mardek1995 200 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Its used during news and promos. 3 CBS O&Os are doing it at the moment: WBBM, KOVR and KPIX. Are any more CBS O&Os doing it besides those 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bsean 138 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Are any more CBS O&Os doing it besides those 3? Though it's not an O&O, KFMB has also been using that Super Bowl logo. Their bug toggles between their 8 and the Super Bowl logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mardek1995 200 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I mentioned this in the thread talking about Nexstar getting Media General but, Cox opposes Nexstar buying Media General for some of the same reasons we do, like the potential price rigging to jack it up for example: http://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/currency/cox-plans-oppose-nexstar-media-general/147347 Here's the URL for anybody wanting to warn the FCC to block the Nexstar-Media General merger: https://www.fcc.gov/about/contact 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d247 43 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Last night on FB, KOTV/KQCW weeknight 9:00p anchor Chera Kimiko announced that she will "take a break" from TV news and is leaving the station. Kimiko has been in the market since 2002, when KOKI launched its news operation, staying until 2014, when she joined Ch. 6. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10153822554238895 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWA_TV_guy 148 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Jackson, MS TV icon Bert Case, 76, passed away Thursday afternoon in a Jackson hospital. Bert recently celebrated 50 years in television broadcasting, most notably for his time at WLBT and most recently at WAPT up until his death. He was hospitalized on September 1, 2015 after a diagnosis of sepsis. Most people around the country know him for chasing off a pit bull in the streets of Jackson or for his investigative reporting into the cheating scandal of former Mississippi Governor Kirk Fordice who had a choice of words for Bert in a confrontational interview at the late-Governor's mailbox in Madison County. WAPT reports that funeral arrangements are underway at this time. Please keep the family and the Jackson DMA in your thoughts and prayers.

rkolsen 1675 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 TVNewsCheck posted that WBAL will expand it's Sunday Night 11pm newscast to a full hour, starting this Sunday. Wonder what they will be preempting for the extra half hour? Sunday night / Monday AM they air Matter of Fact, Inside Edition Weekend, Monopoly Millionaire, Dateline, Meet The Press and Rizzoli and Isles. I don't think they'll pull Monopoly as I believe it's probably tied to their lottery contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like "Matter of Fact" moves to midnight, bumping "Inside Edition Weekend" to 4:30am Sunday Morning (in turn bumping paid programming to 4am, which apparently bumps "Open House" off the schedule). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, my TiVo guide has yet to be updated. As a side note I came across this video for a camera robotics company. This video is from Mark Roberts Motion Control showing their robotic setup for London Live, which is the local TV set up serving London. Anyway in this video aside from the robotics it shows that London Live's studio cameras are actually Nikon DSLR's which to me is a bit surprising. Have any of you seen a similar type of set up as the primary studio camera? I've seen similar cameras used for promo shoots but not in this type of situation.

memnews 36 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Former WMC meteorologist Tim Van Horn starts at WHBQ on Monday. I wonder if he's planned this all along. I hate to suggest that he was lying in his original announcement from when he left TV, but this seems suspiciously like it could be the termination of a non-compete clause. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennTV1983 742 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Former WMC meteorologist Tim Van Horn starts at WHBQ on Monday. How is this going to work considering the station already has four meteorologists on staff, and Van Horn would be their fifth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears she most recently worked at WBBJ, also in west TN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
