Don't think I've seen a non NBC station use that NBC style of Helvetica in its Chyrons (the slightly expanded letters that were used on just about everything that originated in Burbank or NY for a while). I'm guessing it wasn't unique to NBC - they just used it a lot - from KNBC to Scrabble to NBC News to Late Night.

So much better with audio! I tracked down the origination of Sandy’s tweet. It’s an Instagram post from Chad Matthews, the ND at WABC. [MEDIA=instagram]Bp5OdsalQgB[/MEDIA]

It's uploaded on fair use grounds anyway, so no one person can claim ownership to upload it in the same realm as the original copyright owner cannot (or should not) take down a video without proving the uploader has profited from it in violation of their copyright outside the grounds of fair use.

Ahhh Florida... I hear it’s rather well heated this time of year...

I also dislike the new three anchor lineup on weekend GMA. Whit seems very good, but totally unnecessary. And I wish they had chosen Adrienne Bankert to replace Paula Faris. She's so much better than Eva Pilgrim in my opinion!!!

I think Megyn has no country cause Fox News viewers stopped liking her and that was she decided to do the big jump. Fox News is doing well without her I am glad Harris Faulker got the biggest boost in her career after Megyn Kelly. I think Harris Faulker should move to primetime. around 7 PM.

I think Al Roker should retire and possibly focus on getting a cooking show on Food Network or something. I agree that Al Roker is part of the culture problem at NBC News, he worked with Matt Lauer for many years. He probably knew his personal life better then anyone and he let him get away with his nonsense. Now Al Roker should not be responsible for his actions but as "leader" of the Today show, when a anchor preys or harms backstage staffers, the job of the leader is the report it. To me Megyn had no chance with her show cause she had enemies the very minute she walked through the door at 30 Rock. She probably brought it on herself but she was an outsider. Also she was too fool of herself and NBC News is a very political place. She wanted to be everything the next Oprah, next Wendy Williams, next Ellen and it never worked. She made a career in politics and making her do fluff news and talk show is like forcing a Dalmatian to get rid of their black spots. NBC misused her and set her up to fail everything from her Sunday show. The disaster with Putin and her wearing a cocktail dress.

A promo of USA Network's Latin American service in December 1997, that aired on Telefe. It was voiced by Rodolfo Barili. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=oZlKoTk0wp8;t=107 IIRC, Telefe distributed the channel to cable companies across the country. In those days, USA aired Entertainment Tonight, Hard Copy and Bloomberg Business News, but I don't know if Spanish subtitles appeared on screen.

Sure doesn’t sound like it. I’m specifically looking for the brass intro used on RAI’s TG2 news open.

Here’s a nice little video ABC7NY posted showing the EWN logos over the years. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10156246267064091

Here's what WKYC's news direct...er, director of news content Adam Miller has to say of the station being a "mini 30 Rock," according to this article.

Anyone knows who composed these Bloomberg themes?

Megyn has 69,000,000 reasons never to work again. She got more than the last laugh.
