Little off-beat, but since we're talking about the ABC O&O's, I'll put this out: most of the ABC O&O's meterologists met for a summit in NYC: https://twitter.com/abc7dallas/status/1220061479715721216?s=20

Something tells me you’ll survive.

These pictures from WNT's stage manager show that like we suspected, WNT tonight is on temp set with an L shaped video wall while their normal space is renovated. I bet the space will be ready by the Iowa Caucus coverage on Feb 3

Shows you how much I don't know about television but know how much about television news. Its why I'm on this forum. Haha.

1. grown-ish is on Freeform. 2. You left out mixed-ish.

You have to admit this looks pretty good for small town LPTV news in 1983:

Just posting the original Instagram links would be easier than uncropped screenshots.

Would be interesting to see if Local-ish is eventually made available to other ABC stations besides the O/O's.

Don't forget... black-ish and grown-ish on The ABC Television Network.

Soon to follow: News-ish Truth-ish Worth Watching-ish Fish-ish Boring-ish And introducing: Ish-ish I think ABC’s motto must be “an ish in every home and 2 ish’s in every pot!”...

If it weren’t for the live shot, you’d think this newscast was from 1969, not 1979.

https://www.newscaststudio.com/2020/01/06/abc-news-times-square-temporary/ Towards the end of this article from NewscastStudio, there is an interesting idea that was raised. Is it possible that WNT is not even in TV3 at the moment, but in a temporary studio?

Not to digress even further on the movie end of things, but the sex/violence issue is precisely why Disney started Touchstone Pictures in the 80's. They're just using Fox (a bigger, more well-known name) for that now.

Now that the searchlights of 21st Century Fox are no longer part of the brand identify of the New Fox network, they’ve rolled out a rebrand earlier this Fall. I’m curious whether this abstract logo will find its way into local station identities and when the searchlights will start to disappear from local stations with the dated, so-called “kite” logo. more on the rebrand here: https://www.creativebloq.com/news/fox-entertainment-rebrand
