Enjoy some Roanoke/Lynchburg, VA from 2003!

Jim

I'd almost say so. The open was the same, but the bumper sounded different. This theme will work well with the Blackhawks, as the new open sounds like a cross between theirs and the Sox old ones. I doubt this'll jive with the Bulls, though.

Shes even worse then cheryl at "talking down" she sounds like jillian from family guy

That set... Its so... ORANGE! Also glad to have you back Jim! Excited to see what rare goodies you have up your archive sleeves...

Looks like the White Sox presentation is the same as the Cubs. Same blue colors, even the same music. EDIT: The music might have a slightly different tone to it?

It was a special primetime broadcast, all about something called the "His and Her Body Test"

I thought you'd never come back! What took so long!

KBTX had the same promo: Buy the Brazos Valley First - same graphics (save the logo/tagline), and music. It looks like it was a package created and marketed to regional stations to encourage people to shop locally, vs. driving to Houston (or other large city) to do their shopping. All I know is that the quality of shopping available in Bryan/College Station improved significantly in the late 80s while I was at Texas A&M

Hey, all. Long time, no see. For whatever dumb reason, I was looking at the online listings for WUSA, and what do I see? "6-7AM: Get Up DC! (New) Host and comedian Reese Waters, provides viewers with his own unique point of view on local traffic reports, weather forecasts and important news of the day." Wait? What the WHAT?! [Puts on glasses] CO--ME--DIAN.... U--NIQUE POINT---OF---VIEW.....TRAFFIC...WEATHER....IMPORTANT NEWS OF THE DAY..... COMEDY.... NEWS... Oooookay So, is this like a thing where a (former?) comedian just takes up hosting a coffee clatch local GMA/Today type thing where the first five minutes is what happened yesterday, then they go to the guests to show new yoga moves or talk about the hot new parenting trend, or is this like The Daily Show or Stephen Colbert but in the morning? [Looks for something on YouTube about this show...] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=sm1kGplXSXI;list=PL0FBhSp_O7Myol7nIKklr0z-LAzSiy2Az Oooookay.. So, um, The One and Only Channel Nine has three different types of morning shows running at once: The traditional local morning show running from 4:30-6am, the advertorial thing that runs from 9-10am, and the one with the comedian from 6-7am that seems to be a marriage of the comedy bits of late night shows,Seth Myers "A Closer Look" and the "Today" show. And it's crazy that the shows are named "Wake Up Washington" (4:30), "Get Up DC!" (6:00) and "Great Day Washington" (9:00). It's like the namestorming sessions was just find the thesaurus! (Where "Great Day Washington" is the synonym title to WTTG Fox 5's "Good Day DC".)

After five months since Sinclair's WJAC Johnstown, PA news anchor Marty Radovonic retired, Tim Rigby announced at the end of the noon news on Friday, March 30th, that he'll be joining Jen Johnson on the early evening newscasts starting Monday, April 2nd. Jen Johnson has done a terrific job anchoring solo during this extended time. http://wjactv.com/news/top-stories/eiler-joins-morning-team-rigby-moves-to-nights

Here's a weird one. I found a newscast opening from Dayton TV station WLWD (Now WDTN) and the opening is the same look that the Capital Cities TV stations used at the time. CapCities never even owned the station. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=GRjyySFO2V4;t=691

They make a bit of sense in the multi-station (particularly multi-Big 4) clusters Nexstar has, but less so for markets where they acquired a single station (like WNCN). Additionally, I suspect Nexstar might feel like names like "TexasMatters" might seem like fake news when shared, which dents the stations' credibility.
