  1. I just read this. It is not WPTV, in fact the memo states WPTV facility will provide studio support if needed. The address stated is not the WPTV studio address. The memo specifically mentions the purchased media properties of iON (which was located separately in WPB), Newsy and Katz Networks. I suggest you re-read this.

  2. Yeah, I was a little surprised at that. A lot of the shows air twice as well. More shows are coming in 2022; hopefully they can get a schedule with more variety.

  4. From the post-Christmas Day 1978 CBS Evening News w/Walter Cronkite, Richard Roth reports on the "superstation" craze in cable TV. Features an interview w/WTCG (WTBS)' Ted Turner:

  6. Longtime WMBB anchor Jerry Brown has retired after 16 years at WMBB in Panama City. Prior to that, he was a longtime anchor at WDEF in Chattanooga along with stints in Macon, Tallahassee, Wichita Falls, and Wilimington, NC. https://www.mypanhandle.com/news/anchor-jerry-brown-retires-from-wmbb/ I''ve noticed that Tom Lewis has been putting himself on the air. Prior to his stint as News Director at WMBB, he spent 13 years at WJHG as their primary anchor, and even doubled as the News Director for about 5 years (from 2005-2010). He also was a longtime morning show co-host on WPAP radio. And prior to his time at WJHG, he anchored at......WMBB. Could history repeat itself again?

  8. I haven’t been able to understand why Nexstar and NewsNation didn’t just launch as an OTT streaming channel. NewsNation truly is a good product - the tv audience just doesn’t exist. Nexstar’s internal catchphrases is “digital first” - yet they did the opposite here. When every other media company is pouring money, people, and effort into streaming vs linear tv - they did the opposite. I would’ve loved to see this product as a hybrid of NN, local news, and the old HLN. Presented in a Peacock type format. You could have your main “channel” that streams NewsNation content and local news. So NN would be built around local news shows. Then have another “channel” that is the headlines channel that is basically the same news every 30 minutes like HLN used to do - updated every two hours. Users could also watch a “channel” that is just a constant weather upstate - think looping SD, 7-day forecast, etc.

  9. I don’t understand the backwards thinking. NN has a TON more users on digital versus on TV. That’s been previously reported. That’s why they push out app alerts like crazy to try to push people to the Cable Channel (yawn). But it’s the same with local news. More people have their apps downloaded. Stop looking at this backwards. Stop promoting a newscast in a newscast to switch to another channel when the end user is just not going to. It’s only checking a checkmark for Perry. If Perry understood audience sizes he would make every local station app push to the new programming on NN and have a live stream embedded in apps just like CBSN or NBC NEWS NOW. Data. Science. Work smarter. Not harder.

  10. Beware of that Steven Walsh guy. He just reposts other people's videos. He has taken IDs from videos posted by The ID Junkie/Junkie's Tape Bin, Ntropolis, Rochester TV Archive, Channel 37, and others hours after those channels have uploaded their own videos. He gives no credit or does not ask prior to reposting other people's captures. I recommend not supporting users like him.

  12. Like, doing the KOIN treatment and using Montserrat as the package font works. Arial, not so much.

  13. Bump WJTV has switched themes (for some odd reason ). Canvas gets replaced by This Is The Place. Problem is that WDBD has the same theme.

  14. The devastating collapsed condo building in Miami hits close to WSVN Chief Meteorologist Phil Ferro. Phil Godmother and Uncle were found in the rubble over the weekend. Prayers and condolences are with Phil Ferro's family at this very difficult time. https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-dade/7weathers-ferro-opens-up-about-losing-uncle-godmother-in-condo-collapse/
