Nice new music and graphics package on WNYT NewsChannel 13 newscasts. Very sleek and contemporary.

Good wishes to meteorologist Waneik Martinez Martinez, who's moving on from Albany's WNYT NewsChannel 13.

Sorry to see that media critic #GaryDeeb has passed. Based first in Buffalo, then Chicago, he was a forerunner for many others. I had read his work often.

Sad to see actress #BarbaraFerris has passed. She was "the girl" in the movie meant to be The Dave Clark Five's answer to The Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night," 1965's "Having a Wild Weekend" (by "Deliverance" director John Boorman). She also was known from TV's "Coronation Street."

#FBI moves to its new Monday slot on CBS tonight -- pitting it against the weekly night of the show's repeats on iontv, which I suspect may shift to another night before new episodes resume in the fall. FBI Wolf Entertainment

Liking the new look and sound of WNYT NewsChannel 13's newscasts more and more, the more I see and hear them. Those decisions aren't made lightly, since they're pricey, and the station will be staying with them for some time. Well done!

Fantastic casting news: One of my favorite performers and people, Maggie Lawson, is joining Donnie Wahlberg on the forthcoming CBS and Paramount+ #BlueBloods spinoff #BostonBlue.

No surprise that Tom Tom Llamas is hitting the ground running on his first night ax permanent NBC Nightly News with Tom Llamas weeknight anchor. He's been doing this a long time, and he knows the job. It's the title that's new, and he's been smart and humble in assuming it. Good wishes to him.

#FBIMostWanted still had a lot of juice (as did #FBIInternational, for that matter). One of its best episodes, about a beauty pageant, is being repeated tonight; sorry the show is over. CBS Paramount+ Wolf Entertainment

A sad departure, but not a surprise, since Tessa Bentulan was bound to get other opportunities. The reporter leaves Albany's WNYT NewsChannel 13 later this week; she has worked hard during her time here, particularly on the station's "13 Investigates" franchise. Best wishes and thanks to her!

On what would have been his 100th birthday, #TonyCurtis will be remembered by TCM tonight with several of his movies. The lineup includes some very famous attractions that were milestones for Curtis as well as for the film industry in general. A preview: facebook.com/share/p/14snmH…

In a week of many changes at the station, congratulations to Paul Caiano, Christina Talamo, Reid Kisselback, Rachel and Tim Drawbridge on the arrival of WNYT NewsChannel 13"s First Warning Weather Lab. They'll be having some fun with THAT.

Congratulations to WNYT NewsChannel 13's Rodger Wyland and his family on Brady's commitment to Ithaca College, my alma mater. I had four great years there.

Great start to WNYT NewsChannel 13's extensive #BelmontStakes Festival coverage today: Meteorologist Christina Talamo meets "James Bond" ... actually, trainer and stable owner Jim Bond. Appropriately, the number 007 is present at his location.

Appreciation for how sensitively Chris Onorato and Caitlin Irla handled addressing the recent loss of Acacia Courtney Clement's father-in-law with her. Condolences to her and her family. WNYT NewsChannel 13 #BelmontStakes #Saratoga

One of my favorite interviewees, always a very genial gentleman -- and he's now having a great run on Fox's "Doc." Happy Birthday today to Scott Wolf!

Always kind when I interviewed him, he was known largely for his Western image -- but he also had a big role in advancing Steven Spielberg's career, thanks to "Duel." Remembering one of TV's great stars, #DennisWeaver, on his birthdate.

The changes keep coming in upstate New York media. Best wishes to anchor-reporter Trishna Begam Begam, an Emmy-winning mainstay of NEWS10 ABC, who has announced that she will be leaving the Albany station this summer.

On the most appropriate night, one "Chicago" mystery is solved. Chief Pascal will remain at 51: #DermotMulroney has closed a deal to stay on #ChicagoFire. One Chicago Wolf Entertainment
