Hallelujah KPIX 5 is coming back to 5:30 PST news in over a decade when the CBS Evening News was on at 6 before they moved to 5:30 few years later

Did WRGB debut In-Sink before the 1998 rebrand? (Go to the end of the video)

From 1980, here is a story about Red Bank High School's computer class as aired on WTVC. The clip features a WTVC news open and close using Tuesday3 by Tuesday Productions.

From the FuzzyMemories channel, this is all 5 parts of a WJLA investigative report series by Roberta Baskin called "Weaving Around the Law" on drunk drivers managing to get around laws that should have prevented them from being able to legally drive. https://youtu.be/AvIYA-8YL0E

Complete edition of Eyewitness News at 10 from 40 years ago tonight. (WLS, 1/10/79)...

Alot of affiliate renewals among the station groups this week. On Monday, Tegna Media renewed it agreement to carry ABC in nine of its markets. On Tuesday, Scripps renewed its agreement to carry NBC in five of its markets. And on Wednesday, Gray renewed its agreement to carry ABC in 25 of its markets (that includes eight of the former Raycom markets)

Wow, Mt. St Helen's eruption coverage from 1980. Starts with KGW, then goes to KING, then to KOMO. The Seattle coverage starts at about 14:50. ALSO, the best quality version of KING's electronic theme:

We're barely a week into the year. If there will be new graphics this year, they've got plenty of time. Rumor is they didn't even start the preliminary process of getting new graphics until late fall. So it probably wouldn't happen until summer or fall 2019 at the earliest.

New KCNC opens, some you've Never Seen before. https://youtu.be/tYxh_SwLU6o

There's even a sung "Action News is Everywhere" promo from 1977: These 1980 WOWT promos use what must have been the theme at the time: This is the Omaha stuff we've been waiting to see!

I wonder what intern is running the ticker.

I say Nexstar(or Sinclair) falls apart simply because it got so big that nobody could buy it...and I hope the goverment allows it to fail. No bail outs. Let it crash and burn so real entrepreneurs can try something new that can serve local markets better. The sooner it happens the better. Speculation can be very costly as Sinclair my soon attest to, TV stations groups should never be considered too big to fail. I see this whole Sinclair mess as being the "warning shot" that the FCC has fired across the bow of all the large station groups. I support comprehensive television reform.

I fail to see the improvement. Even with the MG acquisition, Nexstar is getting cheaper and cheesier. The micromanagement from Irving sticks out like a sore thumb on the Nexstar station in my neck of the woods.
