Chairman Pai announced he will be leaving the agency on January 20.

GMA’s Christmas decorations on set look atrocious this year.

Getting some retro special report vibes from the start of that intro.

Another "blow" to Sinclair. YouTubeTV is dropping the Tennis Channel. This one hurts really bad, and I"m sure a lot of viewers will be sad over this one. https://www.cordcuttersnews.com/youtube-tv-is-dropping-the-tennis-channel/?fbclid=IwAR3Tuy34Ds3UIGAPpH5_4UOGngdHI2jqFXk1lC-uVFSfLHjPBWOV48NncKs Now with the sarcasm aside, I do wonder what the future holds for Sinclair's affiliates on YouTubeTV. They are one of the few groups that allows a majority of their CW & MyNetworkTV stations to be carried, with very few exceptions. It's only a matter of time before they get into a spat like Nexstar has with their ABC affiliates and Hulu Live.

Meanwhile on the same day Pai announced his departure, Jessica Rosenworcel is being pursued as the top leading candidate to lead as Chairman of the FCC. Given Rosenworcel's past comments about Sinclair's antics with the Trib deal I just.. can't imagine this being good news for Sinclair.

The crawl was on WCNC last night

And that he's quietly moved on with the purchase of KBSI/WDKA from Sinclair (and with more deals with them possibly down the line as part of Sinclair's efforts to pay down its debt from the RSN acquisition) so I'm not sure that Kim is even going to make another push to take over Tegna and just focuses on being one of the major shareholders in the company

I agree with that. But anything available free OTA, especially newscasts shouldn't be locked up behind a paywall.

Now it's one thing to login if they are airing network and syndicated programming on the website (like the NBC O&O's sites) or a local cable news station but it's another if you need a login for a local OTA newscast. Ironically, DISH and Nexstar are having issues right now and if a deal isn't made by this Wednesday December 2nd, DISH viewers are out of luck.

Was not expecting the Times New Roman-esque font on the talent names and the titles at the beginning. Looks out of place for the rest of the look. But still quite the find! Heres Maurice DuBois in Sacto:

I don't know whether to post this here or in the international thread, but here's a short intro from KCBS as seen from South Korean broadcaster KBS from 1987.

Wow, complete with the Roseanne ABC went to while the network scrambled! The first KABC special report has the close for the open. What. A. Treat.

2 1975 WXYZ Promos 1985 MOVE House bombing coverage. WNEV 1985 news snippet 1989 Full Loma prieta Earthquake coverage, like you've never seen before.

I've found the theme used by Telefe Noticias between 1990 and 1992. Surprisingly, it's production music and it was composed by John Tesh! It's called "Destination Paris". Hope you'll like it!

I know right, screw Pat Robertson, he airs on WRAZ FOX 50 in Raleigh or he used too they now air simulcast sister-station WRALs Noon News. No one watches and want to hear his racist-gospel rants

There be irreparable damage, I mean Sinclair learned the hard way and there collapsing right now, I'm kinda happy about it cause pushing agendas is something for cable. And local people kept it local, non-biased community faith, and now local news is endanger!!! Now I don't live in a Tegna market but imaging WFMY 2 News with Huckabee racist views.

You know this reminds me of pastor Kenneth Copeland when he said "The media says Joe Biden is the next President a bursted out laughing" well this reminds of it but it's at people like him and his faith!!! This is never gonna happened not even Aj Ptat (A Republican himself) wouldn't allow this to happen TBN is a joke the only one I know who watches it is my grandma on my dad side (she's strictly Christian). And that would cost a huge rapture and it would be the largest mass affiliation rupture since 1995 with the FOX/New World deal. Cause no network is gonna wanna affiliate with that cause they serve the audience of America which is diverse, multicultural, and multi-religous also they be the ones to clear network programming for stuff not all religions would do not be happy with. This article is comedy cause it's never gonna happen!!! They even pre-empt the network evening newscasts, specials it just wouldn't be good for the business!!! And in Markets like Seattle, St. Louis, Dallas, Houston, Portland, Washington D.C., Phoenix that just wouldn't slide there.
