Megyn Kelly thinks she can be the next Oprah, she said that was who she looked up to and who she aspires to be. Andrew Lack is going to do whatever he can to keep her cause she is a huge gamble. How many Sunday magazine do well when competing against 60 Minutes. They are in over their head with their big egos. Lack has a big ego. At best, he probably promised her a job on Today show or Meet The Press. He will probably phase out Lauer in the next couple of years.

Dray Clark is freelance? I thought he was permanent.

Then you're not looking hard enough for that criticism. She's one of our favorite metaphorical punching bags.

Let me guess, they're gonna load up on the DHX/Cookie Jar library crap?

They paid a lot of money for her so expect them to try her everywhere...and everyplace...until they exhaust her or the viewers. She really compared herself to Oprah???? For real??? That's just plain dopey of her.

I sure hope so.

Almost completely new... they added times and such along with a city scape and angled "Live" transition within the open... it shows the original logo angling at the viewer when the VO says "7 Action News"... at some point in the future I will post them but right now I'm not in a position to hook everything up and get a good video...

[MEDIA=dailymotion]x5up8t[/MEDIA] A news open from WBAL during their short-lived era of using "Third Coast". This was taken shortly after the switch to NBC. The news graphics are similar to WUAB and WOIO's from the time. Obviously this would all be gone very soon when Hearst rolled out new mandated graphics.

The skyline was part of the (taped) pieces for Jim, and for time to time it appears in other packages. Of course, it is possible these were recorded segments before work began.

I don't think she was comparing herself to Oprah. As I remember it, Charlie Rose asked her what kind of show she would ideally want to to. Her response was “a little Charlie Rose, a little Oprah, and a little me all together.”

Look mom! No ABC logo cluttering up the circle 7... they just debuted this nifty background... I forgot how nice it looks without it...

Read it again. ".....staffer Dray Clark".

You're talking to a wall. No matter how many times someone tries to speak to him respectfully, he always gets defensive and rude.

I swear to god, how that gross POS thing still exists? Oh yeah, douchebaggery rules. Newsflash: IT'S. NOT. FUNNY. EVER. I just feel like reporters have to prepare to counterattack perps who do this. Like throw a dart at them or shoot them bullets. Stations gotta gather for plans to stop this nonsense. Youtube clips of these 'incidents' encourage more of this douchebaggery.

The celebration was small and lowkey (as expected) but was still humbling and wonderful.

WGN's off the hook. Some dumbass just yelled FHRITP behind Stacey Baca on 7. No 1am rebroadcast tonight.

New set talk moved here: https://forums.tvnewstalk.net/index.php?threads/new-wgn-set.16032/ Again, general threads are for small stories that don't deserve their own threads!!! A set and new logo definitely deserve a thread!

Just teasers so far...hoping for more to come!

It seems Strive keeps getting updated. I am constantly hearing new tunes. Do stations or Hearst commission the updates?

4 years in the Air Force + 6 years as a cop + 39 years in broadcasting = Yes, he's of retirement age.

When WXYZ got them it was shortly before they went to Viz and they got new opens too.
