  1. Good question. I've heard him on commercials before.
  2. Interesting. Wonder if there were plans to use it further or if it was just solely to be used as a topical cut.
  3. Sounds like WMC was a brief user of 2 NewsTeam by Chris Crane. Anyone have any more clips from this era? Seems like they used it with Turn To News. Not sure if they ever used 2 NewsTeam for the opens...anyone have any?
  4. A little over the top (the KXTV thing is splitting hairs though) but I can't say I disagree. Look at the results. WFAA, once untouchable, now isn't. WWL, never-lost-in-decades, lost for the first time. The mass talent exodus, both on and off camera, at their legacy stations has been sad to see. It's no coincidence that many of their formerly-dominant stations have gone off the rails. They're all about letting the social media tail wag the dog on news and hiring cheap MMJs to lug around a camera and churn out "content." I feel like Tegna has made a business decision to forgo high ratings and instead run #2 stations at a bottom-dollar pricepoint, keeping the margins healthy. It's sad.
  5. Yeah, I wonder if we'll see a two-tiered system where the consolidated Big 3 stations keep the stupid URLs but the solo stations either keep their MG website names or revert to their old ones. Although, interesting to note, KTVX kept "Good4Utah." Wonder if it's up to each station.
  6. Apples and oranges though. The network newscasts are under no pretense of being local.
  7. Has anyone ever heard "2 NewsTeam" by Chris Crane? It's been listed on NMSA forever, but without a sample...
  8. Spanish-language TV had some pretty unique and cool 1990s themes. Anyone know who did this or the "Univision Affiliates 1990s Theme"?
  9. Going off a post on the WLNE 1993 theme... Maybe Doppler could also be responsible for the KWTV 1993 theme? *shrug*
  10. Any clues on who did this piece for KWTV? There's a less synthy version on the NMSA.
  11. What's sad is that Citadel thinks these graphics are state of the art...
  12. Anyone know who did the WBZ 1995 theme? I affectionately refer to it as the "disco" theme.
  13. Sexy little 80's-dance-club-meets-news sounding early 90's theme from WILX. Production music? Any clues?
  14. My understanding is that it's historically been 1. KING 2. KOMO 3. KIRO.
  15. No doubt has to do with Sinclair's tilt to the right on KOMO and Tegna's absolute gutting of KING's veteran talent. The Tegna buyouts were the epitome of penny wise and pound foolish.
  16. As far as still owned by the original family signing it on and owning it... Add: KSTP (Hubbard) WBNS (Wolfe) KOBI/KOTI (Smullin) WISC (Murphy [burns]) *KRGV (I think it's been owned by the Manships the entire time) You can also count WGEM, but Quincy, to me, has expanded a bit beyond the point of a mom-and-pop operator despite being a family company. Same goes for original Cox/Hearst stations. And, although, not since "Day 1"...WCAX has been owned by the Martin family for all but the first four years of its existence.
  17. That's the face of a man who's sold his soul... Interestingly, the "content concerns" tab doesn't appear on some of the Sinclair news-share stations' sites (though their actual news content varies -- some have none [WRLH/WPGH/KSAS], some are a complete ripoff of their partner station's content [WMSN])... http://kdsm17.com/ http://fox47.com/ http://wpgh53.com/ http://foxrichmond.com/ http://kbsi23.com/ http://foxkansas.com/ ...except WDKY: http://foxlexington.com/ Is anyone familiar with how the SBG news-share arrangements work? The partnering stations must have content control...even on the ones branded as a standalone show. Is WDKY/WKYT's different?
  18. Something has to be in the water there. You don't just pack up and leave on a whim, especially when you're that well respected. That station is a real trainwreck.
  19. Does anyone know who did WTVH's voiceovers during the Total News/KHNL Theme era? I'm not sure if it's two different guys or the same. The Total News opens in particular sound a little like Larry Van Nuys, but not quite deep enough.
  20. http://cunninghambroadcasting.com/about-us/ "Cunningham Broadcasting Corporation is an independent television broadcast company that, together with its subsidiaries, owns and/or operates 12 television stations in eleven markets across the United States. Cunningham, (formerly Glencairn, Ltd. prior to 2002) is a Maryland corporation and is headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland." *wink* *nod*
  21. I think you can kiss pretty much any standalone CW/My station in a duopoly bye. You can easily cash in and put the affiliation on a subchannel and it's nothing but a paperwork shuffle to anyone but people like us. I'm sure plenty of Jesus stations will cash in...
  22. Not if the company has its way. Although...didn't it fail in busting the union in Fresno?
  23. So how long before the former MG stations get the stupid website names? Anyone know?
  24. Who wants to guess the Pink Slip Express won't make a stop at WBFF, the company's baby? (though nothing would surprise me)
