  1. They stuck Hugh at 8am EDT on Saturdays for a half-hour. Maybe it's a portend of things to come, but that's basically debuting your show in Siberia and hoping to proceed from there.

    Chris Hayes started on Weekend mornings!

     

    I honestly think MSNBC is finding the right formula to balance news and opinion. CNN tries to balance but fails every time. FOX doesn't hide their bias but they hit a ceiling. There are only so many pro-trump viewers to capture.

     

    Personally, I use to watch CNN during the day and go to MSNBC in primetime but now I stick with MSNBC all day. I think the "MSNBC Live" branding, as opposed to individual shows, with a variety of anchors has really pushed the news side above CNN.

     

    I agree with you there, however Wallace plays directly to what I think is the majority of the MSNBC audience. She is very outspoken and more critical of Trump than Greta was. Deadline's approach is also refreshing with the round table discussions and involvement of many correspondents covering Washington.

     

    Nicole's roll out was very smooth like you noted, which I can't say the same about for Megyn Kelly.

    Exactly. NBC has no certain future now with Megyn Kelly. How much longer can Sunday Night last? Ratings are terrible and after SNF, it is highly doubtful it will return.

  2. I don't necessarily think it is because of perceived conservative politics because Nicolle Wallace seems to be holding her own. She always runs behind Cavuto on Fox but either beats or is close behind Tapper on CNN in both the Demo and Total Viewers.

     

    I think the Fox News stigma hurt Greta more than anything. Whereas Wallace and Hugh Hewitt weren't thrown into their own shows but rather were slowly introduced to MSNBC viewers over time through the campaign and on the 11th Hour.

  3. But, on another note. When looking through the Vimeo page, is it normal to have graphics such as the one below made up for the death of a monarch in another country? Seems odd. [MEDIA=vimeo]197236802[/MEDIA]

  4. Match Game is one hour. Whether it's 2 30-minute games or 1 60, it's on from 9 to 10. The station's online listing confirms that, as does my DVR. Blame your source, I guess.

     

    My source is my guide and my DVR on Xfinity. Guess it is wrong. But, why would that appear, obviously that was sent to Comcast for some reason.

  5. Something new to MSNBC primetime tonight, a news ticker with the current time. For as long as I can remember, MSNBC has not used a ticker during primetime. This is more of a switch to news based during political primetime shows.

  6. So this was posted on Kate Sullivan's Facebook page earlier...

     

    I am so grateful. Thank you to everyone for your kind words, love, and support in the past 24 hours. I was suddenly let go from CBS 2 yesterday and now no longer work there. As I said to my boss when he told me the news, I have nothing but supreme gratitude for five beautiful, difficult, fascinating, and challenging years in Chicago. God works…in mysterious ways. Always. Be. Kind.

  7.  

    It looks to be only a refresh to the lower thirds and the bug. Opens appear to be the same, and the music is the same.

     

    EDIT: They've scrapped the custom copyright graphic from the previous package and are just using a regular lower third to display that info now.

     

    Damn. I was hoping for the 360 music to go and be replaced by Tower V.5 or a newer version. Don't get me wrong, I like the 360 music but Tower is just pure WMAQ!

  8. I saw the start of the 6am show this morning before I switch to CBS This Morning. Same graphics, same bug. Nothing new. That is not to say that they won't debut sometime soon. WMAQ has been using Look F 2.0 for a while for promos and here and there on the newscast.
