  2. Wow. I find that fascinating. Apparently, it was for breaking into WTVT's computer systems. Its why WTSP has been last or nearly last since then. They may have done it to try to increase news ratings but karma to WTSP because WTVT remained #1 during that time and is still #1. https://www.nytimes.com/1989/05/20/us/2-get-probation-in-computer-crime.html

  4. These are derived from WRAL’s graphics that came out eons ago and eventually updated & used until 2016. I forget who did them... I think it was Hothaus or GO

  6. WTSP on hurricane duty in 1988: The station debuted a new set and graphics that summer, but kept the '83 theme. The next year would be a major year of change, with the computer scandal breaking in March, resulting in the arrest (Yes, the arrest) and prosecution of WTSP's news director along with more cosmetic changes.

  8. There needs to be wholesale changes at 4th and Market. They will never be the number 1 rated news in the market, unless they let some people go and bring in new talent for their newscasts, and perhaps a new news director. The way things are with their news product is unwatchable.

  9. In addition to being an MMJ... They probably wanted him to wash the station windows and do the landscaping maintenance between vo-sots and face-tweets. A man has his limits.

  12. I remember speculation on this thread a while back about what KXAS was using between MCTYW and Wall-to-Wall News. Well now with this video we can put it up to determination.
