So was Katie oblivious, or did Matt and other men just treat her better?

Some closings tonight. So eight months after its approval, the KMCC deal was closed on Tuesday (1/16). Also Weigel's acquisition of the Seattle properties of OTA Broadcasting (KVOS/KFFV) was also closed Tuesday. They're still waiting for the greenlight on the Bay Area stations (KTLN/KAXT-CD). They've also made changes to the KVOS/KFFV lineup after closing of the deal. KFFV 44.1 MeTV 44.2 Movies 44.3 H&I/KVOS KVOS 12.1 H&I 12.2 Movies 12.3 MeTV/KFFV 12.4 Decades

Now as for telemundo central florida?

I've had this theory for a while. I didn't get 100% confirmation from Ed Peters on the phone (or maybe I did), but since I already knew Peters Productions filed a trademark for "Together" for use in broadcast promotion (along with "Alive," "Belongs", "Believes," "Is Yours," etc.) and I assumed from the melody and logo that it was "11 Together." I will have more thoughts on all this later. I have detected a couple more possibilities in that music demo. (Actually, WQAD early 80s was one of them, but looks like you beat me to that by finding the logo on their Facebook. The promo excerpt in the demo reel sounds almost like it could lead into the ID jingle heard at the beginning of the early 80s news intro on NMSA.) I wonder if KTNV not being on that list is just an omission. I assumed KTNV 1981 was "13 Belongs", it resembles a piece of music heard on a KOVR movie open on YouTube that also features their 13 Belongs logo. KUTV is on that list, too. That's got to be "2 Together," but was the 1981 news open music related? It sounds like it says "2 To-ge-ther!" (And I just realized when I pointed this out before last summer, I said KTVX when I should have said KUTV...) (Someone uploaded a 2 Together promo with an image song to YouTube over a decade ago, but it's long gone. I forget who it was - localstationbreak's original Johninmontana account? Maybe NewsActive3 before one of his earlier video purges? If the latter, could it be lurking in one of his longer videos like some of the other stuff he had up in the mid/late 00s?) Also, WEAR has to be "3 Clearly Yours", I feel like I may have confirmed this one with Ed once. The long instrumental and ID jingle sound similar to the other Peters/possible Peters stuff (it's still hard to nail down as much of a "Peters sound" as we can with Tuesday).

The first Welt-branded newscast on the former N24 this morning (preceded by a look back at the channel's history): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2DqkDFNIA0

It very interesting that Anne stayed on TODAY Show for 14 Years before she became co-anchor. She obviously was not close with Matt and Katie (But had a professional working relationship) though She and Al were Friends. It shows that back in the day NBC went to great length to keep 'America First Family' together for as long as it could depsite one of its members not having a close relationship with two fo the others. I get why stayed during the Veiria Years. at least by then, there were more people on the show who she a had good relationship with. Also with the Environment at the show on top of that I have to ask why did she stay for so long?

The promo song on the website actually sounds like it leads into the jingle at the beginning of the open for this package. http://www.southernmedia-nmsa.com/#3,1,1618 Do we have video of that open? Do we know what year the clip is actually from? (The theme may go back to 1980, there's a sales promo labeled as that year with the actual news theme in it.)

Adding the newsreader back would also setup the perfect fill-in person for the main two anchors and also setup a succession plan too.

I'm sure Ed Peters and his colleagues are very talented, but those station lists aren't exactly filled to the brim with longtime market leaders. Here's a demo reel from the site: https://nebula.wsimg.com/527ea4c42051bc1c7b87af5770ade007?AccessKeyId=66DF0260B5371BCE06BB&disposition=0&alloworigin=1

I love Estrella TV more than Telemundo in the 90's. Estrella has only one set for all it's shows... The only have one little person...but he does all the shows. And the only have 3 skanky go-go girls which get rotated all afternoon through all the various creepy shows. ...and a donkey...and a few chickens. Full Disclosure: I am 1/3 Mexican and I live near the border. I also once bought a "slimmer" thing off one of the ads they run....but it didn't work. (sad trumpet.wav)
