And scrolling back through this thread, Dish has had multiple spats with the sidecars before the main Nexstar spat. Dish is just such a horrible company to begin with. It needs to go away. AT&T needs to spin off DirecTV into the company it once was and unify the two into a reputable satellite TV operator. There are too many options out there to even consider this as a monopoly, especially with all of the OTT options that have been introduced in the last several years.

So I went back on my old idea of having separate channels for out of town newscasts that I had recorded and started to combine them back into my Houston TV History channel. That said the KORO, KAJA and KDCU clips will move eventually. I've been going back through my old hard drives from the past decade and am uploading some of the smaller-market stuff I have. Some I never uploaded, while others are re-upped from my old Houstontvnews channel. So, let's go back a bit. I'll list by market / date. There are promos uploaded, but these are just the newscasts for the sake of some brevity. June 2019 - Abilene, TX January 2019 - Waco/Bryan-College Station, TX November 2015 - Topeka, KS / Kansas City, MO Joplin, MO / Pittsburg, KS - October 2015

Here's vintage KSTW (CBS) Northwest 11 News: 11@11 from 1995.

It is. Can confirm WAVE has ditched their custom look of a year after the upgrade. Apparently there's still some customization with it (mainly weather it looks like), otherwise it's the standard Gray look. Don't think they're too happy about it.

I talked with Scott and he said these Retrospectives are in commeration of NewsActive3 hitting 2000 uploads. He's got two more retrospective vids to come before resuming newscast uploads. A full WHDH newscast from 1990 with the John Tesh theme:

CBS News has appointed Adriana Diaz & Jericka Duncan as new anchors of the CBS Weekend News. Jericka will anchor Sundays from CBS HQ in New York City. She'll start this Sunday (12/6). Adriana will anchor Saturdays from the CBS News bureau in Chicago. She'll start the following Saturday (12/12).

This happened ten years ago tonight. That's when WPVI placed a circle around the now 53-year old "6" insignia. Vid courtesy of "ekt8750" from YT.

You like ONE FULL HOUR (and a bit over) of NewsActive3?

The Class-h room pits two teams from local schools against each other in trivia with a small audience from the schools, all taped on the FOX29 evening set. Pretty much every aspect of that sentence has been upended since the start of the pandemic, which is unfortunate. I appreciate the fact that WTXF has been willing to try out so many locally-produced programs, particularly a game show. I'm a BIG fan of "The Final 5" on sister station WTTG in DC. It airs weeknights at 11:30 with a single host riffing on news stories of the day (typically political) with an interview or two from relevant experts. The FOX29 show sounds like it will be more pop-culture based, but again, I appreciate them trying something local in that slot as opposed to another run of Judge Judy.

Good riddance. What a vile creature.

You see, this is where the media has changed. They used to at least try to speak truth to power and tried to expose wrongs committed by "the man." Now the national media is in bed with "the man." Flynn was railroaded. Back in the old days, the media would have caused a stink about railroading people. But I guess now that they are the PR department of Government, Inc. they're not allowed to do that anymore. This is the worst part about media consolidation. Fewer voices = more of this uniparty garbage.

@TexasTVNews as me and you both live in this market we already know how TEGNA treats WFAA. So that scenario is a good chance of happening and matter of fact I made a scenario of a realignment if it happens this fall. Dallas/Ft.Worth Realignment KMPX ABC 29. (TEGNA) Fox 4. (O&O) NBC 5. (O&O) CBS 11. (O&O) TXA 21. (O&O) CW 33. (Nexstar) Estrella 8. (Estrella) Ion 68 (Scripps) Telemundo 39. (O&O)
