What good is that if you were the first to break the contract?

Help Identifying a News Update Theme (Gari)
TSSZNews replied to WWUpdate's topic in News Music & Voiceovers
I would lean toward it being a part of Gari's custom POP TV theme. That cut borrows heavily from a theme on Image News. It was not totally uncommon for Gari to mish-mash themes from the US syndicated packages together for clients abroad - they did it for PRO TV too. -
$25 a month. I get they carry three teams, but that barely makes sense as an in-season price! Woof. Sports is going to break *all* the pay-TV models eventually.

Jim Gardner Reducing Schedule, to Retire at End of 2022
TSSZNews replied to Morphtato's topic in Philadelphia News
Not true! When the 4p and 10p launched they announced the times in that show only. Anyway, according to the Philadelphia Business Journal, Jim's last show got a 79 share in Philly and 540,000 OTA viewers. The Eagles Super Bowl when they won got an 81. https://www.bizjournals.com/philadelphia/news/2022/12/22/jim-gardners-historic-action-news-swan-song.html -
Heads up: The link above is broken because..."copy of Currents News V2" isn't great for SEO? Anyway, some context here: The client was presented with two "draft" looks to go into production - and that's the one that was chosen. It is what it is.

I can't wait for this thread to go years and years like the ABC O&O speculation.

A tour of WLII's (mostly completed) news set (in Spanish)
TSSZNews replied to kimmykun's topic in Sets & Studios
Maybe I'm just over every set now being a video wall, but there's something about the simplicity and purity of that blue newsroom that feels refreshing. -
Don’t worry guys - my friend (and his friend) and I will take care of him.

Almost as if there's a global pandemic still raging in other parts of the world and supply chains are still disrupted...

Motion Graphics agencies that did news graphics in the late 90s?
TSSZNews replied to JosephH1998's topic in Graphics
WLBT was definitely GO--although it looks very similar to the original MG group package work. -
It's a nice design, but I wouldn't read too much into this. A different team is probably making creative for the Hearst corporate site than the hub in Orlando.
-
It's definitely happening. They're hiring staff for it.

Shepherd Smith to join CNBC; Launch a new evening show
TSSZNews replied to dman748's topic in US Cable News
Numbers on CNBC generally are pretty low and niche - it caters almost exclusively to businesspeople. I wouldn't read much into it.- 104 replies

I give them credit for trying to evolve set design into something beyond "video wall and blue," but I get the feeling this will be a short-lived refresh. Only ones in America who have done this successfully IMO are WPLG and the PBS News Hour.

There's one really big reason to keep weather coverage local - because local weather is the reason most people watch local news. The Weather Channel is still an OK resource for a quick check of things - it could be even better if the local opt-outs were more than just Intellistar and an on-screen crawl during severe weather. I'm old enough to remember when they did not GAF and ran warnings full screen. I imagine NBC had eyes toward a hybrid model utilizing the O&Os when they purchased The Weather Channel. Certainly few could have prognosticated a global pandemic when it was sold (I don't say none because a few scientists have said we were overdue for a while) but pandemics aren't permanent - and what may make sense for a single year won't otherwise. So the question becomes, do the savings realized from centralizing weather outweigh any loss from the overall product of local news not having a local WX presence? For the FOX stations, it might - I don't know many O&Os currently that have an enormous investment in WX save for maybe Tampa. But for other stations and other owned groups who have firm stakes in weather - and the talent and tech to back it - that decision is much more difficult.

I wouldn't go that far--and really what the viewer sees on air in terms of hubbed graphics is nothing new--but I do think Creative departments themselves may be in as much trouble now as art departments were 10-15 years ago at the rate we're going.

Wonder if they shopped it to PHL 17 given the 10PM news success and they (unwisely) wanted to do their own thing instead.

You've seen it before, you just haven't realized it. That set is the "fishbowl" - the main newsroom and headquarters of CBS News in New York, used from Dan Rather in the 90s up until Scott Pelley and the Evening News moved into the current CBS This Morning studio next door. It's still their newsroom - but it got a remodel and is only sparingly used on air.
