Breaking News 802 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I have issues with FTVLive because many news reporters have done more than FTVLive has ever done. They often say that they reported "FIRST" but they may not have reported accurately, and while I think being first isnt a bad thing in itself, I do take issue when they report first, but the information is incorrect. And what has FTVLive done to help the news media business? He stirs up a lot of shit. A lot of the stories are just gossip or posting screw ups. He does break some industry news. http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/8/5/san-antonio-gm-looks-for-the-leak Have you read today story about management and Channel 4? How do you both feel about this story? He can be very snarky at times, and other times shock when he praises people too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaking News 802 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Longtime ABC 13 (KTRK) main anchor Dave Ward is leaving at the end of December. http://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2016/08/dave-ward-to-move-on-from-abc13-ktrk.html http://abc13.com/news/dave-ward-announces-he-will-leave-abc13-in-december/1457110/ Do you see Art Rascon doing 5, 6 news while Erik will do 4pm/10pm? Also are they still doing the (3) team of anchors at 6:30 or 10pm still? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot like Jerry Springer, but I must admit, even the guy who runs FTVLive (whatever his name is) at least has some credibility. I dont think he has enough however. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasTVNews 1366 Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 Another change in Texas broadcasting, this time in Waco. First KCEN-TV is back of being KCEN-HD News to now Channel 6 News, and now a legendary Central Texas news anchor is scaling back her anchoring duties. Ann Harder of Waco's KXXV ABC 25 is stepping down from the 10PM newscast after 20 years of working the Nightbeat, but will continue to anchor the newscasts 5 & 6PM. No word on who will take over the 10PM anchoring duties. http://www.kxxv.com/story/32690789/end-of-an-era-friday-marks-last-nightbeat-newscast-with-ann-harder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eat News 4738 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Do tabloids get stories nobody else would report on? Yes, Tabloids are like the animal shelter. They take the poor sad unwanted stories and make them pretty and adoptable. Sometime they get really good stories like a pretty Collie, but mostly it's mutts. We like mutts.

Until then, Seth Kovar will anchor alone.

So there a breaking story on FTVLIVE.com but it does sounds like he HATES FOX O&O; if you ever read his stories he calls it "The Firm" base of the novel/movie. Not only is he snarky, but at times he out for blood too. http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/8/6/breaking-fox-oo-ep-busted-for-child-porn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably didn't get around to updating it. For example WBAL has the Olympic logo on air but they use the old version. The logo looks off.

FTVLive is much the same as Newsblues, they're there to talk/discuss/gossip about the industry. If you guys don't like it, or don't agree with the way he writes things or what he writes...don't read it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcnewsjunky 14 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 KSHB Creative Services Director was arrested on July 4th for domestic battery, but the show went on without him for a promo shoot they recently had. Unlikely KSHB will report it, but it's likely a new position will open up over there.. http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/7/8/scripps-creative-services-director-busted-for-domestic-battery Just saw the Promo during olympics coverage. Looks very nice and it seems that they are going with a new slogan. Gone is "breaking news leader" and in is "clear complete coverage" or something like that. In my opinion I'm glad BNL is out it was getting old and tired. Hopefully they debut a new color scheme when their graphics return from their Olympic placeholder ones. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone is "breaking news leader" and in is "clear complete coverage" or something like that. In my opinion I'm glad BNL is out it was getting old and tired. Hopefully they debut a new color scheme when their graphics return from their Olympic placeholder ones. The "BN/WL" slogan was bad to start off with. It worked fine a few years ago when they were almost number 1 and actually were on top of breaking news pretty well, but their slogan is so impersonal. Fox 4 is "Working For You" which they've had for decades. KCTV is now "Stands For Kansas City" which is great. KMBC is "Coverage You Can Count On" which is generic, but still personal. "BNL" isn't any of those things. if it's really "Clear, Complete Coverage" then it's better and a throw back to like, 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1944 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 From NorthPine.com, WDAY-TV is launching a 9pm broadcast on two of its subchannels. Simultaneously. NORTH DAKOTA: Forum Communications ABC affiliate WDAY-TV (Fargo) is planning a new 9 p.m. newscast to air on its subchannels. Promos running on the station say the new newscast will air on the WDAY'Z XTRA and Justice Network subchannels beginning August 29, which are seen on WDAY-TV as well as WDAZ (Devils Lake-Grand Forks), KBMY (Bismarck), and KMCY (Minot). The newscast launch will come around the same time that WDAY-DT2 and WDAZ-DT2 lose their CW affiliation, which is moving to a subchannel of Gray TV's future low-power station, KXJB-LD/30 (Horace-Fargo).

This was planned for months. After it announced in December that it'll get the CW on "KXJB-D2", Gray bought some LPs around the Fargo/Grand Forks area. K30LT-D Horace (which is now KXJB-LD) K28MA-D Argusville K30LR-D Grand Forks Now even though they haven't officially announced what they'll put on main channel, I wouldn't be surprised if they put CBS in HD on it's main channel.

plzstandby 30 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I never understood why WDAY never had a 9pm on the CW sub channel or even back when it was WB, I would have assumed it would have had more viewership than with Justice or its Xtra channel.
