  1. Off topic, but what happened to the shout box? It's vanished!
  2. We've heard this before- probably not gonna happen. At least for a while.
  3. You mean, the Charlie Tuna who announced Scrabble with Chuck Woolery? No way! He died?
  4. Yeah, we need more game shows, especially networked ones- why doesn't NBC bring back Scrabble (again) or Sale of the Century (the real one, not that ripoff Temptation crap from 2007), or ABC bring back, I dunno, Debt, with Wink Martindale, or maybe The Joker's Wild?
  5. My god- that's awful! As if GMA couldn't go further down the tubes.
  6. Wow, it seems like KYW is facing a mass exodus- only by choice, not by revamp, so it isn't 1991 all over again.
  7. They were probably just superimposing graphics on the map itself.
  8. Thank you Transdiffusion! We really should consider some sort of full-fledged alliance with them- they've got a lot of good stuff.
  9. Why is a fader bar not called a fader lever?
  10. Right, because FSN broke apart since he was there- I found some evidence on LinkedIn that they now call the remains of FSN's national infrastructure "Home Team Sports"- ironic, considering that what's currently CSN Mid-Atlantic was named that while an FSN station and owned by CBS.
  11. Yikes- the situation over there seems to have completely disintegrated. If they can't get their act together, then wave goodbye to their hopes of dethroning Action News from #1.
  12. It's kinda like the midwestern variant of "Baba Booey".
  13. I didn't even realize they were still doing one- it was so underpromoted after Nonstop failed.
  14. I've been saying that for a couple years now- I noticed it one day, and I've been listening to News 88 since I was little. I thought it was weird too- but, when you're listening via your PS3, it's much better sounding. And it wasn't commissioned for radio, I think WDIV had it first and WCBS just started using at some point.
  15. I dunno- remember, there are problems with the ground beneath the PPL Center- back in the mid-90s, they had just constructed a new office building there, only for it to start collapsing into a sinkhole due to limestone underneath- I'm guessing they don't want a repeat of that. Hell, WFMZ actually produced a special of all their coverage of the event:
  16. I saw another one of those parallelogram-shape promos over the weekend, this time for that FAB Life thing.
  17. I also saw a promo for UpClose with flat, parallelogram style graphics- another hint of a new look?
  18. So can anybody make a mockup of what the Fox ei8ht is News logo looked like for comparison?
  19. Those dots on the bottom of the logo remind me of the logo for that old Paramount/CBS investigative series Hard Copy- it had a similar thing.
  20. Completely unrelated to the above, I heard Joe Nolan on the radio this morning... but on CBS-FM 101.1! I thought he retired a year ago?
  21. And before that she was one of the weekenders at WSB alongside John Alston and David Chandley.
  22. Found these clips from WTIC (pre One and Only) and WTNH (pre "NewsChannel8") circa 96 about the launch of the illfated AlphaStar DTH satellite service: Also, does anybody have any good copies of the circa 2003 WTIC open, with the fast-paced cut of One and Only and the stopwatch graphics?
  23. Maybe NBC Shift- you gotta have the Peacock in there, no exceptions. Maybe they could appropriate the NBC News Channel's name from the affiliate feed service, which could be renamed.
  24. On a somewhat related note to that, I recently read an article from a back issue of Broadcasting Magazine which said that around 1990 WFLD was going to launch "Chicago Cable News" alongside TCI and John Coleman, who apparently had just fled WMAQ at that point. One wonders what happened there that made it fall through and if this inspired WGN to go ahead with CLTV.
  25. Maybe it was supposed to be an ident, like how WKYC had their 3 logo being "built" during their "Building Our Station around You" era in the mid 90s.
