As a child growing up in Waldorf, Maryland, Jovan Adepo had no idea he would one day become a full-time working actor in Hollywood. This month, Adepo will appear in the Netflix original series, “When They See Us,” based on the lives of the Central Park Five, the 1989 case of the five black and...
The TV audience in Baltimore for Saturday’s Preakness race was down 10.65 percent compared with that in 2018. Those are household figures from Nielsen that measure the size of the audience during the actual running of the race. They are provided by WBAL-TV, the NBC affiliate that aired NBC’s coverage...
If the Supreme Court is our last best hope to stop Donald Trump’s march toward an imperial presidency, Frontline has some bad news: After more than three decades of plotting and packing by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and others, the court has become solidly right-wing and openly politicized...
LaFontaine E. Oliver, a former general manger at Morgan State University’s WEAA, has been named the new president and general manager at public radio station WYPR. He succeeds Tony Brandon, who is stepping down at the end of June after running the station since 2002. Oliver left Morgan State’s...
In 29 years of covering media in Baltimore, I cannot recall a story I wrote that resulted in as immediate and intense a reaction as Tuesday’s report announcing WJZ’s firing of anchorwoman Mary Bubala. The closest was the coverage in 2014 and early 2015 of two staffers being fired and a news director...
WJZ anchorwoman Mary Bubala, who came under fire Thursday for a question she asked about the race, gender and leadership of Baltimore’s past three mayors, is no longer with the station, according to an email sent to The Baltimore Sun on Monday night by general manager Audra Swain. “Mary Bubala...

Well, right off the bat (sports pun only kind of intended) I can tell you what I don't like about this “Dancing With the Stars” season: They're doing an elimination tonight based on votes received during the show. So many things wrong with that. First, couples dancing later in the show are receiving...
Bring yourselves back online, my friends. I’m taking a busman’s holiday of sorts from recapping “This Is Us” to recap the, er, challenging “Westworld.” Y’all want to hear something hilarious? I thought the different time periods in “This Is Us” were difficult to manage. HAHAHAHAHA hoo boy, I crack...

I’ve got to confess: I teared up a little there. I’m not sure those tears were fairly won on Sunday’s season finale of “The Walking Dead,” an episode that gave us, at last, the end of the All-Out War. I’m not sure I shouldn’t be approaching the end of the eighth season with the same skepticism...
