  1. Probably the end of production for those local shows that WPCH was airing at 8pm
  2. If watl’ prime time news block is broken up for CW then I could see WPCH adding an hour at 8pm to take advantage of having no competition.
  3. Graphics are a downgrade from what they had. They're all over the place and look dated (which is saying something, since the previous package was a decade old). Glad they got to keep their longtime news theme!
  4. Any word on if CBS will make a play for local sports rights for their newly independent stations?
  5. Raycom was producing the ACC games that aired on Bally, they just used Bally’s onscreen graphics for presentation purposes Interesting that 2 ACC homes markets (Pittsburgh and atlanta) don’t currently have a CW affiliate….Nexstar better start making some calls
  6. 4 people fired over pride memo at WOOD-tv https://www.freep.com/story/entertainment/television/2023/06/30/wood-tv-grand-rapids-pride-month-memo/70373754007/ the 2 people that produced the memo and 2 people how spoke out against it
  7. KAPP/KVEW now has a unified brand: Apple valley new now https://www.applevalleynewsnow.com/features/kapp-kvew-unifies-brand-now-known-as-apple-valley-news-now/article_a074d780-1457-11ee-b5b4-2fc19b1c4ccc.html
  8. An anatomy of eyewitness news - 1969 WABC special showing behind the scenes look at newscast production
  9. boy, Chris doesn’t come across good in this price. Seemingly has no idea what the hell he’s doing
  10. WAGA investigative reporter Dale Russell retired this week after 38 years at the station. https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/dale-russell-senior-i-team-reporter-retires
  11. Wabi has the new gray graphics, also ditched their custom news theme
  12. Root Sports in Seattle is majority owned by the Mariners. I think the most likely outcome there is the Kraken buying WBD’s share and having a NESN joint ownership situation.
  13. KRON has a 3 hour prime time News block from 8 to 11. KONG has a 2 hour news block at 9pm WPCH has a 2 hour news block at 9pm WATL has a 3 hour News block at 8pm WTTA has a 2 hour block of news at 8pm The question these stations need to ask is if low rated CW programming is more profitable that what they are already doing. With the election next year and the political spending going to be really high having complete ownership of your advertising is very significant (especially for the Atlanta stations considering Georgias swing state status). Personally I could only see KRON and WTTA adding CW, and that’s simply because nexstar will make them
  14. What in the world is going on in Alaska ?
  15. shame WVIR couldn't have gone to Hearst too. Probably too small of a market for Hearst to care about
  16. So much better than the old package
  17. 1980 behind the scenes special of action news at WSB
  18. spectrum w/the LA networks, plus team owned networks MASN, marquee, MSG, Altitude, YES, SNY, and NESN
  19. No one wants these RSNs. They’re an albatross that NBC, Sinclair, and WBD are stuck with and can’t get rid of.
  20. interesting. What use do they have for a metv station in Macon?
  21. What i hate about all the evening newscasts (WNT, NN, EN) is that they all feel so rushed. From the opens, to the stories, the bumpers, everything. It's like watching at 2X speed of normal. I'd wish they'd slow down and let the stories breath instead of cramming as much into 20 min as possible.
  22. The touchdown graphic looks like a comic book action sequence “bam”, “pow”, etc. the flag graphic looks like a breaking new alert you’d see on cable news. and they are still using those stupid player cartoon illustrations. not a fan
  23. I could see Comcast buying Hulu and peacock transforming into a FAST platform to compete against PlutoTV and Tubi
