I hate to say this, but this image of what protestors/rioters did to the CNN center in Atlanta (and this logo) sums up exactly what Jeff Zucker has done to this network, and how his recklessness has helped this country get to where it is today.

So this turned up on YouTube and the uploader wasn't sure what it was: A radio program? Part of a special? No, it's a 30-minute vinyl record! It's not from 1988 but rather 1991 (though it appears the idea originated around 1989). The Taking Pride In...series was actually something sold to a whole bunch of TV and radio stations. (A list is at the end of this) It was produced by Impact Broadcast Marketing, a Nashville shop. According to this 2014 article on the KREM version (which already was online), apparently the lyrics were nearly the same for each market (with two songs being altered) — just the narration changed. Found a mention of it on this site: The article mentions some of the more than 25 (!) versions that were made, and there have to be some more: Inland Northwest (KREM) Nashville (WSMV) Topeka (KSNT) Dayton (WHIO) Portland (KOIN) Peoria (WMBD radio and TV) Maine Wichita (KSNW and KFDI radio) Cedar Rapids (KGAN) Nevada (KOLO) San Antonio (KENS) Rochester (WOKR) Omaha (WOW radio) Georgialina (WRDW) East Tennessee Central Florida Four States (KSNF, I'm sure) Eastern Carolina (WITN) West Michigan (WZZM and WMUS radio) Greenville; Spartanburg; Asheville; Anderson (WSPA, four separate entries) Amarillo (KAMR) Mid-Missouri (KOMU) Austin (KTBC) Macon (WMAZ) as "Straight from the Heart of Central Georgia" Springfield [IL] (WICS) Texoma (KFDX) El Paso (KTSM radio and TV) Buffalo (WIVB) the Tri-State (WOWK) South Bend (WNDU) as "Celebrate Michiana" Lubbock (KAMC) The Coastal Empire (WTOC) Celebr8te Oklahoma (KTUL)

It's 1992 and Hurricane Andrew is approaching southern Florida. Here's CNN's PrimeNews:

Whenever I watch cbs46 (which isn't that often) I have to ask myself: "who are these people"? The turnover at the station is ridiculous. Meredith never gives the station management or talent time to implement a new strategy and let it grow. It's a constant cycle of rebrands and talent/management turnover. After years of Gannett/Tegna mismanaging WXIA, WGCL should be in a place to compete. But instead Meredith's impatience has led to no real significant gains in the ratings.
