An update to the WLTZ "rumors". Gray has been running WLTZ since September 1 under a shared services agreement. https://publicfiles.fcc.gov/api/manager/download/bf4c70a0-0bd9-9080-893f-6fba6bdbc7a3/1d06a0db-30a4-477b-9c1e-a1fc2b835195.pdf I wonder if the low power station acquired in LaGrange could be used as a replacement for WLTZ in the future? Looking at their website the talent has been dropping like flies over the last few months. It's only a matter of time before WTVM begins newscasts there (if they haven't already)....

I'm all for customizing a package, if it looks good and not "hacked" together. Sometimes all it takes is changing an accent color or two. Of course, most of us on here have seen so many of these packs that you can tell when part of one is part of another, or if it's "ripped off" another. The average viewer will not likely notice such things.

corrected it ,thank you

Kudos to Lee Goldberg, who was in tonight, and cut into primetime programming for an extended special report on the multiple tornado warnings affecting the tri-state area. He stayed on the air until the warnings expired with explanations of what we were seeing on the live radar, showed the exact neighborhoods and towns being hit the hardest and gave advice on where to go to seek shelter.

You still think they're going to switch to that god-awful noise? Talkback 16 would be jammed!!.......

Well, WNEP went there in a Talkback 16 segment. A viewer didn't like the NXT tease.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xdj1DpAQ-CU

A 1976 news promo for Chicago's WLS:

A weekend edition of KTVK's Good Evening Arizona w/ the director's track from 2007:

KTVK, Phoenix; 10 p.m., 2005:

In the memory of the late, great Jack White... A San Diego Institution. RIP Mike, say hi to Captain Mike for all of us, and Godspeed.

I didn't know KPNX (then KTAR at the time) also used the ALIVE branding (aka 12 ALIVE). I'm guessing that was part of the Combined Communications Corporation/Gannett thingy, along with WLKY Louisville (32 ALIVE), KOCO Oklahoma City (5 ALIVE) and of course WXIA Atlanta (11 ALIVE and STILL IS to this day).

A 10pm KTVK newscast from November 1995 -- several months before the late edition of NewsChannel 3 was replaced by Tonight Arizona -- with the director's track:

KTVK (1986–89) WTSP (1989–91) KPNX (1991–) From the article on her arrival at KPNX: Ford said she has been looking for another job for about nine months. "It wasn't working out here (at WTSP)," she said, adding that ownership problems "have made it a really unhappy shop." She was apparently headed to Dallas if not for KPNX reaching out! t also is worth noting that the view from Tampa was that, when Cole and Barresi left, it ended her dreams of replacing Sheryl Browne at WTSP. (She was replaced there by Sue Zelenko.)

KCBS' Live at 5 in 1986 with Jess Marlow, Colleen Williams and consumer editor Tom Vacar:

With Election Day 9 days away, the btm0815ma channel has uploaded ABC News coverage of the 1982, 1984, 1988 and 1992 Election Night coverage. The 1984 and 1988 uploads are of particular interest (at least to me) due to this being the first time more than a handful of brief snippets of ABC's coverage from 1984 and 1988 have surfaced on YouTube compared to CBS, NBC and (for 1988) CNN. btm0815ma YouTube channel
