Rob went home today after recovering.

WGN posted a retrospective of Joe's time there 6 hours ago, and it appeared on Google, but they took it down for some reason...

Some WTEN and WNYT commercials from 1991: The WNYT stuff is from the tail end of their “News 13” era - includes slides for their anchors, a news brief, and a promo for “Buy New York First” sponsored by Evergreen Bank (now TD Bank).

WJZY is no longer airing its special Tuesday night 11pm newscast which it called “Fox 46 News Nightside.” It was for coronavirus and primary election coverage. It had aired on Tuesday nights since the end of February. I guess it will return when it gets closer to the election. But they need to just go ahead and make that a permanent every weeknight thing,

Here's WDFX's promo

Developments in Washington, D.C. and Portland, OR: WJLA, WTTG to Trial 3.0 Advanced Emergency Alerting in D.C. - It's an 8-week trial of ATSC 3.0 emergency capabilities. No start date determined yet. The trial will be held through 4 two-week blocks, with each block progressing in implementation of content. KPDX, KPTV Portland To Offer NextGen TV With Triveni Digital

Orlando's lone 3.0 station is WRCF-LD, before it was converted to 3.0 it was a 1080i simulcast of WVEN-43 (which is 720p) and no subchannels.

Ooh. I like that shot A LOT. Hope they keep using it post-COVID. Are any anchors at WNBC still at home?

Here's what's going on in Nashville with their 3.0 launch....and how the now 3.0 frequencies moved their feeds to the existing 1.0 stations. WNAB's CW feed is now on WKRN's frequency, still maintaining their 58.1 PSIP ID. All of the existing WKRN sub-channels are still there. WNAB is still operated by Sinclair and owned by a third wheel as before. The remaining WNAB subchannels are now on WTVF's frequency keeping the same PSIPs. WUXP's channels are now on WZTV's frequency, including all of their subchannels. The former frequencies of WUXP and WNAB are now the ATSC 3.0 signals. I'll be curious to see how these are used, and how the picture quality of the existing stations is now that they have shoehorned in the other feeds. The WUXP and WNAB feeds are 720p, along with the host feeds of their primary stations, WKRN and WZTV. Only WTVF is still in 1080i, and the rest of the feeds are in 480i. And in Pittsburgh... WPNT's former frequency is now the 3.0 station. Their main feed is now on WPGH's frequency, and the other WPNT sub-feeds are on WTAE's frequency. I'd be curious to see how the stations plan on using their 3.0 feeds. How much more content can they offer between the 2 in Nashville (from 5) and the 1 (from 3) in Pittsburgh.

1977 WPTZ Eyewitness News Open (with a funky theme!)

Anyone remembers the short lived FOX newsmagazine "The Pulse"? 2002

WYMT Close 1993. This is what happened at the end of the newscast on WYMT's second set. Getting ready for a new set. The female anchor was carried off the set and staff started to cut the background out.

They used the WPXI theme! Makes sense. They’re both Channel 11.
