"The Bachelor:
Fall TV stuff
Thanks for the comments on "Shark," "Brothers & Sisters" and "Studio 60." I think all three will make it…. I really liked the second "Studio 60" last night, but worry that it was maybe too much inside TV stuff – the network press conference (been to many of those), the reference to Fox, the talk about small TV markets refusing to carry the show…
Did you like the second episode?
Did anyone like NBC’s "Heroes?" The characters interested me, but I thought they failed to connect enough dots for me. It will be interesting to see if viewers stick with it. (NBC repeats Monday’s pilot at

Radio note
I was surprised to hear WCIN-AM (1480) all the way up I-71 to the Little Miami River bridge. After a five-year wait, the FCC finally approve a power increase for WCIN-AM from 250 to 4,500 watts daytime. The power boost will make the station more attractive to potential buyers. The station was placed in receivership in January, so it can be sold to pay off debts more than $950,000. More details are in my story today:

Buy the Book
For you fans of "The Book of Daniel," the NBC drama quickly canceled last January about Aidan Quinn as a pill-popping minister: The entire series, including four episodes not aired by NBC, is being released on DVD today by Universal Studios Home Entertainment ($29.98). The 2-disc set includes the two-hour pilot and deleted scenes.

I became increasingly bored with the MNF tribute to New Orleans, so I flipped over and started watching Studio 60. I was recording it via DVR and I planned on watching it tonight. Anyway, I watched it and really enjoy the show. As someone who has been behind the scenes in tv and radio, I find it very enjoyable. This show is a nice change of pace from the CSI's and Law & Orders. Plus, the character development on this show is setup to go in a million different directions. So you can certainly see they have plenty to write about.
I am hoping The Unit gets better. Last weeks show was very weak in my mind. The show appears to struggle at times as to which direction it wants to go. Obviously, they have the main storyline with the unit, but the woman's storylines are awful. I suppose its the complete change of pace that they keep switching back and forth from. Hopefully it changes tonight.
Also, can you please help me out with something? How is it possible that the show "War At Home" is still on Sunday Nights? I DVR The Simpsons, American Dad and The Family Guy, but I never watch the War at Home. I saw it last year and it was terrible. I was just wondering what the ratings were for that show.
thanks and enjoy.
***BREAKING NEWS***
WLWT-TV/Ch. 5 Searching for New Chief Meteorologist
Jim O'Brien has been told his contract is not being renewed.
Any suggestions?
Joe Lizura!!!
Jim O'Brien leaving is not breaking news... I heard it over a week ago... I didn't know his contract wasn't being renewed though... I heard that Derek Beasly has already been named Chief... My suggestion if not would be to get Dave Fraser back from Denver... he was the best meteorologist 5 has had in years (next to Angelique Frame)
Heard they were "quietly" negotiating with another meteorologist in town at a different station.
That door with the big "5" on it, just can't stop revolving. Despite OB's shortcomings on the air, I've been told he's a great guy. But we all know what happens to nice guys, especially in broadcasting.
fraser would never set foot at wlwt again with the way he was treated besides he is very happy out in denver. so when is JoBs last day
hey how about dave fraser and his wife kathy(ellis)formerly of channel 9 as the first husband and wife weather team
Wow, Jim O'Brian is leaving....I am surprised. I never liked his style, but I thought most did. He annoyed me.
Now can we get rid of Steve Raleigh?
I was glad to see that Angelique Frame is working again in Sacramento. Looks like Greg McKinney didn't renew his contract in Spokane and they have moved to Sacramento. I really liked her and was angry over what Channel 5 did to her. Was so glad to see her on Channel 12.
I'm so glad that Jim O'Brien is leaving. I can stand to look at him if the tv is muted. He has one of the most annoying voices I've ever heard.
anyone know who the other meteorologist in town is that ch 5 may be talking to?
Did anyone else notice the blog went off on a tangent?
Maybe the author doesn't post on relevant topics??
steve norris.
I hear Suzanne "Ample Breasts" Horgan would be available for the chief job...
i've heard the norris speculation, too, but i thought he finally signed at ch. 9???
so where is greg mckinney working? and this blog never stays on topic that much but its fun to read anyway
watched news5 tonite and i dont know if it was just me or did they actually seem relaxed? and i like how direct you to their new web address of wlwt.com instead of channelcincinnati.com it reminds me of how 9 went from cincinow.com to cincinnati.com to just plain ol wcpo.com
yeah and candice the barbie doll hunter along with sheree as anchor was the best looking team in the tristate
What station in town HASN'T steve norris worked at??? He's been at 19, free-lanced at 5 for a bit before settling on 9. Why not go for the 12/64 slam dunk?
Norris' Notes: Find new job.
Can't say I'm surprised 5 is ushering someone else out the door. I'm sure Dave Wagner's next - he's been there too long and I'm sure they don't want to pay his price anymore when they can get younger, cheaper, ever-more disposable bodies.
Why on earth would anyone sign to be chief meteorologist at channel 5 when none has lasted longer than their initial contract? Tom Burse, Dave Frasier, Angelique Frame, Byron Weber, now Jim O'Brien? Seriously - has any lasted longer than one cycle?? Watch out Derek Beasley - you're days are numbered once you sign on that line. Get yourself some good outs!!!
And how are we supposed to take ANY channel 5 advertising seriously when they fire the tri-state's undisputed severe weather leader????
Hey, add WHIO to Norris' Notes. When he did the news with Cathy Ballou.....you know, that was a good morning show.
too bad about jim o'brien. he seems like a genuine person off the air, but what a tough break. hopefully, this kind of news about channel 5s revolving door goes all around the nation so they will get stuck with subpar talent and no ratings. isn't he supposed to be the "undisputed....trusted meteorlogist in the tristate?" that's like not renewing carson palmer's (the best QB in the NFL) contract for a QB to be named later. The head guys at channel 5 must be a bunch of boneheads. Either that or they have the mentality of the Fox News Channel when they just hire beautiful people to give us the news. Poor channel 5. What's it like to be at the bottom of the barrel?
Derek Beasley is not a no name. He has a reputation for his severe weather coverage and Hearst knows he will lead them to the top. I know first hand that Derek did not usher in this radical change, instead was just a beneficiary in the move. The morning numbers are solid, let’s give him a chance people.
THIS JUST IN
Former WLWT Chief Meteorologist Jim O'Brien has now been named Weekday Morning Meteorologist for WXIN in Indianapolis. I can get both Indy and Cincinnati channels and they are HEAVILY running promos with him in it. CONGRATS JIM!!!!!!
