I wonder what other markets would do this. Guess it would depend on how long the virus is the story, and how cooperative local stations would feel (especially the way certain owners are or might be).

PTVNews 101 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Interesting, but I don't really see the point. Why promote the other stations? They can do the same exact type of promo with their own talent. And if they wanted to do something together, they could all make the same promo with the same style/script/graphics, but with their own talent. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kfc513 167 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Sorry to bump this thread, but I've just discovered that the Grand Rapids, MI stations did the same thing and made their own version of the PSA.

Roadrunner 118 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 And it was done in Houston too, among other places, so this concept is very sweet but quickly lost its uniqueness and I hardly think they're just as jovial now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jerseyfla 135 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 The earliest example I've seen of stations advertising together as one was from 1987 when the West Palm Beach-Fort Pierce market stations had PSAs advocating for viewers to watch the stations in that market. Many people in Palm Beach County would opt to watch Miami stations over WPB stations on cable and antenna, especially WTVJ over WTVX for CBS before the Big Switch of 1989.
