  1. Can we cut out the overtly political conversations. Save it for a different board. One or two sentences maybe okay but not what’s going on here.
  2. Wonder if that's the same place he and his ex Mika bought a few years back? Out of curiosity I looked at Lititz PA on Comcast, looks like they carry both the Harrisburg, PA channels (in HD) and appear to carry the Philadelphia ones in SD.
  3. I saw a picture of their studio and underneath every confidence monitor there’s a large piece of paper making sure the talent remember it’s Air Comfort Solutions Chopper 4.
  4. So on the Today Show they featured a meteorologist emailing a sick day. One problem he emailed it to the entire #NexstarNation people were using the #PrayersforNick and stations accounts would post get well soon. Here’s a FTVLive post.
  5. It’s often syndicated too WBAL has aired it several years now.
  6. That is a lot for a 1080i primary channel. Now bitrates aren’t everything but according to RabbitEars.info they are fixed currently at 12Mbps which is around the average bitrate for a 1080i channel at 12.34Mbps. Now keep in mind it’s possible there are several NBC/TELEMUNDO stations with dual 1080i channels and two SDs (soon to be three) that manage to look good. Maybe they need to update their encoder? However I’m not sure how good a 2Mbps 1080i picture is.
  7. These tiles are so cheap now and are also easily removable that they could be transported to the new building for other uses. Would not surprise me if the screens on the desk were showing burn in. Also I didn't know/remember that the video wall went seamless as well.
  8. If I had to boil it down is because they have a staffed hub, that works with designers (if it’s not in house) and everything is based on the same VizRT platform. The latter alone saves them a lot of headaches as they can design one asset and push it to all stations. CBS and Sinclair just to name two all have stations running different graphics hardware. They literally get the files I believe in After Effects (or whatever format) and are told to make it work. That’s how you get some mish mash of bad iterations of relatively good packages. As for CBS from what I’ve heard on the board and elsewhere it’s essentially WCBS commissioning a new package that gets shared down the line (right @Weeters?)
  9. There just goes any credibility the network had with one of their anchors(?) hanging out with that guy.
  10. Yikes it appears he did it back in season 11 too... https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/big-brothers-jeff-schroeder-goes-210798
  11. Well with Jeff they have a full summers worth on Big Brother. IIRC he didn’t do or say anything too outrageous a lot of his time was taken with his showmance Jordan who he married. However I don’t think he rocked the boat as he was voted “America’s Favorite” fan boat. I’m sure if someone went to JokersUpdates they could find something innocuous and make it something.
  12. WTVJ’s Dan Krauth signed off recently and is heading way up I-95 to WABC-TV. I know a few of TVJ’s producers have done stints and WABC but a few returned “home”.
  13. I was looking into a google voice solution for faxing. The cable modem is downstairs but I have the printer connected to an Ethernet bridge so I could connect it easily. I don’t really want some of the free services due to the nature of what’s being faxed. I think google voice is promising.
  14. I’m trying to get back a corded house phone just so I can fax. You don’t know how many places don’t accept emails for important documents usually they say it’s because of security or forgery.

    The "3" Thread

    This isn’t like WPVI removing MCTYW.
  16. FTVLive says he’s heading over to do mornings at WUSA.
  17. Oh, I think I figured why Chelsea Ingram returned to WJZ, her social media bio states she’s getting her M.S. in Environmental Science and Policy at Johns Hopkins.
  18. I assume it’s before Mediodia which airs at 11:30AM CT.
  19. WSNS has an 11AM newscast right? If that’s the studio would be booked back to back. Ideally they’d have the Chicago Today set in place prior to the 11 PM but it looks small enough where it could be put in place quickly during the last commercial break of Telemundo. But they’d still would have to deal with the Telemundo team leaving during the show.
  20. That’s in the WSNS/Telemundo Studio. For some reason the Telemundo studios in Miami and Chicago have floor to ceiling video walls with one or two larger ones that “pop out”.
  21. I was going to say when will WJZ update the graphics. Took them a few months to go widescreen Chyrons (that are textually still 4:3 safe - they just updated the background). Plus they run a Baron weather system and may take time to roll out compared to the bulk using WSI/TWC.
  22. Is it possible she was operating the prompter?
  23. Horrific story out of Atlanta and New York. A WNBC intern, Erin Edwards, who worked with the digital team this summer killed in a murder suicide, her mother shot her and her brother before turning the gun on herself. My condolences to her family, fellow students and employees at WNBC. https://www.nbcnewyork.com/on-air/as-seen-on/Remembering-WNBC-Intern-Erin-Edwards_New-York-557935862.html
  24. Maybe they are toying with the camera blocking. Their cameras are fixed in place but can PTZ and have a height drive. I noticed a Moiré pattern in some of the shots when then got the LEDs.
  25. I guess it’s teaching them. My school class apparently stands out from the others because they taught a different style for a year or two - things like M,N,Q and Z are completely different from the mainstream .
