Change is in the local airwaves, as well as on the printed page. The Idaho Statesman’s three-year-old Business Insider is shifting from a weekly publication to a monthly one at the beginning of the new year, significantly reducing coverage of commerce by the state’s leading daily. As a result, ace reporter Kris Rodine, who was serving as assistant business editor, has been reassigned to breaking news and online. On the other side of the valley, longtime Idaho Press-Tribune managing editor Vickie Holbrook has joined the dark side as public information officer for the City of Nampa; her replacement at the Canyon County daily has yet to be named. IPT A&E editor Dan Lea recently left, too, and his role has been absorbed by community editor Jordan Gray. Boise broadcast media has undergone a great deal of change recently, too. Back in October, KTVB-TV Channel 7 introduced a new hourlong newscast at 4 p.m. anchored by Carolyn Holly and Dee Sarton that competes with KBOI-TV Channel 2’s “First at 4” program. The very same day, KBOI launched an 11 a.m. newscast — its first ever midday news report. Impact from KTVB’s new 4 p.m. broadcast trickled down to the noon newscast, with Andrea Lutz now anchoring Mondays and Justin Corr handling Tuesdays through Fridays. Meanwhile, producer Char Jackson followed Carolyn Holly to the 4 p.m. newscast, and Anna Daly and Brady Moore are now handling production chores for the noon show. The format on “KTVB Midday News” has been revised, as well, resulting in fewer opportunities to book in-studio interviews. This means KIVI-TV Channel 6’s morning talk show, “Good Morning Idaho,” is essentially the sole local general-news TV program regularly booking guests. The good news is GMI’s latest team — Spencer Blake, Rachel Garceau, and Bri Eggers — is its best EVER.
