  1. Political bias aside, they have an agenda. They clearly put their ”partners” front and center and make their stations run their content without question. At least now after the FCC scandal with the Huntsman Cancer institute, they are trying to CTA with an endless barrage of disclosures, disclaimers, and ”sponsored by"s... It's pretty laughable to even see the painfully obvious money grabs like ticker and snipe logos accompanied by said disclosures. It just goes to show how much of a "front office special” this company goes through. All the times they have forgot to do so makes the RKO General scandal look like an overdrafted check...The FCC needs to throw the book at them and make them bleed.

  2. Yes sir indeed! I wish we could find more Tuesday demos or full packs out in the wild errr umm station storage, especially the WISC "All We Are" stuff. I had that demo too and it was pretty awesome considering how dated it was and featured many themes like News 88.

  3. Damnit, too late to post it's a done deal. Wonder how long it'll be till the crappy "your(market)matters" domains take effect for the MG stations.

  4. Here is an almost complete WSAV newscast from October 1985. The station used the "WSAV 1986 News Theme" for its newscasts.

  5. I presume three waves of We're Your Kind of People. One's from 1982 (right after the fire), one is the Tappan version from 1984, and I believe there was a third wave used for a hot moment in 1986 and early 1987. There's also a mention of a *new* news opening, which is intriguing... This theme was used between 1982 and 1986... This is the "third wave"... The second wave stuff sounds totally different from the first.

  6. Plausible. But NBC's I-Team has five reporters. EWN has two if you count Nina. If WABC really wanted to double down on investigative reporting, I suspect they would do more than make a name change. We'll see if they actually follow through on the Investigative Reporter job posting and hire someone else.

  7. A more likely scenario is that research shows the strong NBC owned stations' investigative campaign is resonating with viewers. This is way of trying to get back the consumer investigative foothold they once had.

  8. Bingo. Merge the two, and boom- you're back to having two investigative reporters, without having to hire anybody.

  9. They should've just kept 7 on your side and then when introducing the segment they could've said a "7 on your side investigation" or something like that
