  1. THIS!!! I remember randomly discovering this site and it felt like a safe space and knowing that there are so many people around the country and world who geek and nerd out on TV news. This site continues to Thrive and Grow!
  2. Loving the Palm Trees! Normally used to trees if it’s for windy forecasts. Very unique and local.
  3. Betty Yu out at KPIX. FTV Live speculating she’s going to KTVU Then again she has ties with the Peacock since she did work at WTVJ, I’m guessing she might go to NBC Bay Area? we shall see https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2024/4/1/crossing-the-bay-in-san-francisco
  4. That certain Bay Area blogger is reporting beloved KGO Consumer Reporter 7 On Your Side that Michael Finney is out after 33 years with ABC7
  5. KPIX had that color scheme on its Noon and 3pm newscast for a few days when it first got the graphics. It was to my assumption that was a transition from mornings (orange) to evenings (blue)
  6. KGO was down with gremlins taking over the station all morning simulcasting KABC until 6:45 this morning. Im suprised with an outage like that, they couldn’t even get anything running not even a newsroom cam.
  7. Not even a week in with the new look and they changed the X handle. However, it’s wrong it was correct when they launched.
  8. I mean GDLA always plays music during the weather reports but at least there is someone talking over it
  9. KGO has flipped to the new look right now at 11am and brought back the main opening theme. during 2020-2024 they have been using the Breaking News / COVID theme
  10. My have the tables have turned. It used to be the other way around.
  11. Ah the previous FX Design Desk used on KSWB! Wow never thought I’d see this day! RIP KUSI set
  12. Just noticed this. KTVN got the new look. Is this the first station out of the station group to get the package?
  13. I just realized KABC still hasn’t got the updated weather graphics on air and on its website. it’s either WPVI or KGO to get the switch anytime soon.
  14. The lighter shade of Sky Blue KABC uses kind of didn’t age well. KGO’s was more neutral with the Royal Blue look. music wise, I wonder if KGO will revert back to the original opening theme pre 2020 pandemic or still stick with the “breaking news” theme which became the main theme during the pandemic.
  15. Jobina Fortson out at KGO Huge loss to ABC7 Mornings. She decided to leave on her own terms and wants to spend time with her family and head back home to Atlanta. The bond, the chemistry is definitely real on and off air with the KGO crew. They even called themselves “cousins.” the last half of the 7am streaming show was dedicated to her starting at the 25:15 mark of the video https://abc7news.com/14154597/
  16. Yep it’s now up and running on its morning show now. Made its debut on air.
  17. the morning music is too chirpy. Playing that track over a serious story doesn’t fit well. they only cut that KPIX doesn’t use is the main extended theme heard throughout the station groups (especially the KCAL, KOVR, KCNC opens) I was hoping they would’ve used that track for its new primetime newscasts but they went with the 7pm music route instead.
  18. So many faces have come and gone from KGTV that I remember when growing up (Listed below) that they didn’t interview and some of those videos seen in the reports were pulled from YouTube . Hal Clement Leonard Villarreal Steve Wolford Kyung Lah Lee Ann Kim Bill Gaines Leon Smitherman Fred Blankenship Lisa Lake Lauren Reynolds Laura Castaneda Bianca De La Garza
  19. The VR weather set is only used on PIX+ primetime newscasts but will slowly integrate on KPIX newscasts. didn’t realize they had a secondary studio. That studio is larger than what they currently have.
  20. Now all we wait is for a new studio/set which has been in place since 1995!!!
  21. KPIX was producing local news inserts for its short lived 10pm Seattle News Now. I guess it wasn’t attracting much viewership to launch a news dept. I guess it’s back to square one producing only weather reports for Seattle with the previous CBSN block weather graphics on its website.
  22. Amanda Starrantino out at KPIX and headed down to CBS Los Angeles. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cwh_moZxjqP/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
  23. So that’s where KPIX got their PIX+ promo with a virtual set of a building seen here with Jane Pauley, but in SF instead for their new prime time newscast that will debut one September.
  24. Oh good! I noticed on Sunday during the storm coverage they added a radar box in the corner of the screen to blend in with a smaller UPDATED logo with the time and temp blended in.
