And it reminds me of the late 90s/early 2000s flat look of ABC and ABC News promos.
I thought the same thing.
Now they need to revive the yellow and black scheme and the classic 4-note jingle as well.

Weekend GMA anchor Dan Harris announced his departure from the network this morning. Last day is 2 months from now. One wonders if this is a natural spot for Phil Lipof to assume?
Such a shame to see Dan Harris leaving. He was at ABC News for a long time. I remember the days when he was ABC World News's weekend anchor. Best of luck at 10 percent.

Just saw a promo a few days ago for You Bet Your Life. It will be airing on WNWO at 3, replacing the Judge Judy library reruns.
I would have thought it would've been on WUPW, as sister show 25 Words or Less airs there, possibly replacing Who Wants to Be a Millionaire reruns.

Jeff Glor’s stardom had already climaxed when he was given the EN. They should’ve given him the position when Katie left, and not to Scott.
As a Scott Pelley fan, Jeff Glor probably should've been the anchor in 2011, when he was known at the time as the Early Show news reader.
-
I think CBS should have kept Jeff Glor in Evenings. He was just becoming popular when they replaced him with Norah. Unfortunately, there has to be a network that's in third place and David and Lester were still more popular with viewers.
Norah's not a bad anchor but I still liked her better on CTM and as a White House Correspondent. I also don't care that they sort of copied WNT's method of "shouting" the headlines at the beginning for drama.
I actually do like that the newscast is now based in Washington, as they're always have been more news stories there than in NYC.
I'll guess we'll see what continues to happen to their ratings. I don't see Norah going away in the foreseeable future.

Yes. Because that's exactly what people want. A minimart version of CNN
Cablenews is in the gutter for a reason so I have low expectations for CNN+. What am I going to get for a fee that I'm not gonna get for free (ie. Newsy, BBC, Sky, France24, etc)
Plus FOX News has FOX Nation, which is the same type of thing.

The problem for CNBC since the FNN merger days is there is no CNBC audience after 4:10 p.m. on weekdays. It's a channel that like children's channels, has a limited timeslot that everyone tunes out of after the business day ends. If they would have been intelligent long ago they could've just had CNBC Europe and Asia after America's business day is done, but...we're America and the rest of the world doesn't exist unless you pay $30/month or $10/month for those channels or CNBC World.
Outside sports events, the CNBC channel space is effectively done at the end of the business day. FBN has seemed to crack the problem with business-adjacent programming that acts as a Fox News annex, but other than that, CNBC, Cheddar, Bloomberg, CNNFN, and other business networks just never figured out what to do once the closing bell rings, whether it be crime talk, reality shows, or network reruns.
So spot on! CNBC has tried so many things over the years after the market closes. The News with Brian Williams, John McEnroe's short lived talk show, documentaries about business, reality shows about business, and now Shepard Smith. CNBC Prime with reality shows about business has been the only real success for them.
FBN only works as basically FOX News 2 outside of business hours, with the exception of Maria's controversial show (How much does that show even talk about the business and the markets anymore?).
I wouldn't mind seeing overseas market programming. Street Signs UK used to occupy the 4:AM timeslot until Shepard landed.

It seems that the CNBC audience just rejected Shep. Hard to see how this improves, even if you change the schedule.
Maybe CNBC'S audience just isn't used to more hard news, that's maybe why they don't care for him.

Re: your idea of tweaking that timeslot -
I don't think conservative talk really has a place in the NBC universe because there will likely be large pushback and won't thrive like it does at Fox; the NBC brand overall is mostly tarnished among the bulk of the base. As for tweaking the show, could they turn it into a more primetime-oriented financial-ish (or not -ish) panel/talk thing, more akin to what the other cable news networks engage in? For example, if you keep Shep as a host but add Stephanie Ruhle and/or Contessa Brewer as co-hosts and then add specialist guest(s) per day, then that could be something. Or...we could just nuke the experiment and return to post-Cramer Shark Tank.
That might not be a bad idea.
If all else fails, I guess go back to Shark Tank after Cramer.
-
Shep's show seems to be struggling really bad.
I know the Daily Beast is a tabloid, but TVnewser and Brian Stelter also picked up on this. One of the options is to possibly move Mad Money out of its longtime 6:00 slot.
I think putting him on CNBC was a mistake. Most people know CNBC as a business/financial news channel and not for hard news. I like his show but it's a trainwreck going from to Cramer to Smith and then to Shark Tank.
Put him on MSNBC in a daytime slot and I think he might get a bigger audience. There's a few personalities there that could be moved or assigned somewhere else.
CNBC doesn't seem too unhappy with with the results and seems very proud of his show. On the other hand, the conservative talk in primetime seems to have gone nowhere over a year after the rumor came out.

I'm sad that Doc Emrick didn't get to call their final season, but I'm glad they let him do the final closing montage speech.
I wish Emrick was there as well. Kenny Albert's not bad, just a little more average.

I’ve always admired Bret Baier, Martha MacCallum, Bill Hemmer and Chris Wallace for what was a earnest attempt at balanced reporting. As of late they’re starting to show their stripes by entertaining “the steal” conspiracy.
Interestingly KDFW often (or at least used to) remind viewers that they’re separate from the FNC.
Chris is one of the few tolerable ones over there. Shepard Smith was the same until his resignation. Bill seems to be getting a little more far to the right, although probably somewhat better compared to Hannity and Tucker.

I guess I'm restarting there... My biggest complaint is that newscasts appear to get broken into 1 minute chunks... (and my experience has also been that it's not seamless between segments...)

That's only on the TV News Archive. Community Video runs like YT/Vimeo.

Spam and scams, and YouTube is tight-lipped saying 'No appeal for you! Remain terminated!"
Do you see why VHS collectors are moving to Internet Archive (or elsewhere)?
I searched, just for fun, 'fortnite 2021'. There's someone streaming and playing the newest Fortnite update and within 8 hours of upload it has 2,000,000 views.
Yet the guys in the background who want nothing to do with video games, only to preserve television history for those generations who either grew up with those newscasts or for those whose parents grew up with those newscasts (but they didn't), get yanked off the interwebs.
Ugh. Rant over.
YouTube cares about money. The more higher the interest, the better they care, So many users are getting demonetized over small things as well. Soon all that will be left will be gaming, cat videos, rant videos, sports highlights, viral news/opinion clips, and interviews.
YouTube never encouraged uploading copyrighted material in the first place, but if you ask me, people were going to find a way to upload rare television broadcasts/commercials.

The new logo is not an upgrade, its just oversized and flat. The current logo is the best ABC ever had.
I still like the 1988-2007 logo better. Just very simple.

I'm curious, since 1986, what has changed about the peacock?
They made the logo more 3D for a time starting around 2010.

It's a black circle with three letters in it. It isn't really that special of a logo, but I guess of course they're going to try and sell the change as new! fresh! and innovative!. There, I said it. Get back to me when NBC or CBS tries to change up the peacock or eye.
Both the peacock and eye had slight changes done in the past.

Appears “CNN Tonight” is becoming “Don Lemon Tonight”, effective Monday.
Not a big surprise. All of their other big name talent have their names attached to their shows.

It's a live second hour, but some stations preempt it until 10 for local newscasts (e.g. WPVI).
WTVG in Toledo airs local news at 9 as well.

It's only for the 8am hour, when things are much lighter in tone. So, it makes sense.
It's probably better in that hour anyway, so I agree.
