that my little pony pun was cringe ngl

The music dates to at least 1980. They also used "Classical Gas" in the '70s not sure which version.

Now here's the 1981 news open for KIRO:

WNYW 2007. Before the set hung around too long and became outdated, it was well used in it's early days. Fox 5 had strong graphical transitions, great theme music and nice ornate camera angles. Modern WNYW should take a page from this. Loved "the most powerful name in local news" branding.

I wish he'd come back to Portland! But KGW just hired a replacement for the original Joe Donlon replacement who left last summer. (And there's no other apparent openings elsewhere in the market that he'd fit into.) But I hear Joe has people already knocking on his door, so I wouldn't be worried for him. He made the choice not to renew his contract, so idk if I'd expect to see him on a Nexstar property. But who knows...

I agree.. they really don’t have anyone that brings the “wow” factor to the show. WNBC people seem to like Darlene and Michael.. GDNY has a good team especially later on..I do wish they’d give Dan a co-anchor 4:30-6.. WABC people will always stick with.. as they do have a really good morning team.. and PIX has been picking up some big names lately and really improving the show.

I wanted to mention that I think that Jessica is excellent. She has done early AM and weekend spots, as well as the usual weekday afternoon/evening. She recently won her first Emmy Award from her News12 days. I am proud to see that she's actually from my town in Westchester.

It probably also doesn't help that they haven't added a traffic reporter. John and Alex Denis used to be a great combination.

John got screwed when he was moved to weekends, he posted at once point that it was not his choice. As for Elise, she's bland, as is the entire weekday morning show.

What an absolute shitshow NewsNation is. Nexstar doesn't deserve their stations if they keep funneling money like this.

Misused as a lukewarm opinion host, I'm going to miss Donlon, but this is an overall positive move for the network. NOT ENOUGH, but going in the right direction, ratings be damned. As for Joe, to be totally honest, there are no immediate vacancies for a 50-something white guy anchor in Chicago, so I'd maybe keep an eye on Portland, where he spent a couple decades at KGW, before his 4-year stint on the northwest side of Chicago.

Longtime NFL insider John Clayton has sadly passed away today at the age of 67 after a brief illness.
