  1. That's not really how that works. First off, NXT is not the brand, it's a graphic that's a stylized shortening of the word "next". Second, whatever trademark WWE has for "NXT" would be limited to wrestling. In fact, since I found it, the registrations WWE has for "NXT" are essentially limited to merchandise related to the league and wrestling broadcasts on TV and online. A quick search of the US Trademark database lists 200+ trademarks using "NXT" (including at least six that are exclusively the letters "NXT") as trademarks for things like Artificial turf Sports drinks enhanced with minerals; Sports drinks, namely, performance drinks; Sports drinks, namely, recovery drinks Retail store services featuring manufactured homes management of multi-tenant living facilities Vacuum cleaners and vacuum cleaner parts Semiconductor lithographic machines, namely, lithographic machines used to manufacture semiconductors, and structural parts therefor Water treatment equipment, namely, water filtration units. Electric battery fast chargers TL;DR There's nothing stopping them from using a graphic that says "NXT" in promos.

  2. he can't be much worse than jay howell... who essentially hit the ground running with projects to automate the control rooms... said goodbye to expensive talent and redundant management... loved bonded cellular over anything else (which has blown up on air multiple times)... he also implemented a cheap-o way to telecast the local minor league baseball games... taking the feeds of the team's in-house stadium cameras and sending them back to the station over cheap IP encoders (not fiber, some wireless junk) where they are switched... blew up right before the first telecast and almost sank it... if the engineers hadn't been clever... he is cheap cheap cheap!!! KOVR is ripe for some bean counting... good day sacramento takes up tons of resources (sac has a huge creative services team... half of which seem to exclusively work on good day material...) and makes little profit... who wants to bet a year from now it's reduced to an hour long infotainment show?? KOVR is where they are slipping bean counters into the "good ol' boys" club that is CBS GMs...

  4. Does Courtney Hall ad-lib? Every time I see her on the morning news she is somehow stumbling over every other word or emphasizing the wrong words. Goodness

  5. Cutting-edge stuff for ‘88. Definitely set the tone for the early-mid 1990s.

  6. Natasha is certainly capable. She should have gotten the position years ago anyway.

  7. That imaging song sounded so catchy that I uploaded it myself: Also a WRC weekend open from 1984, featuring Mike Hambrick (who later returned to DC at WJLA) and Scott Clark before his big break finally establishing continuity to WABC’s sports department:

  8. Director: "Ready Camera Three..." TD: "We can't take Three yet...it's still buffering..." Yup that's cheap!

  9. I was (and still) remain an ABC7 and WGN guy, but I remember watching Warner and Allison a few times. I had no idea he was there that long. May he continue to report in Heaven.

  13. 22 minutes of WSB news coverage, including of the fatal helicopter crash killing NASCAR racer Davey Allison in 1993. The station is already using Image VIII but not the Vance graphics: And a KOVR 13 News brief from 1989... Kizzume's got the quality and the clips! :O https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=mrJS9UUxvQI;t=1070

  14. If so, I hope this was her decision. She is one of few there that actually does a good job. Jessica is in for Alexandra at 4pm today and Natasha is in for Ukee at 5pm.

  15. How did we all miss this... Justin Draper is the new GM at KOVR. https://www.adweek.com/tvspy/cbs-taps-justing-draper-as-kvor-gm/208150 warning, warning, warning... Draper is a CBS bean counter. Not a sales weasel... Not a news pig... Not a production or engineering nerd... Draper is a Bean Counter. x2 Pay very close attention to what happens at KOVR with this guy because he will be setting the tone for all the other OnO's in the CBS chain. If he makes a big splash in the Sacto River then expect CBS to shoot him up the ranks real quick. Draper has one job. Get KOVR "on financial track" asap....and then the rest of the chain shall follow.
