Meteorologist Bob Ryan will sign off for final time tonight as he retires from forecasting the D.C. area’s weather. The WJLA weatherman will end his over three-decade career during the 11 p.m. newscast.

Veteran weatherman Bob Ryan is set to premiere on WJLA/ABC7 during the 11 p.m. newscast tonight, his first broadcast on a channel other than WRC/NBC4 in about three decades. Ryan signed off from Channel 4 in March, and in an interview with the Washington Post’s Paul Farhi today, finally dishes on why he made the move. In addition to being able to share duties with existing Channel 7 weatherman Doug Hill, which will apparently…

Venerable WRC/NBC4 weatherman Bob Ryan bid a low key but still emotional farewell to his viewers on Friday night. The rumors are that he may soon resurface at rival WJLA/ABC7, but the man has been with NBC for 30 years. His departure is without a doubt the end of an era.

All right, all right. We’ll admit that we may have been jumping the gun slightly when, ten days ago, we called the evening’s winter weather advisory our “last chance” for snow. But c’mon! It was already March, and beautiful weather was just around the corner. We were sick of hoarding bread, milk and toilet paper; tired of wondering what the hell “liberal leave” meant; and weary from the toll exacted by churning out an…

After a 295-day hiatus, Tony Kornheiser is back live on the Washington airwaves. This morning, The Tony Kornheiser Show aired on Washington Post Radio (WTWP, 1500 AM and 107.7 FM). Kornheiser was lured away from Sports Talk 980 (his previous employer) and Dan Snyder’s Red Zebra Broadcasting by a generous 3-year contract from WTWP. His return is expected not only to boost WaPo Radio’s sagging ratings, but to bring some life to a moribund D.C….

Tonight. D.C.’s last on-air theater critic bows down from his duties. Arch Campbell, latest victim of NBC News’ restructuring, signs off tonight after 32 with Channel 4. Campbell’s departure is the latest step step in the dismantling of a news team that many locals grew up with. Most will remember him for his chuckle and occasional teleprompter trip-up. The Post’s article reads as a glowing tribute to the jovial man known to tell it like…

It’s just not a good time to be in local media. The Post has had its share of labor disputes and forced resignations, WJLA has been accused of ignoring worker rights, and now unionized employees at NBC 4 might go on strike. The Washington Business Journal yesterday reported that 2,500 workers at four NBC Universal-owned television stations, local affiliate NBC 4 included, have voted to authorize a strike over a contract that expired in March…

Good morning Washington. As you can probably imagine, just about any D.C.-area newspaper reader has been transfixed on Bob Woodward’s massive piece in today’s Post detailing how the Post’s iconic reporter became acquainted with W. Mark Felt who would become Deep Throat and together managed to topple the Nixon administration. There’s no need to summarize the whole thing here. Just go read it, just so you know what everyone is talking about at the water…
