KING in 1997: And WIVB's PM Magazine, 1979. Who did the jingle at 2:33? "And That's Why We're Four"

The number 1 reason most tv news people leave the business with more then 5-10 years experience is... They were "sick of being treated like shit."

I'd say it would be difficult to have a regularly scheduled noon newscast on the west coast due to sports being well underway. There probably would be numerous preemptions that I'd think would make it difficult for them to find a dedicated audience.

I guess the countdown has started to see if Shiba's Chicago interview leads to anything.

I have a longer cut but don't know who composed it: (That clip also shows the absolute final months of CBS TeleNoticias — the Brazil version — using the CBS special presentation music!)

From 1997, here's Sat.1 in Germany using a version of the NBC Nightly News set from that period: And here's a clip showing NBC's set:

From the same channel... KOMO weather promo from 1997: Anyone know what the production music track in that is called? I want to say it's Firstcom or Network Music; I found it online a while back, but the name slips my mind. I remember WAVY using the longer version of it on their midday news as a headline bed years ago.

Keith was in for Jim at 4pm today. But guess who filled in for Jim at 6pm? Jim!

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.

Especially those in Sinclair's or Nexstar's stations

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
