CBS Morning News promo, 1974:

Sad news out of Columbus, OH. 10TV (WBNS/CBS) Meteorologist Chris Bradley is back in the Hospital fight phenomena, the leukemia he currently fighting is no longer in remission. Prayers go out to Chris, his family and at 10TV News. https://www.10tv.com/article/10tv-meteorologist-chris-bradley-icu-james

I don't believe CNN gives stations that power to embargo something in another market just because their parent company owns another station there. I don't think I've ever seen that happen. Typically, something is only embargoed for other stations in the same market or if it includes video that's restricted for one reason or another. In one place where I worked, our sister station one market over threw a big stink at us because one of their competitors (a Sinclair station) ran one of our packages that CNN picked up. The reporter had a stand-up in it while wearing our jacket and mic flag with a logo that's nearly identical to our sister station's. They somehow thought there was something wrong going on, but since it's two different markets, there wasn't any embargo on it, so it was fine for the Sinclair station to run it even though our sister station had access to all of our content internally. Probably a dumb move on the Sinclair station's part to run a package that looked like it came from their competitor, but whatever. Or at the very least, they could have edited out her standup. That's the double-edged sword with being a CNN affiliate. It's great because Newsource has tons of video, including lots of packages, but if there's more than one CNN affiliate in a market, then competing newscasts can end up running a lot of the same content if you're not careful or get in the habit of only checking CNN for wire content.

I really like the BBC election theme. It should have been remixed.

Actually this was composed by Richard harris in 1968. Here's the original MacArthur park theme. Go to 4:53.

Speaking of elections, this is how the BBC kicked off Election Night '79 (the BBC logo at the beginning of the open was added for the rebroadcast): For some reason, West German election coverage included live musical interludes, as you can see in this promo for the 1980 election on ZDF:

That's a bit drastic. If management is changed, there isn't going to be much change. That said, the on-air product isn't hurting.

Isn't Jane Robelot the same anchor who once worked at WCAU, WGCL and CBS News?

Indeed. Since Australian TV stations relied heavily on American TV graphics designers at the time, I assume they were both produced by the same company:

This look didn't last long, however. In January 1988, the newscast was cut back from 60 to 30 minutes, and the branding used by the other Seven Network stations was adopted, complete with a new set, new graphics, The Mission by John Williams (a.k.a. the NBC Nightly News theme), and the Seven Nightly News branding:

Sports anchor Duke Castiglione is leaving Fox 5 to join WCVB in Boston as weekend news anchor: http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/wnyw-sports-anchor-leaves-for-boston/196612 Castiglione has recently been hosting Sports Xtra on Sunday evenings and is the primary sports anchor for Good Day New York. At WCVB, he joins former Good Day colleague Ben Simmoneau, and replaces former WNYW and WCBS anchor Reid Lamberty.

Carol Goldsmith who had been anchoring at 4 in addition to her 6 & 11 pm duties continues as 6 & 11 pm co-anchor. http://www.wyff4.com/article/jane-robelot-to-anchor-weekday-newscast-on-wyff-4/13515861

http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2017/11/26/taking-it-to-the-top Here's somewhat of an update. I think it's really sad to be completely honest. It's horrible to have to go to work and have everyone be miserable because of the top. Hoping that this just gets cleared up and no one else has to suffer. Like I said if the top isn't taken down there are ones who will leave. Those behind the scenes who aren't making much could probably jump ship to pretty much anywhere. If they wanted too both Bill Evans and Diana Williams could walk away pretty. I mention them because they are the next ones likely to leave within 5-10 years anyway. Bill Evans is in his late 50s now and has kids almost through college (I think) and is newly remarried. Diana is probably weighing her options with all that's happened in her personal life recently. We just wait and watch now I guess.

Dec 11, 1994 was the network CBS/FOX switch for Atlanta, Detroit and Milwaukee. According, to Wikipedia Tampa Bay switched on Dec 12, 1994 which was a Monday. Not sure if that's true.

More Jornal do SBT, but from 1994. This is really bizarre, but the management at SBT decided that, because they couldn't beat Rede Globo's soaps, they should add these 5-minute updates to fill the schedule and wait until Globo's soaps finished. It looks that the people who watched SBT's soaps were loyal Globo viewers!

I have previously uploaded the last WGNX News at 7:30pm (12/9/94). Two days before the switch to CBS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=OUk9NzcKCJA;t=16 And this news update is from mid December 1994 when 'GNX (Now 'CGL) now affiliated with CBS.

Here's NY1's brand new news studio, two months in the making. Weather used to done in upstairs near the weather office. Has a loft apartment feel to it and I like how use the beams as a focal point.

Duke Castiglione has left FOX 5 NY to join WCVB in Boston as a Weekend Evening Anchor and Reporter.
