In Huntsville….is that WZDX, Fox 54?


WAAY

And he is mistaken about Montgomery. AMG owns Fox20 there, not WSFA.

WAAY 31 is a local ABC affiliate.
I don’t understand how this works. Does Allen media contract out these meteorologists to those stations?

Weather is a huge deal in north AL. I believe WAAY has Jeff Castle, Grace Anello, and Amber Kulic.

TWC went to shite when they demoted Heather Tesch. A gorgeous sweet woman. I’ve spoken with her before about her pets and love of animals



I’d speak with her about petting her little minx.

Allen owns the TV stations and every person there works for them. They have a contract with Fox to broadcast their programs.

Most TV stations are owned this way. A much smaller number are owned by the networks.

And Tupelo. WTVA is on that list. That's Matt Laubhan's weather room. He's one of the best in the business for severe coverage. His


Matt had a nice home built in the last year or two near the tv station. His wife is also employed at WTVA as the main news anchor. Tough spot to be in for their family.
