Friday Afternoon LinksHey, it’s the slowest time known to man, Friday afternoon. Here are some links: • Dave Huddleston is leaving Fox 29, as the station won’t renew its contract; his last day is scheduled to be June 13, Mike Klein reports. And: “Fox29 insiders say that more shake-ups are expected; the station is considering new newscasts at 6 p.m. and 11 p.m.” Oh, man, they are going to mess with everything, and I just got used to a 5 p.m. Fox newscast. [Inquirer] • The “purse-snatching bandits in Center City” email that was going around was a hoax, reports Action News. Yes, Virginia, you can’t believe in everything you read in an email forward. [6 ABC] • An unconscious gambler was robbed at Harrah’s Chester County; police are telling people to be on the lookout and not trust any strangers at casinos. And, uh, remain conscious. [CBS 3] • Sadly, this typo isn’t in the actual paper. But there’s a new photo of Dorothy! [Metro] • National League Win Shares are out! If you don’t know what that means, you’re with me, but I know the advanced stat guys love it. Or something. [Hardball Times] |

Fox is gradually phasing in expanded newscasts throughout its owned and operated stations (Fox Television Stations Group). It is part of an overall strategy to be the dominant player in local news in the markets they have stations in as well as for standardization at all the stations, already seen in sets, logos and graphics.
The CBS article said that it’s Delaware County where the Harrah’s robbery occurred. It was in Chester. The oldest city in the state (and it shows).
