  1. Shown to station managers in 1997, to preview GE’s SixSigma program which was being rolled out to NBC and the O&Os at the time. Includes: - WNBC/New York - KNBC/Los Angeles - WMAQ/Chicago - KNSD/San Diego - WVIT/Hartford - WCMH/Columbus - WVTM/Birmingham - WTVJ/Miami - WJAR/Providence - WCAU/Philadelphia - WNCN/Raleigh

  2. CBS replacing Scott Pelley with Jeff Glor is a prime example as to why replacing Holt would be a bad move. Outside of bringing back Williams, there really isn't anyone that would be a compelling draw.

  4. How did this user get this before Michael Pannoni did? It's WBAL's sign-off routine from March 4, 1988, about halfway into their CBS era. It included a news headline summary, and a sermonette (whose intro and outro dated back to the first NBC era): Also on the tape was this promo & an ID with the CBSpirit graphics:

  5. At this point the parade is the only Chicago program that still airs on WGN America.

  6. I think this is relevant because WGN broadcasts it. The McDonald’s Thanksgiving Parade is now the Uncle Dan’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. https://www.chicagothanksgivingparade.com/

  7. Cleveland is now home to three pieces of shits (3 because of the new format, 5 because of Scripps and 19/43 because they just joined way too late in the news race + the "taboo" format turned viewers away) and just one runaway winner (8 because it does news the best + most veteran anchoring/reporting staff).

  9. Since Comcast bought NBC back in 2010-11, they had several opportunities to get college sports as some of the contracts were up at the time until present day. They didn't get the rights to those conferences since they did not want to spend the kind of money that the other networks were offering. The same was true when the baseball contract was up back in 2011, & NBA contract in 2014. Even the ivy league football conference were up earlier this year and ESPN was able to get a contract to air the games instead of NBCSN. My question is, if they did not want to spend the money on these sporting events at the times when the contracts were up, why would they be willing to spend the money in the future? If they are interested in niche sporting events, why even have a sports network. They can spread the niche sporting events across their other cable networks: CNBC, USA Network, Bravo, Oxygen Network, & etc. Hockey, Nascar, Soccer and Cycling can be on CNBC and USA network, while figure skating, gymnastics, tennis, rugby, and other niche / smaller sporting events can be on Bravo & Oxygen Networks. My point is, if they are not going to invest in more popular sporting events, they don't need the NBCSN channel.

  10. It would be an asinine move to ditch Lester just because NBC is #2. They’re still winning where it counts. The thought of replacing talent to cure these shows problems is also stupid because to me the shows don’t give a compelling reason to tune in anymore.
