Going Roggin. NBC4 will debut "Going Roggin" at 12 midnight on Sunday night/Monday morning starting April 14. From the press release:

The segment also includes ‘What The Fred?!,’ a look at some of the most unusual stories and videos from around the world of sports. The ‘Local Legend’ segment provides a brief look at Southern California locals who have made it big in sports.

Not Funny Angels ace Jered Weaver was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a fractured left elbow. Weaver is expected to be out for four to six weeks. Weaver injured his elbow when falling awkwardly after trying to duck a line drive from Texas Rangers Mitch Moreland in the bottom of the sixth inning on Sunday. The good news in this? It's not his pitching elbow.
Isotope Fed. After their loss to the Padres, the Dodgers optioned catch Tim Federowicz to Triple-A Albuquerque. This will make room for the roster when they reinstate starting pitcher Chad Billingsley from the 15-day disabled list. Billingsley will make his season debut tomorrow at Petco.
Connecting with Kobe Time Warner Cable SportsNet will debut "Connected With... Kobe Bryant" 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday following the Lakers game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Bryant sat down with Kevin Frazer for an in-depth interview which includes this nugget from Bryant: "I could play another five years. That's not to say I will."

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
