Yeah, I kind of agree but I also really associate CNBC with its flashy graphics, booming music, and endless sound effects, and I doubt any of that would ever change. They released new theme songs and some graphic modifications for two of its flagship programs over the past ~2 years and never made the transition into flat like we're seeing here for MSNBC.
I will hold my doubts since nothing much changed in 2017 when they last had a huge lineup change, but we shall stay tuned indeed.
Yeah, CNBC has a unique style with the theatrical style music, flash graphics and constant sound effects. I'm thinking a font change too. The ticker's always been blue and white and I don't see that ever changing. Kind of like PTI on ESPN having looked and sounded the same since the show started 20 years ago. CNBC hasn't had any significant changes in at least 15 years, with a lot of the same anchors and reporters and analysts.

Not a bad new look, they were probably about due. The new logo isn't bad, but I prefer the 2015 one better.
MSNBC Reports isn't bad, although I prefer MSNBC Live a little better.
Now it's time for CNN to upgrade their graphics, as they haven't changed much since 2014. CNBC might be due too.
I didn't know they still did news cut-ins during non-news shows. I would have thought that they got rid of them when they added more hours of news.
Tv Newser notes that this is the 2nd cable news channel to change the name of its general news program, as Fox News did it a few weeks ago. They are really changing things up for the new administration.

Looks like MSNBC Live is gone. Starting tomorrow all shows are now
Stephanie Ruhle Reports
Hallie Jackson Reports
Craig Melvin Reports
Andrea Mitchell Reports
Katy Tur Reports
Ayman Mohyedlin Reports
Weekends
Gibson & Reiser Reports
Alex Witt Reports
Yasmin Vossoughian Reports
I get renaming name but a little more variety between them would have been better.
Saw that on my guide. I don't know if the MSNBC Live name was used that much on air.

I think it's important to point out Vimeo is designed for film & video industry professionals, filmmakers, etc. to showcase their work/portfolios. it wouldn't surprise me at all if they pulled such content from their platform.
I agree with that. it's like the LinkedIn of video sites.

Has anybody had problems with Vimeo?
I don't use it, but I've heard they're just as bad and strict with enforcing copyright as YouTube is.

My problem with suing is that the copyright people will nearly always win. Better just to either hope the appeal goes through and I get two of the three channels back...
OR I fold completely, go to internet Archive and for the next 6-8 months rapidly upload everything I have minus anything 'questionable'.
Of course the latter option means a massive loss in views and reactions compared to YouTube. Some of my videos got over 50,000 views, and 100s of likes. Plus most of the public would likely use YouTube vs. the Internet Archive for classic TV footage. YouTube is 'THE video-sharing site' and has been for many years.
I wish I could go back to my YT accounts and find a way to tell my subscribers what happened...but I'm sure a lot of them know already. The problem is how many will be able to transition their clicks from YT to I-A.
If I had a YouTube channel, I would never sue any of these big media companies as they already have lots of lawyers anyway.
Still hoping that they will reverse their decision.
I'm not sure if these companies are so protective of their copyright because of lost money or the same old corporate greed that's always existed.

It's gone because they claimed that the other accounts were "involved with a channel that had more than three copyright strikes". Even though one channel had only one strike currently and the fourth was clean as a whistle and had never seen a strike in its entire life, they took everything down. I have lost my entire collection of classic TV and decades of Yakima history. I am frantically posting stuff to the Internet Archive as of this moment.
That sounds like a Big Brother move if I've ever seen one.

Let's see...
Ken Crockett's daughter (he worked at KIMA) replied to me a while back and with the help of my videos, was able to make a surprise Christmas compilation of his work...Ken has never seen my videos. It was amazing to hear back from her. She told me that after Ken left KIMA, he worked at YCTV (community TV) for several years.
Got another reply from someone who worked in production at KAPP in the early '90s, told me about the equipment they used. Thanked me for uploading a video.
I had someone at the Edward R. Murrow College at WSU reply to me asking for permission to use a KXLY video with Mark Wright (who graduated from there). I used to watch Mark on KCPQ and KING, so it was very humbling.
I had a reply from another KIMA employee (never told me his position, but he was not an anchor/on-camera person). He thanked me for posting Stu Seibel's final weather segment before he retired (it was on Nov 16th, 2007). The employee was in the building that night watching Stu deliver his final forecast.
I keep in touch occasionally with Stu himself. He is an amateur radio operator and while long-retired, still has so much knowledge about the television industry. When long time KIMA anchor T.J. Close died in 2019, Stu asked me to copy off the Flood of '96 special to a DVD so T.J.'s family in Arizona could have a copy. They had never seen it. I had it pulled off, and he came by to pick it up. They got that DVD and thanked me. I think he's an amazing asset to the Yakima area.
My ultimate goal - once Covid dies down and normality becomes the way of life again, I hope to copy off a lot of my footage to DVD and donate it to the Yakima Valley Museum for preservation. Maybe just a dream for now...but maybe a dream come true...I would love for that museum to open an exhibit highlighting the 65 years of Yakima television history...complete with newscast samples and station artifacts from long ago. My family grew up there and Yakima has always been home for them.
That sounds like a cool idea, donating some of the newscasts.

It will. I promise. I have a new account and I will be more careful this time, taking out a lot of the 'questionable' stuff, but the Yakima, Seattle, Kansas City, Dallas, etc. news recordings + commercials will be back! Tonight I should be able to throw 30 or 40 videos up from the old account.
I started the VHS hobby about 7 or 8 years ago. I used to live in Snohomish County, north of Seattle. I moved out to Yakima in December 2013, and then to my current spot (Ellensburg, WA) in September 2019. This is one strange hobby for the general population, but in the end it's one that they will appreciate. Like I said, I've gotten replies from former Yakima TV employees thanking me for uploading videos, and it makes me smile.
Like the news anchors themselves?

Hi folks! Brand new to this site, but I think a lot of you probably know me already. I'm Taylor, the operator of the VHSgoodiesWA channels on YouTube. You know me as the 'Yakima TV archiver'.
Wanted to sadly inform you that I have lost my original (VHSgoodiesWA) account to the copyright buzzsaws on YouTube. About 40% of my Yakima newscasts are gone, as are the recordings I've found from other markets like Seattle, Kansas City and San Francisco. In addition, I lost my Dailymotion account this afternoon to the buzzsaws (likely Warner Bros, Dailymotion will NOT tell me) and I have a new copyright strike on VHSgoodiesWA3. The '4' account is fine...for now.
SINCLAIR / COWLES / MORGAN MURPHY DID NOT TAKE DOWN MY ACCOUNT. It was Warner Bros for Street Smarts and Change of Heart episodes. They had been up at least five to six years before the WB buzzsaws got 'em. Can't find them in reruns or on a streaming app yet WB still wants to protect 21 year old game shows with no current way to find them on TV...
With the fact that Sloan's account was also taken down recently, the copyright police have a lot more power over on YouTube lately. They are scrubbing accounts left and right for whichever TV shows they choose, even if those shows have not been on the air in 20 years, and have never been in reruns anywhere since...
And recently we lost another one of the Pannoni accounts because ABC cracked down on their entire soap opera library. Try going to Disney+ and searching 'all my children 1989'. Classic Susan Lucci ain't up there. Soap fans loved when we could put those up. Then Disney said no more.
I will be SLOWLY uploading everything to a brand new account. VHSgoodiesWA5. But eventually we may all have to ditch YT if they continue this. Internet Archive, anyone? I've been up there for years and no problems. Maybe starve them when they need us the most. They can have PewDiePie and the million-subscriber 'let's play' Roblox and Fortnite players.
Don't worry. The KIMA, KNDO, KAPP and out-of-market stuff will be back...very soon. But it will be months before everything is uploaded again, maybe even early 2022.
As a new user here, I will also link YT and Archive links whenever necessary to new content I find from Yakima and elsewhere. I've been doing this hobby for years and I love it. In fact I have gotten the attention of former staff members at the Yakima stations, thanking me for uploading newscasts or old commercials they remembered from years past.
Rant over. RIP VHSgoodiesWA, 2015-2021.
Sorry to hear about this. Loved all your old videos. Can't wait to see them again on your new channel. It stinks when that happens.

Actually, WPLG's doing well in the ratings and with the recent deal with WSFL, it's not much of a loss. But as far as archival footage is concerned, there are far more things they should be worried about instead of cracking down on YouTubers, see Viacom v. Google.
Personally, I'd be more worried about people putting newer stuff unauthorized, than something from let's say, 1994. If they don't like people sharing their content, why don't they put it up themselves?
I'm curious why you brought up the Viacom lawsuit?

I think this will answer your statement.
And it's probably over money that they believe they're losing. Seems very greedy on their part, over material that will never see the light of day again.

Thing is, Shep is hosting a specialty show on a business channel that’s running up against one of MSNBC’s star opinion hosts (Joy Reid). I doubt there were any expectations for his show in the first place, certainly nothing like NewsNation had.
Nexstar may have no choice but to sell off the transponder space. What do you do with a channel that just blew up their prior identity and is slowly shedding their non-news program inventory? They can’t just snap a finger and go back to WGN America.
I think what’s striking here is how Perry and Sean Compton are totally repeating the mistakes that doomed Al Jazeera America five years ago, when the lessons were blatantly obvious in this Broadcasting & Cable op-ed:
Most people know CNBC best as a business/financial channel. Going from hours of business programming to Shep's general news show to business reality shows is a trainwreck. There have been rumors of CNBC going right-wing talk at night. I haven't heard about that in a few months, but I know Shep wasn't happy about Fox News towards the end of his time there, and I doubt he'll be happy if CNBC tries this strategy.
Nexstar won't go back to WGN America at all.
1 hour ago, tyrannical bastard said:This should have been an OTT thing from the start. Cable is dying faster than the subscribers who are dropping it. And whatever efforts Nexstar is doing digitally (like their digital desk at WFLA in Tampa) are being buried on the web.
Even as a last resort, there's Antenna TV, now wouldn't that be the ultimate oxymoron if they end up on cable
. Even then, the shows they air are mostly available 24/7 on places like Pluto TV...
If Nexstar were to ever change Antenna TV, there would be a backlash from all over. MeTV may be the most popular classic TV outlet, but Antenna TV has a decent following as well.

They've been playing some new music on the spring training telecasts, and the only remnant of the MLB on FOX theme is down to the very short open. Hopefully they go with a high quality look- graphics wise.

And yet another youtuber is gone, i don't know his youtube channel name, but he's mostly remember for uploading, Anaheim angels baseball games, world series games, the oj simpson Chase from different los angeles stations, the earthquake coverage ( loma prieta and Northridge) and the wildfires. I'm telling you. Just when you think you're in the mood to watch something good, then *snaps fingers* it's gone.
If YouTube found a way to get rid of all copyrighted material at once, you'd be down to pretty much junk.

I'm seeing more and more people upload rare stuff to Archive.
What amount money are these companies losing over newscasts that aired once? Even worse since Sloan said the one strike was over a commercial.
I'm sure he could reupload all his videos to the Internet Archive as I'm sure he' still has everything he's ever uploaded.
I'm not sure if NewsActive3 is on other video sites. Maybe he should start looking elsewhere.

Perhaps if Nexstar focused their strategy outside of prime time, they may get more viewers. Shepard Smith is likely bombing for the same reason on CNBC.
Possibly. I wonder if it's better to give Shep a daytime spot on MSNBC. There's a couple personalities over there that are not as well liked by the viewers. I think NewsNation could run a newscast at Noon, replacing one of the In the Heat of the Night slots.

In my personal opinion, it is completely unfair to consider NewsNation a fail less than one year after they launched (as a newscast). I think it is self-evident that there are those who literally want NewsNation to crash and burn, because Nexstar had the idea of creating a news channel. I think we can all agree that any start-up has to make changes as time goes on with plenty of room for improvement -- and this is no different. They are undoubtedly experiencing growing pains and people should keep that fact in mind. I also think it is also unfair to tie NewsNation directly to the decline of WGN America.
WGN America had seen better days before Nexstar, to put it mildly. And now Nexstar is injecting new life into the channel under the new NewsNation brand. As much as people want to say otherwise, WGN America was not going to survive long-term without major changes. And now Nexstar is making changes that, in my opinion, puts the channel on the best possible path to being successful. I personally would've preferred that they kept the WGN America name, at least nominally, to maintain continuity of the brand. But nonetheless, I think NewsNation has a solid concept and they are well on their way to fulfilling their mission.
I agree that NewsNation cable feed should be more accessible to digital users, but we should also remember that they have to turn a profit and just making it free over the Internet, while trying to be successful on cable, can short-circuit their success on cable.
Finally, referring to the NY Times piece, I think it is ridiculous to suggest NewsNation has some kind of unique bias. I'm sure if the shoe was on the other foot, the NY Times would have no objections. I perceive NewsNation as being objective and trying to be fair. There is no such thing as a perfect news outlet. But I would say NewsNation is among the best on cable right now for straight news.
WGN America was only semi-popular from from the start of being a non-superstation to the end of the WGN America branding nearly a week ago. Outside of originals like Salem and Underground, it was mainly a dumping ground for long running syndicated shows like In the Heat of the Night and COPS. A channel of mostly reruns is not a great strategy in the long run. They even tried Canadian shows for awhile in primetime too and a Dog the Bounty Hunter spinoff. Agreed it was time to try something really different on the channel.
2 hours ago, JosiahCubed said:Exactly! NewsNation is still in its "infancy"; much like the other news channels were at one point. WGN America was going to suffer from ratings decline, much like other channels have been dealing with.
To be quite honest, even the most "neutral" newscasts and organizations will have been accused of bias at some point, whether or not we remember.
Also, NewsNation has been uploading stuff to their YouTube channel (even full episodes of Banfield). This means that they are trying to make things more accessible to more people.
I'll give NexStar credit for trying to make things accessible to more people who don't have linear TV. It's great that NewsNation is now on several pay streaming services. Launching a new channel on cable or satellite is a risky move in 2021 with cord-cutting at all time highs.

Major technical glitch tonight after the first commercial break. Something happened in studio, Contessa Brewer took over after the commercial & brief color bars from the Power Lunch interview area and anchored the rest of the broadcast.
Shep started the newscast, and there was a blue screen at the beginning. Right before the 1st break, Shep was cut off during the coming up next portion. Brewer picked it right after that. Shep came back for a minute, but there were still difficulties, so Brewer came back, and she was there for the rest of the newscast.
Contessa is the main fill-in anchor for Shep. Not a bad choice as she has more hard news experience compared to some of CNBC's other staff, particularly her run on MSNBC.

Going back to the Zucker exit conversation for a moment, I think it goes without saying that his influence isn't going anywhere any time soon when it comes to the top.
"Zucker lieutenant is a top candidate to replace him at CNN’s helm" (Dylan Byers, NBC News)
So in other words, CNN will be pretty much be the same with Zucker's strategies still in place.

Not bad. I personally think the NHL graphics should be at the top of the screen.
