I regularly watch the 11th Hour and don’t think Brian Williams is bitter. He certainly was humbled but he still has the same personality on air.

Another one leaving WNEP.

My hopes were for WNEM using the actual Scripps graphics, which are now syndicated (KNBN uses them).

From a journalistic quality perspective, it'd be nice to see Whit take over most of Michael's role in the first hour, with Michael then owning more of the second hour. Don't know that that will happen, though. Certainly not immediately.

A WGN9 promo for Friends, when they centered their whole look around Akzidenz Grotesk and streaking arrows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Cg48J_T-ug

The Munich massacre (portions) broadcast 1972. Quick somebody download, save, and make hundreds of uploads before it gets taken down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKeAOuq3voU

There's always the weekday morning shift they can put her on, which seems like Cook's likely destination.

I debated on which station thread to put this in. They nearly switched places, because they also know that this seating arrangement just isn't right. They did an interview and cooking segment, in addition to talking about Linda's new show, and they haven't missed a beat. They should've had Caplan do the weather. He was on the panel at 9am.

I was kidding. Yes of course you can. Seriously tho I do think Brian Williams is bitter about not having Nightly News. He's lucky he's still at MSNBC. His show does well without him.

I am glad to see Lester putting more of a voice and personality in presenting a story in his broadcast. It is his broadcast, and NBC should have a booker and have him get interviews and special segments. The evening news needs originality. I think Andrew Lack needs to let go of the leash and let Lester be his own man and stop making him pay for Brian Williams problems. I think NBC should do a closing credit of different cities around the country. One night they do a closing credit of the Washington DC and the next night the city of Denver and the other night city of Houston. Lester says that the evening news should reflect the country so they should include the different cities in the country. I am tired of the NYC and DC bubble. To me I think the evening news is running faster cause they are putting more stories in a 10 minute compression before first commerical break. However, I have a problem with some of the reporters, I think they talk to much. It is that MSNBC school of talking too much and saying very little in a broadcast like evening news 1 minute is like 5 minutes. I think NBC needs to divorce itself slightly from some MSNBC reporters. I don't have a problem with the reporters personally but I think some of them lack good concise reporting skills for a network.I think Kasie Hunt, Kelly O Donnell and Kristen Welker should be permanent political reporters for Nightly News. They are the best reporters for Nightly News. The other political reporters try to hard to get their camera time more then focusing on the story. The dramatic storytelling approach is getting old and each reporter sounds alike whether it be hard news or human feature. They need to change the tempo of each story.
