  1. Maybe just an Easter egg goof or someone thinking Amtrak runs the NYC subway (which would be odd given all the intricacies they put in).
  2. That is a good point. They probably are thinking stations won't even be monitoring the local NewsNet station.
  3. I was going to say I saw nothing then I saw an Amtrak logo.
  4. In the new year Ali Velshi will be leaving daysides and will be hosting his own show from 8-10am on weekends, replacing UP and David Gura will host MSNBC Live from 2-4pm. It’s up in the air who will take Velshi’s 3pm weekday slot but sounds like Stephanie Ruhle will be staying at 9 and 1pm. Also didn’t know Velshi taught at Wharton.... https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/msnbc-ali-velshi-weekend-schedule-1203449474/ Additionally Alicia Menendez will anchor MSNBC Live at 4pm Saturdays and 6PM (bumping a rerun of Meet The Press) Sunday’s. Would like to know where the Phoenix anchor and Kendis Gibson will fit.
  5. I imagine they period they’re leasing back will overlap significantly with the build in /move out. Also is the new developer of the current ABC property going to demolish all of it it or will keep some studio. Like what happened when NBC sold the Burbank lot, some outside developer came in to own it but kept it as studios.
  6. There was one person who worked on WHAG / which is part of the DC market who lived out of his car. I don’t think they will be Daily features. If they’re like his Today show ones they’re probably once a week.
  7. Huh, looks like on my TiVo at least WBAL and WBFF are running their local news in full. WBAL is preempting their noon news for Christmas in the Air with Tom Brokaw and at 5pm the Magnificent Mile Light Festival.
  8. I imagine it will be later in the evening. They already rerun Richard Lui’s 4pm at 6pm.
  9. I’d like to know if this was scheduled to be recorded on the day of the hostage situation in Jersey City,
  10. I haven’t seen the O&Os on NBC do it nor many affiliates?
  11. After seeing a second CBS Evening News recording on my TiVo I did a look around and saw that most of the CBS O&Os rerun the Evening News overnight. Sounds like a ratings play.
  12. Barons maps and radar appears differently from WSI.
  13. Ah, I wasn’t sure if it was the same as WSI. But (off topic) could a hub create look, implement it and share it amongst sister stations or does WSI or Barron need to be involved? I heard that new templates had to be installed (or sent to the WSI box) by them.
  14. True, but the stations that are transitioning are all WSI - the templates are mostly already premade and aren't they easily pushed to stations? Where as WJZ would have to recreate it for Lynx? Also, I cannot stand that black and white ticker they use, nor the previous ticker CBS O&Os used. I much prefer the WJZ version and hope they dont screw it up.
  15. All the weather graphics that launched are at stations that use TWC/WSI’s platform. WJZ and maybe KDKA still rely on Barron for their graphics.
  16. WJZ transitioned..... j/k it will be ages before they transition.
  17. What do you mean? The bulk of the team being in NY, or the show being in DC. Every studio CBS Broadcast Center is booked. The only place I think they could use to switch out sets would be using the CBS Sports Studio. They’ve used the studio before for a few of their town halls they did during sweeps. But the news division doesn’t have any other major studio space except for Studio 33 which I imagine is just a chroma key studio for 60 Minutes. Studio 45 which is half Inside Edition’s virtual set and half hard set for Sunday Morning which I don’t think they dare touching (aside from maybe painting and technological upgrades has it changed from the beginning). And Studio 57 is the bulk of their operations. There are also two studios converted into newsrooms - Studio 57 and Studio 47. The rest of the space is booked. 41 - The Mel Robins Show 42 - Last Week Tonight, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, Desus & Mero 43 - CBS Sports 44 - CBS Sports Network 46 - WCBS/WLNY.
  18. I’ve been told that the EP will likely be in DC but most of the crew will be back in NY.
  19. Hey guys, we don’t need you to constantly rehash complaints with the package as a whole. However if it’s a station specific one feel free and feel free to post how they evolve locally.
  20. In the beginning the likes of MeTV paid for carriage or barter. However now with them at least I can see the stations paying for MeTV. Other nets probably start out paying for carriage. Does the image seem compressed from 23.2 like fitting the 16:9 image in 4:3 or just center cutting it.
  21. She’s more like heading home. Her husband has moderately high end restaurants (which are great) around DC and Maryland along with two restaurants at Regan National and Dulles. She was based there before she got the CTM job and she was flying herself & and kids back to DC on one of the shuttles every weekend.
  22. Is 10.4’s pillarboxing showing a station logo or just black? If it’s black likely the program is being transmitted that way.
