Mrtraveler01 737 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Doesn't really shock me. Sinclair does seem to rely on fear for viewership. Just look at all those Town Halls they have and how they always seem to involve topics that are supposed to generate fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at all those Town Halls they have and how they always seem to involve topics that are supposed to generate fear. Consider the audience they trying to appeal to...people who watch FNC and the like eat this stuff up. Surprised they didn't put Sharyl "Obama Hacked Me" Attkisson at the desk...

NEOMatrix 1295 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Forgive me if this was posted before ... but Sinclair ... Terrorism Alert Desk?? Way to give into fear!! -- Matt Sounds too stuoid for even Fox News to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrtraveler01 737 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Since when did they have the terrorism alert desk? When they decided to use the WJLA news set, have an American flag in the background (because somehow that has something to do with terrorism), and use a WJLA anchor to anchor from the desk. Fear sells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fear sells. But that is a WJLA anchor... Jonathan Elias who joined the station a few months ago from WBZ-TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mardek1995 200 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Sounds too stuoid for even Fox News to do.Makes me wonder if Julian Smith (Sinclair is his middle name) had any contact with Rupert Murdoch back in the 80s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5269 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 But that is a WJLA anchor... Jonathan Elias who joined the station a few months ago from WBZ-TV. Yeah? And? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 1843 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Yeah? And? Sorry. Somebody was questioning about that about using a WJLA anchor to use the desk when in fact, they did.

TennTV1983 742 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Okay. This is getting silly. Can we get back on topic without further derailing this thread? Anyway, WTVC in Chattanooga has recently switched to the new web layout. Now I'm just waiting on WZTV to do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannical bastard 3442 Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 When are KVAL and KMTR going to get Sinclair-ized? KMTR needs to go at least widescreen first. But most versions of the new graphics are 4x3 safe. WGXA in Macon is STILL in 4x3...and the sad thing is that Morris-owned WMGT has been in HD for over a year now!
