"Special series" more often than not means a limited run. IMO. Plus maybe they are starting to build up a new, different library of documentaries to run on weekend nights and finally retire "Lockup."

Patience.... Patience....

It's the new parental leave laws. In New York i I think it's 8 weeks now for the parents paid time off. Dad, Mom...no matter.

Lauren got a raw deal from WMAQ. She was seen as one of their 'future stars,' but when it became clear that she wasn't going to get a weekday spot anytime soon (if ever), she moved on. It seems like no one wants to work weekends at WMAQ nor do they want to 'wait their turn.' Patience is not a virtue for them.

Lauren's move to 'GN was like the worst-kept secret in Chicago...at least in my own head.

Where do you work/live bud? As of this posting, 811 is still HSN here in Ashburn (Loudoun County) .

It's not the old stuff which I enjoy, and it's rather market restricted, but WHP Newsight 21 is enough of a rarity to make me interested.

He has done the 10pm at least a couple of other times, including last October.

A great Alabamian. I hope he enjoys his retirement. He deserves it.

What a day, NewsActive3 with new vintage video (courtesy of one stevieboy, so it's all PA/MD): Included are tastes of a WMAR graphics set I've never seen, a WHP Newsight 21 (!), etc. Also... WTVJ. 1981. Full newscast with commercials.

Here's a July 4 edition of Eyewitness News from 1985 (KABC). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=hljrSxHi8kg;t=80

The On Assignment newsmagazine had legs that NBC could work with. On Assignment on NBC did so much better then Megyn Kelly's newsmagazine. The problem is that NBC always wants to compete with 60 Minutes, they should give it up. There is only one 60 Minutes. Greta is a weak broadcaster, she worked at Fox News cause she was not threatening and she had that twang which appealed to a certain audience. She was placed in a bad time slot, the 6:00 time slot is the worse time slot in cable news. No show that is on the 6:00 hour does well on MSNBC. I am surprised Al Sharpton's show did as well as it did. Cable newsers are competing against evening news and evening news brings in millions of viewers a night. Greta had no chance and also she probably left cause she knew trouble was brewing with the scandals and she did not want to be a apart of it.

WFLD Fox News Chicago from 1991. Haven't seen this one before! And continuing with the "it ain't much" theme, about a minute of western Montana's WMNews from 1989:

Not sure if this has been posted. This video includes WGHP's open from 1997.

i think we all knew this was the worst kept secret in boston hopefully nbc ask's for the phil and jc promos from wcvb lol http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2017/6/21/boston-anchor-resurfaces-across-the-street http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/longtime-boston-reporter-takes-anchor-job-at-competing-station/191425

Many old people can only see in 4:3 and some still in B/W. I can remember when JetBlue was called "PropBlue". The 4pm special at Sizzler is Liver and Onions...and the all you can eat salad bar.

Can we keep this thread focused on WCBS? I get it...everyone is pissed that WJZ, WNYW and WBBM haven't received new sets yet, but complaining isn't going to change the reality!

Couple from TCN 9 Sydney - #1 for most of its time on air. I recorded this from the other side of the world in London in '88, when it was (lovingly) featured on a morning show. A classic. TODAY promo featuring dream sequence with the anchors oversleeping, recorded by yours truly.

I'm back on the west coast and bran Williams getting better ratings then Chris Hayes plus brain is live at 8pm west coast time

You would think they would at least fix the rebroadcast scheduling for their primetime shows (Hayes, Maddow, O'Donnell, Williams). Is there even a need to air reruns of The 11th Hour twice at 2am and 4am Eastern time?
