I found this on YouTube, but I can’t place it with a graphics package that a station in the group uses. Could this be a new graphics package?

Like a major news story, I thought this deserved a SPECIAL GRAPHIC, but in light of recent debuts, this is all we're gonna get...

Do not hold out hope for Move Closer To Your World sticking around. Tegna (then Gannet) shattered my dreams when it ripped the Spirit Of Texas out from under WFAA for no good reason at all. This company’s main goal in life is to take away anything that made a station unique, watchable and likable and replace it with cheaply designed, grossly underpaid, non-focus grouped cow manure. Thus, they will take great pleasure in sending MCTYW down the Lougee Loo and replacing it with their new age scat-snap-and-clap-fest as the viewers of NE PA light their torches and call for some heads—that I can assure you. They will spit in the faces of their valued viewers and laugh as they smash WNEP under their boots. As an aside, can someone please bring back Belo? I will buy you lunch! (For context: I’m not some old fart reminiscing about the good old days. I’m in my early-mid twenties, you know, the demographic Tegna is trying to reach with their crap. Just sayin’.) Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

By process of elimination, I would guess 1980-82. If she was 61, that would've put a college graduation of 1980 and her arrival at then-WJKW was in 1982.

WWSB in Sarasota uses that

Confirmed... This package debuted on WDAM at 6p.

Clearly Deadline forgot a lot, such as her husband of 33 years (which was why she left WJW for WFSB) and their college age daughter. https://www.courant.com/breaking-news/hc-br-wfsb-denise-dascenzo-dies-20191208-2lu3tjuqeve5fmt3cw4cjrasq4-story.html

For the sake of himself and anyone who was on the road that night, let's hope someone else drove him home last night.

WJW did post an article mentioning her passing. https://fox8.com/2019/12/07/former-fox-8-anchor-denise-dascenzo-passes-away/

News 12 unveiled their new weather truck, Thunderbolt 12. To bad the 12 from the old logo was used.

This demo reel from Jeff Hertrick offers a rare look at ill-fated Martinsburg, WV Fox affiliate WYVN's newscast. Also includes some clips of his time at WTOC. WYVN used the "USA News"-copycat production track "America's Station" from Firstcom.

Who decorated that WKYC cake? A 3 year old?

KMTV In 1979 with the “Dream Team”:

And here are some bits and pieces from the very first edition of NBC Overnight, a quirky newscast with great writing that truly set the standard for overnight news programming back in 1982:

...Why. Just why.

Hartford, CT... Southern New England... WFSB-TV... and Channel 3 Eyewitness News will never be the same without Denise D'Ascenzo. Thoughts, prayers and condolences go out to her family and to Denise's extended family at Channel 3 Eyewitness News. Denise contributions and dedication throughout the Hardford and Southern New England area were prospectively and respectfully great. And I know many of her fans and loyal viewers are sad, heartbroken and devastated of her unexpected death... she'll emotionally will be missed. Rest in Peace, Denise... God bless you, and Godspeed.

Whether it's Saint Patrick's Day, New Year's Eve, or a championship sporting event, reporters hate these live shots. https://twitter.com/WWLTV/status/1203495337673056256

Not sure if this video has been posted yet anywhere on TVNT, but thought I'd get this on here. This is the announcement as made on WFSB's air earlier this evening. Very sad.

WJW just mentioned it on air by anchor Bill Sheil. This photo hangs in the hallway in at WJW with Dick Goddard, Denise D' Ascenzo, Tim Taylor and Casey Coleman.
