Hello there. This is Roly Ortega and I'm the founder, owner, and blogposter of The Changing Newscasts Blog, home to The Latest News about Local Newscasts. Some of my reports have been referenced on some Wikipedia pages.
Me on Social Media:
As of Monday, May 1st, 2017, I have created a separate franchise called Public Media Fans, which supports public broadcasting from PBS and APT via television and from NPR, PRX, APM, BBC and WNYC Studios via radio.
On Monday, June 6th, 2022, I launched yet another separate franchise called SeriousXM. This is a newsletter service that focuses on the latest news and happenings inside the SiriusXM Satellite Radio service. Its FREE to subscribe with an optional donation page available to support my work and services.
