    Ohhh, that's right, I forgot! I NOTICED THAT! I am SHOCKED! When they did the last set, the set they are taking down now was immaculate! This set, it's just ALL OVER THE PLACE! And the weather set? They are running off of a laptop and half of their equipment the normally use to track storms. Wth?
  3. Today

    Im probably going to get some fallout from this post, but im going to go ahead anyway.. According to what I've read, there is basically a zero chance that these stations are going to be off the air if nothing is done. These stations collectively, are the most watched in the nation and highest rated stations in arguably this part of the world. They've set the standard and culturally defined how we watched local news today. So I respectfully do not understand their unnecessary inflammatory drama to confuse the public. Honestly this is the issue, all of this public alarmist method of communication these days is what is strengthening the division and clash. Respectfully, they are entitled to voice their concerns for sure, but is it really that serious enough? Can someone help me understand what their intent is behind all of this?

    I'm still amazed that given the relaxation of ownership rules that there are still only 8 stations in the group. It's like a throwback to earlier times when the 7-7-7 rules existed (AM/FM/TV).

    It's sad that we've come to this where the ABC O&Os have been vilified by our current FCC. Maybe in a saner time, the same should happen to Sinclair and Nexstar, who have done far more egregious things in front of our eyes, often on a daily basis.

    If this madness was not going on, this thread would definitely not be here but regardless of what has happened, I feel that enough happens at the ABC O&Os nowadays for this thread to logically be here, so I am thinking about the present and the future here as you clearly see.

    General threads are not permitted, anymore, HOWEVER, the FCC stuff is enough to probably warrant its own thread.

    Public comment has opened up in the O&O early renewals. We can discuss those further in that new thread.

  14. Encore 323
    The purpose of this thread is to have a place to discuss anything relating to all of the 8 Disney/ABC owned and operated stations because even though things may seem quiet across the group, things are still happening beyond what is discussed in the individual WABC, KABC, WLS, and WPVI threads that are in the NY, LA, Chicago, and Philly threads respectively. ——————————————————— As you probably know by now, the licenses of the ABC O&Os are being threatened by the FCC and the deadline is July 29th, so the stations have been rolling out call to action promos, so that viewers can advocate for each station on the station’s behalf. Here are promos from WABC, KABC & WLS. WABC: https://youtube.com/watch?v=ePkAFvaEiAg KABC: https://youtube.com/watch?v=R0wEyMOfNwM WLS:

    Its her first job out of college. She has decided to stick around through thin, thick, and back for 12 years now. Now, her patience and hard work has been rewarded. Amanda Curran is the new Chief Meteorologist at WSFA 12.

    Are they really going to run their newscasts off of one camera at the temporary anchor desk?

    It saddens me that CBS is increasingly expanding this idea of VR studios. The standard implemented in Los Angeles, Denver, and Chicago would be great for their O&Os.

    It has aged well for a set, over 11 years. It will be interesting seeing one of the AR/VR sets for KDKA, if that holds true. In the report at 4pm, Barry Pintar did show off that one of the video walls was removed as they prepare to renovate Studio A.

    You know what, that set aged WELL!

    When there was nasty storms 10 days ago all the weather local TV station didn't do the podcast style Wood TV had most of the weather mets in for that night. The only station that does that podcast style is WXMI. I think TV station groups are trying something new as a lot have said the podcast style may work in some markets but not all markets, just trying to get their footing what works or not work. I'm wait and see on this podcast style weather & news segments.

    CBSMV doing what NBCU putting dramas on weekdays/nights with FBI Most Wanted? I thought that Ghost would get into syndication this fall don't they have enough for 5 days a week.

    Not sure how much audience Drudge gets these days, but it's front page there. Wonder how the media trade pubs even picked it up to begin with. Nothing remarkable when watching it other than the choked up delivery. And wow those parallels to Dale's goodbye. Guessing though the only people really noticing the coverage are people like us with an affinity for the media biz.

    As you may have seen for the past week or so this promo has been circulating on KDKA that BIG EWS is coming TODAY at 4 pm. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/196Vw2qatr/ Well, Barry Pintar from the KDKA TV News at Noon broke the news that today's news at noon was going to be the last newscast in the main studio for a couple of weeks due to some MAJOR UPGRADES. From what I've heard, KDKA will be GUTTING the studio and become the next AR/VR CBS O&O set. Sorry, I wasn't able to get the announcement at noon, but I will try and get the announcement at 4pm today.

    Did he really lift Dale’s goodbye? Are you serious? What a weirdo. His goodbye was bizarre too.

    Wow! I didn't think about that! He must have looked around Youtube for TV anchor goodbye speeches and landed on that one!
