I’m not defending what nextstar is doing but How many viewers do watch live streaming? And how much money do tv stations make off it? It’s very costly to stream, whatever the viewership was when a station was live streaming its going to drop now there’s a delay.

ABC completely mishandled this and not the two anchors in question? There’s equal share of blame to go around. Amy and TJ showing a complete lack of judgement as public figures is on them.

Right. On. The. Money.

Maybe not fired, but certainly reassigned. It's hard for them to deliver objective news of the day when they, themselves, are the topic and attention of the news.

A just-uploaded rarity--a 1977 edition of WLS's 6 p.m. news:

Sad news out of Birmingham. If you grew up watching WBRC-TV in the mornings, you remember Country Boy Eddie. Gordon Edward Burns "Country Boy Eddie" passed away yesterday at the age of 92. Burns hosted "Country Boy Eddie and Friends" from 1957 to his final show on New Year's Eve 1993. https://www.wbrc.com/video/2023/01/14/remembering-country-boy-eddie/ https://deadline.com/2023/01/country-boy-eddie-dead-alabama-tv-star-who-gave-dolly-parton-tammy-wynette-chance-was-92-obituary-1235221916/

Here's another rarely used NS2000 promo cut for an open

Agree! Really hope they build out a nice new set to use up all that great space and keep it functional for some versatility in shots.

They had not started work the last time (about 2 weeks ago) I walked by the studio. I do know that it was been completely cleaned out so it's ready for work to begin. The studio is big enough for more than just a weather center, so I'm hoping they really take advantage of the space.

I've been dipping in and out of KCAL Mornings. The product has improved, but I'm still loyal to KTLA. One thing I'm a little confused with is the weather lineups. Olga has been starting off from around 4-8am. Then Alex Biston or Mary Yoon will come in for a few hits during the 8 and 9am hours. Olga returns for the 10 at 10. I know Paul Deanno is coming to the station in February. Just seems a little odd for Olga to return on the back end. I'd like to see one consistent weather personality for the early AM and another consistent person for the later news block. The 7am-10am block with Jamie Yuccas and Rudabeh Shahbazi is the strong suit of the new launch so far. As they continue to solidify their brand, Jamie and Rudabeh can defintiely be a solid #2 in local mornings. I really like their chemistry.

I've never heard it as an open, but WLS used it in a promo campaign in 1984/85-ish.

Past the 1:45 mark, you get to see the closing of NewsWatch 4 from Denver's KOA-TV (now KCNC) from 1980. The news theme package was TuesdayG from Tuesday Productions. Wasn't too long before NewsWatch4 was rebranded as NewsCenter4 later that year.

I’d like them to come to some solution sooner than later. Radar and Variety are reporting that GMAers don’t want Amy and TJ back. We shall see what happens but Rhiannon Ally and DeMarco Morgan are making a nice competitive pairing as the replacements.

I'm sure morale is low so any news of a win can be helpful to the staff. (I love the way the table looks to be that anchor's left shoulder.)

WESH newscast from September 1990, with one of the clunkier slogans I've heard. It didn't last long, the slogan that is. Also one of the only newscasts I've seen outside of New England that opens with the lottery numbers from earlier in the day.
