WJLA-TV news opens

[@chuckers40]

Sad news to report. Former Chief Meteorologist Doug Hill passed away on Monday. Doug was meteorologist in Washington, DC for almost 34 years. Doug started in DC at WDVM-TV now WUSA TV 9 (CBS) for almost 17 years and then moving to WJLA-TV (ABC7) for 17 years before his retirement in 2017. He will be truly missed.

Knowing what type of product Sinclair was known for watching WBFF out of Baltimore growing up, I had really hoped the Albrittons would have sold the station to Disney/ABC considering the type of market DC is. I really can't stand the way Sinclair runs their newscasts.

Happy 75th anniversary WMAL/WJLA TV ABC7 Washington, DC

This montage makes me miss Gordon Peterson and Maureen Bunyan.

Once WMAL-TV, Washington DC. This from Sinclair, whose ABC affiliate in St. Louis hasn't had a local news operation since 2005.

[@raylaguna2601]

WJLA-TV went downhill when Sinclair took over.

[@aaronlewis2486]

WJLA, the ABC affiliate in Washington DC, is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group. WJLA is the sister station to Fox/MyNetworkTV affiliate WBFF and CW affiliate WNUV in Baltimore MD and fellow ABC affiliate WSET in Roanoke VA.

Why 7 News as a name? They could have kept ABC 7 News or go back to its original name: News 7.

[@unknowingly6694]

They just didn’t get permission to get its new name: ABC 7 News On Your Side

Does The Walt Disney Company own WJLA-TV?

[@armorybrunotjr.3204]

No. Sinclair Broadcast Group owns Channel 7.

Hi ID Junkie, I hope you had a nice 4th of July.

It's weird that Dale Solly left Washington, D.C. for a little bit to work for WJW in Cleveland, Ohio. Then, he came back after.

Awesome Dan Lewis before he gone to KOMO and Dave Sweeney I believe was at KOIN doing weather

This station, along with fellow ABC affiliate KTUL in Tulsa, OK, will be among the stations as part of your upcoming Sinclair group news opens video. You already did Meredith & Fox.

The 2019-2021 is the longest video set in the video, besting the 2015-2019 intro by just 2 seconds 😮

[@unknowingly6694]

Time of 4 minutes and 46 minutes

[@lucascoxthewheeloffortunef6949]

OK. How come it used to get deleted all the time?

[@theidjunkie5344]

First time was an update to TL’s original video (2018). Then it got updated for the new Sinclair graphics (2019), and then this year (2021) they changed their name to “7 News On Your Side” and I wanted to upload it around the 4th of July.
