  1. I believe GMA does not give time back to affiliates until 7:26 and they air the bulk of the ads - the same is said for Today. Two minutes of news and two minutes of ads is pretty normal. Edit: I am surprised at how early GMA goes to affiliate time today it was at 7:23, They had solid content up until 7:20 with no ads (save for weather). All I can think of is that perhaps GMA is giving the affiliates one hole to fill with news, a break for traffic and weather and then some network ad inventory.
  2. WBAL-TV is taking the highly rated morning show of their sister radio station WIYY/98 Rock and putting it on TV. It will consist of 30 minute episodes airing after SNL, apparently it will take clips from their show and put it on air. They said it won’t be just a bunch of random clips but they will be strung together and described similar to pop up video. They said it was apparently a suggestion from the head of Hearst TV (which oversees the two radio stations). You can get more information here and there’s a YouTube video with their segment with WBAL GM Dan Joerres. Apparently its going to be a miniseries but with a possibility of more in the future.
  3. I was watching WABC recently and the one thing that detracted me were how in your face they were, the constant use of transitions and animations.
  4. Maybe it is being prevented. I was expecting a completely generic spot not one with added time and station graphics.
  5. The font NBC is using is the font Sky uses. They’re using two completely separate scoreboards.
  6. I’m betting the house that this was a mistake. It’s a volatile election year and common sense (and history) show that stations ADD newscasts rather than get rid of them during presidential election years. Was it a generic promo (not mentioning New York) from Ellen? Many stations still clear Ellen at 4pm and almost every one that cleared both aired Steve at 3pm.
  7. No clue but David Culver was WRC’s Northern Virginia reporter, he left for a CNN job. Edit: Looks like Drews their reporter,
  8. @AaronQ do you know if it was simulcast on Sky Sports News?
  9. Oh I thought it was this where the large Eyewitness News and logo appears between the main video wall and the standup/demo area you pictured. Was that video wall updated as well?
  10. What’s the blue thing to the left of the logo? Is that a screen as well. I recall when the studio launched it looked like there was a screen there.
  11. Yeah no way they designed in intention of TEGNA. It’s a general industry trend now to but the assignment/newsdesk at the center of the room. It’s either in the middle or against the wall in the middle. It’s so Information can flow quickly.
  12. Thanks, I think I was thinking of Fox when I wrote that post. I was talking about the monitors being replaced possibly due to screen burn in. @Eat News had posted that this was a problem with CNN when it launched, that many of their monitors had burnt in logos. I mentioned wasn’t there a network who had their logo move a little bit to prevent burn in? So @IceManNYR linked to an article about the old animating Fox News logo which is what I think I was thinking about, they animated it so there wouldn’t be screen burn in.
  13. I heard that before. Didn’t CNN or another network institute something where the bug moves slowly around a few pixels to prevent burn in?
  14. I don’t know. Black could just be from lack of content being played and but the panel could still be on. But I’ve only seen it a handful of times in pictures.
  15. I believe the monitors were left on when newscasts weren’t airing so people could look in on the street. The fact that most of the time it displayed the same image probably caused significant burn in. Additionally 9 years with it being on most of the day they probably were getting towards the end of their useful life.
  16. Reminds me of a logotype CBS used on air.
  17. I imagine the AccuWeather branding is still there and they adjusted the shot.
  18. Huh, earlier this summer he and several other entertainment reporters were upped to serve as entertainment reporters for the affiliate base. Also at one point his wikipedia page read like a press release.
  19. A lot of stations around the early 2010s decided to add “breaking news anchors”. Here in Baltimore and it sounds like elsewhere it’s a glorified reporter that stays in the studio and is the primary fill in.
  20. News 12 is exclusive to Altice subscribers. I don’t know if Altice operates in South Jersey - if they do they I don’t see them giving it to Comcast.
  21. Slight screw up this morning. The show started with the normal Today wipe then the blue title slate for the recorded cold open remained on screen for seven seconds before they rolled the normal open with the anchors names.
  22. Campbell is probably making a lot more money than she was earning at NBC or CNN. She’s the head of Global News Partnerships at Facebook.
  23. I was somewhere locally with The AccuWeather Channel with their L bar - is the feed done locally or are there different feeds.
  24. Odd because when Meredith Came along it was a major renovation. If I recall correctly there was a hole in the floor supposedly used for cooking segments that was closed off. And when she came they went full hd. I thought I saw her in one of the montages.
  25. Who says TEGNA’s cheap they sent Mike Valerio and a photog to Tokyo to cover a possible maglev train between Baltimore and Washington. Unless of course Valerio was planning a vacation to Tokyo and he got them to cover a few nights in a hotel + a photog.
