I'm not sitting back and allowing anyone to call me out and tell lies. Better yet. I know exactly what I will do with him... (pop-click-whirrrrr) Problem solved.

It's WENY's Eyewitness News in 1993...or is that 1980??? Also in Ithaca was the cable newscast "News Center 7", which still looks better than WENY: And on the other side, WTVW looked almost major-market in 1990:

The President has been very clear recently...and most educated folks agree that... FAKE NEWS is the Enemy of the People. Start using real "sources" and start confirming stuff in triple. You might get some viewers back of you do your job in an unbiased way as you are supposed to. NO Fake News!

It’s been incredibly painful watching Stelter and Oliver Darcy defend this on Twitter. This is now the second Russia “bombshell” CNN has blown and has refused to admit their mistake and retract the story. And POTUS has capitalized on it: [MEDIA=twitter]1034934675972792320[/MEDIA]

@ns8401 @EatNews Could both of you stop puffing out your chests, acting like a couple tough guys? Thanks.

It's the reincarnation of 7 Too!

For several years, a WTLV newscast from 1972 has been circulating with news anchor Eric Andersen. Now, we have another WTLV newscast from that year, but with a different news anchor, Tom Sanders. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANnw3Co-3CQ Watch beginning at 5:02:47.

[QUOTE="Eat News, post: 216798, member: 2985"]I take it you all saw Lieberman and the Natasha stuff? @SFTV @TheRob[/QUOTE] I'm just now reading the "hair mousse" incident. Eaten up, spit out...

WLS in Chicago takes a behind-the-scenes look at... ...WBBM Newsradio 78 in 1979: ...and WPWR-TV, the city's newest independent TV station, in 1984:

but who will replace them after they die off, younger tech savy viewers don't really have any need for TV news, the younger alt right crowd doesn't even watch FNC

And to read... said calmly with no chest puffing... scouts honor.

So, something interesting, be it very grotesque, on tonight's news. Channel 7 covered a grotesque murder of a mother in the Bronx. Then, Josh Einiger noted that this family had dealt with an issue like this before. They flip to video of Jeff Pegues and Liz Cho from 2006 covering it, when the victim's mother was brutally murdered. While it is nice to see Jeff Pegues and Liz Cho get a throwback moment, man this was creepy.

Mentioned in the shoutbox before, starting next Monday, KGO adds an hour at 10 p.m. on its partner station KOFY bringing it to two hours from 9-11 p.m. starting Labor Day.

Am I reading this right? WOIO is adding a 7:30pm show? Well Jeopardy! is about to get the shaft. Scripps should have NEVER cheaped out on these shows.....

And I’ve stayed true to my word.

I looked up some old Feder archives from 2003, and it looks like we're all kind of right. February 27: "Now that weekend news anchor Cheryl Burton has signed a long-term renewal with WLS-Channel 7, all eyes are on the ABC-owned station's No. 1 news star, Diann Burns. Both Burton and Burns were believed to have topped the "wish list" of Joe Ahern, president and general manager of WBBM-Channel 2. With Burton staying put at Channel 7, Burns could be poised to join Ahern after her current $2 million-a-year contract expires on June 30. Burns, 45, who's been Chicago's top-rated and highest-paid news anchor for years, would be a prize catch for Channel 2, alongside 5 and 10 p.m. anchor Antonio Mora. Coincidentally, Linda MacLennan stepped down Wednesday after 16 years at the CBS-owned station, creating an obvious opening for Burns. Tracy Townsend has the 10 p.m. slot for the time being. Emily Barr, president and general manager of Channel 7, reportedly has been pressing Burns to sign an early renewal with the station. Barr declined to comment Wednesday. The only certainty Wednesday was that Burton, 40, had signed a new five-year deal, negotiated by her agent, Joel Weisman. After more than 10 years as weekend news anchor, Burton is expected to expand her role and raise her visibility considerably under the new contract." February 28: "In a coincidence of cosmic proportions, Linda MacLennan's last night on the air at WBBM-Channel 2 also turned out to be Diann Burns' last night on the air at WLS-Channel 7. The big difference between the two sign-offs Wednesday night was that Burns didn't know at the time that her 18-year career at the ABC- owned station was over. So she never got to say goodbye. Emily Barr, president and general manager of Channel 7, told Burns Thursday that she was being removed as news anchor of the station's 5 and 10 p.m. newscasts, effective immediately, and that she would be paid for the remainder of her contract through June 30. Barr wasted no time Thursday replacing her No. 1 news star. Kathy Brock, a 13-year veteran of the station, succeeds Burns alongside Ron Magers at 10 p.m., while continuing to co-anchor at 6 p.m. with Alan Krashesky. Cheryl Burton, who has been weekend news anchor for more than 10 years, replaces Burns alongside Magers at 5 p.m."

Jacqueline Bennett resigns from NBC Boston and headed Back to Southern California. Wish she can come back to The Bay Area, but with her family down in SoCal and husband in the Military, I hope she can find a spot back in SD.....KFMB?

In other news, we're getting a new ticker soon. Despite its looks, it uses the same amount of screen space as the classic one. Which means TSN will still be able to cover it up with the even older red glossy one they're still using.

Sorry if i insulted you back there.

[QUOTE="Info Junkie, post: 216704, member: 3593"]Hey @T.L. Hughes i know I might have asked you before but can I update some of your compilations? I’ve been getting requests since the beginning and plenty of them were to update your existing compilations. If I do update them though I won’t be doing every one of them - like if I were doing NYC I’d probably be here all day cause you know how much NYC stuff gets uploaded. And yes @NCFLMedia, I will update WJXT if possible. Also here’s some KOTV commercials from 1985 - including a newsbreak with CNN’s Bob Losure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrpbE2Rxm0Q[/QUOTE] Tell you what, you can create your versions of the aforementioned compilations. Though I'll also do my own update of those same stations, whenever I get my laptop back. Basically, I don't mind anyone creating their own compilations, so long as no one assigns lines as to who does which station or market.
