  1. Quotation marks around news? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but do we really need to debate spin and biases here? And for the record, I hate the slant of Fox just as much as I hate the slants of every other cable news outlet.

  2. That could be it-- I think that's the best answer. I got in a frenzy, and assumed the worst-- I appreciate you quoting what I said and reminding me about FOX's daytime program policies. Thanks again!

  4. I had the pleasure of meeting Robert 11 years ago. Really nice guy who took the time to answer any of my questions about weather and the technology used to forecast. He even gave me a weather map at the end of the broadcast and thanked me for coming. He will be missed by so many on WTOL's airwaves.

  5. Joe Gazin is a Corpus Christi institution. No one will ever replace him.

  6. End of an era in Corpus Christi. Longtime KIII 3 anchor Joe Gazin announced that he will retire in late May after 43 years at the station.

  7. OK - I have to call you on this one... The Eyes of Texas ran for over 30 years (1969-1999, original run; repeats through the 2000s) - definitely not short lived. Growing up in Houston in the 70s: Saturday Night at 6:30pm on Channel 2 - that was appointment TV! While it was the original, its primary "competitor", 4 Country Reporter/8 Country Reporter/Texas Country Reporter - out of Dallas - is still going strong closing in on 50 years on the air (1972-present), still producing new episodes each year. You don't see many shows like these two much now.

  8. A brand new station shacking up on an existing frequency. Certain markets seem to be maxed out on the UHF frequency, but they'll probably have to settle for VHF unless they can make a deal with an existing licencee. It may have to happen with the low-power holders especially if someone like Weigel wants to move in to a market where HC2 wants to stay and they split a channel. Then again, it's probably easier to buy or sell rather than trying to apply for a new license in the first place...

  9. This clears out everything I have digitized on the computer through 1992. Enjoy! WTVJ (Miami, FL) December 31, 1988 11:00pm Newscast repeat from the night of switching from CBS to NBC. Lots of "Don't Worry, Be Happy" promos... https://vimeo.com/527541034 WKTV (Utica, NY) October 20, 1991 6:00pm https://vimeo.com/522611254 WBNG (Binghamton, NT) October 20, 1991 11:00pm (Short Newscast) https://vimeo.com/529540745 WVUE (New Orleans) April 3, 1992 6:00pm https://vimeo.com/522613208 WXXV (Gulfport/Biloxi) April 3, 1992 9:00pm (Mississippi News Tonight, also aired on WDBD, Jackson) https://vimeo.com/522612524 KUVN (Dallas/Ft.

  10. Honestly fairly surprised by MSNBC becoming the top network!

  11. I like the new MSNBC look. It's more refined and unique than the other one, that seemed like a giant CNN ripoff. It also ties in better to NBC News Now. I would imagine format-wise the main news is going to be covered on MSNBC while the NBC News Now is watered down as it is with breaking news and repeats of other NBC news shows.

  12. A couple of passings to note. Longtime WRC anchor & reporter Joe Krebs passed away from pancreatic cancer at the age of 78. He was the anchor of the morning show News 4 Today for 18 years until his retirement in 2012. Also, former WDRB meteorologist Paul Emmick passed away last week of natural causes. He was only 55.
