The BBC posted earlier tonight on their election live blog about Trump’s interview with NewsNation. Needless to say, the way they described the network is something to say the least.

Just check their website for the full open

And here it is! Someone must've listened

And one other thing I'd like to say about that huge video of NBC News graphics I posted recently: IMO, the best one was the first one, that for Today (because of how the first vestiges of Today's sunrise icon peeked over the Earth as the continent animation appeared, and then a bright aura/shine appeared from the center of that sun as the NBC News Today title wiped in, with the sunrise completing itself when the title appeared in full and Bryant Gumbel and Jane Pauley were billed by the late NBC announcer Fred Facey... "From NBC News, this is Today...with Bryant Gumbel...and Jane Pauley."

By virtue of being the largest media market, I would imagine.

Just realized I typed a 3 instead of a 5. They both average around 500,000 - 560,000. For comparison CNN does 600,000 - 650,000 for the same slot both days and Fox does 1.4 +/- M (sat) & 1.7M +/- (sun). Either way MSNBC is in last, at this point I have no faith in them adding any news, they've passed up several opportunities to do so. I'm sure they'll have an opinion host announced by the end of the year. I'd love to see David Gura come back, "UP" was very popular before they placed Ali Velshi in his spot. I've corrected my mistake in the initial post. • • • • • • • MSNBC has a nice new desk for its election coverage. Seems to be a digital display in the front, hopefully they can change out the flag/stars and use it for normal programs. They are also using update election lower thirds, clearly inspired by NBC News NOW’s graphics, and I actually like them, very simple and clean, just imagine how good they’d look without the election info below it, make a few tweaks regarding the time and live (which is awkwardly placed) and they’d be very nice L3’s.

I feel like I'm back in 1999 when The Early Show started putting their logo in unrealistic places by their Fifth Avenue cameras.

Another interesting note about Drew; today they moved the Drew's News segment from leading the second half-hour back to the top of the first half-hour before the day's celebrity interview. Guess some who did have the split-schedule gave feedback about it.

I don't know why they switch LMAD off the 9am in the first place last season. Glad it's been corrected. _______________________________________________ Anywho, Kelly Clarkson just been rewarded a two-season renewal on the NBC O&Os today.

Wasn't it already a revival?

Looks like the real deal, but the lower 3rds appears to be modified. (too bad the opening was cut in the beginning) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obcYxQU1KkM&feature=youtu.be

Look S? Is NBC Arthouse syndicating it now? I thought I read somewhere that they were done syndicating their O&O looks?

I was trying to figure that out, too. At first I thought they wanted us to believe that Norah and company would be hanging out in there. But I have a feeling it will show results. I guess if NBC and Fox News can make it look like they are projecting election results on their NYC buildings, CBS has to, too.
