GPRS/Edge is that it works with any phone that has internet capability, so customers do not have to have a smart phone to enjoy the benefits," Dr. Weeks narrated.
He said subscribers could benefit from the GPRS/Edge by using a regular Cellcom SIM and that the new tariff is not a short term promotion, instead, it reflected the company's long term tariff rates.
Dr. Weeks however said the new low rate for GPRS/Edge is intended for those using the ordinary Cellcom SIM Card (2G) and not user on the 4G network.
He maintained that the new Cellcom internet rates are now priced US$1 per day, US$6 per week and US$20 per month, among others.
"With these new rates, everybody across the country including market women, school going children, youth, workers, among others, will have access to affordable internet almost anywhere they are in the country; that the social impact of this new measure is incredible," Dr. Weeks emphasized.
The launch of the new rates for internet comes in the wake of a long series of Cellcom promotions aimed at making telecommunication affordable to Liberians.

I'm looking for technical info on the Kenwood TKM-707, and also have some to pass on to those interested.
I know how to allow this superb marine radio to transmit on all ham bands 160 - 12m (but not 10m), all modes AM/USB/LSB/CW, so if you want to know how, send me an email.
I also have the schematic, but unfortunately it's too poor to copy.
What I am looking for is info from the Service Manual - especially the info on keypad commands. I'd also like to find the complete PA assembly, as mine is missing!

Austin, Tex (PRWEB) October 21, 2007
The SimSci-Esscor (http://www.simsci-esscor.com) unit of Invensys Process Systems demonstrated its comprehensive simulation and modeling solutions for refinery assets at the National Petroleum & Refiners Association Q&A and Technology Forum, held recently in Austin. In addition to its complete line of plant modeling and optimization, operator training, and process simulation suites, Invensys also highlighted its two latest offerings to the oil & gas industry. One, the SimSci-Esscor SIM4ME Portal, enables personnel to build and access powerful plant simulations via a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, without programming. The other new product, the SimSci-Esscor Material Balance Module of ARPM, converts error prone process data to consistent, reliable flow-sheets.
In addition to demonstrating its new software solutions, SimSci-Esscor personnel participated also in the following other show-related activities:
"Advanced simulation and modeling enables refiners to squeeze maximum output from existing assets and to plan and implement expansions faster. By bringing some of such functionality to Excel spreadsheets we enable greater, more strategic enterprise-wide collaboration in improving asset availability and utilization.

Just when the retailer was enjoying a resurgence in popularity by making its clothing more hip, it is now coming under fire for airbrushing the hips off its models.
As reported by Jezebel, the Ann Taylor Web site features a bevy of beauties who seem to have been PhotoShopped to scary-skinny proportions.
The label's $119 Petite Watercolor Print Sheath Dress is worn by a wasp-waisted woman with shoulders so broad they'd make the "Jersey Shore" guys jealous. (Interestingly, the page and offending image had been removed from the Ann Taylor site as of press time.) Elsewhere, a Chiffon Trim Tank appears on a long, lean torso of Olive Oyl proportions, and the company takes skinny jeans a little too literally.
Ann Taylor's models are so fat-free, in fact, that even their fabrics bear no bulges: A Necklace Trim Tank Top fits so smoothly over a pair of white jeans that the ensemble looks like a Spandex bodysuit. And a Petite Silk Camp Shirt seems to melt into the waistband of the model's pants without so much as a wrinkle or pucker.
While a rep for the company did not respond as of press time, StyleList hopes Ann Taylor will throw the clothing industry a curve by keeping their alterations to a minimum and showing that beauty isn't measured by the inch.
Scary-skinny retouching is nothing new -- remember what happened with Ralph Lauren?

Motif Investing essentially allows its customers to create their own exchange-traded funds around themes, CEO Hardeep Walia says.
One of the biggest upsides to the downturn in housing has been a surge in demand for apartments. That resulted in a strong rise in rents and a big drop in vacancies over the past few years, as investors rushed to build more supply. Now, just as that supply is about to come on line, demand appears to be weakening.
Take a look at some of Wednesday's midday movers:

Cramer makes the call on viewers' favorite stocks.
The week was a mixed bag of economic and market news, most of it on the negative side. Oil prices continued to hit record highs, the market officially entered bear territory and the European Central Bank socked it to the U.S. by raising rates a quarter-point. Despite all of this, CNBC guests found bright spots in steel, financials, tech and international stocks.

Holly enjoys a Noordhoek Sunset
Holly enjoys a Noordhoek sunset from my garden, while the sun has started moving back on its course until it will disappear behind Chapman's Peak until around 15 November 2013.
Holly enjoys a Noordhoek Sunset
Well, it's not only Holly who enjoys the Noordhoek sunsets South of Cape Town, South Africa – we all do! We won't find this year's fashionable emerald green in the sky, but the finest hues of pinks, purples and blues and often a symphony of liquid gold!
Time to sit on the verandah or right on the rocks or in the soft sand on the beach and watch it sink into the Atlantic Ocean – sipping something cool and delicious and just… Being! Perfect to let go and connect with Nature's flow – it's the best we can do anyway!
Good Evening from Noordhoek
Good Evening from Noordhoek and have a Happy Sunday!

Well if you check the posts i made in the previous forum you would see that i had the same opinion back then too...i watched Fatmagul because i liked the story of the girl recovering...i never agreed on love story in this dizi,that's why i lost my interest in the second season..
As you read here i told my opinion only for FIRST EPISODE and i made that clear many times....Mustafa(and not Engin) is tyrant in the first and second episode..i don't know if he has psychological problems or if he regrets and becomes a saint later..
I don't know if it was my mistake to post my opinion in this thread....
Ok it is your choice what you want to watch and you have your opinion and you express your opinion and we all express only our opinion. If you don't want to watch the series then you will not watch you don't have to listen to us and our opinion. I mean I don't like Sila and I will not watch the series allthough many others watch the series and have an other opinion about the series. I don't like it.
