  1. Past hour
  2. nathannah
    If they made new episodes, that's one thing. But after last night's chintzy American Music Awards (which didn't even give out half the awards because their producer was too cheap to pay for a third hour) and just how cheap they are now and how much Shari and everyone else just want to get the deal done so they can get their money and leave? Do we even see CBS try to fight to keep the NFL after 2029? Keeping an hour of late night just for repeats is a great way of flipping the bird at your affiliate base and making it easier for them to justify ending affiliations. At this point, their strategy seems to be spending as little as possible to justify remaining in the Big Three.

    I don't necessarily want to see this either, but with this current administration in DC, I see the Feds passing this merger through. If this goes through, I can also see some divestures of service territories, although it'll only really be one suitor--Xfinity. As I mentioned before, the Cox-Spectrum merger gives a nice cluster in the Southwest (SoCal [Bakersfield and Santa Barbara on south to the Mexican border], most of Arizona, and Southern Nevada), plus a good chunk of the central portion of this country (Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, most of Oklahoma, parts of Texas [DFW, central, southern TX], and Louisiana). Most everywhere around the country, Xfinity is the dominant MVPD.

    Hopefully this fixes the stations that cram entirely too many words into one super. These are the ones that have the constant L3 that switches from the story, to the person on camera, back to the story. With text sizing, these supers are downright unreadable. Wish a group would bring back a form of "Texta", this was the non-obtrusive lower graphic that summarized a story that was introduced by WKRC in Cincinnati. It lasted through Citicasters into Jacor, Clear Channel and Newport, and Newport rolled it out to many of their stations. Some Nexstar stations (post-Newport) even used it and it survived on several ex-Newport Sinclair stations until the respective Sinclair package was introduced.

    Ed Weinstock is retiring from WGAL after nearly 40 years there and after nearly 50 years in the business. However, he's not waiting 3, 4, 5 or even 6 months to retire. Instead... he'll do so on Friday. https://www.wgal.com/article/news-8-reporter-ed-weinstock-announces-retirement/64884648

    When she is doing reporting, will she accidentally close her report “ABC7 Eyewitness News” out of habit?

    Wow. Spent 30 years at KRIV, the first face of the Satellite News Channel, now gone. One of the great Cuban journalists of our time, now gone.

    In what seems like a rather abrupt move, KMGH has replaced Nicole Brady with Dan Grossman on Denver 7 morning news: https://www.denver7.com/news/local-news/dan-grossman-experienced-co-journalist-and-former-scripps-news-correspondent-joins-denver7-a-morning-anchor

    Earl we'd love to hear your stories - the inspiration behind and creation of the music to the facts of how it evolved. Coincidentally, RIP Stan Atkinson who passed this weekend. The music you made was of the highest caliber to match his style of broadcasting.

    It looks like KBTX will be switching to grayone later this week I found this on a zeam thumbnail for a kbtx newscast. Also a modified logo appears keeping the longtime 3 with a star logo

    Seems that KCTV under Gray is still a mess that no one can fix from the Meredith days maybe it has been that way for decades at KCTV.

    Steve Wilkos wasn't aired for 2 & half years after FOX17 didn't renew it in fall of 2021 returned in Jan 2024 when CW7 changed things around after losing The CW which they didn't need make changes other than primetime in my opinion. Karamo wasn't added until March of 2023 on WXSP and now CW6.
  28. Earl Grizzell
    Wow. Yes, that's my theme and 1 of many large orchestral arrangements. FYI: I was hired by VTS to VP a new West Coast office presence (Studio City, CA) in late 86 - til my 1990 departure. Best I recall, at the time, I did make available my copyrighted tracks for jingles and news themes, etc for resale in non-compete/crossover markets... all up and up, contractual protections. Still very proud of that theme and is near and dear to my music career.

    Earl Grizzell, your KCRA theme made its way to KRDO ABC13 in my hometown of Colorado Springs. It was used from 1987 thru 1989. As you can see, its NEWS13 intro mimics that of the Dallas ABC affiliate WFAA - aerial footage, headshots and all

    Looks like they're taking a page from WCBS with national personalities filling in on the weekend. Unless Yates doesn't want it, it's beyond past due for Toni to weekend anchor. She's got the perfect personality and she was great with Michelle, and she was great whenever she filled next to Rob Nelson.
